Review
Foxy Rating = 3.5 - 4 stars
*ARC provided by the author in exchange for an honest review
This is the third book in the Wayward Fighters series but
can be read as a standalone. This is Spencer and Olivia's story.
I started reading this with a lot of trepidation as in the
first two books I did not like Spencer at all. He was shifty, weak and treated Liv
like a piece of dirt under his shoe. There were glimpses when she had dropped
his ass, that he was hiding a heap of hurt but being the hard heart that I am
he was going to have to work a lot to get into my affections.
This story follows Spencer with his hard slog of an uphill
battle to outwit his gambling addiction in rehab and earn back the love and respect of
the only woman he has ever wanted – Olivia. But then Olivia needed to work
through her own issues, especially with putting her trust in someone.
I liked the rawness of this storyline and it was not as
clean cut as I found the first two books (Jami and Ally’s story) I love a good
storyline where two broken people come together and become stronger as a unit.
An enjoyable sexy read. Four stars.

Synopsis
From the wrong side of the tracks...
Alyson Blake had learned early on that the only one she could depend on was herself. The only light in her life was a boy whom everyone agreed was destined for prison; but with his first kiss, he had set her soul on fire. Since the day the police dragged him away in handcuffs, she had managed to lead a quiet life, but when she attends an event fraught with mayhem, trouble resurfaces.
The one person she can’t forget...
Jamison Weston is the kind of guy dads load their shotguns for; endowed with a hot temper and a rap sheet as long as both tattooed arms. Known as “The Judge,” Jami’s hot temper, lethal fists, and cocky attitude have earned him respect and admiration both in and out of the ring. But just when he thinks he’s pummeled his past to death, Alyson Blake reenters his life.
Two paths collide…
After years of separation, Alyson is eager to reexplore the man who’s never left her thoughts, but for Jamison, she’s both the distraction he wants, but doesn’t need. As the two embark on a relationship that neither of them expected or bargained for, an outside threat closes in. When Alyson crosses the line of professionalism and takes her work home with her, her life is put in danger, leaving Jamison with no choice but to once again step in and become her protector.
