My Thoughts
I really couldn't wait to read Kate's story. There was a peek at her in Adam and Ellie's story in Incite. She has been in love with Dax for as long as she can remember. They have grown up together along with the rest of their crowd, but he barely noticed her. Then he more than noticed her, but he comes with complications. Not only the baggage he carries from his daddy training him to be a fighting machine, but also now that he is a rock star there are all the slags hanging around. Dax wants her, but he can't see that he would be good for her and they are better together. When he finally gives in to their attraction - holy hotness. They are super steamy together. I really enjoyed their story.
I give Strike 4 hearts!
About the Book
Dax Davies has one job to fulfill in the Davies household.
Earn money at the family business. The problem is that the family business was
illegal underground fighting.
From a young age, Dax and his brothers are groomed to become
money earners in their father's club. Broken bones and bruises are commonplace.
Their father pits the brothers against each other to 'toughen them up' for the
ring, using his rules to bend his sons to his will. His future is in the cage,
not on stage where he dreams of making music.
Kate Campbell loves one thing in life. Well, two. Soccer and
Dax Davies. Growing up in the poorest part of London, soccer is her personal
escape from reality and from the fact that Dax doesn't seem to know she exists.
She figures if she can be good enough at soccer, maybe she can get away from
Hackney, and leave the poverty behind.
Kate doesn't plan on ever getting to know Dax as more than a
passing acquaintance. In fact, she isn't meant to go with her friend to Dax's
father's business, but that one night changes everything.

Excerpt
Dax and Kate's 1st kiss
Kate's POV
Before I can blink, Dax’s huge, calloused hands are framing
my face and his mouth brushes across mine. At first it’s just a whisper, a
tease, the contact barely there. Then, I hear him inhale sharply and his lips
press down forcefully, melding with mine, urging me to open up with quick
flicks of his tongue. I melt against his solid body as he dominates the kiss,
completely under his spell to do with as he wishes. It seems to go on and on—a
small slice of paradise in this blighted spot of East London.
When he finally pulls back, greedily stealing a few more
nips at my mouth, he closes his eyes and moans. “I knew you’d taste like
heaven. You’re an angel, I just knew it.” His voice is so quiet I wonder if he
meant to say it out loud.
Naturally, I stand there like an idiot, saying nothing…
doing nothing. I’ve been kissed into complete stupidity.
Dax swipes the pad of his thumb over my damp lips. “See you
at school tomorrow.” Without giving me a single hint of what he’s thinking, he
turns and leaves. I touch my mouth, running a finger over the same spot Dax
touched. My heart leaps into my throat, fluttering so fast I fear it may
explode.
Great. I’m ruined. My first kiss and it was nothing less
than brilliant. Dax Davies just ruined me for every other man from now until
the day I die.
