Summary

He scared me. He thrilled me. And after one touch, all I could think about was getting more . . . Makayla never thought she'd set foot in an elite mixed martial arts club. But if anyone needs a medic on hand, it's these guys. Then again, at her first sight of the club's owner, she's the one feeling breathless.

The man they call Torment is all sleek muscle and restrained power. Whether it's in the ring or in the bedroom, he knows exactly when a soft touch is required and when to launch a full-on assault. He always knows just how far he can push. And he's about to tempt Makayla in ways she never imagined...

Too long

The repeated back and forth drama got very boring.

The FMC got so annoying that I almost couldnt finish this. How stupid can a woman be??
In the end I hoped the MMC would choose another.

The good thing - and why it overall g’ets 3 stars was the humor for me to chuckle out loud.

Funny Kink!

Nice light hearted, humorous kinky story. lt had a more serious back story but I enjoyed the inner funny dialogue Michaela had. Great supporting characters, I really liked Dr Drake, he should get his own story.

Hilarious

I was so certain I wouldn't get past the first chapter. I was sooo wrong. Funny, Quirky Loyal and Beautiful inside out, Mikaela is the definition of a tomcon heroine, and even though I'm not a fan of the genre, she definitely had me hooked till the end.

Cheap 50 shades of gray copy

Struggled to finish, sounded like cheap copy of 50 shades of gray with random events thrown in. Woman doing man's voice, comical.
