Scandalous headlines threaten to turn Jamie Kent from a pop star to a pariah on the regular, but this latest one is a little too close for comfort. The Asylum Fight Club seems like a good place to hide out…until he has to prove he belongs – deep in a lifestyle with a contract and rules he breaks within the first five minutes. Staying means complete surrender, but a lifetime scripting love songs … songs didn’t prepare him to give his heart to the one man who claims everything he has to offer.
The day he returns from prison.
Reputation has its own kind of power in a place where pain and pleasure depend on who’s in control. Entangled in the lives of those he’d give anything to protect, Noah Leonov rarely takes chances, but the hardened fighter refuses to abandon the vulnerable new sub to vultures who could tear his life apart with a camera flash. With the cage where he spent two years fresh in his mind, Noah won’t trap the man he loves in his brutal world. Jamie deserves the glamour and fame, where he can have more than a broken man can provide.
He belongs in the spotlight.
Neither man ever had the choice to decide their own destiny. Imprisoned by the roles they’re forced to play, their key to freedom might be to do the unexpected.
Refuse to let go.

Jamie is a pop star hiding at the Asylum. Noah is an ex-con. Jamie is not prepared at all for the BDSM club. Noah is well respected at the fight club. He is tasked with helping Jamie assimilate, but Jamie’s is always in constant trouble. I seriously loved that two. It was an awesome story and cannot wait to read more of the series! I am voluntarily leaving a review form an advanced copy that I received. My reviews are solely based on my thoughts and opinions.
Noah and Jamie’s story had me swinging drastically
(not kidding I was an emotional wreck by the time I finished)
between loving and loathing – not only the cast, the story line itself!
Guys what the heck!! I know you are not ignorant
– a touch out there maybe –
but the absolute blind stupidity you displayed …
He is still your friend – Your Family
Ok maybe I’m still a touch angry
I’m going to step back – breathe for a bit then I’ll be back with my thoughts
First just to let you know this does have the sweetest melt in your mouth HEA ending!
That being said it was also a bit of an emotional roller coaster.
If you have read the previous books – which I highly suggest – then you know Noah was originally psychologically warped to serve his Uncles beliefs (okay I might be just a smidgen prejudice against dear old Uncle).
This topic is covered in this book, we get more than a glimpse of Noah’s demons, the nightmares that ride his waking moments.
We get a true understanding of how his past has shaped him.
Jamie …
The kid didn’t have a chance.
He was a commodity before puberty.
I don’t think the author could have chosen a better relationship combo than Noah and Jamie.
Both were manipulated to serve someone else’s purpose.
Both were missing a piece of themselves, something the other offered, but neither was truly aware of it.
I think Doc might have found his subby – just saying
This installment is not for the weak of heart. Noah has been through hell and thinks that now that he is out of jail things will automatically go back to the way they were. Well, he isn’t the same and neither are the ones he left behind. Enter pretty pop star Jamie Kent and Noah’s fragile hold is threatened even more. This story is a terrifying emotional roller-coaster ride. The authors take you to some really dark places before coming to a wonderful conclusion. I really enjoy this series and am anxiously awaiting the next installment.
This book, this is really three stories in one, all centered around Noah and Jamie. Noah is set-up as a legend at the Asylum, but his reality isn’t matching his reputation. Jamie and Noah though, they have that connection. That is our first story, the Jamie and Noah met and fit together story. Then it all falls apart, and as much as I liked Rhodey (Noah’s uncle) before, I didn’t any more. We get all the connections, the reasons behind the legend, the making of the man that Noah is now. Jamie learns about himself, and how to make his connections with those who are important to Noah. Noah and Jamie still fit, but there is the larger family that has effects. That is the second story. We finally get how it all works, and then it doesn’t (cue the tears and tissues), and how Noah and Jamie have to make decisions and choices, for themselves, for each other. And I absolutely despise Rhodey at this point, and even by the end of the book, not sure, he has a lot to make up for. Noah and Jamie get their HEA, but it isn’t paved with gold, unicorns, and rainbows, it is jagged rocks, thorns, and tornadoes, and they make it because of the other, solidifying their love and connection to each other!
We get more from our previous characters, Lawson and Matt, Curtis and Reed, a lot of Wren and Doc (Jared). The boys are growing up and Ezran and Garet are getting ready for college. Tracey absolutely is around for her boy, and her brother, the aforementioned Rhodey. And by the end, there is a kitty cat, so you know it was an awesome book
