About Full Contact:
Ray wraps his arms around me and holds me tight as if
something terrible has happened and he doesn’t want to let me go.
Full Contact. This is how Ray speaks when his emotions
overwhelm him. I melt into his stillness. His body is hot and hard, his breath
warm on my neck. He smells of leather and sweat, sex and sin. Nothing can tear me
away.
When you can’t resist the one person who could
destroy you…
Sia O’Donnell can’t help but push the limits. She secretly
attends every underground MMA fight featuring The Predator, the undisputed
champion. When he stalks his prey in the ring, Sia is mesmerized. He is
dominant and dangerous and every instinct tells her to run.
Every beautiful thing Ray “The Predator” touches he knows
he’ll eventually destroy. Soft, sweet and innocent, Sia is the light to Ray’s
darkness-and completely irresistible. From the moment he lays eyes on her, he
knows he’s going to have to put his dark past behind him to win her body and
soul.

EXCERPT:
Ray grabs my wrists and
pins them to the mat over my head, his body angled over me. My breath catches
in my throat, and I steel myself for the memories, the black rush, the
heart-pounding fear, but it doesn’t come. Instead, a red haze settles over my
vision, and I press my lips together and buck my hips, throwing him slightly
forward.
Bad plan. Now his groin
is only inches away from my face. He’s still wearing his jeans, which means
that bulge isn’t a cup.
“Ray...”
His face softens. “I
hurt you.”
“Yes, you hurt me.
Keeping secrets hurts me. It makes me feel like you don’t respect me. And it
makes me feel like I can’t trust you. So maybe you could return to your proper
seat now. Tray table up.”
He shifts down, settling
his weight over my hips, but he doesn’t release my hands. “I hurt you. Means
you care.”
I swallow hard and meet
his gaze. “You hurting me means I was being stupid. Things were going where I
didn’t want them to go. Now I’ve had a wake-up call. You have secrets you can’t
share. You need to protect your secrets. I need to be with someone I can trust,
and I need to stand on my own two feet. It’s just not going to work between
us.”
His gaze darkens,
searing me to the core. “You want to be done? Or are you scared and trying to
push me away?”
The air shifts between
us, electrifying, tightening my nipples and heating my blood. I am hyperaware
of his thighs tucked against my hips, carrying most of his weight as he sits
astride me in a dominant MMA position. My wrists, hot under his palms, press
against the cool mat, restrained in a way I could never have imagined allowing
them to be restrained. My chest rises and falls twice for every one of Ray’s
breaths, and my core tightens. The innuendo isn’t lost on me. God, yes. I want
to be done in the carnal sense of the word. But only by Ray. And I don’t really
want to let him go.
“I don’t want to lose
you.”
Ray’s hands tighten on
my wrists, and he leans down and brushes a kiss over my lips. “I don’t want to
lose you either, but I live in a dangerous world. I’ve got stuff in my life
that would make your head spin. I need to protect you from that, and I’ll do
what it takes to keep you safe, even if it means you hate me for it, because
for the first time in my life, I want something more than doing my duty. I want
a life and I want you in it. I’ve got one bad guy to catch and then I’m free.
And after I’m done and after what went down this evening, you’ll never have to
worry about being safe again.”
Finally, he releases my
hands but I don’t move. Heat sweeps through my belly. I feel both vulnerable
and curiously safe lying beneath him. My gaze shifts from his intense gaze to
his sensual lips, and my breasts swell, remembering the touch of his hands, the
gentle press of his lips. He wants me. Not just today, but tomorrow and the
tomorrow after that.
“You make it sound like
I don’t have a choice about being with you.”
“You don’t.” He leans
down and kisses me with a savage fierceness that takes my breath away.
Review:
I've been with the Redemption series from the beginning and have enjoyed all the books so far and this one was no exception. Sia and Ray's chemistry was off the charts and with the world of MMA to back it up it was an adrenaline ride from start to finish.
As always the cast of characters from Redemption keep you on your reading toes and i can't wait for the next book in the series.
Overall i give this 4.5 out of 5

BOOK BLURB:
A sexy category romance from Entangled's Brazen imprint...
Some lines are meant to be crossed...
One explosive device was all it took to turn Holt Cunningham from ass-kicking Marine to IT technician. Hell, he's still not over it. So when the cute little strawberry blonde at the bar asks him to kiss her, Holt can't resist the temptation of a sexy distraction. Before he knows it, she's blown his mind...and then skipped out the next morning.
Lydia Thomas never expected things with Holt to go quite that far, but oh, it was worth it. After being far too good for way too long, she was ready to be bad. Except that there's that tiny detail that Lydia kept to herself-Holt just spent the night doing naughty things...with his best friend's little sister.
One night isn't nearly enough. But with his friendship on the line, how far will Holt go in order to claim what's his?
