Book Blurb
Perfect for fans of Monica Murphy and Cecy Robson, Sidney Halston’s scorching new MMA romance proves there are no holds barred when it comes to seduction.
Growing up an Army brat, Violet Channing could never meet her dad’s high expectations. But in the eyes of her best friend, she could do no wrong. He even insisted that he should be her first kiss. Now Cain Sorensen is all grown up, hardened by years in special ops and always looking for a good fight. Tall, with striking blue eyes and impossibly blond hair, he’s a modern-day Viking warrior. Of course, Violet’s all grown up, too, and she’s ready to surrender to his every command.
Cain knows he’s bad for Violet. His work is dangerous, and his hobbies are downright deadly. As a private mercenary and a mixed martial arts fighter, he could never let such an innocent soul into his world. And yet his most grueling combat training is no match for Violet’s killer curves, hot touch, and suggestive glances. Now all of Cain’s most explosive fantasies are coming true—but once they cross the line between friends and lovers, there’s no turning back.

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
Violet Channing is a nurse in Tarpon Springs and hasn’t heard from her best friend Cain in four months. She doesn’t understand why he has been a jerk to her before he left. She has decided to get on with her life. She needs a date for her high school reunion and she is determined to find one. The problem is she isn’t good at dating. It has been six years since her fiancé, Jeremy, died.
When Cain comes back from his last mission, he is unsure what to do about Violet. He was feelings for her but he can never have her. She belongs to his best friend Jeremy. His guilt gets to him and he doesn’t know how to treat her. His frustration over the situation forces his involvement in an underground fighting ring. So not only is he giving Violet mixed signals, he is putting himself in dangerous situations. His friends are worried about him.
Violet is unsure what to do about him. She has known him the longest. He was one of her best friends growing up. She seems to always forgive him even when he is being a jerk. She needs Cain to help her figure out dating. In fact he is the best person to help her get over her embarrassment. Cain thinks he can keep his feelings separate. If he helps Violet find someone he will be able to move on.
I like this series. I have read most of the books so far. The cast of characters are likable. The women are strong and sassy. They are all great friends and accepting of each other. They immediately embraced Violet into their group. The men are also linked to each other through the gym and the MMA fighting they have done. They are tough but loyal and lovable. The author explored Cain’s military experiences and revealed to the reader the struggle with his guilt. I felt sorry for him. He knew what he wanted but felt it was wrong of him to feel that way.
I also felt sorry for Violet. She has lost a lot and all she really had left was Cain. Yet Cain fought his feelings and frustrated Violet. She didn’t know what to think. It was quite the emotional journey for them both. The ending was perfect. I give it a 4 out of 5.
