Blog Tour Review: Brawler by Scott Hildreth

I have to say, I freaking loved this story.  Each time I pick up a Scott Hildreth book, I fall in love with the characters that he creates.  And let me just say…Jaz is one bad ass you can’t help but get behind.

I wasn’t sure if I was going to like a story centered around a female boxer.  But Jaz was a girl who took the only outlet to save her from an abusive father and turned it into a career that brought her the ultimate family.

Jaz meets boxing trainer Ripp and Ethan by coincidence.  But that coffee shop run in changes the course of her life.  She find, in Tripp, a man who believes in her and is determined to help her reach her dream.  With Ripp, she finds a family with him, his best friend Dekk and their trainer, Kelsey.  But it’s fellow boxer, Ethan, that grounds Jaz.  Shows her how a man loves a woman and becomes the heart of the boxer.  With these strong men, they help build up te broken woman that Jaz was into a truly confident woman who can do whatever she wants.

I loved the dynamics between the characters.  Jaz wasn’t a delicate woman, but somehow these men could equally prove how much of a woman she is at the same time that she truly is a bad ass.  As remarkable as Jaz is, she became so much more because of this group of men that surrounded her.

Scott Hildreth is a master storyteller.  I highly recommend all his books.  Their highly addictive and I often find it very hard to put them down until I get to “The End”.

I had decided I would tell Ethan what my concerns were, see what he thought, and make my decision on how to proceed with matters based on his responses. I didn’t expect him to commit to me, nor was a sure I wanted to commit to him, at least not yet.

As ridiculous as it sounded, I wanted confirmation that he intended to continue fucking me. I didn’t care what we chose to call our situation, I was concerned with more important things.

The most important thing.

Cock.

“How long have we known each other?” I asked.

“A month. Give or take.”

“Things have changed between us here lately, and I want to discuss it.”

He looked worried. “Okay.”

“We’re fucking now.”

He returned an awkward stare. “Is that bad?”

“No,” I said. “It’s not bad, it’s just. I don’t want it to stop.”

“Okay.”

Ethan wasn’t opposing me, but he sure wasn’t making me feel comfortable that he was vested in our conversation, either.

“I’ve got this fear that you’re going to walk away, and I’m going to be…”

It seemed strange telling him I was concerned that his big cock was going to ruin me from being able to be satisfied in the future. The longer I struggled with choosing the words to finish my sentence, the more ridiculous the entire conversation seemed.

I was mid-sentence into my explanation, and I wished I hadn’t even started our little cock talk.

“I’m not going anywhere.”

I appreciated the reassurance, but I wasn’t convinced. “Give me a second. I wasn’t done with my thought, and I need to think of how to say it.”

“Okay.”

My brain was mush. I’d never been one for beating around the bush, and there was no sense in starting now.

“You’ve got a really nice cock,” I said.

He seemed embarrassed, but eventually he smiled. “Thanks.”

“Really nice. And. Well. I was afraid that in a few weeks I’d be ruined, and then…you know…it’d be impossible to be satisfied in the future.”

There. I said it.

He stared back at me as if waiting for me to continue. I returned his stare, waiting for his response.

His brow wrinkled and his eyes narrowed. “I’m lost. You said a minute ago that you didn’t want to stop doing it. Then, you said if we continued, you’d be ruined. Did I hurt you or something?”

“Hurt me?”

“Yeah.” He gestured toward my crotch. “Tear your junk up?”

My junk?

“No.” I chuckled. “You didn’t tear me up.”

He looked confused. “So what are we talking about?”

“I said I wanted some commitment from you that you weren’t going to just…I don’t know…walk away. You know, that you weren’t planning on hittin’ it and quitin’ it. Not that that’s never happened, because it has. But if it happens with you, I’d rather it happen now than after a while. I just don’t want to be left, you know, struggling to have orgasms later in life because I’m all hung up on thick cocks and I can’t find one after you’re gone. I know there aren’t any assurances in a deal like this, but I was wanting…I was hoping that you’d tell me that you weren’t planning on…” I cleared my throat. “Are you going to fuck me again?”

His eyes went wide. “Wow.”

I scrunched my nose and glared. “What?”

“You are a girl.”

“What do you mean?”

“You fight like a man. You walk like a man. You talk like a man. Well, when you cuss, anyway. But that? Whatever that was? That was one hundred percent girl. It made no sense whatsoever.”

“Which part?”

“All of it.”

I had explained everything. For as polite and as attentive as he was, he was a complete man.

Never paying attention to what a woman says.

Born in San Diego California, Scott now calls Wichita, Kansas home. Residing in Kansas with his wife, Jessica, and six children, he somehow finds twelve hours a day to work on his writing. 

Addicted to riding his Harley-Davidson, tattoos, and drinking coffee, Scott can generally be found in a tattoo shop, on his Harley, or in a local coffee house when not writing.

Scott is a hybrid author who both self-publishes and conventionally publishes. Look for a three book (mafia erotic romance) series releasing in 2016 through Harlequin Romance.

Loyal to the fans, fan girls, and faithful followers who allowed him to make writing a full-time career, Scott communicates with his followers on Facebook almost daily. He encourages his readers to follow him on Facebook and Twitter.
