“There would be no happy ending for us. He was too damaged. I was too broken.”
Two years ago, Lorrie’s mother was murdered. But that wasn’t the end of it. Reeling from the tragedy, Lorrie’s father spiraled into alcohol, depression, and finally suicide.
The two most important people in Lorrie’s life are both gone but she’s still alive.
Trying to recover from the tragedy, Lorrie returns to campus, ready to pick up the pieces of her life. All Lorrie wants is to get back to “normal.”
Then she meets Hunter. The man, the legend, “the Hammer.”
Hunter is a cage fighter who takes on every fight like he’s got nothing to lose. His life is a tangled mess of girls, booze, and fist fights. And while it may seem like he’s got a devil-may-care attitude, he’s fighting a private cage-match with a monster he can’t defeat.
Lorrie knows that Hunter is the exact type of guy she should stay away from, especially in her fragile state, but Hunter has other ideas.
As Hunter and Lorrie grow closer together, will they be able to overcome their pain and heal each other? Or will they both end up wrecked?

Cathy's Review:
Loved this book. I want an MMA fighter of my own. I couldn't put it down once I started it. The characters were tragically thrown together and you wanted Hunter to fix Lorrie and make her realize that her tragic past was just that, the past. Little did we know Hunter had demons of his own. I was so angry with him that he ran to Ada and didn't trust Lorrie enough to help him even since she had told him of her problems. Ada is one of those love/hate characters. I hated her for the way she treated Lorrie and I truly feel like she still loves Hunter and would take him back in a heartbeat. Uggghhh cliff hanger... I was so engrossed that I didn't know I had already reached the end of the book. Unfortunately, I will have to wait next book to come out to see if there will be a HEA. Crossing my fingers...
