review 1: WOW! what a pleasure this one was! Though I liked the first one of Mercer and Jenna, I loved this one much more!So we have Rich Estrada a YUM of a boxer but also a rising star. After a sucessful fight he is signed off, during the after party of the fight he and Lindsey share a very passionate kiss but it ends too quickly leaving the both of them with a memory they wish they could repeat but understand they can't.Forgot who Lendsey is? Jenna's very capable assistant in the matchmaking agency placed one floor up from the club which Mercer (Jenna'ls boyfriend) runs. In the previous book we saw there is heat or at least good possibility of chemestry between the both of them but basically it was Rich being himself - flirting like hell with the girl with (or without) a skirt.Thi... mores book was such a fun read! I felt not only the chemistry between the two of them but also "my" chemistry with the book. I'm on holiday so I had the whole day to read (if I wished and I did!!) So I read this one almost without stopping.Rich is so much more than he lets everyone see and how he opens up to Lendsey is just beautiful. I loved everything that happened with Lendsey's sister Maya and how it ended up, also loved Rich' family and how close they are and how Lindsey sees them and feel about them.I felt the book had the perfect pace. Both Lindsey and Rich needed time to understand what and how they want from each other. Rich is such a MAN, a manly man, not the romantic kind but as I see it - the PERFECT kind. I'll take a Rich - a true prince - everyday, but I guess I won'lt find any loitering around.. or maybe I'm hanging in the wrong placed ;)
review 2: Lindsey has been fighting the attraction she has to Rich since she started working at Spark Matchmaking. She has a boyfriend and even though they are on again, off again she's convinced that Rich is all talk and after a one night stand. Watching him win a fight and knowing that he's leaving for bigger and better things she lets loose a bit and gives in to the attraction only for Rich to back off after receiving a text message. Lindsey is convinced that its a girl and its for the best, I mean he's leaving right? So for ten months she absorbs anything she can about MMA (mixed martial arts) and about Rich. She even orders the fights to watch. Then all the sudden he's on the way back to Boston with a broken foot. Now that the boyfriend is completely off what'll happen with Rich or will anything happen.All Rich knows is fighting. He's been doing it forever and its how he pays for things his family needs. He's the bread winner and takes on the responsibilities that his dad left behind when he committed suicide. His mom has health issues and needs a bunch of surgeries and his sister needs help with her school, along with a great deal of other things he feels like are his job to take care of. Now that his foot has put him out of commission, what is he going to do with himself. He has to stay in fighting condition so that when his foot is healed he can get back in the ring. He didn't count on Lindsey not only warming his bed but his heart. Fighting that was pointless.I don't know what about Rich made me love him so much, but I did. He's all tough and cocky, but when its just him and Lindsey, hes soft and open. He lets his walls down and he doesn't even realize it. He also doesn't realize that he's given his heart to her until its much too late. He takes care of his family, he loves them and he's so tender with his mama. There was just something, a magic he has that draws you in. I really liked that even though Lindsey knows hows its going she falls in love with him, but doesn't try to get him to stay with her. She lets him go do what he wants to do with his life. These two are just appealing. Fantastic story. Very enjoyable. less
