I love a good MMA fighter story. The awesome cover was what attracted me to the story at first. Thankfully, the story lived up to the cover. It stays off with Jade. She has made some poor decisions in the past resulting in a loser ex and some undeserved prison time. As a result, her job prospects are non-existent, and her legal and other bills are pulling up. She borrows some money from a friend and uses her education in psychology tho open her own business...a cuddling service. No, you didn't hear me wrong. I did say a cuddling service, affection for those who lack it in their daily lives. No sex allowed. Yes, I agree, it's a strange notion, but just go with it.
Ryland is a famous MMA fighter and a client of Jade's. He wants her ask to himself and offers her an exclusive contract. Jade resists at first, but quickly changes her mind after a run in with a dangerous motorcycle club leaves her in need of money and a place to hide. Ryland senses something is wrong but let's her keep her secrets...for a while. The more time the two spend together, the more Jade risks breaking her rules and falling for Ryland. She also fears how he will react when he knows all her secrets. She would give everything to protect him from the fallout of her life, and end the end, she may very well have to.
I love, love, love this story. Ryland was super sexy with his alpha tendencies, gentle touches, and MMA bedroom moves. Jade was everything Ryland needed. She was a cuddler and a talker, and Ryland was a man of action with little time to even speak compete sentences. They amused me and made me smile. The suspenseful subplots also kept things moving quickly and the excitement building. It was a great read.
