4 Stars!!


Let me just start off by saying.....this was a long book!!! LOL... I don't think I have taken that long to finish one book in awhile!! I usually am able to finish a book withing 1-2 days, this one however, took me about 4!!! With that being said.... I do understand why it took me that long. The story was written with so much detail. The details of Haddox's life while he was growing up just broke my heart. I just can't imagine being a little child and knowing that the one person who should love and care for you, is the one person to show you so much hate and abuse. The parts in the story that gave glimpses of Haddox's childhood made me cry. Those scenes were hard to read. He went through so much while growing up in that situation; despite that, he was still able to be there to help his childhood best friend, Breanna, get through her own nightmare. I'm glad that they had each other to get through all the darkness at such a young age.

After Haddox is finally able to get himself and Breanna away from the people that hurt them, he grew up to be a professional fighter. Haddox has so much anger inside of him because of his past, so inside the ring is the one place that he can unleash the beast when he needs that release. Haddox doesn't do love. Therefore, he will never do a relationship. He sleeps with women when he wants, where he wants, and never more then once. He also doesn't have many friends. The one friend that he does have is his friend, Alyvia. I love Alyvia. Haddox and Alyvia have always been friends and over the years grew into the best of friends. She is so funny and feisty. Their relationship is more like sister and brother. He goes to her when he needs advice and she's not afraid to tell him like it is...she even gives him a slap when he needs it!! Little did he know that Alyvia would introduce him to her roommate, the one person that would change his life forever...Piper.

From the minute they meet, Haddox and Piper's chemistry is off the charts. Haddox promised Alyvia that he wouldn't sleep with Piper because she is her roommate/friend and is dealing with her own past and she doesn't need another guy to hurt her heart more than it already is. Although Haddox tries, he just can't stay away from Piper; he is drawn to her. He soon realizes that having her once, will not be enough and he wants more with her. Haddox has never wanted more from any girl, until now. Little by little, Haddox realizes that he's not the only one with a broken past. The more he finds out about Piper, the more he wants to be the man to put her broken parts back together. He knows that being with Piper gives him hope, and he doesn't want to let that go...

"Maybe it's a coincidence and I was tired of living in a world of gray, or maybe I needed my polar opposite that was just as broken and numb to help revive me, but either way I want more, Piper. I'm welcoming the beat, because for the first time I'm starting to feel alive.

I enjoyed reading about Haddox and Piper's relationship. They are both what the other needed to be complete. They do go through some rough spots along the road, but who doesn't? I loved everything about them. They were perfect for each other, and brought the best out in one another. Together they made a beautiful life. There were so many parts throughout this story that brought tears to my eyes, but there were also parts that made me smile and laugh. I really liked Haddox, Piper, and Alyvia's characters. Alyvia said some of the funniest things! I would love to have a story about her!

So...if you would like to read about an MMA fighter with an alpha male personality, you may want to pick this one up! There's nothing like alpha males with dirty mouths that take pleasure in beating someones ass!! That's just so hot!!! LOL.
