RELEASE DAY BLITZ: On the Ropes (Down for the Count #1) by Christa Cervone

On-The-Ropes-461x732A murderer’s child…A foster child…A troubled teen…Gabriel ‘The Saint’ Vega has never had an easy life. Being shuffled from one foster home to another after his father murdered his mother, he found himself in and out of trouble with the law. Never giving a damn about himself, let alone anyone else, his life was spiraling out of control; fast. Until one man and one sport changed everything. Frankie Carbone taught Saint how to handle his anger and rejection; by fighting it out in the ring. On his way to stardom, Saint finds himself pushed into the spotlight and into the arms of more women than he can ever imagine; he’s completely content with one night stands and random sex. Then Salem Harris comes walking into his life and changes his game plan. Saint finds himself wanting Salem in all the ways that scare him. She is off limits; taken. But that doesn’t stop Saint from going after what he wants, and he wants her. Frankie showed Saint a new way of life with Boxing, but will Salem give him the one thing he's never known – love? Will Saint find himself fighting for the one thing he thinks he doesn't deserve or will Salem end up breaking his heart? Gabriel ‘The Saint’ Vega has had to fight for every good thing he's gotten in his life.

REVIEW BY JAIME FOR MNP On the Ropes (Down for the Count, #1)On the Ropes by Christa Cervone
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this book for an honest review.

I will be honest that the story was slow to start.
I stopped reading it and went to something else and kept coming back to this book.
In this book there are a few spelling/grammar issues.

This story is about Gabriel "Saint" Vega.
He has a had a rough life and thanks to his friend and mentor Frankie, he is living a life free of drugs and jail.
He is an up and coming boxer getting ready for a major fight.
He is talking to a guy named Blaine who wants to sponsor him and have Saint be the face of his gym.
With Blaine comes Salem, the hot girl who is invading Saint's mind, dreams, and life.
Salem does everything to avoid the Saint until he is the only one there for her on a bad night.
He takes care of her, and something changes between them.
Salem and Saint grow closer but she is still with Blaine.
Jase Vega comes back and Gabe tries to help him with his drug problems.
They are finally together after so many years of being separated.

Will Jase and Gabe build on their new found brotherhood?
Will Salem dump her stupid cheating boyfriend Blaine?
Will Gabe and Salem find their way to each other?
