Strike (Sphere of Irony Book 2)

 

Privilege, poverty, death, and self-loathing; these are the backgrounds of the men of the internationally famous rock band, Sphere of Irony.

Dax Davies has one job to fulfill in the Davies household. Earn money at the family business. The problem is that the family business is illegal underground fighting.

From a young age, Dax and his brothers are groomed to become money earners in their father's club. Broken bones and bruises are commonplace. Their father pits the brothers against each other to 'toughen them up' for the ring. His future is in the cage, not on stage where he dreams of being.

Kate Campbell loves one thing in life. Well, two. Soccer and Dax Davies. Growing up in the poorest part of London, soccer is her personal escape from reality and the fact that Dax doesn't seem to know she exists. She figures if she can be good enough at it, maybe she can get away from Hackney, and leave the poverty behind.

Kate doesn't plan on ever getting a chance to know Dax as more than an unattainable dream. After a mutual acquaintance brings them together, it only takes one ill-fated night at the fight club tear them apart.

Kristie -

I read this book as a standalone, I will be reading book 1 now <3

 

This is my first read of Heather's. The story was unpredictable which is a huge plus for me. Dax is all kind of sexy and closed off and angry. He's an underground fighter and musician. Both main characters come from poverty which again is a change of pace. I loved Kate, it was refreshing to have a character that was the girl next door type, athlete, low self esteem, that sounds bad, but I guess the word would be REAL! This book was sexy without being smutty. I would recommend to anyone who loves romance. 4 stars from this redhead!
