Publisher's summary

Savage in the cage. Savage in the bedroom.

Powerful. Brutal. Mixed martial artist Ryland "The Savage" Cole doesn't play by the rules. He wants it. He takes it. And he wants Jade.

Professional cuddler Jade has not only been hurt but also deceived by the one she once loved. She's not going to make a mistake again by giving her heart to a man. Especially since she's now free.

When a motorcycle club threatens her best friend, she puts her life on the line in order to save him, but in order to do that, she must spend every night in Ryland's arms.

WANT is a full-length contemporary MMA romance, a stand-alone, and has no cliffhanger.

VERY BOSSY MMA FIGHTER...Yes Please!

If you like a VERY bossy, dominant, alpha male, this is a book for you! Ryland is an MMA fighter who knows what he wants and takes it...not really giving anyone a choice. Jade keeps finding herself mixed up in everyone else's trouble and is just trying to lay low but once again that plan doesn't work. I enjoyed the story, the writing & the steam in this book! It was a little predictable but still a fun read with a lot of sexy scenes!

The narration was awesome! Rebecca Roberts is an awesome narrator, I love both her male & female voices! She makes a good book great because she helps make the story come to life and pulls you in from chapter one!

THIS WAS SUPER GREAT!!! LISTENED ALL NIGHT LONG!!!

Would you consider the audio edition of WANT to be better than the print version?

Always is...but I only listened!

What did you like best about this story?

I liked all of it...I listened all night long!

Which scene was your favorite?

That first night of the tour, when Jade was like "I hate you!" Because she realized she had been fooled, and knew Rylands team already!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed at Jade and Rylands relationship all the way through this book....

Any additional comments?

** I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review **

This was a great story!! I listened all in one sitting, staying up all night to do so! Jade is a professional Cuddler...I looked it up...it is an actual business!!! She meets Ryder a MMA fighter who becomes a client of hers...he is quite taken with her, and they have undeniable chemistry....Well Jade has a past and it is slowly coming back to haunt her, not to mention her good friend is in big trouble with some bikers...So when Ryland want her to exclusively be his on call cuddler for his final tour she has to say yes even thought she knows she is in deeper with him than she should be!!!

GREAT STORY AND NARRATION...LOVED IT!!!!!

Great story!

I really enjoyed this MMA romance. Jade is a professional cuddler who has not been lucky in love. Ryland is a fighter who needs to be cuddled. This was a fast-paced and exciting story, expertly voiced by Rebecca Roberts. Lots of action, and an inside look at the world of professional MMA fighting.

Loved it

Easy listen, with good narration. Consisted of all the elements making up a good romance novel. Great female lead, with strong character making the alpha male even sexier. Would recommend.

Unexpectedly good :)

I didn't expect to like this book because I thought it may follow predictably annoying plot lines. But even though they end up in the end just as you want and expect - the journey was enjoyable. :) I love a good self aware heroine with a strong and tough man love that doesn't take his 'love' too far in the possessive or corny corners. They were well thought out characters and the plot has a lot in it that all ties up neatly at the end. Great listen :)

Hot, Hot, Hot!

Emma Rider KNOWS how to write HOT stuff without being gross. lol The story of the MMA fighter and professional cuddler was a good one, although it bordered on an unhealthy side of possessiveness. That being said, the possessiveness was accepted and explained very well on both sides so, being an independent and strong woman, I didn't really find any insult with this. Her description of the fine side of MMA fight (yes, I am a fan), not to mention the fine bodies was right on. Rebecca Roberts did another fine job of the narration. I love her ability to be able to channel the emotions of both the men and the women in her voice and let us all know what they are thinking, feeling, as well as, what they are saying.
I definitely recommend this one!

Erotica...with some violence

Would you try another book from Emma Rider and/or Rebecca Roberts?

One of my favorite genres is erotica...and this book does (eventually) satisfy. However, the building of the plot required the naiveté of the main character in order to create a plot for seduction, which I found unbelievable, given her prior circumstances. I'm also not a fan of boxing/violence so this may not have been a good fit for me. However, the characters were clear, thanks to the narrator, and creativity with each character voice made it easy to follow along.

Would you be willing to try another book from Emma Rider? Why or why not?

I'm not familiar with any other titles by Emma Rider, but I'm always glad to try out any new erotica stories. Seduction is key. I'll be curious if she has other strategies for creating the allure and art of seduction.

Which character – as performed by Rebecca Roberts – was your favorite?

Surely the main character is the fav for me. Putting myself in her position was unfamiliar territory...but I'm always glad to feel "seduced" through the character's experiences.

Could you see WANT being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

It's possible to make this story into a movie...but the boxing plot would have to be an even bigger part of the story and thus, of little to no interest to me.

"Want" makes you want for more.

Interesting storyline. Different and great characters. Wanted to order another Emma Rider book on Audible because it had a little of everything and I wanted more. Not any others. Disappointing. I'll just keep checking.

Surprise Yourself

An enjoyable read. Jade stops short of being TSTL by being too nice, but not syrupy. Ry has just the type of personality you expect of a successful entrepreneur. Roberts has just the right voice for the narration. I don't believe her southern accent was written into the story, but it so fits Jade.
