Love Hurts (Caged Love #1) by Mandi Beck
Wow! What a book! This is Mandi Becks debut book, and I am
hooked. I love everything about it. The story, the characters and most of all, the
book cover.
This story follows Deacon “The Hitman” Love, and his quest
to make his best friend Frankie “Princess” De Rosa his. Deacon has loved
Princess since the moment they meet, but he has only loved her from afar. Only
when Frankie becomes engaged to a real tool does he tell her his true feelings.
Frankie doesn’t take the news well as she was completely oblivious of his true
feelings. Thus starts the downward spiral of their love story.
Emotions are high in this story, and a whole lot of
testosterone mixed in with it. Deacon is the epitome a skilled MMA fighter
alpha-male; he is whatever man wants to be, and what every woman wants in bed.
Well everyone but Frankie. After a horrendous incident, can Frankie finally let
her guard down and accept that Deacon isn’t just trying to get in her pants,
that maybe just maybe he truly does love her?
This book brought out so many emotions for me. I laughed,
cried and became angry with the characters. Most of the book is written in
Deacon’s perspective and I believe the author truly captured Deacons tortured
soul in her writing. It was very well written and a breath of fresh air to read
a romance novel from a man’s perspective.
I will tell you that this book does end on a cliffhanger. I
know, I know, I don’t like it either. The wait begins now for the second book
to be released. It’s supposed to come out this summer, and I will defiantly be
anxiously awaiting it. I have not read a whole lot of books with sports themes,
but the few that I have, I have to say that the MMA oriented books always have
the best alpha-males. If you like they guys who command their way into your
life, then you NEED to read this book. Deacon will not disappoint.
And Mark, I’m sorry to say but you have been replaced.
Deacon has stolen my heart from you.
