The Book Fairy Reviews's review 

Fighting to be the strong one to hold everything in and be responsible in his future and to Frankie the man that rescued him from a life of uncertainty to live a life filled with love and respect. Yeah Gabriel-The Saint- Vega had it hard but cherished every moment. He also cherished life of no attachment to chicks! Having fun was his motto along with hard work at becoming the best boxer and getting his chance at the pro's. That was until his next big break came in with an attachment he never expected~ Salem.
This story will definitely bring some tears and heated emotions out of you as you read about how The Saint grows and changes for the woman he can't have. How he learns that he has more that just friends he has family that is stronger than blood. Yeah he has had a tough life but falling love is harder than he thought is could ever be.
A must read for EVERYONE!!!

Life has been a roller coaster for Gabriel ‘The Saint’ Vega. From surviving a hellish childhood, to reuniting with his lost brother, only to hit the struggle of helping him battle his drug addiction. Boxing saved Gabriel’s life, and just when his career hits the fast track, he finally finds love with Salem; at least for a short time.

Social differences, obligations, and misguided good intentions tore Gabriel and Salem apart before they could ever really get started. Will Gabriel be able to save his brother from the whirlpool of addiction that threatens to drag him under? Is Salem capable of breaking away from the ropes that bind her to doing what’s expected rather than what and whom she desires? Can Gabriel convince Salem that their mutual feelings are worth fighting for, and that together, they will be able to go the distance?

The Book Fairy Reviews's review 

So this book starts off exactly where On the Ropes Left us, Gabriel utterly addicted to Salem and Salem fighting her feelings for a man she never thought would steal her heart. But let me tell you ladies that this book will give you more than just the 2 of them figuring things out. You will cry for the heart ache of his struggle to find that he is worthy of not just her but of being the man that he is about to become. You will cry for Salem as she learns that she is worthy of a man that is strong and that yes he loves her for her. You will cry for the bond of more than just friends, for a bond of a father that does not share the same DNA. You will cry because this is simply a beautiful story that goes the distance in you heart and soul and wins you over. Okay well yeah as you can see I loved this book, no just the book but the series! Bravo to Christa for an amazing ride!!!
