Raising Ryan

Twenty-year-old Reese Johnson can finally leave her troublesome past behind. She enters college with her best friend, Gia, and spends her time doing what she loves—working as a self-defense instructor at a local gym. Then Luke Ryann enters the picture. He’s the tall, dark, and tattooed MMA fighter her boss hires to privately train her. One minute, he captivates her with his piercing brown eyes and boyish dimples. The next, he infuriates her with his relentless banter and cocky bad boy behavior. He’s the last thing she wants or needs, and she never expects to fall in love with him. 

Luke’s jaded past has him keeping a safe distance. Despite what he feels, some things are better left alone. He has a dangerous secret—one that has the potential to risk their lives. As he fights the attraction between them, can he resist the growing tension and protect the woman he’ll never be able to have? 

Recommended for mature audiences due to situations of abuse, violence, strong language and sexual content.

Raising Ryann, the first book in the Bad Boy Reformed series, isn't just a story about first love. It's filled with action, suspense, mystery, and a touch of humor.

************

Luke is a hot man whore that is changing his ways. Reese is a tough girl that really hasn't lived much - she tends to lean on the safer side. When Luke comes back into her life she doesn't know why he seems familiar but it doesn't take her long to figure out. Reese is obviously attracted to Luke but its not clear where Luke's head is. This book does go from Reese's pov to Luke's but not every other chapter so it was a bit before I found out what exactly Luke was thinking. No hot sex- sexual tension yes. 

Cliff hanger ending.
