Consumed
I got a late start signing up for college and now all the dorms were filled. So I looked in the most logical spot for a place to stay, the newspaper. After finding an apartment with a guy that was supposedly an MMA fighter and only walking distance to the college, I sent first month's rent payment.
He seemed nice on the phone but when I showed up and knocked on the door I learned that I broke his number one rule, don't ever interrupt his "business". Will I be able to ignore the most popular guy on campus constantly hitting on me or will I give in and find that he's something more?

Not bad at all, not great either..
I really love stories with roommates and i was hoping for this to be better.
So we have Emmi, a nice, normal girl, that starts her college life with a little delay and catches her new roommate in a compromising situation.
Braxton is a colossal player, he fights to earn his living, he dumps girls right and left and also has a dorky side..AND he is hot and he knows it, so he roams around the house almost naked at any opportunity he gets to make her want him..
Emmi doesn't trust him at first because the only thing he wants is sex and he states it very blatantly.. But on their way towards knowing each other better, they will both change their minds..
The book overall was ok and easy to read, but needs editing and the story more character developement.. The next book that i'm reading at the moment is much better..
THOUGHTS ABOUT THE BOOK
- The fight scene was very good..
- I liked Emmi's friend.
- Dual POV.
- Underneath the facade, Braxton has real goals for his life and that is admireable
- I liked Emmi's character generally.
- I found some gramatical mistakes and a name stated wrongly.. Tayler as in Trent.
- Their kiss was so hot.

This book puts every thing on fire. What a cock block entry and the every time unexpected turns makes this book more and more readable after every turning page.God same me from this new book boyfriend.
The story is quite simple Braxton is a fighter who had nothing now has all the things which a person need girls drooling over him ,ready to throw there every thing away and take his tranturms like he is a sex god.
Emmi is a little girl who had her heart broken by her high school boyfriend and is now in a new city for a new start.
They meet love happens but both of them tag it as lust and lack of sex but some what they crave each other.
But this story is very very sweet and has all kinds of plays and bff drama to bring them together that whats makes it more fun to read type books.
Lace of trust in the manhore boyfriend and emmis makes a lot of twist and turns but this book will set all your surrounding on fire.

I really liked this story it was well written with very engaging characters. Emmi is starting college but was too late to get anywhere to stay on campus. Instead she's managed to get a room in a house with a guy called Braxton. She hadn't met him beforehand and had only ever spoken to him on the telephone. When she turns up at the house she's shocked to find he's a six foot two hunk of muscle. Braxton is fellow student and part time underground MMA fighter, he's also the biggest womaniser with the worst reputation.
Despite finding him very attractive Emmi has no intention of becoming a victim of his short attention span. As the days and weeks pass they do become more friendly but that's all it is, even if Braxton would like to get her naked and in his bed.
First part in a new series, Braxton is at first a big headed conceited idiot, he constantly thinks how irresistible he is. He even goes as far as to purposely wear clothes that show his body at its best. But the further into the story you get the easier he is to understand, he's not just a bunch of muscles basically he's a good guy. He studies hard, and has real ambition outside of fighting in a cage. I thought at first this might be a bit cliched as there's plenty of stories out there featuring fighters, but there was a lot more going on in this. Emmi doesn't trust Braxton at first, she's been hurt in the past. I really liked her she has a backbone and isn't one of those heroines who melts every time the hero looks at her. Although this is a short read it certainly didn't feel like it. I will definitely be reading the rest of this series.

For a short story, things were blurred from the start, I really felt absolutely no connections to either of the characters...unfortunately, and the speed was not the only issue...
July 14, 2014
Great start to a new series.
Emmi is a week late starting college so all the dorm rooms are full, she's renting a room from a guy, a guy she's never met so this is a gutsy move. Now the roommate is Braxton and he's probably the best looking guy she's ever seen, he's tall, muscled and a MMA fighter but he knows it, he's a player, in fact her arrival interrupts his 'playing' so he's not happy and makes a point of explaining the number one rule 'no cock-blocking' ever. Now Braxton is so cocky it never occurs to him that Emmi would ever say 'no' to him, I mean after all she's female.
I personally love different POV books So this was perfect for me, at first Braxton is what you'd expect, a conceited man-whore but the more you read the more you come to understand that he's not just a dumb jock. I liked both Emmi and Braxton, although not so much Braxton in the beginning, he grew on me. Emmi is a great female character and it's rare for me to find one that I like all the way through a book, admittedly this is a short book but she didn't have a single too stupid to live moment, which was great.
Now you could argue that this book is nothing new, and it isn't, but then not many books are, it's reminiscent of 'Beautiful Disaster' at times but then it's bound to be considering it's college, he's a MMA fighter, also a man-whore, but he's a nice guy really, she's a girl who can say no and she sees past the image...you get the picture. This book is well written and I really liked it but then I liked the both the main characters which is the main stumbling block for me and I agree with the other reviewer this feels like a much longer book.
I knew this was a cliffhanger book because I got 'Consumed' and 'Devoured' at the same time but I don't know how many books are in this series.

1.5 'Did-I-read-the-same-book-as-you' STARS
I feel like I have read books like this over and over again, but with different names and a different author. I had to keep stopping because the characters didn't feel original enough and I kept thinking " why do mma guys always have to be womanisers?" "Why do the heroines always have to be these fragile, pretending to be tough, objects?"
The writing was kinda bad to be honest and was uncomfortable to read because I had to keep re-reading sentences to see if I got it right the first time.
As for the characters, I felt like they were based on stereotypes especially the lead male who was the 'jerk that all girls love' but I think he went a bit beyond that, in a bad way. And last but not least, the heroine. She wasn't that bad, could of used a couple more interesting character traits, but all in all they both need work.
And as for the separate books, dafuq? I don't think it's necessary and I won't be purchasing the next one. But I also feel like authors who do this are trying to make money off of their readers, no offence.

Typical NA genre.. hero is hot, sexy, jerk that all the girls want meets good girl who got burned from the past..
You get my drift right? :)
So if you're bored and just want a quick read then I rec this book. Needs a little editing but despite it I kinda enjoyed their cute story.
3.5 stars.

Lo más interesante a resaltar de este libro es que la relación se va a dar paso a paso. Por otro lado, la historia me supo a poco, aunque los personajes se perfilan interesantes, en esta primera entrega de la saga creo que no muestran todo su potencial.
Ni Braxton ni Emmi me terminaron de enganchar para identificarme con ellos y lo que sienten.
Leeré los próximos libros, que en general tienen pocas páginas, para ver qué tal se da el avance de la relación. Si quieren leerlo, léanlo.

First of all, serials annoy me. I know it's the hot new way to publish & everything, but I like having the whole story in one book. Now, this is different than a SERIES. I love series. I love connected stories & getting to know large casts of characters who get their own stories... The difference is in the completion of the story. I have given several serials a chance because they looked good enough to be worth it, but then the first book is nothing but filler - nothing happens. So annoying!
Then we have Consumed. This one did a good job of establishing both characters, and letting them get to know each other, even in a limited amount of pages. And it does close a general story arc at the end, giving us something to look forward to in the next installment w/o being melodramatic or "cliffy."
Will I read the rest of the serial? Possibly, if it's put into one volume once complete. The writing is good and I did find the story engaging, so I would like to read it, but not so much in pieces. So, while this wasn't a 5 star read for me, it was very good and if you like serials, I would recommend this one based off its beginnings. : )

Es como una novela dividida en partes.
Es decir ponen 4 capitulos y en el siguiente "libro"ponen 4 capitulos mas y asi sucesivamente hasta que todos estos "libros" formen un libro completo.
No me gusto, ambos protagonistas me parecieron los tipicos de toda novela sin nada nuevo que aumentar.
Veamos como va el siguiente.

Good story line. However, it's only 54 pages on my nook. It's like 1/4 of a book. Then you have to buy the next 1/4 . I hate it when authors do this.

Para los que gustan de las historias sobre romance universitario predecible, está bien. Al parecer se fragmenta en varios libros, por mi parte llego solo hasta acá.

Yeah okay it was a fun little read I guess, but ultimately it was a great, big cliche. Both of the characters really were annoying. And I have no interest to read the rest of the books in this series. The guy is just another horny college boy and the girl is just another......cliche. The book was short too and I felt that there wasn't any actual character development. I couldn't even feel the chemistry between these two considering all this guy was looking for was just a lay anyways.
And I hated that trip to the zoo. I felt like I was reading a high school romance at that point. Really? I mean you just had to sneak in and pretend to be part of their group and was jealous over some guy expressing interest in her. He didn't even have a reason to be jealous.
So no I'm not going to waste my time reading the entire series. It got off to a bad start and I'm sure from there it's all going to be downhill.

Braxton es un futuro campeón de la MMA, pero no os equivoqueis, esto es solo temporal y solo por el dinero y las chicas. Eso es hasta que mi nueva compañera de piso arruina mi polvo de una noche. Es decir, si no pude conseguir con otra ella puede compensarlo no?
Emmi estaba emocionada con llegar a su nuevo apartamento, lo que no esperaba es que abriese la puerta un semidesnudo y malumorado chico. Es atractivo si, pero también es un pervertido asqueroso. Si solo puediera seguir diciéndose eso...
Este es el primer libro corto de la historia de Emmi y Braxton. Apenas es una introducción de cómo se conocen y como él intenta de todas las formas posibles llevársela a la cama. Se veía venir como un choque de trenes, el final, así que estoy deseando ver el siguiente libro y como continua su romance en ciernes.

Very quick read. Although it did take me ages to finish it; reason being it didn't capture me and was very easy to put aside and read something else.
This wasn't for me. Usually I love fighter book but this was way too immature for my tastes.
There was nothing remotely likeable about Braxton. He was conceited and self-absorbed. I didn't like his cocky attitude at all. The characters weren't developed enough to connect with and the story line was mediocre at best.
Not for me.
2.5 'get over yourself Braxton!' Stars.

I loved the premise of this book. The heroine moves in with the hero into his apartment. The hero is a male slut and as a bonus a MMA fighter. However, this one is short...81 pages and I had a problem with the Braxton's inner dialogue. There was too much inner dialogue for a male POV. I don't think guys have so many opinions and thoughts about everything. If I did not know better I would think it was Clarie's POV.
This did little for me and I doubt I will read the next book in the series.

What a great read. Braxton and Emmi both so different and so the same. Emmi being innocent and naive and Braxton coming off as a hot shot but when you get to know him he is but there is way more going on under that. Emmi just trying to enjoy things and starts to see that there could be more with him. Can't wait for the next one. Loved it.

I feel cheated
I feel cheated
I fell for another one, another nickel-and-dime-ya to get a complete story. I liked the story, it's well written, but I hate getting a story chapter by chapter. Although I'd love to know what happens, I am not buying the next "book".

I really enjoyed the story, but the writing was horrible. The grammar was terrible and it needs serious editing.
Negatives aside, Braxton and Emmi are great characters, along with Zoe.
I think I'll continue their series just to see where the story goes, hoping that is, that the sequels continue to follow Braxton and Emmi.

Cute story
This was a cute, fast read. The author needs to put it through another round with an editor, but the errors weren't too bad. I'm curious to see where Braxton & Emmi's story will lead.

I don't usually give two stars but this book was terrible, poorly written, at one stage I'm sure the main character talked about her ex but called him by the wrong name, boring, short, wouldn't continue on reading this series

It was obvious from the description that I was going to read one more "beautiful disaster" replica.
I didn't mind that.
Even then, I really liked the story. It was vibrant, fun and I smiled all through it.

Good quick read. A girl answers an ad for a roommate and he is an mma fighter in an underground fights. Enjoyed it and cant wait to see where this thing with Emmi and Braxton goes next
August 17, 2014
Dreadful writing - DNF at 30% because the writing was so bad I couldn't be bothered waiting to find out if the story was any good. Even at $0.99 it was a waste of money
July 19, 2016
Braxton finally learned that fighting in the ring makes getting women's attention easy but he just found a girl he has to fight for her attention outside of the ring. this is a cute story.

I really liked this story of the romance between 2 unexpected roommates, Emmi and Braxton, the characters were engaging with a cute story line.
