Fighting Solitude (On the Ropes Book Three) Release Blitz




Blurb

**Special Pre-order Pricing!**
I was born a fighter. Abandoned by my parents, I spent my life forging my own path—one guided by my fists and paved with pain.
Untouchable in the ring, I destroyed everyone who faced me, but that’s where my victories ended. Outside the ropes, I repeatedly failed the few people who loved me. Including my best friend, Liv James—the one person I’d die to protect.
Even though I didn’t deserve her, Liv never stopped believing in me. Never gave up. Never let go. After all, she understood what I’d lost, because she’d lost it too.
Liv was everything to me, but she was never truly mine.
That was going to change.
I lost my first love, but I refused to lose my soulmate.
Now, I’m on the ropes during the toughest battles of my life.
Fighting to be the man she deserves.
Fighting the solitude of our pasts.
Fighting for her.

My Review of Rough & Tumble: A Steamy Sports Short

Rough & Tumble: A Steamy Sports ShortRough & Tumble: A Steamy Sports Short by Kristen Hope Mazzola
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a quick, fun, romantic read; it is very fast paced. Peyton and Bo dated in high school and in college but like most young romances their dreams took them in different directions. Now years later they are being brought back into each other’s lives again. Peyton got her dream job right out of college; she is going to be photographing a NFL football team. That just happens to be the team Bo is on. She has no idea how it is going to feel seeing him again after all this time. Then while celebrating her new job with a night out she is finds herself reuniting with Bo sooner than she thought she would. How will things go? Bo is supposed to be engaged to a model. Will Bo and Peyton get a second chance together or can they only be friends? This book is very fast paced. Bo and Peyton seem to fall right back together as if no time had ever passed. I would love to read a full length book about them. Peyton’s friend Brittainy is a great character and I would love to read more about her as well. I love the shorts Kristen writes but I am itching for another full length one from her. Another great job Kristen.
I was given this book in return for an honest review.

My Review

This is the second book in this series and you need to read them in order to fully understand what is happening.  This book picks up shortly after the first one ends.  Dawson knows the cartel could make its move any time and has been planning for when they do.  And just like that they do strike but not with a physical attack but an end run.  Trixie’s day care gets shut down, they plant drugs and the strip joint, and Stitches gets attacked in jail.  While this isn’t the way Dawson thought they would attack he has a plan and sets it in motion.  He has Chase kidnap the cartel head’s daughter, Cat.  But things aren’t as Dawson thinks they are.  Then Dawson gets another idea that maybe things will be easier if Cat is involved with one of the Slayers and who better than Chase.  Chase has Cat hidden away in a cabin in woods things don’t go smoothly at first but after a bit he learns more about her and ways the club along with Cat can work things out.  Will Cat and Chase become more than captor and captive?  Will the Club be able to stand up against the Cartel or will they lose everything?  It was fun getting to read about the club again.  Dawson and Angel aren’t the main focus of this book but you do get to read more about them.  Stitches and Baby play a larger role in this book as well.  The main focus is Cat and Chase and while they don’t come together till further in the book they have a lot in common.  Cat knows nothing about who took her and why.  She underestimates Chase as well; she assumes he isn’t as smart as he is just because he is a biker.  I can’t wait for the next book in this series to come out.  I am excited to see who the focus of the next book is.  The book ends of a happy kind of cliff hanger that makes you want the next book now.  Tara Oakes is a great author.  She writes books that pull you in to the story.  I was hooked from the first page.  I look forward to reading more books by Tara in the future.
