Punching and Kissing

By: Helena Newbury

Narrated by: Christian Fox, Lucy Rivers

When an illegal underground fight leaves my brother in the hospital, I make a desperate deal to save his life: I volunteer to fight in his place. In 30 days, I've got to walk into the ring, a woman in a man's world - and I've never even thrown a punch. I have one chance to survive. I need a badass who can teach me to be as tough as him. I need Aedan O'Harra, the blue-eyed, Irish beast of a man whom everyone fears.

But training together means getting close. Every touch of his hands makes it harder to control my feelings. I begin to see the man inside him, the one no one else can. Can I help him break free of the dark secrets that haunt him, and can we save each other, or will we both be defeated?

Unbelievable story but entertaining.

The narrators are good. The Irish accent is unbelievable but I didn’t let me bother me much. The story is also unbelievable- especially towards the end. The characters keep saying “they have no other choice” but there are numerous of other choices. You have to just let that go. If your someone that needs logic this won’t work. Half the time the actions of the villain make no sense. But it’s entertaining enough. Good sex scenes. There’s not a ton of buildup in between the two main characters. If you like that in a story you won’t get that here.

Had to leave a review

I normally never leave reviews but this book is HOOTTTTT! Very good performances, even if you don't like fighting books, the steam is worth it 😎

Aidan...he was absolutely poetic...poetry on Fire!

I think that this book is proof that sometimes the sequal is better...this story is not finished.

Kinda OK

I enjoyed the story though I'm not a fan of the female narrator' male voice. However, there was something missing. I think the bad guy had a little too much power over them with not enough scare factor to warrant their compliance with his ridiculousness. It's worth a listen but I wouldn't listen to it a second time.

Great

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. They were unexpected twist and turns. I was rooting for Aiden and Sylvie. Some areas were predictable. Some areas were not. I’m looking forward to another book similar.
