Review – Memphis by Ginger Scott – Bookalicious Babes Blog

Lost souls find each other sometimes.

I’ve fallen in love with another fighter and it’s all because of new-to-me author, Ginger Scott! A master storyteller, Ginger Scott immediately ensnared me in her trap of words. Like a fighter on the mat, I was hit hard. MEMPHIS, this tender and thrilling tale, UNEQUIVOCALLY OWNED ME and was UTTERLY UNPUTDOWNABLE! I was CONSUMED by Memphis from the very first page, as every word made my HEART FLUTTER and my SOUL STIR.

Memphis, the man, oh where do I start?!? This man is gorgeous inside and out. Fire-hot and fearless. Memphis is so sexy … so stunning … so sweet … so WOW!!! I was under his spell. Memphis had my heart from the start. Memphis, the hero, is the ultimate champion of the heart … my heart … PURE PERFECTION!

There’s just something about the way he moves…like a ghost. Like a fighter.

Liz is as beautiful as she is bold but oh is she broken. I took a while to warm up to this sassy and closed-off heroine, but grew to adore her. Liz has been burned, her flame extinguished. Until Memphis ignites a fire that can’t help but burn between them…

I feel like the gladiator protecting the maiden from a storm.

The chemistry between this broken beauty and fierce fighter is COMBUSTIBLE. I felt their pull through the pages. This slow burn that enflamed.

”I want you because when I touch you I feel it in every square inch of my body.”

Electrifying, emotionally complex, and heart-hitting, Memphis is a CHAMPION of a read. This fighter romance is full of FIRE and FEELS but it’s so much MORE!!! Ginger Scott flawlessly turns hope to hopeless and merely existing or living to life in a story threaded by unexpected but unconditional love. Memphis is the story of lost souls finding each other. Memphis is blood that becomes bad and friends who become family. Memphis is survival after shattering. Memphis is EVERYTHING!!!

”I don’t think anyone else will fit you like I do, Liv … I know it because I don’t think anyone else will fit me either.”

Memphis BURNS with a PARALYZING INTENSITY felt EVERYWHERE! EMOTIONALLY EXPLOSIVE and BLISTERINGLY BEAUTIFUL, Memphis pounded its way into my heart. This raw, rush of a read made me FEEL SO ALIVE! I LOVED this fighter romance! Imperfectly perfect, Memphis was perfect for me.

I’ll fight for us.

My mom always said it was just something about the way he moved.

The same swagger Archie Valentine wore in the ring when he took his opponents down followed him like a halo everywhere he went. But make no mistake about it—he was no angel. He was like a drug. My mother was his addict.

I never understood it…how love could make you blind and convince you to drink the poison. Not until I met Memphis Delaney.

At first, it was the familiar form. He’s a fighter, built like a god from the past, the kind of man the universe doesn’t make anymore. His eyes hide a story, and every time I’m in his presence I want to keep reading him until I get to the end. And then…there’s the way he moves. His boxing is violent but beautiful, and his body is a seductive weapon. When he’s in the ring, he wears the stare of a man committed to the battle until his very last breath.

He could end me; turn me into her. Too much of him will leave me as a shadow, and I’ve lost so much of myself already.

But I have discipline. It came the hard way. Lessons learned, scars left behind, and trust stripped away from life.

I will breathe his air, but I won’t fall for a man like him. The only boxer who’s ever going to break my heart is the one who gave me my name.
