Rampage is the most infamous of the fighters at Redemption and his career as a MMA fighter is sky rocketing. He is a heavy weight fighter and trainer, and he is a friend to everyone even the little kids that want his autograph. But he is hiding something about himself. He came from the south, but he also is a master at a BDSM club and needs pain to get pleasure. He vows to never share his secret with anyone especially young and classy Penny. Who is innocent with a hint of wild but he knows he could never do that to her, cause her pain. Penny, on the outside seems to be a classy British gal but she has a wild side and unfortunately she ends up finding all the bad men of the crowd. Her father, past boyfriends and flings. But her heart is set on Rampage. And when delivering a notice to the club from her work, she is shocked to see her friend as a Master doing a whipping session and her mind starts thinking. Penny has a horrible past, and she needs pain to deal with the trauma. But while she explores with Jack the erotic possibilities, she wonders if she will be enough for him and what he needs....
Now this book was quite the explosive romance and can I just say how fantastically pleased I am to see Castille back at this series. I fell in love with the first three books. Now in the first three books, she introduced some bondage play but it was much lighter than this book. So I was a bit overwhelmed at times with some of the scenes of this book but boy were they scorching HOT!!! Be forewarned, who needs the heater or the fire on when you have this book in your hands. hehe Even though the heat of the book was a bit too much for me at times I still fell in love with the actual romance and the way Penny handles our boy Jack. They both hide part of themselves and Penny is strong willed and I like how she is willing to explore other possibilities so she can see where their romantic relationship can go. Its not conventional but it works for both of them.
And it changes too, I liked seeing the growth and the way these two help each other in various ways. Both characters are impressionable but Penny....she has balls of steel. Man some of the lengths she goes to in order to prove herself....yeah I couldn't do that and I was so impressed with her and her tenacity. I'll admit I wasn't sure what I thought of her in previous books but this author changed my mind.
HOT!!! I love it so very much. It might be one of my favorites of the series and from this author. Of course Sourcebooks always does a great job but I just love the cover model, I just want to pet him.
Fighting Attraction is a scorching, hot romance that leaves you fully sated.....a tale of redemption, healing and a love story you will remember!!

This is Penny. And I feel something for her--the kind of emotional connection I never thought I would feel again.
And it fucking scares me
And it changes too, I liked seeing the growth and the way these two help each other in various ways. Both characters are impressionable but Penny....she has balls of steel. Man some of the lengths she goes to in order to prove herself....yeah I couldn't do that and I was so impressed with her and her tenacity. I'll admit I wasn't sure what I thought of her in previous books but this author changed my mind.
I want you to see what I see. I want you to know that you are worth so much more than you got from the people in your life. You are strong. You are brave. You are worth loving, Penny. You are the kind of woman who deserves to have a man on his knees.
The Cover
HOT!!! I love it so very much. It might be one of my favorites of the series and from this author. Of course Sourcebooks always does a great job but I just love the cover model, I just want to pet him.

Fight With Me is a stunning addition to the Seattle series by Kristen Proby. Now this story we see glimpses of in the first book "Come Away With Me". I will admit that I wasn't sure about this one since I wasn't really in the whole drama and conflict aspects of the story but no worries I fell in love instantly.
Our heroine, Jules Montgomery, loves her job and has worked hard to get to the position that she is in. But she has one rule "DONT DATE THE BOSS" which is really difficult to do when the man in question doesn't take no especially when he knows that isn't what she really wants. Jules is independent and a fighter and having been raised by brothers, she can hold her own. But when Nate comes back for more, insisting that they take a chance even at the risk of losing their jobs, Jules doesn't want to keep fighting her attracting to Nate. While on the job, they act as indifferent towards each other as ever. But off the job, their chemistry is off the charts and they are living life having passionate sex....working out together and cooking meals in Nate's beautiful kitchen. But both Nate and Jules have enemies that want to bring them down, and if their relationship comes to light both of them could be at risk as well as what they have together....
Fight With Me was simply so FUN to read and I just had a blast with Nate and Jules. I really just loved seeing them take risks to have a chance to be together. We see even from book one hints of their feelings for each other, but in this book is where they "act" on what they feel. I was really curious to see how this relationship would be dealt because Jules is SO independent and willful at times and so dang stubborn. But Nate is determined and fights for what he wants and so patient at times. He wins her whole family over, including her older and very protective brothers, they teach each other how to truly love and they enjoy being together so much. We see it in the little ways...from cooking in the kitchen, to grappling each other in the fighter ring (which was quite interesting since our hero used to be a MMA fighter and Jules held her own) and seriously this scene made me want to go learn kickboxing and self-defense like NOW hehe Like honestly, this book made me want to go out and exercise...crazy I know....but somehow it makes you want to work out in the gym.
What I was most nervous about was the climax where we just know where this story is leading, where everyone learns the "truth" about their relationship and boy it worked me over so much but truly seeing Nate and Jules find their HEA in such a poignant and heartwarming way just weaves its way into your heart and emotions. Kristen Proby has struck again and delivered such a beautifully written romance that makes me eager for book three with the pro football player (one of those alpha male brothers of Jules I had a blast with)

This is such a well written story and I am so drawn into this series and this author has portrayed such a great family that I am so drawn into, but this is definitely not my favorite of plots that I have seen within this series. But despite that, I found the sex scenes HOT (probably the most heated out of all the books that I have read) from her. Because wow....but the story was something different. I did like seeing the background to the family and the connection that our two main protaganists have to the Five Points family. And such intrigue and mystery that is shared within this story here. I am so curious to read the latest installment of the series.

The story starts off when Findley, first comes across Maggy (in book one) when following some raiders whom they learn are just five boys whose clan was dessimated by a plague, and only their mother and some elderly members are all that is left of their clan. And they are all starving and barely surviving. Findley and his men are charmed by these brave yet foolish boys who are just trying to feed themselves and their mother and what is left of their clan. Findley leaves them with three cattle and vows to return to claim Maggy's heart. When he does return, all the elderly members are killed, and the huts are burned down with Maggy and the boys all missing. They find them in the woods and find out that Maggy's son Ian has been kidnapped so that Maggy will marry a Laird who is cruel but wants her for his wife because of a secret that she is hiding. But Maggy knows that she could never find happiness with Findley, because of who her son really is.
I had been pretty excited for this one to be honest, and this was a bit disappointing of a read for me. I hate to say it but this is one of the first books from this author that was a bit of a let down for me. This author has become a favorite when reading highlander romances, but the heroine was really a bothersome character. I really DONT like characters that are judgemental and this heroine was really like that. I understand that her late husband wasn't the best man in the world, but its like she expected every man to be bad to her. And it was obvious...even to her....that Findley wasn't like that. And Findley is such a NICE hero, and I didn't care for how she treats him continually throughout most of the story. So even though there are many other enjoyable qualities to the story, the heroine is what made the story a struggle to read and "listen" to.

Lissa Piner, is a talented glass blower and is slowly building up her reputation and has been invited to share her work in prestigious hotels and her plan is to go without any protection. She doesn't need any problems from her over protective sisters and brothers in law. And Lissa, at first thought she had finally was home free so she could put into play her real plans, but Gavriil sent his brother Casmir after her to protect her. Casmir has lived a life of hardship, having his parents murdered and taken away from all of his brothers and trained in a brutal school in Russia. He wants to do this one thing for his brothers, to protect this one fiery haired woman whom he knows is his but doesn't wish to contaminate her life with his past or that he is hunted. Lissa is out to get justice on those that killed her parents, and to stop the threat against the Prakenskii brothers who have a hit out on them. She will do anything to protect her adopted family even become the killer that her uncle trained her to be. But Lissa will learn truths about her past and Casmir will steady her and help her heal the worst of wounds. But the fight they have up ahead to destroy their greatest enemy might be their toughest challenge...
Fire Bound was such a wonderful addition to this series, and I had a blast reading this one. I have been in love with the way Feehan has written this series so far, and Fire Bound was a great story. I was able to obtain it through my library through audio, and so it took some time to get through it, but it was so fun to see the way this book unfolded. There were some heartbreaking moments, especially for Lissa and Casmir. It was quite hard to see them go through some challenges here. I really adored both of these characters together and see them fall in love. What I really admired was seeing the slow burn romance that these two build through the story. There is a element of danger from beginning to end, which makes sense considering that they are surrounded by enemies. What I adore about the these two being together, was how well they work in harmony together, especially when it comes to missions. Casmir may be overprotective at times, but he also understands her abilities and how important these missions are to her and respects that and I admired that fully. Especially considering that at the beginning he appears to be such a dominant alpha male, but as the story continues you see hidden depths to him and we see the gentle and kind side of him as well as the hard and brutal side. And another treat was seeing the last brother enter the story for a time. And boy I really liked him and it was quite fun to see him and Lissa go at it hehe
The narration was a standard job, the voice was satisfying but not one of those that really stands out. But she did a overall decent job, but she did the Russian and European accents pretty well especially with the fancy Russian words that were put in place. It was very interesting experience, because Carol Monda was a new narrator for me to listen to and I did like how she did the perfect job for creating the right moods for the story. Well Done.
I have loved all the covers in this series, but this one is a bit "bleh" to me. Nothing significant and I wish they had done a bit more with it like the other classes.
Fire Bound is a thrilling and fast paced romance which creates vivid emotion, stunning detail and sexy romance that is guaranteed to bring a smile on your face and leave you excited for book 6!!!!
