Publisher Description
Pain can be pleasurable, but secrets never are.
Troy Curtis knows pain. He lives with it day in and day out. Only his daily workouts keep him sane. When he gets a new trainee at his gym, he wonders if his pain could be her pleasure.
Gold Falls needs to destress and one way of doing that is working out with a group of other VIPs. Sensing there is more to his bluster, she finds Troy's gruff, trash-talking nature sexy and intriguing.
As their relationship heats up, a secret could tear them asunder.
Customer Reviews
Too loosely connected
This should have been better than it was. The story features a visually impaired heroine and a physically disabled hero. She was believable, but I couldn't relate to a man who takes out his own performance issues (disability-related) by inflicting pain on a woman's body, even with her consent. The romance didn't click for me. The crime/thriller story didn't add up - it was never fully set up, and never fully concluded. Why the couple were targeted, and by whom, was never explained, and the hit-man's end doesn't mean that the problem is resolved. This is a voluntary, independent, and disappointed ARC review.
