Romancing the Book
He’s a bad boy fighter covered with tattoos with a reputation for running through women like water. She’s the beloved daughter of his trainer, a good girl who knows better than to get involved with a fighter, but is drawn to him like a bee is to honey. And when they get together, it is absolutely, positively HOT (in all capital letters). Author Jenika Snow once again turns up the heat in the second installment of The Fighters of Absinthe series. Maybe it is a natural response to the storyline, but there is just something about these MMA/underground circuit fighters that kick start the engine. While the story itself isn’t incredibly long and may lack the development of a full-blown novel, the heat level is strong enough to push it into the upper review tier. The draw of the story is more about how it is told in comparison to the actual storyline itself. What sets it apart is the high intensity of the erotic element, crafted to completely captivate the reader. There’s plenty of room for additional stories in the series, particularly with the sneak peaks we get of some of the characters. I’m on board for this series and ready to see what is next.
