EXCERPT:
“This is where you don’t want to be as a smaller grappler,” he says in his ‘I’m a professional MMA fighter’ voice. “How are you going to get out of this hold?”
The question isn’t so much how am I going to get out of it but do I want to get out of it? And with Rampage’s hard, muscular body on top of me, his legs between my thighs, his hardness pressed tight against the juncture of my thighs, I’m not sure I do.Rampage stills, and his eyes widen.
Bugger. Did I say that out loud?
“I’m not sure I want you to either.” His breath is warm against my ear. “But if you don’t move, we’ll both get kicked out of class. So, what are you going to do?”
“Um…overhook an arm, bridge and roll, then get on top into the closed guard?”
Rampage drops his weight, stealing my breath. “Won’t work against a larger opponent. You need to blast through my hips and use a bit of strength to overturn me. Strength you don’t have. Your best bet is to escape back to half guard.”
“Okay.” I wiggle just the tiniest bit against him, seeking more of that delicious pressure against my clit. With my vibrator on high, I was able to take the edge off this morning, but with Rampage on top of me, I’m wound up all over again.
A low growl rumbles in his throat. “You’d better be wiggling ’cause you’re moving into half guard,” he warns. “Now straighten up and make your transition.”
“This is as straight as I get,” I mutter. “I’m a woman. Women have curves. I happen to have a curve in my back, and it wants to stay that way.”
“I can feel your curves, darlin’. Every one of them. And it’s making it fucking hard to concentrate. Make your move ’cause if you don’t do it soon, I’ll have to go out and get a cup.”
I suck in a sharp breath. “You aren’t wearing a cup?”
“No.”
Don’t move. Don’t move.
I can’t help it. I move. Or, more accurately, I grind.
Wham. Rampage transitions into half guard and flips me onto my front. While I try to get my knees under me, he straddles me and grabs my hips in his huge hands. Heat surges through my body, and I groan quietly in my throat. “What are we doing?”
“Hips up,” he barks. “Ass down.”
“They’re connected,” I point out. “Where the hips go, the ass follows.”
Shilla snorts a laugh and drops to the floor beside me. “Like this.” She stretches her body out into a perfectly smooth, flat, plank position, holding it with one hand. On her knuckles. Then she rolls to show me what Rampage wants me to do.
“If my body was one solid sheet of muscle, I could do that.” I tense my muscles, try to force myself into a position my body is not meant to go. “However, I have a weakness for chocolate biscuits, lazy Sundays on a blanket in the park, scones with clotted cream, and chicken tikka with thick, white naan bread slathered in butter. Unfortunately, it lowers my middle center of gravity.”
Rampage’s hands slide over my stomach, his touch firm, arousing my whole body with the promise of what those fingers could do if they drifted just a little lower. My mind goes hazy with desire and I can’t tell if I’m flying or if my hands and feet are still on the floor. I don’t care about jiu jitsu transitions. I don’t care that Shilla is watching us with curious eyes or that we’re supposed to be doing a group drill. I don’t care if the whole class is watching us. All I care about is feeling connected to Rampage and wanting this moment to last forever.
He lifts me right off the floor, as if I weighed nothing, and pulls me against his broad chest, my ass against his hips, feet barely touching the mat, his hands firm around my body. My stomach clenches. My heart pounds. He leans down until his mouth is so close to my ear, I can feel the heat of his breath.
“I told you not to touch yourself last night,” he whispers.
A flush of adrenaline tingles through my body, followed by a thrill of fear. “What are you going to do about it?”

Exclusive sneak peek at FIGHTING ATTRACTION!
Copyright © 2017 Sarah Castille
Jack “Rampage” Caldwell is the first MMA fighter I created for the
Redemption series, and even when I first brought this Southern gentleman to
life, I knew he had a secret. But Penny has a dark secret, too. After Jack
discovers what she hides from the world, he makes her promise to come to him if
she needs him. But trust doesn’t come easily for Penny. She breaks her promise,
never expecting that Jack will find out. But, of course, he does…and crossing a
sadist is never a good idea!
“I’ll call you back.
Jack is here.”
Cora sucks in a sharp
breath. “I’ll see you at class tonight. I can hardly wait to hear all about
it.”
I end the call and
swallow past the lump in my throat. It’s only been three days, and yet it feels
like I haven’t seen Jack in forever. He’s wearing a white T-shirt that clings
to his taut, muscle-ridged abdomen, and worn jeans that ride low on his narrow
hips.
“What are you doing
here?” I ask, trying to keep my gaze above his belt.
He pins me with a direct
stare, his eyes fierce and hard. I feel like he’s trying to see into my soul,
but my heart is pounding so hard I’m not sure enough oxygen is getting to my
brain to make any sense of what’s going on.
“Jack?”
His gaze rakes over my
body, lingering on my thighs as if he can see beneath my skirt. He tenses, and
his eyes narrow. If I didn’t know X-ray vision was impossible, I would swear he
knows I broke my promise.
“Are you alone?”
“Yes.” My pulse kicks up
a notch. “Everyone’s out for the rest of the afternoon.”
He takes a step toward
me, and the hair on the back of my neck stands on end.
“Lock the door.”
A thrill of fear shoots through
me, and sweat beads on my forehead. What if he knows? Or suspects? What will he
do?
“Now.” His deep,
commanding Dom voice ripples through me, fanning the flames of my desire. Do I
trust Jack enough to lock myself in the office with him, especially when I know
what is coming? Do I trust myself?
I brush past him and
lock the front door.
“Your office,” he snaps
after I return.
I jump at his sharp tone
and scramble out of his way as he brushes past me and through my office door, a
lithe and powerful animal herding its prey.
“What’s going on?”
“Stand in front of the
desk.” He gestures to the big oak desk Amanda and I refinished when we first
moved into the building.
Puzzled, I do as he
asks, my breath catching in my throat when he closes and locks the door behind
him.
“Jack?”
He gives me his back as
he draws the curtains at the side of my office. “Don’t move.”
A sting of
disappointment hits me in the chest. Has he come to reject me all over again?
Does he want to make sure I understand there is nothing between us? It
shouldn’t bother me because I got the message the other night. I’m nothing.
Nothing special. Nothing extraordinary. Not worth his time, especially since
he’s on the cusp of fame. I’m just his pal. Plain old quirky Pen. But he doesn’t
have to be so cold.
Worthless, no-good piece of shit.
No. No. No. My fingers
tighten on the lip of the desk. I haven’t even started to heal from last night.
I don’t need the past intruding on the present.
Jack leans against the
door across from me, thick arms folded over his massive chest.
“Lift your skirt.”
Shock steals my breath
away, and all I can do is stare.
“What?”
“You heard me. Lift your
skirt. Now.”
Bang. Bang. Bang. My heart thuds
frantically against my ribs. Adrenaline pounds through my veins, and I feel a
rush of heat between my legs. He knows. I can see it in his eyes, hear it in
his voice…
“Why?” I whisper,
stalling. And why is this turning me on?
“You know why,” he
snaps. “You didn’t keep your promise.”
I smooth my hands over
my cream skirt, silky underneath with a cotton macramé overlay, pressing it
tight against my thighs. “It doesn’t matter if I kept it or not. We’re not in
the club. There’s nothing between us. You made that clear the other night.”
“I fucked up the other
night.” He shifts his stance. “I’m not good for you, Pen. You need to be with
someone normal. A nice guy who’s going to treat you right and doesn’t want to
hurt you.”
My hand fists on my
thigh. “I don’t like nice guys. They don’t understand me. They’re too gentle.
My life is about pain. Emotional and physical pain. It’s what I know, what I
understand, what I need.”
“So you hurt yourself?”
“I didn’t—”
He cuts me off with a
scowl. “Don’t lie to me.” He pauses, and his voice takes on a deeper, cutting
edge. “Show me.”
My mouth goes dry at his
abrupt command, and I fiddle with the edge of my skirt, at once indignant that
he would try to boss me around and aroused that he did.
“What if I did?” I say
defiantly. “There’s nothing you can do about it.”
His corded throat
tightens when he swallows, and he fixes me with a level stare. “I’ll give you
what you need.”
All the air leaves my
lungs in a rush, and I feel a disconcerting wetness between my thighs. “You
wouldn’t dare. I’m at work.”
“Try me.”
Electricity sparks in
the air between us, and a curious mix of fear and arousal courses through my
veins. Stiffening my spine, I curl my fingers under the edge of my skirt and
draw it slowly, painfully slowly up my thighs. Jack stills. His eyes flick down
and then back up again. He licks his lips, and his eyes darken.
I have awakened the
beast.

From
the start this series could be counted on for sexy, uber alpha fighters, who
love as hard as they fight. And this book was no different. The characters are
awesome, the storylines are addictive and the writing is perfect. And we get to
see a little more of our favourites as well as a few of our not so favourites.
Sia
is the much loved and very over protected sister of Fuzzy, who has been quietly lusting
over the very sexy Predator forever. What she doesn’t realise is Predator more
than lives up to his name and not only has he noticed Sia’s fascination he has
his own and is more than willing to make her his prey.
As
with all of the sexy men of Redemption once Ray AKA Predator set his sights on Sia she didn’t have a
chance. But with both of them bringing enough baggage to fill a plane neither
of them is prepared to let this be more than a quick itch scratch.
But
of course there is always a twist and you will just have to read the book to
find out about it.
However
I will tell you Ray lived up to his fellow fighters with his uber-alpha talk and
his claims of mine more than enough to keep me squirming and page flipping
until it was done.
And
now I am just praying we will finally get a book for Fuzzy or Doctor Death or
well really any of them would be good as long as it’s soon.
Against the Ropes by Sarah CastilleMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Ok so I went to write my review today and realised I had highlighted as much text as I hadn't. This book was awesome. There wasn't a second from when I first picked it up that it didn't consume my thoughts. It had me laughing, it had me sad and it had me hot.
He lifts an eyebrow. “Does the friend have a name?” “Mac.” “Doesn’t suit you. Do you have a different name?”
Obviously I am a fan of fighter books but this was that and so much more. Max covered every dream guy invented. He was cocky and domineering and he growls.
A low growl startles us both. I look up. Torment’s jaw is clenched and his eyes have narrowed to slits.
And Mac was perfect. She was just the right mix of snarky, sassy and sweet.
So on that note I will leave you with the words of Torment AKA Max and tell you that truer words haven't been spoken :)
