Four epilogues, Yay!
Loved this book, about lawyer Elle and MMA fighter Nico Hunter. Elle was having a friends with benefits thing with her lawyer friend William, but it wasn't working for her anymore. William brings Nico to Elle's office for a contract consult, and when their eyes meet, Cupid got his arrows in real hard for these two. Nico invited Elle to dinner which results in Elle breaking up with William and a relation starts. From the start, Nico was totally smitten and he wanted more than a one-night stand. Elle was mesmerized, aroused, enthralled. It was cute to read. I had several thoughts about Nico preying on his lawyer's girlfriend, and also some thoughts about conflict of interest between lawyer and client. But I loved where this plot was going, so didn't care.
The love story was straightforward and nice. Many steamy love scenes, which I skimmed. I got a feeling that some characters must have been introduced in an earlier book, because the book lacked some background in some characters, mainly Elle's mom's new marriage, the stepfather and her stepbrother. Even so, it was very enjoyable. Both Elle and Nico had some baggage which they needed to deal with. Nico had several moments where he closed up and closed Elle out. I liked that Elle would retreat instead of cling, and he would have to grovel as is right.
If I had to describe Nico, apart from hot, it would be as a gentle giant, because he was that devoted and attentive to Elle. I loved Elle's tardiness quirk, because for many years I was a late arrival at work too. This was an entertaining and enjoyable read, very much recommend.
