BOOK DESCRIPTION
Mixed martial arts fighter Reid Andrews’s chance to reclaim his title as light heavyweight champ is shattered when he’s injured only months before the rematch. To make sure he’s healed in time, his trainer sends him to recuperate under a professional’s care—Reid’s best friend’s little sister, all grown up.
Disorganized and bookish Lucie Miller needs some professional help of her own. She’d do anything to catch the eye of a doctor she’s crushed on for years, so when Reid offers seduction lessons in exchange for 24/7 conditioning for the biggest fight of his career, Lucie jumps at the chance.
Soon Reid finds himself in the fight of his life...winning Lucie's heart before she gives it to someone else.
This story is about an injured MMA fighter, Reid Andrews, who needs to be rehabilitated so that he can fight and win his championship title back in two months time. He enlists the help of physical therapist, Lucie Miller, who unbeknownst to him at the time is his best friend's little sister. The two make a deal where Lucie will take Reid on as a patient for two months so that he'll be ready for his fight, while Reid will train Lucie in the art of seduction so that she can win the affection of the doctor she has been lusting after. While upholding their respective ends of the bargain, the two are powerfully attracted to one another. They agree to act on their attraction for the duration of the time they will be working together and once that time is up, they each will go their separate ways. Of course, things don't quite go as planned.
Ms. Maxwell does a great job at writing the Cinderella story we all know and love in a refreshing and believable way. Lucie was written realistically as a strong, successful woman with real insecurities that most women will be able to relate to. Reid was not only sinfully sexy and very alpha, but also sensitive and compassionate. I adored him! The chemistry between Lucie and Reid was explosive and the love scenes were smoking hot! I alternately laughed and cried while reading this book and ultimately finished it with a smile on my face.
I am truly looking forward to reading the future books in this series. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a sweet, sexy and fun read. You will not be disappointed!' --FIVE STARS
