REVIEW: Naked Choke by Vanessa Dare

Naked Choke by Vanessa Dare: Without knowledge of pasts just a couple of mutual friends a nurse practitioner and a retired MMA star begin a journey. Emory and Gray have something special and they can both see that from the first time they meet, the problem is that they are both a little wary of what that really means for me. Then Emory appears to have some “troubles” and all bets are off while Gray needs to protect her. In protecting her person will they be able to protect their hearts?

Ms. Dare has given her readers an amazing novella with this story. The amount of depth she is able to give both the plot and the characters in such a short amount of time is amazing. She gives enough information for the unknowledgeable to understand what they need to about MMA without being so overwhelming as to bore them. This is a great story with some sex, though not erotic by any stretch, it is great for those who love sports romance, second chance and just a bit of danger thrown in for good measure.

Trapped at the bar during her best friend’s engagement party, Emory finds herself with Mr. Dud and his obnoxious pick-up lines. That is, until sexy Grayson Green steps in to rescue her. She’s been out of the game so long that she’s practically a dating virgin. With her son off to college and her husband now an ex, Emory is learning how to be not a wife, not a mom, but a single woman. What she doesn’t anticipate is falling—hard and fast—for a dominate, alpha male.

Grayson Green’s an MMA champion, used to working hard and playing harder. He spent years in the limelight where fast times and fast women were easy to come by. Women just want to screw him and men want to be friends with the infamous Green Machine. The appeal is gone and he steps out of the ring to make some changes and get control of his life. He runs his own gym and is a trainer for the next champ. All the training in the world can’t save him from the one-two punch of meeting Emory. She’s different. She has no idea who he is…and she wants him anyway. She’s everything he never knew he ever wanted and he’s going to do whatever it takes to keep her.

Gray convinces Emory that there are no games with him, that he wants to take care of her, protect her, and pleasure her until she can’t see straight. But not everything from his past are championship belts and sponsorship deals. He’ll have to protect her from the one thing he can’t control. Gray will do anything to keep Emory because he knows that winning in the cage is nothing compared to winning her heart.
