Synopsis
He was a devil.
She was an angel.
Two people who should’ve never met, let alone become friends, but it’s not until they give into the dangerous passion that’s been simmering under the surface for five years that things go to hell.
On the outside, Chuito ‘The Slayer’ Garcia is on top of the world. He’s successful. He’s wealthy. He's a champion MMA fighter surrounded by friends who support him, but they don’t know what he was before he came to Garnet.
A gangster.
A thief.
An addict.
A murderer.
Now his past is churning up demons he can’t ignore. Chuito knows he needs to go back to Miami to end it, but there's something holding him back, a single temptation he can't resist before leaving.
Alaine.
She’s the one drug he can’t give up…even if it destroys them both.
“To me you’re coke. Fine. Smooth. Perfectly white. Very bad for me, but so fucking sexy I don’t give a shit. It’s worth going down for.” – Chuito Garcia
~ Review by Kim ~
I love this series, so was really excited to read Chuito's story.Not only is Chu the original gangster, but he is just bad ass all the way through. Having been blessed with the UFC championship should have lightened his load. But in truth, the not quite former gang leader never really left all of Miami behind.
Chuito thinks he's the devil and doesn't want to get any of his evil on anyone. Especially his sweet, angel faced neighbor.
Alaine is in love with the sexy fighter that has lived next to her for the last 5 years. She's been head over heels for him for so long that she's thinking of giving up the idea that one day Chuito will see her, really see her.
Then one night the frustration of never allowing himself to touch the angel who is the source of his greatest test of control, Chuito let's the chain slip. But once he gets a taste, the fighter knows his fate has been set.
I really liked this book in the beginning. Chuito and Alaine had all the classic push and pull between them. The sexual tension was amazing. I found myself shouting, "kiss her already!".
But then the story switched gears and gave up all of Chuito's history. Which was good, entertaining. And meeting Tino, good grief, that man made me laugh. And Nova stole my heart.
But as I was learning what a tough guy Chuito really is. I was missing the romance aspect of this romance novel.
Eventually the book got back to Chuito and Alaine, and the author did a great job of tying it all together.
The Slayer is an entertaining read that will keep you turning pages late into the night.
He swallowed hard, and his voice was still full of pain. “I just can’t. I shouldn’t even touch you.”
“You drink,” she pointed out. “You’re not addicted to that.”
“Alcohol is not my drug of choice. It’s the exact opposite of it.”
“I’m not cocaine,” she reminded him.
“That’s what you think?” He glanced at her over his shoulder, his dark gaze running over her for one long, hot moment until it stopped to rest on the pink lace of her bra.
“To me you’re coke. Fine. Smooth. Perfectly white. Very bad for me, but so fucking sexy I don’t give a shit. It’s worth going down for.”
