About this listen
He scared me. He thrilled me. And after one touch, all I could think about was getting more . . . Makayla never thought she'd set foot in an elite mixed martial arts club. But if anyone needs a medic on hand, it's these guys. Then again, at her first sight of the club's owner, she's the one feeling breathless.
The man they call Torment is all sleek muscle and restrained power. Whether it's in the ring or in the bedroom, he knows exactly when a soft touch is required and when to launch a full-on assault. He always knows just how far he can push. And he's about to tempt Makayla in ways she never imagined...

Once I saw Marnie Long, a sassy, sultry, charismatic older woman in a bar, I couldn’t peel my eyes off her. I wanted her. At least, for one night. I’m way too busy with my career these days for anything more. As it turned out, after recently getting burned, Marnie was on the same page as me—all she wanted was one night of fun. I was happy to be of service. What I didn’t expect during our night together, however, was how deeply we connected. Also, how much I was dying to see her again the next morning.

He stirs fear into the hearts of men, but I hear his rage. I feel it like it’s my own. He’s a killer. Shameless. Some might even call him a psycho. I just call him soul mate.

Pine River was supposed to be a new start for me. And it was, especially attending school with my three overprotective cousins, who were the triplets at the top of the social hierarchy. Except they weren’t alone there, and the first day when I came to school, I saw him. Scout Raiden. Tall. Lean. Tattooed. Mesmerizing. He was a golden god with dark and piercing eyes—looking like he wanted to eat me up. The feeling was mutual, and that was a problem.

Maddox - The reason I rarely go home is three simple words: I'm a liar. When the pressure to marry my childhood sweetheart became too much, I told her I was gay and then fled to New York like my ass was on fire. Now, five years later and after a drunken encounter, I find myself invited to her wedding. And I have to bring my boyfriend-the boyfriend who doesn't exist because I'm straight. At least, I think I am. Meeting the guy I'm bribing to be my boyfriend for the weekend makes me question everything about myself.

Charlie Davenport is the bad boy of British tennis - and third in line to the throne. He's a beast on the courts and a wild animal in bed (according to all the tabloids). Girls are lining up for chance at his crown jewels, and when I stumble into the wrong Wimbledon dressing room and catch a glimpse of his game, set, and match, I can see why. So what's a little good luck kiss between friends (I mean, strangers)? I know better than to get involved with a bad boy like Charlie. But now he's on a winning streak, he thinks I'm his lucky charm.

Story
Forced to Bloom is a BBW Alpha Male Billionaire BDSM Romance. Rachel Malinsky has been curvy as long as she can remember. BBW, voluptuous, Rubenesque... she's heard all the sexy ways of describing her figure, but a string of previous boyfriends nonetheless left her for thinner women. Frustrated, she decides to try something she's read about in a popular novel trilogy, not realizing that doing so will change her life forever in ways she can't possibly imagine. Rachel isn't certain the "Billionaire seeks submissive" ad in Craigslist was actually placed by a billionaire, nor does she know if ...

Sixty days of total submission. No safe words. No limits. No holds barred. Sixty days of your body being used and abused and pushed to extremes. Then you were free to go, no further dues, thanks and goodbye. And your bank balance looked seriously healthy for the experience. I should never have been tempted. Not for a second. Not after hearing the brutal tales of what happens to you. But I had to. My sister desperately needed the money. Needed Me. I’d just never have guessed in a million years that soon enough I’d be needing him. The beautiful stranger.

One of the best books I've read in a Long time!!
Would you listen to Against the Ropes again? Why?
I would definitely listen to this book again. This was such a good book I couldn't put it down. The story line was romantic, exciting and not what I expected at all. Well worth every penny or credit you have.
What other book might you compare Against the Ropes to and why?
Bella Andre books are very close to the storyline in this book. So steamy, hot and kept you on the edge of your seat the whole time just like Bella's books.
Have you listened to any of Lucy Rivers’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have never listened to Lucy Rivers before but because of her excellent reading, this made the book for me. She knows exactly when to heighten the narration and when not to. This really makes a difference.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me cry when Max & Makayla split up when he left her in her bedroom alone.
Any additional comments?
I normally don't praise a book this much but this book is well worth the credit and I am so glad I purchased it. I hope Sarah Castille writes more books like this one. I could not put it down because I didn't want to miss anything and I couldn't wait to hear what was next. I couldn't get enough. I want more please!!!

Good but sometimes silly
This was a good listen but sometimes was a little silly. Yes I laughed but also said "really?" I guess the author didn't want to keep it too serious the whole time because it did have some very emotional and serious parts. Overall it was a good book/listen and I liked the narrator .

Took too long to develop
I enjoyed this book, overall, I just wish the H/h would have sorted their conflict earlier, in the book. It would have been nice to enjoy the cohesive relationship more than a couple of chapters, of the book.
The narration wasn’t bad but, Ms Rivers struggled with making the many male voices sound different, and some were pretty lame. I hate to be critical about narrators because I realize that narration is difficult skill to master and it is a skill I am envious of.
I have enjoyed other series, written by this author, so I’m going to continue with this series even though this book wasn’t all that impressive to me.

THIS WAS A WEIRD ONE FOR ME….
I decided to take a chance on this audiobook since it had a lot of good reviews, but once I was about 20% into it, I was having a hard time figuring this book out. It seemed like a parody to me because most or all of the relationships are very exaggerated. To the extremely punishing female boss, to the mafia-style debt collector to the slutty-wild but "gorgeous" best friend….I mean I could go on and on. Even when it comes to the hero Torment (or Max) he can be something likable to everyone (depending on what you like in your alpha male) because he's an MMA fighter, a hot biker, billionaire venture capitalist, and Mr. BDSM in the bedroom. The heroine, Mikayla (Mic) is corky, dorky, but cute in her own way. This story is taken from her perspective and the girl sees the world through a lens of humor…very exaggerated humor, even during the dangerous or serious moments.
I decided that the reason I finished this audiobook was because I thought the best parts were when Max and Mikayla were together and well when the romance is good, I'm typically interested. They have plenty of things to work through in their relationship, but overall, I thought they had good chemistry and their romance was interesting. HOWEVER, I could NOT STAND Mikayla's friend, Amanda…or Dr. Drake. Ok, this is a bit of a rant on my part, but here goes---- I am not reading her book which follows this one. She is not a worthy heroine, AT ALL….I didn't find her to have any redeeming qualities. Amanda has a great thing going with her boyfriend Jake (MMA fighter), she tries to manipulate him in bed, he doesn't give in, so she breaks off with him and sleeps with Dr. Drake who wants Mikayla. But, Amanda's generous, I suppose, (major eye roll) since she kept offering to let Mikayla "have Dr. Drake" if she wanted him, as he's so kinky in bed and Mikayla needed to loosen up--- Ugh, Amanda just grossed me out. And, most of Mikayla's stupid decisions were made when she was with Amanda. I also thought she put her friendship with Amanda before her relationship with Max. Anyway…..there were countless times I thought this would be a DNF for me, but I pushed through because of the romance……So, overall, it gets 2.5 STARS for the silly, moderately steamy, and interesting romance between Max and Mikayla.
Narrator: Lucy Rivers did a decent job. I think her exaggerated voices for some of the MMA fighters and characters was in line with the writing in this book--both kind of weird…especially when the leads texted each other in 3rd person. On these parts, narrator sounded like a cave man????--Not sure…. This whole book was just overall kind of weird experience.

Above average, but didn't exactly get there
The leading lady is struggling in life...she doesn't really know her place in the world so she is at a dead end job, with a string of dead end boy friends, she has just been playing it safe in life not willing to fully go after any one thing. Enter the hero of our story...Torment...yes that is his MMA fighter name and it suits him! He's damaged due to his past, she is damaged due to hers, can they heal each other or is the damage too great for either of them to have a happily ever after?
I liked this book, don't get me wrong...it had many great qualities that I like in a book. A dark hero, a lady in distress, and some kink...but it just didn't tie together like I thought it should. I can't put my finger on it, it just didn't all come together...maybe it needed to be longer, or maybe this is a fluff story trying to be deep and missing the mark?
I'd still be willing to read book 2 about Jake and Amanda, but it isn't on my list of dear God when is audible going to get that book!
Still, if you can catch it for a credit or on sale I say go for it, it was enjoyable.

So Sexy and Fun
I never know to go with another book from a series I'm listening to or taking a chance on someting new. So I took a chance and I'm so glad I did. This one has great characters and narration. I find myself grinning in places and also loving the steamy sexy parts. This is a great listen. I will be looking for more books from this author and hopefully more from other characters in this book.
