Meet MMA fighter and Piper Sullivan's roommate extraordinaire, Kelly Black, in this South Boys Novella. This story takes you on Kelly's Black journey to love and overcoming a broken past. Approximately 24,000 words, it can be read as a standalone or for more enjoyment, can be read along with Southbound Surrender.
MY REVIEW:
This story is about an underground ring
fighting. Kelly James Black is a 24 year
old Research Scientist with past family issues that lets off steam by fighting
in these fights. He sees his therapist who
tells him that it is better to do the fighting in the ring then it is to do it
on the street and get arrested like he has already once.
One of his best friends and roommate is a
student and a girl names Piper Sullivan who is dealing with her own family
issues and is crashing on his couch after one night she helped him home after a
night out of fighting and drinking too much.
He made a pass at him she refused it she put him to bet and fell asleep
on his couch to keep an eye on him and never left. She plans on fixing him. They argue and he says she is the little
sister he never had.
Then one night at one of his fights he
sees and meets the one and only woman that has ever really rocked his world and
is starting to change his world in a positive way. She too is a student ready to graduate soon
and she is in the life sciences program and she is a yoga teacher. He is changing his thinking around her for
the good. But…
Although I liked this story to me it
really felt like I was left hanging. You
know with so many unanswered questions, I just really don’t enjoy that feeling.
I like that Olivia stood by him for Kelly
he was able to work through some major issues in some ways but had a whole lot
more to go through.
As for Piper, I really felt like there was
this past love she was pining over that she was in love with Kelly too. I am not sure she or even Kelly got it. Maybe not but that was my take on it.
It all just seemed so rushed too. I understand it must be a novella but
still. So I chose the middle grown with
giving it a rating a three star.
