SWOLLEN: A Secret Baby Sports Romance

Something worth fighting for.

Jasmine

I’m not the kind of girl that usually goes home with strange men, but Liam Dougherty isn’t the kind of man you can easily refuse, either.

Not only that, he saves me from something even more dangerous, and then gives me a night of passion that easily makes up for it.

A night that has consequences neither of us can ever imagine.

When I see him again, almost an entire year later, just the thought of that night is enough to catch my breath in my throat, our daughter Maggie is already two months old.

I’m not the only one with a secret, however, when Liam reveals his past and proves just how dangerous he can really be.

An illegal, bare-fist boxer with a debt to pay, Liam’s life makes mine look like a walk in the park.

I know I should do everything I can to stay away from him, but something about him makes me keep coming back.

Secret or not, when Liam sets his eyes on me again, he makes it clear that nothing is going to get in his way of making sure I’m his.

Above everything else, he knows how to win, and right now he has something worth fighting for.

Liam

There’s not much good I’ve done in this world, but when I see Jasmine getting hassled by three men in a neighborhood she shouldn’t be walking home alone in, I figure it’s my opportunity to set things right.

If there’s one thing I know how to do, it’s fight for my own survival, so when Jasmine gets mixed up in my world by chance, I have to make sure I protect her too.

It’s been almost a year since I tried to keep her away from me the first time, and now she’s back, I want her more than ever.

I’ll do anything to win her over because I’ve never met anyone that gives me a better reason to fight.

Jasmine and I have a connection, and I can’t ignore it anymore.

I’m dangerous, but she knows it.

Really good short story

While there are elements of menace, there isn’t a lot of action. This is a story told with intelligence in the storyline and characters. Yes, there’s some very sexy parts, but not over the top.
I really like both Jasmine and Liam, and I can recommend this story without reservation.
Solo does a good job of narration.

Cute Short Story!

This was my first Stephanie Brother's book. This is a short story and despite that, the author has done a great job to develop the story. The main characters, Liam and Jasmine, are great together and they share a strong chemistry. I appreciate that the author didn't add dramas to the story. This was a sweet and well written story and I enjoyed my listening. The narration was well done and easy to listen. I received this free review copy at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Good

A cute little meet not so cute. Uncomplicated and sweet. Gruff sweety meets tough capable girl.
