ARC received for review

That's the most interesting job I've ever heard of anyone having. Ryland is hawt and yummy and doesn't really know the word no. Jade was skittish, and Ryland had his job cut out for him. His MMA team was great, and I hope Ms. Rider has plans for Jules and Jase's HEA.

I'd give it more stars if I could! This was sexual tension cranked ALL the way up! Love the alpha-ness of Ryland, and the effort and thought he's put into getting (and keeping) Jade :) Sweet, sexy and great action! These two together were fab. She had some hard knocks, made some questionable decisions - and yet still found the guy for her. Love it.
I did notice there were a few logistical errors in the editing (or maybe just lack of clarity) ie: the timeline of a night/to a few days, at one point he's pinning her back to his front, the next shes kissing his chest.... nothing major, but the confusion made me re-read and lose the smoothness of the story.
Anyhow, really loved it and am looking for more by Emma Rider RIGHT NOW.

I so envy Jade, for her job and her guy. Oh my, Ryland is sexy hot. And a professional cuddlier, sign me up.

Sassy independent Jade and hot MMA fighter Ryder have a lot to overcome to be together - Motorcycle Club thugs, ex-boyfriend, a crazy stalker, and more. Sparks fly in this hot fun wild read!

***5 "Snuggle Up to me" stars from me***

Well, well... That book cought me by surprise!!! I couldn't believe that it will be sooo... good!!!
I loved it and i couldn't put it down!!!
If you love MMA fighters and if you love to read a great story, this is your book!!!
It was having it all... It was funny, steamy and hot, without being too much and it was full of angst and adventure...

It was a nice company for my mind and soul!!!

Jade was having "bad luck". I really don't know how else to call her situation... She unwillingly got involved in an ugly situation and now, after a year and something later, she is struggling to continue with her life... Her debts are too many and high, so she became a little bit of creative...
She opened her own business with the name "Snuggle up to me" and she became a professional cuddler!!!

Yep, you heard right!!! And no, that doesn't mean that she was a prostitute!!! Yeah, i thought the same thing but i was wrong about it...
She was offering affection and tenderness to other people by cuddling with them... Yeah, it sounds sweet, but i don't think that i could be able to do this job. It sounds a little bit weird and dangerous, but Jade had take her measures... She even had rules....
1. No sex 2. No touching in sexual parts 3. Clothes were stay on at all times 4. Clients would sleep, but she set the alarm...
And it was working, in some way!!!

The only man that was crossing the lines was this hot famous MMA fighter... but she is trying very hard to keep it professional between them. But the troubles for her have no end, so she is forced to take the job that Ryland was offering her!!! Eight months in the road with cuddling together for every single night of them...

Wow! Good luck with that, sweetheart!!!

..."I was hired to be his personal teddy-freaking-bear"...

Hmmm... Ryland "Savage" Cole!!!
"Savage in the Cage, Savage in the bedroom"... as the rumors sayin'...
What can i say about this guy??? He was amazing!!! Even if i tried to not love him, that will be impossible, as impossible was for Jade to stay away from him, even though that she was trying really hard. Yep, she tried... I recognised that to her!!!

What was i saying??? Right, Ryland...

Ry was a beautiful man, a great fighter and a very good man...
Yep, he had his flaws too... He was a little bit possessive, he was acting like a caveman and he was taking always what he wanted. And he wanted Jade. From the first moment...

What i liked very much was his cleverness and how sneaky he was... I liked the way he was thinking and i liked even more the way that he was reacting!!!! He never gave up on the things that he wanted... He would find a way, even though there could be some difficulties.
I also liked very much his protectiveness toward Jade.

"Listen, baby doll, because i'm only going to say this once. I saw you. I wanted you. So i found a way to get you. It may not be the way you're usually approached, but i knew at that time of your life, you didn't want a man. You hold back. You hold back a whole lot. The truth is i didn't want a woman either. I don't want to want you, but i want you too much for you to get away."

Well, as you already understand, i really loved that book. I loved all the characters, even the secondary... They were all of them amazing, but i loved more Jade and Ryland. They were fitting so good together... and i don't mean only in sexual part.

Their interactions were full of surprises that kept me all the time on edge... Jade didn't want a man after what she was been through before, but Ry was a very insistent bastard...

I also want to say that i didn't like Jake at all. He was a mean dickhead and what he did not only one time, but twice was unacceptable!!!

And OMG, i was feeling so bad for Jade after all those shit that she've been through!!! She was a true fighter...

"I need you to understand, baby doll, i want something, i find a way to get it. I wanted you, i got you. Still want you, even with the trouble you came with. You're worth the fight."
(Ohhhhhh!!! Isn't he sweet???)

Will we have a second book??? If we will, i definetely want to read it!!!

Note: If you liked "Real" by Kate Evans, you should totally read this book!!!

***ARC kindly provided via NetGalley for the exchange of an honest review***

I really enjoyed this!! Jade's business is unique and her situation with Ryland is even more so! Speaking of Ryland, phew that man is HOT! In all honesty this isn't a terribly world changing book, but it's a fun fast paced delightful read with an amazing alpha male character, an unconventional female lead and interesting side characters. I find myself wanting more on Jules and Jase and seeing more of The Savage and Jade would be great too. This was a complimentary e-copy provided by the author and publisher in exchange for a honest review via Netgalley.

I love a good MMA fighter story. The awesome cover was what attracted me to the story at first. Thankfully, the story lived up to the cover. It stays off with Jade. She has made some poor decisions in the past resulting in a loser ex and some undeserved prison time. As a result, her job prospects are non-existent, and her legal and other bills are pulling up. She borrows some money from a friend and uses her education in psychology tho open her own business...a cuddling service. No, you didn't hear me wrong. I did say a cuddling service, affection for those who lack it in their daily lives. No sex allowed. Yes, I agree, it's a strange notion, but just go with it.

Ryland is a famous MMA fighter and a client of Jade's. He wants her ask to himself and offers her an exclusive contract. Jade resists at first, but quickly changes her mind after a run in with a dangerous motorcycle club leaves her in need of money and a place to hide. Ryland senses something is wrong but let's her keep her secrets...for a while. The more time the two spend together, the more Jade risks breaking her rules and falling for Ryland. She also fears how he will react when he knows all her secrets. She would give everything to protect him from the fallout of her life, and end the end, she may very well have to.

I love, love, love this story. Ryland was super sexy with his alpha tendencies, gentle touches, and MMA bedroom moves. Jade was everything Ryland needed. She was a cuddler and a talker, and Ryland was a man of action with little time to even speak compete sentences. They amused me and made me smile. The suspenseful subplots also kept things moving quickly and the excitement building. It was a great read.

I received an ARC from Net Galley.

I love, love, LOVED this book. It has everything you could possibly want in a book there was romance, action and an alpha male that has me swooning every time I think about Ryland “The Savage” Cole.

There is enough suspense and action in want to keep the moment going but what I really loved was Ryland's utter devotion to Jade. She was skittish and rightly so considering what she had been through, However, Ryland was persistent and so hot and romantic that you knew he would never let her go.

This is the first Emma Rider book I have read but it will certainly not be my last. I found myself completely encompassed in Rider's world and can not wait for the next book as not only were the main characters interesting but the secondary characters are just as enthralling.

I recommend this book for anyone who is looking for an Alpha Male to burn up their kindle.

I'm so glad I got to read this amazing story. At first I wasn't sure, if this one was for me but that quickly changed once I started reading it.

The story starts of with Jade and how she re-invents her life after the disastrous mess her ex fiancé left her in, by starting her own company that provides professional cuddling service. One of her clients happens to be Ryland “Savage” Cole, who is also a MMA fighter and soon the opportunity arises for Jade to go with him on his last tour and be at his disposal 24/7 as his cuddling buddy. After some troublesome events that force her to accept his proposal, their love story takes its course.

I got confused a few times because of the writing style, it wasn't as fluid as I'd liked it to be. The present/past intersections of h's story were at times too sharp and sometimes I wished for a more detailed scene, so I'd have a clearer picture of what was going on, especially the action scenes.

That being said, I loved H's character and his determination to get his woman. He never wavers in his pursuit and after they (finally) get together I really liked his way of showing her what she meant to him. The h was at first not my favourite character. She was too stubborn and kept pushing H away for over half the story by finding excuses as to why they shouldn't be together. She won me over after SPOILER being kidnapped. END SPOILER I felt like we got to see a whole new side of her.

There's romance, action, angst, loyalty and of course we also get our HEA. All in all a great read. :)

SPOILER ALERT Safety-gang: It's a safe read. There is some OW/OM drama but nothing too serious. In the club scene, after H won his fight, h sees H just as one OW makes a move on him but he makes it obvious that he doesn't want her. In another scene, we find out H has a stalkerish ex (H had a one night stand with her in the past, who he deeply regrets) who then ends up in a cat fight with h. Then there's some drama from h's ex fiancé, and since he owes some bad people h get dragged into his mess.

Brutal kind of anti hero that just makes you quiver!!

Want is a story about a woman on the run from her past and a man who will do anything to win.

Jade is making a new start in life, including her new business of cuddling with clients. What she can't get passed is how one of her clients pushes her more than she wants. She's not looking for a man after the betrayal she's gone through. But Ryland, he is sneaking in and keeping her professionalism is getting harder.

Ryland is a professional MMA fighter who is going to go on tour. He wants Jade with him to basically be at his beck and call. He'll do anything to have her and when she learns the depth of his deceit will hers come to light too?

She's hiding things from him that will lead them both into trouble if she can't come up with a way to protect them both. Running is the best way, but love wasn't in the cards before. now that it is....will they survive?

I Love a good MMA story and this one didn't disappoint. Jade is a great character and professional cuddler - if I didn't worry about safety, I might have a new career path :) Ryland is an overbearing alpha male that I couldn't help but love!

Want hooked me from the first pages after a reading slump of trying a few books and getting frustrated. I can't wait to read more from Emma Rider and hope some of the supporting characters in Want get their own stories.

I really enjoyed this book the characters were really good it made a Chang to read a book about a fighter that had no cheating and is low on angst. There a bit of suspense to keep you interested This the first time reading this authors books but I will definitely read more from her.

4.5 Savage stars

Loved this one. Especially Ryland and even Maverick, I would love to be in the middle of that sandwich!

I admired Jade trying to make the most she could of a shitty situation, you found herself in all sorts of drama. The sexual chemistry had me fanning myself reading this and egging them on to get to the nitty gritty.

Can't wait to read the next book, loved Emma Rider's writing style

Who knew that there was a cuddle business? It is a good idea if done safely. How this couple's relationship starts out is cute. This story had me laughing, biting my nails a few times, and then laughing again. I was completely engrossed in this story. I didn't want to put it down before it was done. These two characters start off slow in their relationship, even though there is some strong chemistry. They fall in love and have to jump a few hurdles to get their HEA. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to more of this author's books.
I received an ARC of this book from the publisher for an honest review.

Wow! I haven't found a book in awhile That I absolutely love, and I love This book! Ryland did everything he had to do win the girl.....jade was dealt a crap hand, but she had made the best of her situation. You will get the hea you long for in this book.

An honest review thanks to NetGalley...

I loved this book, it was a nice fast read, filled with chemistry induced main characters. I like the whole MMA fighting scenes, the author really did well with the plot, and professional cuddler? So cute... the secondary characters were amazing as well, this was the first book by Emma Rider that I read but I wanted to know more about Jules and Jase. the reason I didn't give this book five stars was because of the beginning. I thought there should have been more backstory, it starts by all of a sudden Ryland showing up at Jade's apartment, I wanted to hear about the first time he hired her and the sessions after that. It felt as if I was missing a big chunk of their story right from the get go.

lol This story made me laugh. I didn't know what to make of the description and so curiosity made me take a deeper look. I'm really glad I did. The plot is unlike anything I've read and I read a lot! It was fun, sexy, emotional, and funny. I definitely want more from this author! Let me just say that Ryland is definitely one of my top book boyfriends of the moment. :-p

ARC provided for an honest review.

Want is another excellent MMA story. The writing was great and the whole story just waaaaaw. It’s great that MMA was not the main picture of the story but Jades cuddling business. It was hot it was intense it was suspenseful and it was hilarious. I laugh so hard loved the inner dialog of Jade. I loved that the story was really full of surprises just when I thought something is going to happened bam it happens right the opposite.
Everyone who like hot MMA fighters with strong sassy heroin the story is just right for you. Highly recommended!
*ARC provided by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review

This book was a total wow for me. I want my on Ryland. I loved both Jade and Ryland characters. Jade was tough, funny and strong and Rylad was tough and sexy. I hope you do a book for Maverick and Jase. I love anything MMA and MC. I will definitely read other books by Emma.

First, before I even get into what I thought about this book... Professional cuddler?!?!?! Ummm.... I have to be honest... I googled it. Is this a real thing?? Does it actually have therapeutic benefits?? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?!?!? I kid you not. This through me off for a little bit. And yepp, it is real and yes it is said to have benefits for those suffering PTSD and other disabilities.

Okay, onto the book...

It's starts with a classic story. Girl loves boy. Girl and boy get engaged and start a life together. Girl gets degree. Girl finds out boy is a lying slimeball. Boy sets up girl with drugs in truck of car. Girl gets arrested and spends time in jail. Girl gets out of jail with a mountain of debt and becomes a professional cuddler... You know, happens all the time.

Jade started her business, Snuggle up to Me, to help people (and herself). She is determined to make it on her own and remain free. She screens clients and has contracts with them to protect both her and her clients. She has rules and boundaries with them all. One client that pushes her boundaries and actually makes her FEEL while they cuddle is MMA fighter Ryland "The Savage" Cole.

Ryland is heading into his last year of competitive MMA fighting and wants to go out on a high note. He has worked hard to reach the level of success he has. He is the type to know what he wants and set a plan on how to get it. And he has his sights set on Jade. His "plan" on how to get Jade is a little... unorthodox, but I understood where it was coming from.

By the end of the book, you understand more of the "professional cuddler" aspect of the book. Want was a good romantic read with some pretty steamy scenes. I hope Emma Rider writes Jase and Jules story!!

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

Fun and hot!

A cuddle a day keeps the fighter…happy.

I started Want with my tongue firmly lodged in my cheek. A cuddler and a fighter??? OKaaaay... Yes this chick is a professional cuddler. It makes sense…kind of. I’m the first person to admit that there is nothing better than a cuddle from my hubby and kids, but a complete stranger...not sure. Maybe if her services included a play with my hair or tickle my back package, I’d think about it. Off the beaten track (as I'm wont to do)…I had a full time back tickler. When I first married my hubby, he played with my back every night before I went to sleep. It lasted 15 years, then I realised it had lost its specialness and I took it for granted. Now I’m back to, on special occasion tickles and I love it even more. Now this is the part I get about the cuddling business…it’s not about sex. It’s about the connection, catching up, chatting and dedicating time to each other. A person connecting like that with a complete stranger… I didn't get that. By the end of the story though, I could actually see where this sort of job has a place.

The story starts with us meeting Jade and she’s in a spot of bother. It's the old story of - you think you know someone, and then you find out all the things you thought you knew, were maybe something you dreamed up. She was engaged and loved a man named Jake. He was leading a double life and that life put hers in jeopardy. What once was a promising start…engagement, new house and university degree, became tarnished just from knowing and loving the wrong man. Jade is trying to make a new start but with study debts and expenses for her new business, she’s struggling. Her new business called Snuggle Up to Me, was started because no one else would give her a chance considering her record. Her clients were varied but seemed nice…lucky for her. One of her clients does make it harder to keep her cuddles platonic. Ryland is intense...and he wants more.

Ryland is an MMA fighter. He has worked hard to get to the level he has attained. Once he has his sights set on something he won’t take no for an answer and his sights are set on Jade. His strategy to get her onboard with his plans were a little unconventional but gave me a few chuckles too. From the start you can see that he cares for her and is looking to protect and help her.

This story is about seeing Ryland finish his career on a high and getting Jade to a good and safe place beside him. Jade's protective barriers need to be taken down for Ryland to have a chance, but he's willing to fight for her. The connection between Ryland and Jade was slow to cement, but you could see that her fight and his determination would lead them to a HEA.

To some extent I felt like Jade’s character was a lot sillier than she should have been. Considering she had a degree, and part of it in psychology, she could not read people well. Most of her problems centred around misjudging people. This along with a few other eye-rolling plot points made it hard for me to be fully invested in the story.

I did enjoy the quirky characters. I loved the hot and determined Ryland, the friendly and sweet Tyeesha, the brash Coach, the supportive Ben, Maverick the scary biker and the reserved, workaholic Jules.

This was my first story by Emma Rider and while it wasn’t perfect, I still enjoyed it for the light-hearted, feel good romance that it was. If she was to share Maverick’s story along with Jules and Jases’s story, I think I would definitely go back for more.

Hot MMA Fighter ... need I say more? :) Yes, this book is intense, sexy and a knock out of a read! I got a chuckle out of the premise of the book, but the characters drew me in and I ended up liking them and cheering them on along the way.

Jade Andrews is a Professional Cuddler. It's not what she went to college for, but it's what's paying the bills at a time when no one else will hire her. She's been lied to, cheated, and taken for quite a ride over the last couple of years and for once she just needs thing to go right for a change.

Ryland Cole is a champion MMA Fighter, known as "The Savage". He's a tough guy ... and if he sees something he wants, he gets it. When he sees Jade, he instantly wants to claim her for his own, so he sets plans into motion to do that.

Jade's friend is in trouble, and she needs money to help him get out of it. The only big offer of money she's had lately was from Ryland, to accompany him on his fight tour. She turned him down, but now has no other option than to warm his bed every night for the next few months if she wants to help her friend Gus

Whoa, mama. What a great story. Enjoyed!

I found this book very interesting. It had very interesting characters. The heroine was sassy and cool while the hero was hot and a bad-ass. The profession of the heroine was a little awkward, but overall it worked for them.

Sassy was talking about an ARC she got on a book where the heroine was a professional cuddler. I was all like "Say what? A professional cuddler. That sounds really odd." Then I realized I had an ARC for it too. Hmmm..... I seriously wasn't sure about it. I mean, it wasn't throwing up flags like the book about the MC Club Girl which turned out really good (at least the first one was good - the second one, not so much), but it still set off my "possible lame h" radar. But what could I do since I had an ARC? So I read it.

Jade was a mess. Quirky, cute, obviously strange (pajamas with sushi pictures on them...just saying that's strange), and definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed which is unfortunate since she had one seriously screwed up life and needed as much brain power as possible to get her through her situation unscathed. I'm not saying she was TSTL, but she obviously missed out on the "Make Good Choices and Think Things Through" gene. Still, I ended the book kind of fond of Jade. She was unbelievably (and kind of stupidly) loyal, had a great big heart, and she never, ever gave up. These are things I can respect and like about a person/character no matter how brain challenged they are.

Ryland was your typical alpha hero. He saw what he wanted and after he had her thoroughly investigated, went after her. He's determined, if a bit unconventional. Some of his actions caught me by surprise. One of his decisions was pretty freaking stupid, but he did everything he could to put Jade first and take care of her, which pretty much guaranteed a certain fondness for him too, no matter how dumb I thought something he decided to do was.

Want would make a great guilty pleasure read, or a beach read. You'd need to be about 3 or 4 Coronas in though before reading it. Why you ask? Not only because of the less than smart h/H, but so you don't notice the huge crater of a plot hole at about the 78% mark. Needless to say that plot hole bugged me and nagged at me throughout the rest of the book.

It was an interesting story and introduced me to some great characters who hopefully sometime in the future will get their own books.

I'm wavering between 3.5 to 4 stars. That gaping plot hole is holding me back even though the story is cute and I really liked it. Insert big sigh here. I hate plot holes and this one just made absolutely no sense.

Spice's Rating: 3.5 stars.

I LOVED this book. LOVED. The hero was perfect. I did get frustrated with the heroine, and honestly I had a bit of an issue getting past her unique profession, but sincerely the hero was Kristin Ashley quality. There was great buildup with the couple, and a dedicated hero that never waivered from what he wanted. I can't wait for the next book...I am assuming there is a next book...Is Jules next? I would like her to be!

4.5 stars

The heroine, Jade, is feisty and sweet and has some of the worst luck I've encountered in a character. She doesn't curse and uses words like heinie, derrière and bootie. Bless her heart! But she has a decent head on her shoulders and does her best to hold her own.

After she finds herself in a spot of trouble, thanks to her rotten ex-boyfriend, which leaves her relatively unemployable, in order to make ends meet Jade has starts her own business. As a professional cuddler. I gotta admit, I grabbed this story for that plot-line alone. I've heard of cuddle parties, so this was something intriguing to me.

The hero, Ryland, is a super sexy hottie Jade takes on as a client. He makes her job both difficult and highly enjoyable. Jade tries to maintain professional boundaries, but he's having none of that. It's clear he wants her. She wants him, but won't embrace her desires. She holds out as long as she can but you can pretty much guess how that turns out.

There's MMA fighting action, bikers, guns and kidnapping. What's not to love! This story was a fun read. It was a blend of action and suspense, lighthearted and a bit gritty. Oh yeah, and the sex is blazing. Four and a half stars.

This is one of the most entertaining book I have read in a long time. I am totally in love with Ryland. The man is HOT! Can't wait to read more from the author.

Jade spent 4 months in jail for something she had nothing to do with and she is trying to get back on her feel. SInce she cannot get a job with a record, she decides to start her own business. She borrows money from a friend and a little from her parents and has opened a business as a professional cuddler.

Ever heard of it? Me either but the research she did encouraged her. The client has to sign a contract and there are rules: no sex, no touching under the clothes and keep it professional.

She is having a hard time with one of her clients though. Ryland "The Savage" Cole, a MMA fighter. He is just getting to her a little more every session.
One night she goes over to her friend Gus' home and let's herself in after knocking once because she knows he likes to play video games with headphones on. That isn't the case this time. He is getting worked over by a couple of bikers because he stole money from them. Jade finds out he gave her the last of his money and feels responsible so she makes a deal with the bikers to pay them back.

She had gotten a job offer from Ryland, to tour with him for 8 months. She immediately said no at first because he is getting to her but after the scene with Gus and the bikers she changes her mind. With this job, she will have enough to pay the bikers, her parents and a couple of other loans.

She has been getting phone calls from her ex but has ignored them, she figures he will go away She goes home to find her apartment total trashed and torn up. She doesn't know who would do this.......her ex? ......the bikers?

She leaves on tour with Ryland that night. Can she keep it professional???

I have to say, I totally loved this book! Ryland is a total hottie and he even made me feel steamy! He doesn't like to hear no though and this causes some disagreements between he and Jade. Oh but how they settled them.....

There are some great characters in here. Jules & Jase, Maverick...I see stories in the future!

This is definitely one for your TBR list! It's awesome and I will certainly be checking out more of Emma Rider's books. Her writing is great!

Thank you for the opportunity to read this book.

This review will be posted on Goodreads and Amazon.

Kindly provided with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.....

God I have been a busy reader, ploughing through my ARC's and I must admit that when I read the synopsis for this book I was sold.....
I am a sucker for books featuring HOT MMA hunks, with their Alpha "I protect what's mine" ethos. Ermmm I think I just pushed back the women's lib movement by about 100 years fluttering my eyelashes loving the caveman take charge attitudes.

Quickly moving on......

I loved the concept of a professional cuddler. I just found it highly amusing !! Quite the idea there Jade.....well done especially as it leads you to Ryland.

*Sigh* *whimpers* *grins* HE MADE THIS STORY FOR ME !!.....need I say more ?.

The ultimate protector faces the ultimate sweetie who just needs the right hunk to "do right by her" !!! She deserves it with all her misfortune !!!! (that's putting it mildly).

Loved the banter, LOVED the other MMA guy's....yup just loved it !!!

Hopefully Emma will give us more of these beauties !!!

Well done Emma for a awesome read ! ;0)

Thank you Negalley for the opportunity xxx

Later peeps xxxx

In this book, we follow Jade as she has to take a deal to be a different kinds of 'friends with benefits' with MMA fighter Ryland so that she can save one of her friends who owes a large debt to some dangerous people.

The book is interesting in the fact that her company is something different that I haven't heard before. She has a company where she provides comfort to people who need it. At first it may seem like a crazy idea but as you get to know more about Ryland you can understand why he needs it. It contributes to why he became a fighter.

Being in close quarters with someone makes it hard for them to keep the relationship professional and they aren't able to keep their feelings to themselves. They connect in ways that neither one of them expected and once the fire begins it's hard for either of them to stop.

The climax is quite interesting as everything is building up to this big event. When the climax actually comes, it's a little slow to develop and quickly over. I had hoped that it would have been better especially considering the fact that Ryland was involved. I knew that he was in love with Jade and I had hoped (expected) him to lose more control be more 'power hungry' especially considering the passion he shows her when they are together.

It's a quick and entertaining read, but I don't know if it has the capabilities to being read multiple times.

At first glance I was like "what is a professional cuddler? What a stupid premise. I was surprised at how well this actually worked. I never did quite fall in love with the idea as a whole, but it made for a new fresh topic I had not read yet. Let me start with Ryland. I have not been so drawn to an MMA fighter since Remy. I often go back and forth between bikers, mafia and fighters. Ryland did not disappoint. His need to protect Jade was swoon worthy. Jade , was a really great character. She was strong, when she thought she was weak, she brought herself back from the lowest point in her life. I just fount her grit and determination really inspired. I love the chemistry between Ryland and Jade it was electric. Keeping a professional distance is impossible when you have someone who will not let you go. I really enjoyed this story.

ARC provided by Netgalley in exchange for a honest review.

Jade has the worlds most unusual job. But it works for her. Knowing that she is safe from her past she is fine with how people perceive her. I mean when you job is a professional cuddler you get to meet some creeps.

So when one of her regulars wants her to come on the road with him she really can't say no. It doesn't hurt that he's Ryland the Savage and he's one hell of a hottie and it doesn't hurt that he's paying her enough to help pay off her friends debt.

Ryland wants Jade and won't stop at nothing to help her. Even if it means falling in love and taking on her responsibilities for himself.

I loved this book. It was unique and had such strong compassionate characters. I can't wait to read more about them and their friends. Especially if it contains a super sexy bad ass biker. I sincerely hope that we get his book next.

I received an arc from Netgalley for a honest review

I just finished Want and I'm happy to say, I really quite enjoyed the story and the characters. I thought Jade (the h)had unique job (professional snuggler) but the author made it work. The H was fantastic but sigh, I wish there was more from his point of view. The story while not unique (other than professional snuggler, job) was written well. At times, throughout the story I was wanting a bit more but overall I enjoyed this story.

Thank you for the chance to review this story.
