*I was given an ARC by the New Adult Read and Review It in exchange for an honest review.* 
 R.J. Prescott doesn't sound like any one else. Her books have a really specific mood and feeling-- in part because they are set in such a close, well-defined world around this one gym for Irish boxers. They've got their own language, manners, and honor code among the "brothers," and that's compelling. I read Con and Emily's story in the first two books and found them unforgettable because of that distinctive voice and mood. It's swoony-- very high drama love-at-first-sight, eternal devotion kind of stuff-- and she sells it even when I don't normally much like traumatic back stories or damsels in need of rescuing. In this book we get Kieran and Marie's story and it's a little lighter than the first: Kieran is a cheerier, more even-tempered guy and the plot has a less vicious villain. My only hesitation is that the books are getting a little repetitive. Even though I love this mini-world I wish Kieran didn't have to follow so exactly in Con's boxing footsteps. I also wish the heroes didn't have to growl at anyone who looks at "their girl" in order to prove that they love them etc etc. Both Emily and Marie are pretty infantilized, though admittedly that is accounted for in their backgrounds. So, in short, Prescott's writing is impressive enough to make me overlook the flaws-- again. The books are not realistic or believable but somehow they keep you hooked.
