~ Book Synopsis ~

WORK OUT

No sex for almost a year could kill a guy, but when you’re the boxer known as the Juggernaut, it’s the price you pay for turning pro. Tommy’s fully dedicated to his craft, until he meets the incredibly gorgeous Dr. Siena Carr. Now he’s looking forward to taking on this prim and proper lady in a wet and wild workout…

KNOCK OUT

Siena has seen many patients come through the ER, but none as sexy as Tommy Raines. With a nasty cut over his eye, she knows he needs stitches, but after he takes off his shirt, she needs some air. With rock-hard abs and taut biceps, it’s clear this man takes care of his body. And all Siena can think about is letting him take care of hers…

Promising…

Dr Siena Carr is used to the finer things in life. Growing up in a privileged background she is well-traveled and used to high-end clothes, cars and boyfriends. She left the East Coast to get away from her family’s expectations so she found herself surprised when she was called a snob. She just broke up with her boyfriend, a doctor at the same hospital where she worked in the Emergency department, and meeting Tommy Raines had all her tingly bits jumping in attention.

Nicknamed Juggernaut for his intense boxing style, Tommy was an Olympic medalist boxer working diligently for his first professional title. Meeting Siena had him eagerly looking forward to ending his self-imposed celibacy despite the clear differences between them – a slight age gap and a much bigger divide in background and tastes. Could the two find enough common ground to make a go of their relationship?

I really enjoyed the writing style of this debut author as the dialogue was crisp and clear and kept the story moving at a steady pace. Tommy was incredibly mature for his age as he pursued his goals with startling clarity for one in his early twenties. I struggled to warm up to Siena. Tommy kept telling her she was a snob and I had to agree. This made me question again and again why he would want to be with her as they struggled with these obvious differences. She did love his dog though and taking antihistamines is a sign of love, isn’t it? I would definitely read this author again and look forward to more.
