Laid Out by Sidney Halston




Sidney Halston
LAID OUT (Worth the Fight #4)
Release Date: August 18, 2015


Blurb:


Growing up an Army brat, Violet Channing could never meet her dad’s high expectations. But in the eyes of her best friend, she could do no wrong. He even insisted that he should be her first kiss. Now Cain Sorensen is all grown up, hardened by years in special ops and always looking for a good fight. Tall, with striking blue eyes and impossibly blond hair, he’s a modern-day Viking warrior. Of course, Violet’s all grown up, too, and she’s ready to surrender to his every command.
 
Cain knows he’s bad for Violet. His work is dangerous, and his hobbies are downright deadly. As a private mercenary and a mixed martial arts fighter, he could never let such an innocent soul into his world. And yet his most grueling combat training is no match for Violet’s killer curves, hot touch, and suggestive glances. Now all of Cain’s most explosive fantasies are coming true—but once they cross the line between friends and lovers, there’s no turning back.




REVIEW:
Even though this is the fourth book in the series, it can be read as a stand alone.  I read it as a standalone but could tell the supporting characters were probably introduced in earlier books but this was still a good book.  I may go back and get the other books.  It has been a few months since a book could actually keep my attention and make me want to read. This book did that for me.  I couldn't wait to get back to Violet and Cain's story.

These two along with Jeremy grew up together as army brats. These three were the best of friends.  They supported each other in every way.  Violet has always had a crush on Cain.  Upon the first deployment of Cain and Jeremy things happen and it deepens the Crush for Violet.  Cain however, knows that Jeremy has a crush on Violet.  Cain bows out and lets Jeremy gets Violet's attention. Cain thinks that Jeremy is a better guy for Violet.

Cain tries to keep his distant from Violet. He tries to keep her as a friend but is having a hard time.
 To try to help keep his distant, he takes special missions or when he is not on a mission, he treats Violet like crap.

Will these things end their friendship or will things heat up?  Go grab it to find out.

5 Stars

About Author

USA Today bestselling author, Sidney Halston lives her life by one simple rule: “The secret of getting ahead is getting started” (Mark Twain). Or even simpler: “Just do it” (Nike). And that’s exactly what she did. At the age of thirty, having never written anything other than a legal brief, she picked up a pen for the first time to pursue her dream of becoming an author. That first stroke sealed the deal, and she fell in love with writing. Halston lives in South Florida with her husband and children.

Full Contact (Worth the Fight #2)


How could she have been so stupid? When Jessica Cross decides to give her violently jealous boyfriend—the otherwise influential and charming Dennis Stavros—a second chance, she very nearly becomes a statistic. After weeks of healing from a broken rib and collapsed lung, and with Dennis behind bars, Jessica finally feels ready to come out of hiding. But will she ever be able to take a chance on love again with someone new?
 
Mixed martial arts fighter Slade Martin knows he has a bad reputation. Hell, he's probably earned it. So it won’t be easy to convince beautiful, vulnerable Jessica that she can trust him—that from the moment she walked into his life, she’s been the only one he’s wanted. Powerful and confident, Slade knows he can honor his vow to protect Jessica body and soul. Winning her heart will be another matter . . . but a woman like Jessica is worth the fight.

Below the Belt (Worth the Fight #3)


Once one of the most sought-after names on the mixed martial arts circuit, Antonio “Scarface” Marino watched his career go down for the count as he chased skirts and made tabloid headlines. Now he’s finally making a comeback, and it’s all thanks to Francesca Silva, a Brazilian bombshell as tough as any of her fighters. But who’s the real Francesca: the trash-talking trainer who rides him hard, or the vulnerable woman who blushes at his touch?

Francesca went to the mat to sign Tony because she believes he still has the potential to bring big success to her gym—if she can keep his head in the cage and out of her personal life. After a short-lived marriage soured her on love, a one-night stand is all she can handle. Now Tony’s kisses are stirring up complicated feelings—especially when he agrees to face her ex in the ring. Francesca’s used to freezing guys out. But Tony’s tempting her to give in to the heat.
