Gillian Noode has her work cut out for her. As the president of the SBC, Drew Black has a well deserved reputation for being bold, brash, hot tempered, and foul-mouthed. The owners of the SBC want Drew to be more mainstream and believe Gillian is the publicist that can accomplish this goal. How will Gillian react when the sparks between them ignite? Lori Foster shows yet again why her books are loved by so many readers! BACK IN BLACK can easily be read as a stand alone. Fans of the series featuring the SBC fighters will relish the thought of Drew finding a woman who can handle him. Newcomers to the series will get an excellent taste of the SBC, both the fighters and the debates over the sport itself. Drew is the public face of the SBC and a man who is both crude and caring, sometimes at the same time! His controversial presence may offend some but Gillian looks beneath his rough exterior to see the man with a heart big enough to donate both time and money to charity. Part of what makes Lori Foster such a good author is her willingness to explore characters who aren’t perfect and Drew and Gillian show how well that can work. In fact, it is the very humanness of Drew and Gillian that make them so likeable. Lori Foster adds depth to the storyline of Drew and Gillian with a bit of romantic suspense. In addition, the romance of Brett and Audrey as a secondary storyline is quite touching although Brett is almost too good to be true! However, it was the inclusion of WAVS (Women Against Violent Sports) that really captivated me as it gave another side to the sport and showed the hypocrisy of extremism. BACK IN BLACK is a phenomenal romance! Lori Foster has crafted a world around the SBC fighting world that is both believable and captivating. I can’t wait to read more! Highly recommended!
