Sawyer Bass, a professional boxer, plays his guitar at a local bar to escape the painful reality of his father’s deteriorating health and a recent health warning of his own. But when he spots a stunning brunette across the room, escaping reality goes out the window, and the beautiful woman becomes the focus of his next song—and maybe even the rest of his life.

When Sawyer walks into Sky’s tattoo shop and sees the woman from the bar—Sky—the chemistry between them is instant. Sawyer is everything Sky could ever hope for in a man. He’s honest, loving, sensitive, and potently virile—but boxing goes against everything Sky believes in. The closer they become, the more she realizes that her alpha boxer is waging his own emotional battle—only the battle she thinks he’s waging isn’t the one that threatens to tear them apart.

Review: I was so excited to find out it was finally Sky’s turn to take center stage. She is by far the seaside sweetie that I most identify with! Walking to the beat of her own drum, Sky isn’t one to let much get her down, not that she wouldn’t mind a little love and lust in her life…if it could get past Blue and her overprotective brothers. Sawyer is definitely hot, no question, but his rough, boxer exterior belies what lies within – a lovely, artistic soul. Together they have the potential to create beautiful art and music (and not just on paper either)…but can these two overcome the massive obstacle that might push them irrevocably apart?
