What Worked For Me:OK….this is a win-win for me because 1.) It has MMA/Underground fighting as its theme.  I absolutely adore watching a fighter fall for his lady love and watching Brock go down (in every sense of the word you can think of) is a no brainer for me.  Instant love.  I don’t care that he’s  hot, a bad-ass, has a ripped, I-want-to-lick-you-all-over body, is madly in lust and love with Izzy, and has this side of him that makes me want to hold and cuddle him for the rest of my life (or until Izzy kicks my butt for trying to take her man).  And he absolutely cares very much for Izzy.  Izzy herself is no push-over.  She wants Brock but thinks he is way out of her league and has made the choice it’s better to just stay roommates than to ruin a friendship she cherishes.  She’s not stick thin, sells sex toys for a living, and comes off as a little bit shy.  But, once the two of them decide to go for it, they go all out.  They have chemistry and whether they are dancing in a bar or sparring on a mat so Brock can teach her moves to protect herself, the passion and depth of emotion these two feel for each other practically singes the “pages” on your reading device.  And, we mustn’t leave out the one-on-one sexy times between the two…although that would be a tame way to describe the combustible pheromones that surround Brock and Izzy every time they get their clothes off (let’s be honest, they don’t even have to take their clothes all the way off and you still risk starting an explosion if you light a match in a room with them). We also get an Epilogue.  I love when an author gives us those.  They are like the icing on a perfect chocolate chip cupcake.  And the #2 reason this book was win/win for me?  It was written by Jenika Snow.  This woman knows how to write a story that sucks you in from the very beginning and keeps you entertained until the very last word.  I can’t wait to read the next book in this fantastic new series!What Didn’t Work For Me:This book was sheer perfection!Would I Recommend This Book:YesFinal Star Rating:5 of 5 Stars
