Sean (Right-Hook) Reilly knows a few things about himself. One, he's the middle-weight boxing champion of the world with an undefeated record. Two, women find his cocky persona, chiseled biceps, and inked body sexy. Also, the fact that it's known that he doesn't do relationships only adds to his sex appeal. And three, he's Irish, proud of it, and a member of the Braithreachas Don Saol, a branch of the Irish mafia and king pins of the drug cartel taking over the streets of Cleveland. Connor Doyle(aka Connie) the boss and leader of the Braithreachas Don Saol, has been like a father to Sean, taking him under his wing and teaching him how to survive on the streets after the death of his parents. Sean has never been ungrateful, but has always wanted one thing... More. More to live for. More to fight for. More to believe in. A chance at a future without drugs or guns. A chance at a future without wondering which day will be his last. There's only one problem with that. You live by the braithreachas. You die by the braithreachas. And Sean knows whether Connie considers him to be family or not, the only way he'll be leaving the braithreachas is in a body bag. Hadlee Flax has had a year to overcome her issues. After almost being raped and brutalized, she's putting her best foot forward, seeing a therapist, and has even(with some persuasion from her best friend, Lara) enrolled in self defense classes. And she's doing well moving on with her life until she meets the dark, and conflicted Irish boxing champion of the world, Sean Reilly. Hadlee is immediately drawn to the gorgeous, cold, and mysterious man who speaks with a slight Irish brogue. She soon learns that there is much more to him than his darkened gaze, cool demeanor, and body covered in tattoos. He's not the type of man she thought he was. And Hadlee finds herself doing something she never thought she would do in the last year... Falling for a guy. Falling for Sean Reilly. A man who is on the path to becoming a boxing legend. One thing Hadlee doesn't know is the other part of Seans' life. His life of drug running, and killing. Or the fact that when he's not boxing he's walking the streets with a gat tucked into the back of his loose jeans, and glancing over his shoulder at every turn. But it doesn't take Hadlee long to learn that some attractions and relationships can be fatal. And sometimes... They just might be worth fighting for.

O livro é bem escrito, com uma trama bem elaborada. E amei a leitura... Mas imagine a minha decepção ao terminar e descobrir que a autora escreveu a continuação com um mega atraso e somente 58 paginas. E pra completar disse em sua pagina do face que não sabe se vai publicar o último. Isso é o maior descaso com seus leitores. O primeiro livro termina com um monte de interrogações, o segundo não acrescenta nada e ela não vai terminar ou publicar o último, é muita falta de consideração com quem leu e ficou esperando por um desfecho. Posso entender que a escrita é um processo criativo e o autor ter um bloqueio, mas não compro essa desculpa nesse caso. Porque a autora escreveu e publicou outros livros de outras séries. Enfim, mesmo que fosse para escrever um livro com 10 paginas com soluções mágicas, ela deveria dar um final para quem começou a ler a história e ficou esperando um final. Essa autora pode até ganhar o "pulitzer" que mesmo assim não leio mais nada de sua autoria. E fica minha dica " deveria ser possível dar "- estrela" Essa ganharia "5 -" pela falta de compromisso com os leitores.
