Wildfire Knockout (The Predator Series) by Brooke May – Review by M Policicchio

Wildfire Knockout by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you are following this series you understand that this story is all about Beth and Scott. If you are not following this series, you should first stop, step back and read Predator parts 1 and 2 to figure out who all the characters are. This novella about Scott and Beth is so emotional and filled with growth and laughter and second chances. It is beautiful.

Beth is following her dream of becoming a professional boxer under Chamberlain’s guidance and team. When K.C. gets pregnant, Chamberlain decides to take the season (not something I realized that boxers have) off and stay at home with K.C.. Scott and Beth head out on the road for the season and her fights. Between the bouts and the training and just the close proximity, Beth and Scott start to become frenemies. That eventually leads to them not hating each other and a friendship.

Through this time with Scott, Beth is slowly healing the wounds that needed to be healed on the inside so that she could figure out that she could, in fact, love again. Scott’s patience helps get Beth there. One night Beth opens up about everything, all the horrible-ness of her past and why she has been keeping Scott at arm’s length. Scott tries to help Beth understand that none of it matters. That he can love all the broken pieces of her until she is whole or put back together again.

Some big stuff happens (can’t tell you what, you’ll have to read the book for that). Beth finally tells K.C. all the dark and horrible-ness from her past. K.C. tells her that she loves her and that she is her sister because Beth loved her when K.C. didn’t love herself. It was a tearfilled moment.

Not sure where this series goes next but I am here for it. Love these characters. Not sure about everyone. I still don’t trust that everyone has the best intentions but we will see. Oh….If I hadn’t already said it, read this book. It is really good!
