The moment Fay sees her best friend’s brother, Blaze, at an illegal fight, she’s screwed. As soon as he spots her, she tries to escape, but he captures her. He’s so angry to find her there, and when the cops show up, he has no choice but to hide with her.

\n

Blaze has wanted Fay for a long time, and he’s manipulated and worked to get her exactly where he wants her. Now that she realizes what he's capable of, there is no holding back.

\n

She’s had a silly school girl’s crush on him, but she could never act on it. He has other ideas, and he won’t take no for an answer when this fire smolders between them.

\n

He keeps so many secrets, and neither knows what will happen when they tell her best friend.

\n

What has he done to get her to this point where he can keep her?

\n

 

\n

Excerpt:

\n

No one deserved her. Not even him.

\n

Those plump lips called to him. They would look so good wrapped around his dick, but for now, they were going to work on his lips.

\n

He couldn’t resist. He knew he should, but then, he slammed his lips down on hers, moving his hands so one gripped the back of her neck, holding her still, and the other cupped her ass. So fucking juicy.

\n

Exactly what he wanted.

\n

Fay called herself chubby and fat. He’d heard the words spilling from her lips, but to him, she was utter perfection.

\n

Beautiful.

\n

All his.

\n

He wanted her so fucking badly.

\n

Pre-cum leaked out of the tip of his cock, and he had this overwhelming need to take her, right now, against the wall. To stake his claim on her. He wanted her so badly.

\n

Denying himself hadn’t helped. Distance hadn’t made him forget about her.

\n

She opened her lips, and he couldn’t resist plunging inside, making love to her mouth. All of a sudden, he heard the alarm.

\n

The fight had been busted. The alarm was to alert everyone that the cops were coming.

\n

Fuck. Shit. Bad fucking timing.

\n

He was pissed off.

\n

Breaking from the kiss, he grabbed Fay’s hand and moved toward the back of the shower stall.

\n

“Everywhere is locked,” she said, sounding a little breathless, and it turned him on. He’d caused that. Fay was all his.

\n

Did she even realize what she’d done tonight? What she had caused? By coming here, her single days were now over. There was no one else for her to date. She now belonged to him.

\n

There was only so much restraint he could show, and it had been used up.

\n

Getting to the exit in the changing rooms, he kicked the bottom and hit the bar, which moved.

\n

Gus, the man running this operation, always showed him the exit route. It was what he’d demanded from the moment he started fighting.

\n

With Fay at his side, he didn’t let go of her hand. He took off, going to the site where Gus was already waiting, holding out a brown envelope. Neither of them spoke as Blaze took his money, nodded at him, and ran off.

\n

Talking was overrated, and the cops would keep on coming until they thought they found their culprit.

\n

Blaze ran down the street, heading toward his car. He never parked close to the fight.

\n

Fay kept up with him, and he smiled. His woman loved wearing boots as opposed to heels. It was a good thing because he wouldn’t have been able to cope with her body in heels.

\n

After getting into the car, he grabbed his shirt from the backseat. He never left anything to chance. He only ever arrived with himself, exactly how he intended to walk out of the ring.

\n

He slid it on, but then jerked his chair back.

\n

“Get on,” he said.

\n

“What? Why aren’t you driving away?” She panted a little.

\n

“If I drive away, the cops will get my license plate, and they’ll come sniffing around. If it looks like I’m making out with my girlfriend, then there’s nothing to it.”

\n

“What? You want me to—”

\n

“Straddle my fucking dick, Fay, now!” He snapped the last part out, and she didn’t argue with him.

All of a sudden everything that she has thought she knew is wrong and the man she thought hated her wants nothing more than to claim her as his.

Sometimes they are submissive, and usually they resist the male MC at first. In this book, Fay is the best friend of Blaire, Blaze's younger sister and she is pretty sure he hates her. Blaze has acted growly toward her since day one but has actually been protecting her from afar that whole time. When she shows up at one of his fights, he decides it's been long enough and she's his. And cue the dominant, you're mine, toss over the shoulder scenes. It was all fairly cheesy and a whole lot of fun to read. Blaze is involved in illegal boxing and kind of a shady character, but very protective of his girl and his little sister. There is some action in the book that makes it a just that much more fun to read, and I found myself really enjoying Blaire as a side character- hopefully she gets her own book! The end of this included a chapter of a little Bratva number that I am also going to have to check out!

And the male character is what you expect when you think of words like alpha male and possessive. I enjoyed how the storyline opened up into the thick of it. There was no tip toeing around, the author knew what she needed to do and she went all out. I really liked the main female characters, she was one of those female characters you couldn't help but love and also feel was totally relatable and realistic. The storyline was fast paced and even though this was the case it didn't feel rushed, it just helped to show how determined the male was when it came to getting his female. The main characters were opposites of each other and complemented each other so well. I loved how the male had the dominant role, where he was happy to do what it took to take care of her without her really knowing about it (he does come clean in the end and it's dealt with correctly) and also take care of his sister (the females best friend). I loved the fighting element, it gave it a more raw and gritty feel and in doing so it made the little bit of drama at the end feel more natural to the storyline.

Her date brought her to an illegal fight where she sees her crush and best friends' older brother, Blaze fighting. Blaze sees her and Fay realizes she needs to leave, but Blaze intercepts her. This leads to a hot steamy scene between them, one of many. Blaze has decided he's done being in the background of Fay's life and he's ready to claim her as his and have her be his. Fay is reluctant and is having difficulty believing he really wants her; she has seen the type of women he has been with in the past and thinks she's not as good looking. Then there's the issue of Blaze being the older brother of Fay's best friend. This book has some violence, he's a street fighter or cage fighter or whatever it's called. Despite being this total macho alpha, he will do anything to convince Fay to be his and that he is serious about them being together. As I mentioned there are hot steamy scenes between the two of them, it's worth mentioning twice, they're that hot. This is a quick read and not a cliffhanger and no cheating. I enjoyed the writer's ability to hook me right away, there was action and the story just jumped right in. Will they end up together? Will his sister/her BFF be ok with the relationship?

I liked his over the top attitude towards her. I felt that the author’s opening scene was strife with chemistry, intrigue and anticipation. It set the tone for the book.

He had caring and patient and thoughtful down pat. Fay sure blossomed from his support and I enjoyed following their romance. Expect some drama and action to keep things hopping in this one-sit read ;D ","date":"6th Aug 2022"},{"name":"Jane H","rating":"4","title":"Fabulous","text":"Blaze and Fay, great story. These two have liked each other for years. They ‘bump’ into each other at a fight and their romances goes from nothing to 10 very quickly. Rather different from Sam’s other books, in that Blaze is open about his feelings from the beginning of their romance, they are both hard working (not rich) class. Sexy, romantic, highly enjoyable read","date":"6th Aug 2022"},{"name":"Amber J","rating":"5","title":"Taken by the Rebel","text":"Faye is on yet another bad date when she sees Blaze fighting.

When he sees her with another man that's all it takes for him to go after to her. Will Faye give in to Blaze?\r\n\r\nThis is an amazing story that once I started it I couldn't put it down. This is a well written and very entertaining story. This is a book that any book lover would enjoy.","date":"6th Aug 2022"},{"name":"sasha213sw","rating":"4","title":"Fay and Blaze","text":"This was an enjoyable read. Fay has been crushing on her best friends brother for years. What she didn't know is that he was just as obsessed with her. Plenty of heat and dirty talk with these two. I think we get a good hero, a shy heroine but honestly it's Blaze's sister that stole the show for me. She was hilarious and adorable. Good story.

This is a good story which had undeniable chemistry, friendships, family, secrets, and love, and is a steamy page turner. I look forward to reading more from this author.\r\nI received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.","date":"6th Aug 2022"},{"name":"Amber Keehn","rating":"5","title":"Short, a touch of suspense and a lot a steam","text":"Sam Crescent knows how to write two very distinct characters - over the top, morally grey (some more than others) alpha males and vulnerable, sweet females. Sometimes they are submissive, and usually they resist the male MC at first. In this book, Fay is the best friend of Blaire, Blaze's younger sister and she is pretty sure he hates her. Blaze has acted growly toward her since day one but has actually been protecting her from afar that whole time. When she shows up at one of his fights, he decides it's been long enough and she's his. And cue the dominant, you're mine, toss over the shoulder scenes. It was all fairly cheesy and a whole lot of fun to read. Blaze is involved in illegal boxing and kind of a shady character, but very protective of his girl and his little sister. There is some action in the book that makes it a just that much more fun to read, and I found myself really enjoying Blaire as a side character- hopefully she gets her own book! The end of this included a chapter of a little Bratva number that I am also going to have to check out! Overall, a solid and enjoyable experience!","date":"6th Aug 2022"},{"name":"Cariad Books","rating":"4","title":"Great read","text":"Another great read by the author i loved the characters they are outstanding.

It was a fun, easy read, and the enemies to lovers dynamic was on point. I was expecting a bit more spice considering the cover, but it was still a good read, and one I'd recommend","date":"18th Jul 2022"},{"name":"Pat","rating":"4","title":"4 stars","text":"This book is fast-paced and starts off with Blaze seeing Faye his sister’s best and one of his fights, his underground fights. Her so-called date took her to this and then bailed on her. She knew she was in trouble when she saw Blaze but he had already seen her and then after his fight went to her. When the cops came, he took her out of there with him. This is when it gets tricky because he decides to act on the crush or as he has had for her years, this throws her for a loop and takes her a while to wrap her head around it because she always felt he disliked her.\r\nAs you get further into the story there is more violence and more of Blaze wanting to be with Faye and by the time you get to the end author has made everything work. I found this to be a good and fast story.","date":"13th Jul 2022"},{"name":"Michelle Clay","rating":"4","title":"4 stars","text":"This was a much sweeter read than I’m used to from this author.

I was not disappointed, I liked the book because I expected instant love, a possessive and bossy alpha male and a clumsy and inexperienced girl. Fay has a crush on Blaze but she also knows he is off-limits. Blaze, also. had a crush on her, he has done things without her knowing to keep her close to him. When he sees her at the club after his fight, he decides that it is finally time to let her know that she is his and no one else's.\r\nIt was hot, steamy, dirty talking, and full of emotional story and I enjoyed it\r\n\r\n.I received a free copy of this book via Evernight and am voluntarily leaving a review.,\r\n\r\nLinks:","date":"21st Jun 2022"},{"name":"Megan","rating":"5","title":"5 stars","text":"This book is so good\r\n\r\nI always like the girl liking her best friends older brother plot line.
