Renee "Ren" Miller was five when her Dad left to go to the shops and never came back.
Left
to grow up with a cancer riddled mother, things have never been easy
for a teenager who had to be wise beyond her years. Then one day they

Now twenty-two, Ren
reluctantly goes to find her estranged father. He owns the down and out
boxing studio, Beat, and Ren finds herself drawn to the ring. She
thrives on learning a new way of fighting a life that kept kicking her
down…instead of struggling against the current, she kicks it right
between the legs.
Then one day, Ash Fuller, her Dad's star
fighter comes back to town. Mysterious, handsome… Dangerous… Everything
Ren doesn't need.
But he's got other ideas…
…and so does she.

Review
❤❤❤❤1/2
What the hell did I just read!! I'm so strung up on Ren and Ash that I don't know which way is up! Totally sucked me in spit me out and left me wanting more since its a cliffhanger!!
Amity Cross wrote a beautiful fighter book about the beasts that live within, one that can be reeled in and one that once it's released it destroys all that's in its path. If you are a lover of all things fighters like I am you won't be let down when you meet the golden boy, Maverick, Ash Fuller. Green eyed fighter who is fighting his way back from the bottom after 4 years away. And Ren the raven haired goddess of the ring, that has taken the crap life has dealt her and turned it into a drive and need to survive.
When two beasts meet can they survive or will the relationship implode like the time bombs they both can be?
Excerpt
My fist slammed into the heavy leather bag, the impact
jolting up my arm and absorbing into my torso.
The only light was from the back row of fluorescents
I’d switched on over the ring. It was dark, murky and helped me pretend I was
someplace else. The drama from the daylight hours was gone and it was just me
and the darkness. Exactly the way I liked it.
I began another set of punches, hair sticking to the
sweat beading across the back of my neck. Structure. This was the only thing
that was predictable in my life and I needed predictable.
Stance. Guard. Punch. Guard. Repeat.
There was a loud cough behind me and I spun on my
heel, heart thumping in my chest, and my gaze collided with Ash’s.
“Fuck,” I exclaimed, holding a hand over my heart. “Don’t
fucking do that, Ash.” Typical. The creeper was being all creeper again.
“What are you doing?” He stared at me, his gaze
hovering a little too long on my bare midriff.
I steadied the bag with one hand, taking deep breaths.
“What does it look like?”
“I’ve never seen…” He trailed off and I wondered if
I’d finally made the Golden Boy lost for words.
I
turned my back so I didn’t have to look at him. “What? A woman in a sports bra?
Highly doubt it.” I rolled my eyes and wiped my forehead with the back of my
arm. Even though I couldn’t see, I felt his gaze burning into my skin and I
suppressed the urge to squeeze my thighs together. Infuriating, self-absorbed,
arrogant…
