REVIEW - Sucker Punch by Eva Logan & Ashleigh Giannoccaro

The Book
Release Date: 26 May 2018
Goodreads Link

Chad King is boxing’s golden boy that didn’t shine. 

His big dreams have left him at rock bottom and when you’ve lost everything, losing becomes easy because there’s nothing to fight for. 
The love of his life left him for a life he couldn’t give her and now she’s engaged and on top of the world while he claws his way out of the hole he dug when she left. 

Lotus Shaw plays the role of the media’s darling, and dutiful fiancé to a man only her parents approve of. She should be on top of the world, but she left her heart on the floor of a fight gym. 

Now, she’s got to get it back. 

One little secret from the past is keeping her from the future. 

When they come face to face again, nothing could’ve prepared them for the sucker punch love was about to land. 
Nothing worth having comes without a fight.

My Review  3 STARS
This is the first book that i have read by either author and i think the writing between the pair is really good, you are unable to tell that their is two authors telling this story.

Chad is a boxer who has gone down a bad road and has a past that still hurts him, whilst Lola feels trapped in her current world with a nasty fiancee, a nasty father and a mother who cares more about appearances.

When Chad and Lola meet again after having been separated things come to blow.  Chad has only just started to move on with his life many years down the line and Lola is trying to claw her way out of her current life, however both have hefty amounts of anger to work through, especially as when they find out that the parents were in cahoots in separating them.

Chad has a good friend in Jason and Lola makes a few friends when she arrives in the city.

To be honest both have issues that don't really get sorted out with each other and seem to always struggle with the ever present anger that they hold.

Its a book read, but their is not much character growth.
