review 1: Can't say enough how much I love Maguire's writing style it just flows off the page. So much more depth and emotion than her contemporaries. You really get in touch with her characters thoughts and feelings. Lindsey is a strong minded woman that had never been treated like she is anyone special. Lindsey and Rich had a casual acquaintance he would flirt with her when he was in town and she really didn't know him. Rich was suave and a player so she thought, but she never really got to know him until her first official MMA fight. When she watched Rich fight for the first time she was hooked in more ways than one. Afterwards she actually sat down and talked to him and there was a connection. Rich found himself sharing things with her that no one knew and Lindsey got to kno... morew him and the chemistry was there of course. They separate for almost a year due to his fighting all over the country. When she sees him again she is a different person going all hard core MMA since he left. She is now one of his biggest fans. She feels like a teenager with a crush when she finally gets to talk to him again. When they get a little one on one time things escalate quickly and Lindsey knows that Rich has no place for her in his life. But oh how she wishes he would give her that. Rich didn't know the first thing about having a relationship with a woman they were just something he used and then he moved on and never felt a loss or connection until Lindsey. When he had to suddenly leave to train for a match it is clearly a no win situation. Lindsey is resigned that they are through and her just being another blip on his radar. She is devastated but she goes on trying to forget, unbeknownst to her Rich is having an epiphany. He realized everything that he needs and loves is back home including Lindsey. Liked the ending was wondering how it was going to come together, had me worried. Very nicely done.
review 2: I liked this one. Rich and Lindsey are both interesting, layered characters. I loved the connection that they made amidst the crushes they had on each other and I loved watching their crushes and physical attraction grow into more. The sex scenes were steamy even when it was just a kiss.I didn't however like the ending. I mean, it was...ok. It really needed more, more feeling, more pages, something more. In fact I double checked for more after I had put it down. I realize that there will be another book in this series and maybe their story will continue in future installments but I really wanted their story to feel complete in THEIR book. less
