Review: Beneath The Surface

Beneath The Surface by M.A. Stacie

Description:
Kyran Reese is a man in control. Driven when it comes to work, focused when it comes to play. From his office to the chalk circle of Metro’s bare-knuckle boxing ring, his only thought is to win. That thirst heightens when Dale Porter enters his life. His brother’s assistant should be off-limits, but her witty comments and sarcastic comebacks have him desperate to get her between the sheets. After receiving an unexpected left hook, Kyran gets exactly what he wants, though he makes the rules very clear.
When Dale agrees to Kyran’s relationship stipulation of no labels, she’s sucked into a whirlwind of lust, money, and underground boxing. The agreement to keep their lust away from the office is discarded when rules are molded to suit their ever-increasing attraction. Dale fights her growing affection, trying to hide it even when the world around them spirals out of control. All too soon she realizes she can’t hide her true feelings any longer.
Kyran begins to wonder if he’s finally met his match, and with his family falling apart before his eyes, he turns to the two things he knows will keep him sane: boxing and Dale. Those crutches can’t last forever, and when Kyran finds it harder to function he is left with a decision he never thought he’d have to make.
Could playing to win mean playing for keeps?

My Thoughts:
Wow. Sometimes you think you have the characters in a book figured out and then you realize you don't! In this book it seems everyone has something going on beneath the surface that they don't want the rest of the world to know about. In the end hiding these facts will cause the world that they have carefully built around themselves to crumble leaving them to pick of the pieces and see if they can continue on or finally face what is causing them problems to begin with.
Kyran Reese has everything in order. He is in control of his company, his emotions, and his life. Then he meets Dale Porter. In one short conversation everything becomes chaos. His is suddenly lost for the first time that he can recall and begins to depend upon fighting more than ever. When things with his brother, Taylor, explode in his face he sees his well built walls crumble. 
Dale Porter is a strong woman but there is even somethings she can't handle. When both Reese brother's begin to cling to her more than ever she reaches a point that even she must walk away from. Walk away isn't quite what she does, she runs. 
Will Kyran finally fight for something other than a stress relief? Will Dale run and never look back? I can't tell you! I don't want to give away the entire story, but this one will leave you at points saying wow I didn't see that coming. 
There is a book 2 to this series, but the author hasn't said when it will be released.  I will tell you that this book does not end in a cliff hanger, but does leave several unanswered questions. I for one want to know what is going on with Taylor at the end! I'm hoping book 2 is about him! :) 
This book will not leave you disappointed. It kept my attention and left me happy in the end. Go check it out!
