| Description from Publisher: | |
Katie Capwell is a bright and accomplished recent law school graduate, and she has her shiny future all mapped out. Ryan Brincatt is a tattooed and impossibly cool martial artist, and he’s mastered a fierce roundhouse kick. Their paths never should have crossed. But on a whim, she signs up for kickboxing lessons with him. She never imagined that one decision would change absolutely everything. | |

Katie is just out of law school, and just out of what she THOUGHT was a relationship until her boyfriend started talking about how excited he was to "meet" new people. She has a mother who expects a lot from her, who may or may not be the reason she got a new job. And she has started doing something fairly out of character: kickboxing. And her trainer is sweet and sexy and keeps popping up everywhere.
The feel I got with this one was very much a New Adult book and less of a Romance. There is a lot of focus on Katie at work, with some hanging out with Ryan, the hot trainer. Her coworkers are pretty awful, and she is a bit of a spazz. Which feels a bit off, since she is supposed to have been "Top of Her Class" at law school. The vibe between Ryan and Katie was more best friends than romantic, but it is still a very sweet romance with a very slow burn. Ryan is a great character, sweet, charming, and just a genuinely nice guy. This is a fairly slow-paced story, with a lot going on. The pacing sort of killed me at various parts, my just wanting to know what exactly was going to happen, but my interest was piqued with all that was happening, keeping me wanting more. Overall, this is sweet and predictable, very much like a Young Adult Romance with adults. It's chaste and great as a palate cleanser in between books! | |
