Description
“You have to go. I won’t be able to control myself. I’ve wanted you so bad for so long and after I’ve been in the cage…I can’t think straight.” He gives a guttural groan and his fist clenches on my hip.
Primitive. Primal. His need speaks to me. I tighten my grip on his neck and rock up to kiss him. He takes over. His kiss is hard and demanding.
“Mine.” His voice is raw, savage and for a moment I truly believe he may lose control.
He rules in the ring...
Two years ago, Jake and Amanda were going hot and heavy. But when Jake wanted more, Amanda walked away. Jake immersed himself in mixed martial arts, living life on the edge. But that didn’t dull the pain of Amanda’s rejection—until a chance encounter throws them together. A high-powered lawyer, Amanda was a no-strings-attached kind of girl. But two years after her breakup with Jake, she still hasn’t found anyone who gets her heart pumping the way he did. And then he shows up in her boardroom, hot as sin and needing help...

But can he rule her heart?
Jake is darker, sexier, and impossible to resist. As their chemistry builds, Amanda’s not sure if she can stay in control, or if she’s finally willing to let him claim her body and soul.

My Thoughts:This book was just Ok for me. Maybe because I have a good friend that is a professional fighter and know some of her friends as well. Some of the scenes seemed a little over the top in portrayal, but some may be alright with that.
In fairness, I did not read book 1, which I do think may have been crucial to this sequel. But from what I can tell, poor Jake got a bum deal in book one and I'm not certain I'd have even bothered with trying to deal with anything relationship wise with Amanda.
However, Jake is a great Alpha male character.
My Rating: 2/5
