Every beautiful thing Ray “The Predator” touches he knows
he’ll eventually destroy. Soft, sweet and innocent, Sia is the light to Ray's
darkness—and completely irresistible. From the moment he lays eyes on her, he

soul.

Today we are pleased to sit down with Ray “The Predator”
Black and Sia O’Donnell, the protagonists from Sarah Castille’s Full Contact
(April 2015). From March 30th through April 20th the
couple will be on tour answering questions about their relationship!
Complete this
sentence: It must be true that opposites attract because my partner and I are
total opposites when it comes to ___________.
Ray: Pretty much
everything: health, fitness, and sleep. But I love her just the same.
Sia: Relaxing.
Seriously, Ray doesn’t know how to relax.
My thoughts:
The Redemption series has been really enjoyable so far. Each can be read as a stand alone. I have read the first two and really enjoyed them. I liked Full Contact for the most part. It was definitely a little more frustrating of the series. While I liked Sia and Ray together, I did get a little tired of the push and pull between the two of them. I kind of made me question their HEA. As for Sia, I liked the decisions she made to take back her life. Her past was devastating, so seeing her finally realize she is a survivor was a great moment! I look forward to the next book!
An Excerpt
Ray grabs my wrists and pins them to the mat over my head, his
body angled over me. My breath catches in my throat, and I steel myself for the
memories, the black rush, the heart-pounding fear, but it doesn’t come.
Instead, a red haze settles over my vision, and I press my lips together and
buck my hips, throwing him slightly forward.
Bad plan. Now his groin is only inches away from my face. He’s
still wearing his jeans, which means that bulge isn’t a cup.
“Ray...”
His face softens. “I hurt you.”
“Yes, you hurt me. Keeping secrets hurts
me. It makes me feel like you don’t respect me. And it makes me feel like I
can’t trust you. So maybe you could return to your proper seat now. Tray table
up.”
He shifts down, settling his weight over my hips, but he doesn’t release
my hands. “I hurt you. Means you care.”
I swallow hard and meet his gaze. “You hurting me means I was
being stupid. Things were going where I didn’t want them to go. Now I’ve had a
wake-up call. You have secrets you can’t share. You need to protect your
secrets. I need to be with someone I can trust, and I need to stand on my own
two feet. It’s just not going to work between us.”
His gaze darkens, searing me to the core. “You want to be done? Or
are you scared and trying to push me away?”
The air shifts between us, electrifying, tightening my nipples and
heating my blood. I am hyperaware of his thighs tucked against my hips,
carrying most of his weight as he sits astride me in a dominant MMA position.
My wrists, hot under his palms, press against the cool mat, restrained in a way
I could never have imagined allowing them to be restrained. My chest rises and
falls twice for every one of Ray’s breaths, and my core tightens. The innuendo
isn’t lost on me. God, yes. I want to be done in the carnal sense of the word.
But only by Ray. And I don’t really want to let him go.
“I don’t want to lose you.”
Ray’s hands tighten on my wrists, and he leans down and brushes a
kiss over my lips. “I don’t want to lose you either, but I live in a dangerous
world. I’ve got stuff in my life that would make your head spin. I need to
protect you from that, and I’ll do what it takes to keep you safe, even if it
means you hate me for it, because for the first time in my life, I want
something more than doing my duty. I want a life and I want you in it. I’ve got
one bad guy to catch and then I’m free. And after I’m done and after what went
down this evening, you’ll never have to worry about being safe again.”
Finally, he releases my hands but I don’t move. Heat sweeps
through my belly. I feel both vulnerable and curiously safe lying beneath him.
My gaze shifts from his intense gaze to his sensual lips, and my breasts swell,
remembering the touch of his hands, the gentle press of his lips. He wants me.
Not just today, but tomorrow and the tomorrow after that.
“You make it sound like I don’t have a choice about being with
you.”
“You don’t.” He leans down and kisses me with a savage fierceness
that takes my breath away.
