Braxton surprised me in front of hundreds of students with a kiss. I try to avoid him, but when you live with someone it's extremely difficult. After agreeing to be just friends, we start hanging out. He has different plans for us and it has nothing to do with being friends, but sleeping with me. Will I be able to fight the urge to give in?
This was definitely better than the first book. We have the chance to find out more about our main heroes and mostly about Braxton.
In this book the author explores the inner family problems Braxton hides from everyone, and the tensed relationship he shares with his dreadful father..
Also Emmi gets an opportunity to work on her favorite past time, photography, more seriously, maybe it is her true calling after all.. [image error]
As for their realationship, is strained one moment and extremely cute the next. But as Brax continues his way up to the championship and everyday trusts Emmi more and more, he understands how incredible she really is and at the end he takes the big leap..
THOUGHTS ABOUT THE BOOK
- Dual POV. - It is refreshing how normal Emmi is.. - Braxton changes constantly into someone better. - This part was more meaningful and deep. - I likes how much he loved his sister.. - The drama with his family makes Braxton as a charactrer, more down to earth and loveable. - The sex was so sweet.. - The fighting scene was again very good.
Me ha gustado bastante más esta segunda parte, creo que los protagonistas se han terminado de formar con una personalidad de lo más interesante y empiezan a verse uno al otro de otra manera. Aunque es un poco más corta que la primera tiene más peso en cuanto a trama y dramatismo al ir viendo un poco más del contexto de los personajes, y el por qué de ciertas actitudes. Tengo ganas de leer la siguiente entrega, pero aún no sé cuándo le daré su tiempo. Obviamente va siendo una saga bastante recomendable para pasar un rato entretenido.
In the first book Emmi moved in the house Braxton lives in he's a player and she's trying really hard to stay away from him. But she soon discovers there's a lot more to Braxton than a great set of abs. She was thrown for a loop after attending one of his MMA fights when he kissed her. Avoiding him seems the only answer, but it's difficult when she's sharing a house with him.
The question is what will happen next will they or won't they. This is the second book in this series which I liked better than the first one. The interactions between Braxton and Emmi are fraught with sexual tension, I liked how there's quite a bit of humour as well in the dialogue. I hope the author isn't going to make readers wait too long for the next instalment.
I enjoyed the first book 'Consumed' where we're introduced to Emmi and Braxton, now Emmi is a great female character, she's normal, which I know doesn't sound like 'great' but she's believable, she doesn't have any stupid 'romance book' moments she's just Emmi, and Braxton, when we're first introduced to him he's a player but we know there's more to him than that. The air is so thick with sexual chemistry, which has only increased since 'the kiss' that it can only be a matter if time before something gives....surely.
La relación de Braxton y Emmi ha dado un paso hacia delante pero no saben bien hacia donde. El beso entre ellos ha puesto las cosas raras, porque no son amigos pero tampoco son algo más. Braxton todavía la quiere en su cama y Emmi no será otra muesca más para él... Podrá Braxton comprometerse?
Este libro ha sido una visión de las 50 maneras de Braxton de intentar seducir a Emmi pero de una manera menos sexual y más sutil. Estaba visto que cederían en algún momento pero me ha gustado mucho ver parte de la vida de Braxton. Me encanta su relación con su hermana ❤️ veamos cómo sigue esto aunque con esa sinopsis me espero problemas!
I really want to hate Braxton, I really do, but I can't this man is beyond sexy and I am in love with this series, In fact I was kinda mad that my ipad wouldn't sync last night and I couldn't start book three, so here I am at work trying to figure out how I can read book three on my phone. :)
This is a hot & fun MMA fighter romance book, that is a series of short stories that have one giant arc.
Braxton and Emmi are still working their the kiss that shook her a bit but feelings were hard to hide and they started out as friends and working their the past of Braxton. Worrying about his sister and the fight and then Emmi always being on his mind to the anger that happen to have him open up more. Great book hope the next one comes fast since I am pulling for these two to be a couple.
Same review for all 6 books. Braxton is an MMA fighter/student. In the beginning he was a player. Emmi was the one to knock him on his ass. But Braxton had to work to get her trust. Cute story.
Girl! Just like that?!!!! You said you wanted red, he give you red and that's it? She is really new in that dating thing, even i can tell. Watch out, your friend isn't really a friend.
After the kiss that shook her world, Emmi literally started hiding in her own home. There was no other word for it. She avoided Braxton at all costs and took measures to keep from bumping in to him. Something that was not easy considering that they lived together. Thing is, that kiss changed everything. She knew Braxton wanted her, but she couldn’t be with him without a commitment. And Braxton was not the commitment type. She knew that. He knew that. She would not be fooled again. Fool me once, shame on you… Yeah, so Braxton hadn't fooled her. But she knew it would just be a matter of time… Braxton was going crazy. His mood was black. His balls were blue. But there was no one he wanted except Emmi. He knew she was skittish because of her ex, so he needed to decide what he was willing to do. Could he be exclusive with her? Would she believe him? Did she even want him? Yeah, she did… The second installment of the series turns up the heat. Even though Emmi plays hard to get, she can't deny the attraction between them or the friendship she misses because of her MIA act. She knows she could fall for Braxton if only he was boyfriend material, but with her own past was she even girlfriend stock anymore?
Alycia Taylor has written a book in a series of short stories. I have recently found out that I am not a fan of this style of writing. This is my fourth novel split into several series and I do not like it.
The issue with the MMA Romance series is it's too elementary. The writing is simplistic and the story line is really bland. After I read MMA Romance #1 I decided to give Taylor another shot...after all the story was less than a hundred pages. I figured there was no where for her to go but up. However, I found myself less enthused with MMA Romance #2.
I sometimes choose easy to read novels after I read something heavy and I just need a mental break. Although this is a very easy read, I would not choose this novel to decompress because it caused more aggravation than release.
Devoured was a good follow up from the first book in this series.
Braxton wasn't thinking when he kissed Emmi. He just acted with all the adrenaline he had from the fight. Emmi wasn't happy with this. She wasn't asked if she wanted him to kiss her, even though she probably did at that time without knowing it.
Emmi was a coward for awhile and hid from Braxton in her room. Braxton knew she was hiding, but he acted like a gentleman by leaving her be to sort it out in her head.
Braxton finally got Emmi to hang out with him for awhile, so they hung out while Emmi was doing work for the newspaper by taking pictures.
Within this part of the story, Braxton and Emmi finally allowed their friendship to grow.
The more I learn about Braxton, the more I like him and this installment definitely gave me a lot more insight into him. It also proved that there's usually more going on behind the scenes with someone and you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. Especially if it's the cover Braxton goes out of his way to put out. I loved the simple romance that was displayed in this installment as well. it wasn't too thin or too thick. It was perfect. I love the way the characters play off each other and the struggle they both have at not giving in to what is so obviously going on between them. The payoff at the end just made it even better for me. Loved it!
I loved this for a 2nd book. They story line is great and well written. I've easily fallen in love with Emmi and Brax. Emmi has normal fears of getting hurt after being with her last boyfriend who cheated on her. Braxton wants to give Emmi the relationship she deserves but is worried he will slip up and hurt her just like her ex, which he doesn't want to do at all. He enjoys the times they spend together. It went from a try and get her in my bed to a i'd like a relationship with her. Can't wait to see what happens in the next book!
This was a better book for me then the first one. I actually am starting to like Braxton but I'm a little anxious at the same time. I'm sure something is bound to happen that will tear these two apart but for the mean time I think Braxton and Emmi are cute together. If Braxton actually lets down some of his walls instead of hiding behind his persona of a no relationship kind of guy then he will be happy.
Brax puede ser la cosa mas tierna del mundo cuando quiere. Me siento igual de enamorada que Emmi ajdkskd. Me hace reír verlo coladito por Emmi, me recuerda a Will Sumner. Lo único malo que veo aquí es que, a mi parecer, es realmente innecesario separar la historia en seis tomos cuando pudo haberlo dejado en un solo tomo, o tal vez dos. En fin, me sigue agradando lo suficiente la historia como para continuarla.
I read the full series and I loved it I am so glad that I didn't start reading this series until all the books had been released I would have been going bonkers if I had to wait to find out what happened I really enjoyed this series and the HEA was fantastic it might have been a bumpy ride but it was a great HEA ending .. :)
This installment is Braxton getting Emmi to become his friend but when he can't take being friends anymore he has to convince her to take the plunge. Ending wasn't a cliffhanger but book #3 "Addiction" is out and I know what they built in this installment is going to be shot to hell in that one.
Wow I really can't get enough of Emmi and Braxton. Their relationship is starting to click. Emmi told Braxton she only wants relationship if he's ready to commit. Can sexy MMA fighter commit? Loving it. Too bad it's too short. You are starting to see their past. Book 3 here I come.
