From the moment I step into Adam's Boxing Gym, I'm smitten--head over heels madly in love with him.
This man is set out to teach me a whole lot more than just throwing a punch...

This was a great start to this new series. I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book.
Charlotte has worked hard to get the life she has, coming from an abusive family and a stepfather that used her as a punching bag she made her dream happen. Now a therapist that deal with abuse victims but when her work suddenly impacts her world in a way she has never considered and she finds herself under threat from a patients husband it’s time she learns how to protect herself. She meets Adam on her first visit to gym and is immediately attracted to him, can she learn to protect herself in time and could what she feels for Adam be true love?
Adam hasn’t been interested in women for a long time choosing to devote himself to the running of his gyms around the country, but the night Charlotte walks into his gym he knows this is the moment his life became complete. She’s there because she’s scared and he wants nothing but to protect her forever but will she still want to see him after all her lessons are done?
Quick and cute, it’s not safe as far as mentioning of domestic abuse but it’s not detailed. 4 🌟 read.

Charlotte is afraid after she is threatened by a client’s husband and goes to sign up for self-defense lessons. Adam takes one look at Charlotte and knows that he wants to spend time with her. He agrees to teach her and soon sparks fly between them. Will Adam be able to keep her safe? Fast-paced read with plenty of drama and great chemistry. I liked it.

Redemption by Alexa Blue is the first book in her Protecting Her Curves series. In this book we meet two leading characters—Charlotte and Adam. Charlotte is a 25-year-old therapist specializing with abused women. Adam is an MMA fighter and the owner of his own gym. When Charlotte receives a threatening letter, under her front door, from the abusive husband of one of her clients, she decides to meet this threat head on. She signs up for boxing classes at Adam’s gym. From their initial meeting they have chemistry. Will Charlotte and Adam find happiness? What happens with Michael?
I enjoyed reading this book. Her characters are well-developed. The main characters are strong and focused. Charlotte, for example, could have crumbled when she got the threatening note, but she did not. She went out and learned how to defend herself. I enjoyed her use of strong dialog. She uses descriptive language to paint vivid scenes that pull the reader into her story. Her plot flowed. She enhanced the basic, boy meets girl romantic arc, with the stalker (Michael) to create suspense. I wished Ms. Blue would have done a bit more with the suspense angle and that is why I rated this book with three stars (okay).

I loved Charlotte’s and Adam’s story, Charlotte is an abuse councillor she lives to help people but her client’s husband has threatened her life so she goes to a gym to get lessons to protect herself that’s where she meets Adam the owner. Adam is walking to his office after a boxing session when he see’s a breath of fresh air walk through the door she is beautiful and has curves in all of the right places but she’s a distraction so he lets Dylan deal with her but when he hears her voice he can’t help himself he goes over to her but when he see’s fear in her eyes Adam grabs her hand and takes her into his office. I loved the epilogue at the end of this fantastic short story and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is the story of Charlotte and Adam. Charlotte was a therapist and when she was threatened by the husband of a client, she decided she needed to learn how to defend herself. Adam owned a number of gyms and when Charlotte walked into his gym, he wanted to protect her. Adam thought he would never settle down and was sure he would always be alone, until Charlotte came in. Now Adam wanted to train her to defend herself and he wondered if he could cross the line and get involved with a client. I enjoyed this instant love story. Ilike how Adam wanted Charlotte to be able to protect herself and was willing to teach her how to. I think Adam believed in Charlotte and i think she really cared about him. Good one.

Charlotte receives a letter served under her home door that she’s basically going to get was coming to her because she messed up the marriage. This is how Adam is introduced to Charlotte. She attends his gym to enroll in self defense. I am excepts her reasoning as to why she wants to get defense classes. As a relationship blooms this is where Adam is not being protective because she’s being stopped. I don’t want to make her his forever is his dream. Will she acknowledge the attraction?

4.5 stars. Adam owns a series of fitness centers. Charlotte is a therapist. She gives advice to one of her clients. The client's husband doesn't take the news well. Charlotte visits one of Adam's fitness centers. He is instantly smitten. She has her own hiccups. The two have to overcome their own past in order to move forward with the future. Great characters with great chemistry. The suspense is just enough to keep the pages turning.

This was an amazing first book in the Protecting Her Curves Series by Alexa Blue. Charlotte is a therapist specializing in domestic violence and is threatened by the husband of one of her clients. Looking to protect herself she goes to Barker Fitness for self defense classes. When gym owner Adam lays eyes on Charlotte he definitely wants to know her better. He knows she is running from something but now that Adam has found his soulmate, he will protect her for the rest of their lives. Insta love at it's best! Hoping Dylan will get his story next...

Good but a little predictable
It's a good story, a little predictable, ultimately quite cute, although the beginning is quite serious.
Charlotte is a young therapist who is threatened by the husband of one of her patients. To protect herself, she decides to take boxing lessons and she meets Adam, the boss of the gym, by whom she is attracted and vice versa.

Alexa did an amazing job with this book. Once I started I couldn't put it down. Alexa did a great job explaining the characters and the story flowed smoothly from start to finish. Both Adam and Charlotte have pasts that may haunt them for life. Will their past change their future? Will they ever get their HEA?

Okay, I habe yo be honest.
The entire first half of this book eas amazing and I loved it. I fell for the characters and their chemistry was great.
Then the second half of the book seemed rushed, cut up, tired. The ending was still a happy ending, but the effect was as great as it would have been had it come earlier in the book.
I dont often give this rating but...
3 stars
Happy reading!

Charlotte and Adam meet when she comes into his gym to learn to protect herself. She has received a threat and it frightens her enough to seek self defense training. When Adam sees her, he falls head over heels for her, and she him. I enjoyed this book and thought the characters fit perfectly well together. I will be looking forward to my next Alexa Blue book.

A riveting, well written, interesting, and engaging read! The story moves along at a brisk pace and is action packed with drama, suspense, intrigue, and so much more.

I loved Charlotte and Adam’s story. Adam is perfect. He is sexy, confident and fiercely protective of Charlotte. While she fears for her life because of a patient’s angry husband (whom she filed for divorce and he comes after Charlotte). She quickly begins to learn that nothing will harm her as long as Adam is around

This was a quick pace love romance with some suspense and drama.
Good storyline and characters were well developed and have good chemistry between them. It also touch subject of domestic abuse not only between the couple but towards therapist as well.
Sometimes self defence training is definitely needed, if this includes hot trainer it’s even better.
Enjoy this short read, it’s enjoyable.

4.5 - Oh My! Even if there weren't a single sexy time scene in this book, it is SO HOT! ( Don't worry. There is one.)
Like most of us, Adam and Charlotte each have their baggage but their chemistry is immediate. Adam's possessiveness comes across as sexy versus him looking like an arrogant jerk. Things get a little crazy to be sure to strap in for the ride! I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Charlotte is a psychologist and her patients abusive and soon to be ex-husband has threatened her. She goes to a boxing gym to take lessons and meets Adam the owner. Although he wasn't looking for love or anything serious, when he sees Charlotte, he's instantly drawn to her and wants to quickly claim her. My only criticism is that for all the lessons she took, Alexa never has her throw a punch.

Charlotte gets threatened by her clients husband so she takes boxing lessons from Adam. I enjoyed this book. This was only the second book that I’ve read by this author and it was good. The epilogue was standard but still good. I can’t wait to read more.

Okay book
The different sections are a little bit hard to follow, it kind of jumps around. Plus, who doesn't go to the police when they're threatened like this? Other than that the story is pretty good. It's a quick book, but the romance is slow moving. It does need a little editing.

this book started off really great and then I found it just pushed everything in and it was over.
I think it showed have added more content then you could have ended it.
For me it was lacking. The general story line is great!
