I LOVED Undefeated, but I do have to warn you that it contains graphic domestic abuse and violence, so if you're sensitive or uncomfortable with these subjects, this is NOT the book for you.The book revolves around a shy, undefeated boxer named Shane Dekker who moves from Compton, CA to Austin, TX in search of a new trainer after his previous trainer/Grandfather passes away.By complete chance, he bumps into a couple arguing in a parking lot and intervenes when he notices the man completely disrespecting the woman.  He is completely against domestic or child abuse and will beat the hell out of any man he sees committing this vile act.The couple that Shane bumps into is a woman named Kace and her boyfriend, Josh.  Kace is a domestic abuse victim and has been brutally abused for years and her self-confidence has been reduced to nothing, that she blames herself for Josh's behavior. Kace does not see a way out and stays in the horrible relationship that she's grown accustomed to.Shane can't seem to get Kace out of his mind and bumps into her at an insurance company she works at.  He builds up the courage to talk to her and they begin a friendship/romance and he promises Kace, "I'm coming for your heart."After Josh viciously attacks Kace, she finally leaves and runs to Shane. I can't even begin to describe what Shane's friend Rip, does to Josh, but it was totally AWESOME and he completely deserved it.Shane was so sweet and considerate to Kace and he vowed not to rush things with her, as he wanted her to heal from her experience. He helps her re-build her confidence by frequently reminding her that she is beautiful. He treated her with the utmost respect, adoration and love and although his profession is to be mean and brutal in the ring, he was so caring and gentle to her, which made me fall head over heels in love with Shane.This is a story of two individuals healing one another through their painful pasts.  Though this book is extremely graphic and raw, it is absolutely real and relatable and amongst other things, that's what I loved the most about it. Scott does an excellent job of extracting so many different emotions, you be left breathless and in complete awe. I can't wait to read more of Scott's books!Rating: 4.5 Stars
