Sexy bad boy Jude Jamison, a former prize-fighter and wealthy actor who has given up Hollywood for sleepy Stillbrook, Ohio, develops a mad crush on curvy, conservative gallery owner May Price in this appealing contemporary romance from bestseller Foster (Wild). Though May does her best to thwart Jude's bold advances, she winds up pleading for his help after her ne'er-do-well brother, $50,000 in debt, is beaten by loan shark goons. May and her brother have no choice but to borrow the money from Jude and hide out at his palatial Stillbrook estate. When Jude discovers that the terms of the debt involve a personal threat, he steps in to protect both May and himself. Jude and May are so graphically portrayed that it's impossible not to feel heat radiating off the pages, especially during their hard-earned love scenes, but their hostile back-and-forth makes their relationship, at times, forced and uncomfortable. However, neatly dovetailing plotlines and plenty of family drama more than compensate.

He's an Ultimate Fighter with a heart of gold and more patience than one could imagine. You'll fall in love as quickly as the protagonist did.

Really enjoyed this book. I read it the same day I received it in the mail. As soon as I finished it I quickly ordered the next in the series Murphy's Law. Hmmmm....Can I trade my husband for Jude?!?!

Loved it! He's an extreme fighter turned Hollywood movie star who is now living in Ohio after being exonerated for a crime he didn't commit. She's an art gallery owner, pleasantly plump and beautiful to boot, but she doesn't think he'd have any interest in her because of her size. He finds her wildly attractive, unlike the size zero starving models in Hollywood and pursues her relentlessly. She keeps turning him down until one day her no good brother's gambling debts threaten not only his life but hers, and she turns to Jude for help. Jude's more than willing to protect her - for a price. But Jude soon learns that he never wants to let her go.
