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.

Fighter, fearless lover, & protector

Any additional comments?

This is the story of Ryland (MMA fighter) and Jade (professional cuddler/ex-felon). Jade had been setup by her ex-fiancé, Jake, when she is pulled over by a police officer and discovers that she is toting around drugs in her truck. She spends a few months in jail until she is released after evidence of her set up is proven. She starts her new life by becoming a professional cuddler and Ryland becomes one of her clients. Ryland is a man that gets what he wants regardless of the consequences. A push & pull relationship ends with a HEA and a couple of plot twist.

The story is different including the MMA, a motorcycle club, & a drug lord. The narration is good. You get one POV until the last few chapters where you receive Ryland’s POV in one of the chapters. For $15, it is creditworthy if you enjoy different plots, a romance in the making, & a HEA.

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!

cuddle therapy

i loved this story from start to finish it took you in and held you captive until the very end.
from cuddle therapy to mma fighting to rescue at gun point with fantatic sex and bickering thrown in this story has it all

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!!!!!

Ended too soon

I loved this book. I enjoyed the characters and the humor at just the right places. there were times I thought this might end in a cliffhanger but by the end of the book everything was tied up in a little bow. Hope there will be followups to some of the other characters and their stories.

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.

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.

Alpha MMA fighter need I say more.

Jade is an ex-con that started a cuddling business, Ryland is an MMA fighter who is in need of her services. When Jade lands in trouble with an MC gang, she is forced to go on tour with Ryland as his full-time cuddlier. I know that this may just sound silly, but it truly is a good book. Its a little slow during the first half, but it does pick up and you will just love the ending.

If you looking for a silly, sweet, and just a fun listen this is the book for you.

Want

What made the experience of listening to WANT the most enjoyable?

Want is simply a professional cuddler -- yes, I'm serious -- and a professional fighter who falls in love with each other. When I first read the reviews for this book I was really, intrigued. The plot while, very cliche was soon forgotten.I enjoyed listening to this audiobook
