More like 2.5 stars. It was more than Okay, but I can't really say I overly liked it.
After a lifetime of being overweight, Caitlyn Moore has recently lost eighty pounds. She still sees the old Cait when she looks in the mirror. So when MMA fighter Dante 'Inferno' Jones, in town to train for the titled, shows interest in her, she doesn't know how to react. Dante is immediately attacked to Cait, not only because she beautiful but because unlike all the other women who hang around the sport, she seems shy and doesn't throw herself at him.
Dante is there to train for his fight and the distraction of pursing Cait hurts his performance. When Cait realizes Dante could not only lose his trainer, but also lose everything he's been working towards in gaining the title, she accepts a date with his opponent, Sentori, in order to get him angry and shake him. But it doesn't work. They fall in love, but not before Sentori pulls a couple of things to mess with Dante's head and break them up.
The reason for my rating is because I felt like Cait ran way too much for Dante to keep trying. I get that he saw something different in her than the other women in his sphere, but she was really a little too hard to get. He had to do a lot of chasing and a lot of bolstering her up in order to spend time with her. I get that she wasn't used to it, but she really made him work for it. To the point that I was annoyed with her.
I also didn't like the fact that the author let Sentori do what he did to Caitlyn without letting us know that he suffered the legal ramification of his actions.
But aside from all that, I just didn't really feel the connection between the two of them. It just felt like it rushed and he fell in love with her to quickly.
