Paperback purchased by myselfRelease Date: 28th September 2014
Description:
*Don’t read this book if you don’t like snarky, dominant, tattooed men who say things like “Open your mouth, and I will,” after you tell them to shove it. And don’t read this book if you don’t like sassy, strong-willed, fiercely independent heroines who use phrases like “bossy asshole” as a term of endearment. You have been warned.*
“Tattooed package of sin.”
That’s how Savannah Ryan would describe her new boss, Declan Whitmore, the deliciously tatted and pierced fighter who holds the top spot in Boston’s newest underground fighting organization. She’d also describe him as bossy, arrogant, and—depending on what he does to piss her off that particular day—an asshole.
It’s that aloof attitude, along with Savannah’s witty comebacks and tight little body that land her on his radar. Unfortunately for her, Declan is relentless when he sets his sights on someone, both in and out of the ring. Unfortunately for him, this recently reformed bad girl is trying to go straight after heading down a dangerous path. She’s not going to make this easy for him. In fact, she’s going to make it—and him—very, very hard.
Declan’s not worried, though. He’ll have Savannah come hell or high water, because if there’s one word he’d use to describe her, it’s “MINE.”*Don’t read this book if you don’t like snarky, dominant, tattooed men who say things like “Open your mouth, and I will,” after you tell them to shove it.

My Opinion
This book surprised me. I thought from the description that Declan was going to be much more of an ass, but I found him easy to love and connect with. It also surprised me with how little fighting there was in it, and that it was focused around the characters mostly.
I will admit I had a hard time putting this book down. It was written well, had a fast-pace, and an engaging plot. I liked that the characters were cocky and not afraid to mess with each other. The banter between Savannah and Declan was great and made me smile on numerous occasions. Similarly, I thought this side of things was balanced well with the emotional drama and baggage. Although what happened to Savannah was predictable, I thought the author did a good job of keeping things interesting right up until the end.
The reason I can't rate this book a five though is because there are a lot of plot strands and I think a few too many were forgotten during the book. I know this is book one in a series, but when I checked out book 2 it said it was Blake's story. That really disappointed me because I felt a lot wasn't tied up in this book, especially Declan's issues. They seemed to become non-existent. If book 2 continued their story I would have rate this a 5, but I can't see how it can end satisfyingly when the next book will be about different characters. I wanted to see Declan work through his issues and I don't know if I will.
Anyway, despite that this was a really enjoyable read. Despite my reservations, I will definitely be wanting to read the next book, and would strongly recommend this if you like fighter romances and alpha males.
