Not only is Claudia Tan skilled in writing MMA fighters (because our girl Sienna is one too), but the chemistry between the characters was off the charts too. It's hard to be with someone with the hopes of fighting their demons for them. They've got to do it on their own."

I’m not a huge fan of angst in my stories, and typical for the YA theme, this is loaded with it. But we also have growth, understanding, tolerance, and love. The fear gets in the way quite a lot but in the end, we do get a happy happily ever after, or so it seems. The two of them decide to work together to take Jax down, and may end up falling in love in the process. Kayden is the only person who can make me feel like this.He makes me cry from laughter and soothes me afterward with gentle words of expression. He makes me want to get a tattoo of him and stay in bed with him all day, floating in his featherlight kisses. He makes me feel cared for and protected and leaves no room for doubt.The other great part of this story was getting to see some familiar faces a.k.a. Alex, Daniel, Cara, and Simon from the first book! I haven’t read the first book in a long time (not since it was on Wattpad), but I had remembered some parts of Alex and Daniel’s story so it wasn’t hard to understand their dynamic in this book. I also loved seeing the close friendships formed between Alex, Cara, and Sienna! If you’ve read the books in the Perfect series, then you know that the friendships created become a central part of the found family dynamic between all the characters which I throughly love! The paintball scene was a great moment in seeing the girls and guys hang out together, and of course for Sienna and Kayden to share a moment together.

I fell in love with the supporting characters who brought a dose of banter and humor. I adored Eva Kayden was a grump with a sweet side. He could be swoony and possessive at the same time and melted my heart. This wasn't the worst thing ever, it's honestly a pretty decent Wattpad book. My biggest issue with a lot of books on Wattpad is the cringeyness of the dialogue and the writing style being pretty bad, but this wasn't all that cringey and the writing was okay, but not horrible. Like the author didn't spend half the chapter describing the heroine's outfit for the day and that she's "not like other girls" because she doesn't wear makeup. Kayden has a tender heart and a kind spirit - if not a little tainted from the darkness that he seems to carry around with him. And despite him being hot and cold with me, it's getting much harder for me to stay away." I love the characters so much. Sienna, Kayden, Brent, Evans, etc. I also love how the Perfect Illusion characters have cameos here <3Step one: convince Jax’s rival, Kayden Williams, to train with her. Step two: beat Jax at his own game. Tan writes sports romance well. She clearly knows her stuff when it comes to boxing and uses common terms to familiarize the reader with the sport and immerse them in the ring. Further, female athletes are typically underrepresented in this subgenre, so I love that both Kayden and Sierra, the two main protagonists, are both skilled at what they do. This is a story that has a lot of different levels. Many areas are ripe for the roller coaster of emotion as we deal with infidelity, family issues, anger, angst, and love.
