Review of In Sly's Eyes: In Sly's Eyes Marco's MMA Boys Book 2 by S.M. Donaldson

Kara Chambers plays by her own rules, she has since she graduated high school. Knowing from experience that her body wasn’t one that guys wanted to keep around, she’d drop them before they could drop her. One night, that’s all she ever gives. One night and she’d be able to get the sexiness, known as Sly Webb out of her system. No complications, no awkwardness, just one night. Yeah, right. 

Sylvester “Sly” Webb is living his dream, working full time at the gym for his surrogate father and now, a big MMA league wants to sign contracts with them. What else does he need? His best friend, Lox, is newly engaged to a great girl, but that commitment shit has never been for him. He’s always believed in the “hit it and quit it” system. He doesn’t need a full time woman messing up his plans. He damn sure doesn’t want someone like his mother, who never let him or his twin brother slow down her drunken social life. 

Until meeting Kara for the first time, she threw him for a loop. All of that voluptuous sassiness made his head swim. Then she came to his fight and followed him home, but what happened next was something he thinks he’ll never understand. Now, he can’t get her out of his head. In his eyes she’s perfect, but how can he prove that to her? 

Overall Rating:  4.5 Rockin’ ★★★★☆

Life is good for the boys that work at Marco’s Gym!  They are a family and it doesn’t matter that they are not blood.  In this remarkable book by S. M Donaldson you are once again emerged into the life of cage fighters and the ones they love.  In Sly’s Eyes the focus is on one of the twins we met in Ms. Donaldson’s first book in this series. This is Sly and Kara’s story and the kinks they have to work out in their relationship to find their HEA!

Kara cannot believe that she has once again been lied to by a man and that she had allowed herself to be drawn into his insanity.  Beaten, bloody and bruised by her abusive boyfriend, she has no choice but to get away from him before he kills her.  She turns to her best friend and her friends from the gym. One of those friends is the man of her dreams, Sly.  Sly is the man that she will never let see how she feels about him because she would never survive if he betrayed her.

Since meeting Kara for the first time, Sly has wanted to get up and personal with the feisty, curvy woman. Something had caused Kara to keep him from getting close to her and since he was enjoying the player lifestyle he would wait.  When he got the call about Kara being in the emergency room because her douche of a boyfriend had beaten her, Sly cannot contain his fury. Things really heat up when Sly is given a chance to show Kara how he feels about her. But will he be able to keep her safe from her abusive ex?
