4.5 Smooches!
Synopsis
Slut. Hooker. Whore.
The taunts never bothered me. They only see what I allow them to see, and a Las Vegas stripper is the perfect cover.
My life had direction. I had a mission—until the man I needed vanished and is presumed dead.
It’s time to move on—give up the dream for revenge—and no one shows me that more than the mop-headed fighter with eyes the color of the ocean.
If anyone can teach me just how sweet life can be, it’s him. But first, I’d have to let go.
Mase. Baywatch. Mayhem.
I’m known by many names, but there’s only one that stirs panic and worry in my gut every time I’m called it.
Brother.
I’ve bailed him out of trouble for years, so when he turns up in Vegas and asks for me, I’m prepared for the worst. And the worst is exactly what I get in the form of a lilac-eyed beauty named Trix.
She’s everything I hate about Vegas: a stripper, loose with her body and her morals. But there’s something about her, a complexity that she buries deep, and I’m determined to uncover it.
The deeper I go, the less I understand. When I finally learn the truth, we engage in a battle where life and death hang in the balance.
Fighting could kill us both, but if we win, forever is the prize.
Review
I am absolutely in love with this series. JB Salsbury writes some excellent fighter books and I have been dying to get my hands on Mase’s book. I am so glad that it lived up to my expectations but it was totally not what I expected, that is for sure. I never envisioned a stripper for good boy Baywatch but holy moly it worked!
You meet “good guy” Mase in the previous books as well as promiscuous Trix (remember, she is Gia’s stripper roommate from Fighting to Forget). They seemed like the most unlikely of couples and while at the beginning of the book you get the impression that they cannot stand each other, eventually the sexual tension gets super hot and you realize that not all is at it appears.
“She’s like a Rubik’s Cube; the more I twist her around in my head, the less she makes sense.”
See Trix has secrets and there is pretty much a calculated reason for everything she does. She is a tough bad ass chick hell bent on revenge and I really ended up liking her character. I admit, in the beginning I had trouble, but the more I read and learned her, the more I liked her.
“For me, nakedness doesn’t equal vulnerability. It’s strength in its purest form, used by women since the beginning of time, and I’d be an idiot not to take advantage of it.”
OK, so this book was sexy, well written and it featured fighters so really how could you go wrong but all of that was not the best part for me. The second half of this book was just freaking banging and that is because of the mystery. The coming together of things. Mase’s and Trix’s worlds colliding in the strangest and best of ways. I was hooked and could not put it down. This book is damn good addition to this amazing series!
