Blurb
This is not made for TV. This is the raw, brutal underground of no-holds-barred combat. Inside the cage there is nothing but me and the pain I inflict on those who dare enter. In the cage, I never have to worry about anyone but myself. Yet, when she began standing outside of the cage, everything changed. I was no longer fighting for the money or the glory – I was fighting for her.

Excerpt

When I got to the top of the stairs, I immediately saw a figure leaning against the outside of the fence and looking back and forth down the street quickly.  Each time the head turned, a long brown pony tail bobbed around, and strands of hair got caught in the chain links.  If the short-shorts and Fin’s logo on the shirt weren’t enough to go on, the gigantic, evil handbag gave her away.
“What the fuck?” I snarled through the fence.
Tria startled and looked at me, turning quickly on her heel and holding up her keys clenched in her fist.  I tilted my head to one side and raised an eyebrow at her.  What was she going to do, wave them around at me from the other side of the fence?
“I’m pretty sure that was not meant to take the place of a ride,” I said, nodding toward the keys in her hand.
“You scared the shit out of me!” Tria yelled.  She adjusted the mega-monster purse on her shoulder and ran her hand through her hair.  “The girl who was driving me got another job.  She just walked out today, and there wasn’t anyone else on my shift with a car.”
“So you’re walking down this street again?” I yelled.  I slammed my palms into the chain links, making the whole side of metal rattle.  She jumped away, stammering.
“I…I…”
I didn’t give her much chance to finish.  I was livid.
“After what happened the last time?  Seriously, Tria?”  I paced over to the edge of the building and back to the fence again.  My fingers wrapped around the links and yanked.  “You do have a fucking death wish, don’t you?”
“I do not!”
“Then why are you being so stupid?” I screamed.  I planted my feet right where they were, and my heart thumped audibly in my chest.
“I was trying to find you!” she yelled back.
“Well, why didn’t you come in the fucking bar?” I tossed my hands up into the air.  “Is there not a big ass poster right there in your face saying exactly where I am on Friday nights?”
“I tried,” Tria said with a glare.  “The bouncer wouldn’t let me in.”
“Why not?”
“I’m only twenty,” she said with a shrug.
There was something about that news that flipped a switch in my head.  I knew she looked young, but I didn’t realize how young.  The idea that she was out here on her own, trying to make a go in this place without even being old enough to get into a bar killed my anger and made me feel something a little odd as well.  Respect?  Maybe even pride?
Whatever it was, it also hardened my dick.

4 Star Review:

This is the first book that I have read from Shay Savage and it was different but intriguing at the same time. The characters were different and this is not the typical MMA book that I am used to.

Tria and Liam were different. Both of them grew up differently and from different sides of the world. Liam was an all american. He thrived in school but his life became so what difficult with choices he made. He ventured out to become the person that he wanted to be after his life became unbearable.

Tria lived in a podunk place and it was kind of weird. Her life was not the way you would think but she left to better herself. She is now in college and has left that life behind. She's feisty when she needs to be but also a little naive in areas that most would know,

when push comes to shove Liam is there to protect her but his feelings for her are more than even he is aware. His natural instinct to protect is there but it's so much more. Tria seems to bring something out in him that has bene missing for a long time!!

When they go back to Tria's neck of the woods, Liam is really able to see things that he would not dream of but I think he really will have to fight for Tria. I'm anxious to see what will happen in the next story!!
