Ross Ward is bound by the chains of his past he never could seem to shake, leaving him living in darkness, detached from the world around him, and an obsessive workaholic with really only one rule: mind your own business.

Until one night, there was Adalind Hollis - scared, confused, in need of help. And for the first time, he couldn't convince himself to walk away, to mind his own business. Even after she was getting the care she needed, he couldn't seem to make himself stay away. But keeping her close meant he would eventually have to let her in, would have to offer over the horrors of his past, and hope she could accept it.

But even if she would embrace his past, could she accept his plan to exact brutal, bloody vengeance against the man who hurt her?

Contains mature themes.

I am a long time JG reader and I really loved this story. JG has the ability to create this lovable characters with very different and well developed back stories. I enjoy how strong her female characters are. Her male characters are so loving and caring of their women, not perfect but they always have that "protect my woman" thing that I can't get enough of. Ward a man with a really difficult past and Adelind with her sweet amd trusting personality make such a great couple. I just love how she does a nice and long epilogue (something not many writers do. BTW THANK YOU JG). Both narrators did a great job.

Such a great story!

Great narration both FMC and MMC. I would consider this a sweet with a bit of dark. If you like dark romance, this isn't for you. - it will fall flat. The conflict isn't prolonged or particularly unique but it's just enough to be entertaining. This is really a common tale of a man with a dark history finding a woman to be his light and future. I do like the multiple epilogues that let us see into the future. :)

Good read

I am a huge Jessica Gadziala fan. I have eye read most of her books and am very excited that we are now getting some audiobooks too. Below is my GR review. The audiobook was narrated very well and highly recommended.

As this was my first read by this author, I had no idea what to expect but saw the fighter on the cover and knew I would give it a go.
Ross Ward is definitely an anti-hero. He is very rough around the edges to put it mildly. When he finds a woman knocked unconscious behind the dumpster of his fight club, everything changes. Adalind is rather naive but certainly not weak. She just isn't too sure about getting involved with a criminal.
I really enjoyed this novel. The author has an easy flowing writing style, the characters are engaging, and the plot moved along at a good pace. There were several side characters mentioned making me want to read other books to learn more about them. This novel does stand alone, as I said it was my first read by this author and I wasn't lost at all.

Excellent!

I love Jessica’s books (also just finally learned how to pronounce her last name haha). This love story tugged at my heartstrings. The mentions of my favorite Navesink banks character was also a nice addition.

Another beautiful story!

I loved this book. At first, I had a little trouble accepting the goodness that seemed to exude from Addie, but she grew on me. I did not love the narration. The male narration was fine, but I felt the female had so many opportunities to make it more engaging...and each one passed by. I will admit to spacing out when she was reading; she was a bit dull. Other than that, I highly recommend, and haven't read a Jessica Gadziala book I haven't loved!

Great story!
