~Synopsis~
A 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. Can he go the distance?

~Excerpt~
My thoughts drift to creating a
fantasy of Salem and me. We’re in the locker room at Frankie’s gym and I’m all
hot and sweaty from training. I have her pinned up against the wall and she’s
completely defenseless against me, but she’s into it. Her skirt is up around
her waist and the little piece of fabric she calls underwear is interfering
with what I want. I grind my body up against hers and my dick is swelling as I
rub up on her thigh. My hands roam freely over her body, finally landing on her
tight ass. Our tongues are dueling and I’m drunk on her taste. The scent of the
perfume or body spray she’s wearing is tormenting me until I’m at my breaking
point. “God, Salem, you smell so fucking good; it makes me wanna fuck you until
you can’t remember your own name,” I growl. Her hands tighten in my hair and a
stronger wave of her scent drifts into my nose as I inhale. My chest is heaving
at my thoughts and my breathing is labored. Sliding my hand into my boxers, I
adjust myself to get more comfortable and my thoughts are almost immediately
back with Salem. Her perfectly manicured nails are clawing at my back now as I
dig my fingers into her legs. I kiss her neck roughly as she pants in my ear,
“Make me come, Saint.” Then she bites my earlobe and I lose control. I’m so
anxious to have her that I rip off the expensive panties she’s wearing and slam
my cock into her like her pussy is my saving grace. I smile when she screams in
pleasure as she comes apart in my arms.
Unconsciously, my hand slides back
down into my boxers until it meets my aching erection. This time I begin
stroking myself; I just can’t help it. Salem…there’s just something about
her…I’m not sure if it’s her beauty or the fact that I’ll have to work to get
her. But, whatever it is, she will be mine.
~Review~
I absolutely loved "On the
Ropes", Christa have done it again with this fun filled, eye opening,
romance novel. I love the fact that this story have every thing in it, sexy
lead male, comedy and a fantastic love story. Gabriel "the Saint"
Vega is a saint in every way possible. Yes I know he's a man whore, but the
fact that he spends so much time with the kids that are in trouble goes to show
how loyal he is and how loving he's to them. Mix that in with the fact that he
is sexy as all hell and we have the the perfect male character, not to mention
the passion that he's able to show through out the story. Ok now let's talk
about the comedy, you will have a lot of laughable moments too. Adrian is funny
as all hell, mix him with Gabe and we have a jokes for days. Then we also have
the steamy sex scenes, there might not be a lot in this book, but the ones that
are there are just enough to quench your sexual thirst. Why? Because Gabe is a
very naughty boy who is very vocal about what he's doing. The depth that she
gave each character is beyond words. My heart broke for Gabe, the situation
with Jase is one that takes strength to deal with. Overall, "On the
Ropes" was a very well written book, awesome job by Christa, I cannot wait
to red "Going the Distance."
