I love Cara McKenna's books!  Her characters are usually these marginal individuals with loads of issues but they are eager to love and be loved.  Flynn appears to be this seemingly simple construction worker who moonlights as a pugilist in the basement of a bar.  In actuality, he is this complex and loving man who walks through life on his own terms.  Laurel was an enigma.  She was escaping something but we're not sure from what or who she's escaping.  I didn't connect with her at first and didn't really like her until about 45% into the book.  I loved Flynn but then I always seem to love Ms. McKenna's male characters - they are sometimes aggressive but not overly alpha like some of the cartoon alphas we see in some books.  Her males often have a depth of character that you don't always see.  These two start a relationship of sorts based on an enjoyment of rough sex.  It was a delight watching them come together and, in true McKenna - hawt!! Not many secondary characters but those who do appear for brief periods make an impression.  Such a well written quirky romance.  This author is an auto-buy for me.
