Seducing Cinderella (Fighting For Love #1) by GINA L MAXWEL
30 July, 2012
Our Review
I absolutely loved this book, PURE INDULGENCE, a yummy quick read that features a sexy, tattooed bad boy MMA fighter! How could you not….??!!
This story is about Reid and Lucie. I loved both characters. They were really well written. Reid was your typical hard and determined bad boy on the edge however he had this vulnerable side to him too. He was pretty perfect. Lucie was adorably sweet, beautiful and funny yet had the lowest self-esteem possible which affected her daily life.
Their journey begins when Reid needs full-time physical therapy after an injury to his shoulder. He has 2 months to get ready for his next big fight. It turns out that Lucie who he has known since childhood is his new therapist. Reid is Lucie’s brother’s best friend and she has had a crush on him since she was a teenager. However, Lucie is currently in unrequited love with Dr. Stephen, her sexy co-worker who has no romantic interest in her whatsoever (and is a bit of a sod). So when Reid ends up convincing her to give therapy sessions in exchange for seduction lessons, she jumps at the offer.
I loved how Lucie came out of her shell and I literally melted with how Reid went about it. Reid sees beyond the image Lucie is trying to project and helps bring out all the best in her, giving her back some much-needed confidence. He wants to show her how truly amazing she is. In return, Lucie is good for Reid. He himself has issues and Lucie brings them to the light and helps him realize his dreams.
“You’re wrong though, who you are isn’t just one thing. It’s everything you’re passionate about.” – Lucie
Synopsis
A sexy category romance from Entangled’s Brazen imprint…
He’ll teach her the art of seduction…for a price.
Mixed martial arts fighter Reid Andrews’s chance to reclaim his title as light heavyweight champ is shattered when he’s injured only months before the rematch. To make sure he’s healed in time, his trainer sends him to recuperate under a professional’s care—Reid’s best friend’s little sister, all grown up.
Disorganized and bookish Lucie Miller needs some professional help of her own. She’d do anything to catch the eye of a doctor she’s crushed on for years, so when Reid offers seduction lessons in exchange for 24/7 conditioning for the biggest fight of his career, Lucie jumps at the chance.
Soon Reid finds himself in the fight of his life…winning Lucie’s heart before she gives it to someone else.
