An up-and-coming MMA fighter wants more than just one night from a woman fleeing her past in Lori’s irresistible new novel.
Heavyweight fighter Denver Lewis plays real nice, but he doesn’t share. That’s why he’s been avoiding top-notch flirt Cherry Peyton. But a man can only resist those lush curves for so long. Their encounter surpasses all his fantasies, bringing out protective urges that Cherry’s about to need more than she knows…
Denver’s combination of pure muscle and unexpected tenderness has been driving Cherry wild. Yet no sooner does she get what she’s been craving than old troubles show up on her doorstep. And this time, Cherry can’t hide behind a carefree façade. Because the man by her side is one who’ll fight like hell to keep her safe…if only she’ll trust him enough to let him…
“Holding Strong will have you holding your breath while burning fingers quickly turn the pages.”
“…a fun and sexy read. It has a touch of suspense to it as well to keep the pace of the story going along.”
“The men of Foster’s Ultimate series may be powerful fighters, but they are all heart, and none more so than the hero of this installment. His unwavering support for his feisty, frightened heroine redeems them both in time, but it is their searing chemistry that will hold readers’ attention.”
“Foster…manages to keep characters evolving throughout the course of a novel, becoming true ‘heroes’ by the time ‘The End’ rolls around.”
Review:
All is well until some people from Cherry’s past re-enter the picture. Dangerous people who want to hurt Cherry…physically and emotionally. Denver’s protective instincts are triggered and his bossiness starts to come out more often than not. This provides for some seriously sexy banter, and some even hotter make-up sex.
If you’re looking for fighting, machismo, searingly hot sex scenes (OHMYGOD THEY’RE GOOD), and some drama, you’ve found the right book. Lori tantalizes you, excites you and leaves you gasping for more with each page. I’m a sucker for a fighter book, and this one was no different. I love watching a strong man fall to his knees for a woman. Suspenseful, romantic & fun, Lori knocked me out with this one! Loved it!
