\"22670226\"<\/a>Book Blurb:<\/h2>\n

An up-and-coming MMA fighter wants more than just one night from a woman fleeing her past in New York Times bestselling author Lori Foster’s irresistible new novel
\nHeavyweight fighter Denver Lewis plays real nice, but he doesn’t share. That’s why he’s been avoiding top-notch flirt Cherry Peyton. But a man can only resist those lush curves for so long. Their encounter surpasses all his fantasies, bringing out protective urges that Cherry’s about to need more than she knows\u2026
\nDenver’s combination of pure muscle and unexpected tenderness has been driving Cherry wild. Yet no sooner does she get what she’s been craving than old troubles show up on her doorstep. And this time, Cherry can’t hide behind a carefree facade. Because the man by her side is one who’ll fight like hell to keep her safe\u2026if only she’ll trust him enough to let him\u2026<\/p>\n

Review:<\/h2>\n

Denver has been fighting his attraction to Cherry.\u00a0 Knowing that she is friends with a lot of his friends women helps to drive him to keep away from her.\u00a0 That is until Cherry finally convinces him to grab hold to more than just watching her.\u00a0 After there steamy night together everything changes.\u00a0 Both Denver and Cherry’s feelings become more real and undeniable.\u00a0 But, before anything can happen with Denver and Cherry, Cherry’s past comes back and wants her and will stop at nothing to get to her.\u00a0 Can Denver and Cherry fight off the past and still be together?
\nThis was my very first Lori Foster book.\u00a0 Let me tell you I am a huge fan now.\u00a0 I want to go back and read book one in the Ultimate series and then keep going onto Stack’s book.\u00a0 Denver and Cherry were so awesome.\u00a0 Their characters were both relatable and realistic.\u00a0 Cherry was a great match to the alpha male, Denver.\u00a0 She was strong and resilient and you see that when her past is uncovered.\u00a0 But, in the same Denver is a strong alpha male with a heart of gold.\u00a0 These are always my favorite kinds of males to read about.\u00a0 The story itself was great with all of the side characters being just as interesting as the main characters.\u00a0 But, I think one of the best parts of this book was the seamless way that Lori Foster intertwined the love and sex between Denver and Cherry and the suspense of Cherry’s past that comes chasing her.\u00a0 Overall, this was an entertaining read that kept me wanting more and can’t wait til Stack’s book next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
