Wow!  The synopsis of this book certainly doesn't give anything away.  It was a welcome surprise.  I love books on MMA fighters  I mean who doesn't?  This was more gritty and darker than I imagined and it blew me away.  It involved romance, family, danger, and intrigue.  It put the sin in sin city!Chiara has to take the role on caring for her mentally ill sister at a young age.  She became an escort and was given some stipulations she was never to seriously date a man and after ten years she would be able to retire.  Chiara gave up a lot including her innocence.  Torin is a MMA fighter who really hasn't cared much about anything besides his family and fighting.  Women weren't high on his list of priorities.  He meets Chiara at a party where she is working.  At first he doesn't know she is an actual escort but feels an instant pull to Chiara.  They decide on one night of sex.  They both have no intention of anymore then that.  One nigh turns into another week.  Which becomes dangerous for Chiara since being serious with a man is a big no no.  She is months from the end of her contract and her freedom.  She has big plans for her future.  She has given up everything for others and has gotten nothing in return.  Torin doesn't care what her profession is he just wants to be with her.  She has drastically changed him overnight and he wouldn't want it any other way.  There is no denying that this explosive couple could have an amazing future.  Both smart, loving, and driven.  When Chiara's boss catches wind of their relationship will it be the end of Torin and Chiara's happily ever after?Chiara and Torin are survivors.  They both had childhoods that weren't pretty.  They gave up themselves for people they loved and didn't regret their decisions one bit.  I was so proud of this couple for all their sacrifices.  They had amazing chemistry and some very tender moments.  Their story is highly emotional and the opposite of light.  Chiara and Torin has one difficult journey.  I loved their passion and drive to be with each other.If you are looking for a real good MMA romance that is raw, emotional, and suspenseful then you should absolutely read this book.  This is also a series focusing on different characters and I am definitely looking forward to reading more, a lot more.
