"Emotional romance where fighting and learning to trust matter the most"

Sia O'Donnell loves being a tattoo artist and watching
secret underground MMA matches. Those matches are where
she
goes to find The Predator, aka Ray, a haunted and fierce
fighter. When the two finally talk, sparks ignite. As both
of them push each other from their comfort zones and fight
against pasts whose ghosts are still present, they will
have
to learn to trust each other if they want to be together.
FULL CONTACT is an emotional thrill ride of a romance from
the beginning. Sia is a great protagonist, both full of
depth and full of room to develop. Ray complements her
with
his own dynamic characterization, and the heat between the
two of them is enough to sear the pages. Many of the
secondary characters are nicely fleshed out as well with
some returning from previous Sarah Castille works.
As much as I enjoyed the characters, the dialogue feels a
bit unnatural in areas. The twist towards the end with Sia
and Ray also feels a little out of place and random. Their
story arc flows so well beforehand that one of their last
surprises doesn't seem to fit. However, the ending does
wrap
up many of the burning questions going on during the story
and leaves a few hints of potential characters who might
get
their own story soon.
All in all, FULL CONTACT is a highly enjoyable romance
with
deep characters and sexual chemistry that will have
readers
quickly turning the pages. Though there were parts I
didn't
love, I would definitely still recommend this for romance
readers looking for a book with edge. I can't wait to see
what Sarah Castille writes next.
SUMMARY
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.
