When I choose books to review, I usually look for a few things in the synopsis that reels me in. Plenty of passion, something special in the guy, and a hint of a happily ever after. I don’t discount the cover either, as that plays an important part too.
This new e-book drew me in because of the second chance love aspect. It’s always a gives an interesting twist to the story. Here are my thoughts.

After an unstable childhood, Jules Darcy is very familiar with the risks of falling in love. And as an adult, she’s never let herself forget just how high those stakes can be. That’s why she ran away a year ago after her fling with MMA fighter Nick Giannakis quickly got serious. But when she jumps at the opportunity to reconnect with her dad by accepting a job with his growing fight league, she’s stunned to learn the abs, the chiseled arms, and the rock-solid punches she has to market belong to none other than her former fling. Unable to run away from the sexy middleweight this time, Jules vows to keep things strictly professional. But one look at Nick, and her resolve starts to crumble….
The last thing Nick expects when he signs with the prestigious World Fighting Championship is that he’ll have to work with the only woman who ever broke his heart. Desperate to hide the pain she caused him, Nick vows to keep his distance from his gorgeous ex. But when he realizes their intense chemistry hasn’t faded after a year apart, he wonders if they could have a future together, even if dating the boss’s daughter could complicate his bid for the championship belt.
Under the bright lights of Las Vegas, in the world of high-stakes prize fighting, they’ll have to take a risk and decide if their love is worth fighting for.
Review of Dirty Boxing by Harper St. George and Tara Wyatt
If there’s one thing about a book that sucks me in, it is the authors ability to write with intense passion. These authors have the gift. It’s almost like you are in the room watching the scene unfold in person.
The heat is palatable.
The intense gazing is scorching.
The steaming connection is tangible.
While the story wraps around the MMA ring, the plot is actually more about the failure of the first time they met along with their intense connection. He never knew why it was doomed from the beginning.
Now we are here a year later and the heat is just as blazing. With issues that are bound to keep them apart, the authors add in some angst and drama but I am always hopeful for the HEA.
Definitely a book that covers multiple layers of life and romance. Interesting, intriguing, and enjoyable to the end, Dirty Boxing has grit with plenty of raw emotion and passion to satisfy the romance lover in you.
