Undefeated - Sd Hildreth - Bog

"If something or someone is presented to us once, we will often dismiss it as being nothing more than happenstance. If that person or situation is presented twice, it is God slapping us in the face and telling us to pay attention. It is fate." Since she was sixteen years old, Kace Meadows has known love hurts, literally. Now, after ten years in an abusive relationship, Kace is realizing what she has isn't love or a healthy relationship. No matter what she does, she can't win. One day, while in an argument with her boyfriend in public, she meets an unlikely hero. Shane Dekkar is a cocky but rather modest unknown boxer. Growing up in Compton, California, he knows what it takes to be tough, street smart and how to fight. He battles his inner demons in the boxing ring and has never lost a match. After losing his grandfather he moves to Austin, Texas. Almost immediately upon arrival into the new city, Shane witnesses an argument between Kace and her boyfriend. When he tries to intervene, he is assured by Kace it is simply a disagreement. Shane's instinct tells him otherwise; he sees the pain and fear in her eyes as he watches them drive away. When they meet by chance again two years later, Shane sees their meeting as fate. Will Kace be able to walk away from the abusive relationship she has been in for over a decade? Is it possible for her to find comfort in the arms of an alpha male boxer? Will Shane be able to conquer his inner demons and settle into a relationship? "Hildreth's writing is a perfect balance between understated, precise storytelling and a bare-knuckled, in your face, street riot of color, words and images. Every scene is paced so gorgeously that by the end of the book you are both begging for it and utterly satiated. I'm telling you, this man can write." - Goodreads review by Shanyn "The hottest & sexiest inspirational story ever written!! Scott Hildreth's knowledge and understanding of real emotions, fears, psychological scars, courage and healing are so precise. His gifted writing style pulls you into the scene and you feel every single emotion." - Goodreads review by Beth West
