Review<\/b><\/h4>\n

3.5 \u201cBmine\u201d stars!<\/p>\n

Blaire is in college getting a communications degree to appease her parents but she hates it.\u00a0She gets assigned a journalism project about MMA and after doing some research, she is just as uninterested as before.\u00a0The first time she meets Ty he rubs her the wrong way. Then when she has to interact with him again, she is thrown off kilter and doesn’t know what to make of him. Ty is\u00a0a bad boy that is gorgeous, strong, and demanding.\u00a0He’s also a\u00a0fighter at The Grind, the XWL gym she is visiting to gather the info needed for her assignment. When she goes to interview Ty, he giver her an ultimatum – a\u00a0date in exchange for\u00a0an interview. When she agrees to the date, little does she know the affect it would have on her life.<\/p>\n

I really enjoyed Blaire and Ty\u2019s story. It\u2019s funny and swoony with a little bit of angst and steam. I thought the storyline was well developed and the characters were entertaining. Blaire is smart, sexy, and feisty. She has a super model twin sister named Izzy, and though Ty will disagree, Blaire thinks she got the short end of the stick. She is sassy and her unique and quirky personality makes her likable and even relatable. I loved getting into her head and all the funny thoughts she had while trying to figure out her emotions.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m so out of my depth here. The sport, the blood, the men\u2026the Ty…
\n<\/i>It looks like Brain and Hormones are in for a fight. Just as long as Heart stays out of the ring.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ty is a total alpha who he shows his sweet side to Blaire. He is different with her than with anyone else and isn\u2019t interested in a\u00a0one-night stand he usually goes for. I loved that he was committed from the moment they met and that he was persistent even when she tried to deny\u00a0her feelings. He\u00a0is also straight to the point and says what he wants, especially when it comes to Blair.<\/p>\n

\u201cI crave you. I want all of you, every single inch of you. And call it only-child syndrome, but I. DO. NOT. FUCKING. SHARE.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Blaire and Ty are total opposites but they are really good together. The banter is great and the chemistry is electric.\u00a0The sexual tension surrounds them, building\u00a0until they can’t avoid it any longer. I liked that they are open with each other about what they want and accepting of each other when they finally go all in.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat are you doing to me, Blaire?…\u201d
\n<\/i>\u201cI\u2019m not sure, but you did it first to me.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Things are going well until huge secrets are revealed that ruin everything. Pain and heartache follows and it was hard to swallow the truth. I understand the reactions to the whole situation but I felt that the way Blaire handled things was more dramatic than necessary. I totally take Ty\u2019s side in this instance even though it was his secret to begin with. I also think it all wrapped up a little too easily too and I wanted to see them really discuss everything that happened after the\u00a0blow up.<\/p>\n

Overall, I enjoyed\u00a0this fighter romance\u00a0and can\u2019t wait to read more from L.J. Shen!<\/p>\n
