When tragedy strikes in the ring, Giovanni Bravo falls into a deep depression, walking away from his dream of boxing to train instead. He agrees to a two month get-away, helping train Felix Sanchez, his high school best friend and now welterweight champ of the world. Once at Felix’s lavish boxing complex, he’s reunited with Bianca Rubio, someone he remembers only as the girl with the innocent doe eyes back in high school. Her refreshing, cheerful demeanor not only takes Gio’s mind off his troubled conscience, he finds himself falling for her fast and hard. The problem—Bianca is Felix’s girlfriend.Having a sexy, famous boyfriend has its perks, but they come with a price. Bianca not only has to deal with the ongoing tabloid rumors about her boyfriend hooking with other women, but also his constant absence when he is on the road. So now that Felix will be in town for two whole months to train for his next big bout, Bianca is thrilled. He’s even asked her to move into his cabin while he’s there. But when he leaves for days at a time to promote his fight, Bianca spends time getting to know Felix’s gorgeous new trainer and good friend, Gio. Increasingly drawn to his sweet smile and smoldering green eyes, she finds herself saying and doing things she normally wouldn’t.As it becomes more and more difficult for each to resist the other, Gio crosses the line between them. He hopes that one kiss will alleviate the overwhelming temptation and clear both their systems, but it does just the opposite. Their temptation suddenly becomes an obsession—a dangerous obsession that can only lead to heartache—for everyone.

Summary
Giovanni Bravo's life has just taken a turn. After a tragedy, he has decided to give up boxing. When his old friend, Felix Sanchez, offers Gio to come up to his compound in Big Bear for two months, to train with him, his friends urge him to go. Little does anyone know that this decision will once again change Gio's life in both good ways and bad. With these Alpha guys there always seems to be quite a bit of life changing drama when you throw a beautiful girl into the mix. Bianca Rubio felt so special. She was dating the famous and popular Felix Sanchez. She had to learn not to read or believe what the tabloids said about him and different women, that the paparazzi could take pictures that didn't tell the real story and that Felix couldn't be around for her too often. But she was squealing with delight because he was going to be her's for two months while he trained at his compound. What Bianca did not expect was seeing Gio, the boy from her World History class who never noticed her at school, or so she thought. Neither Gio or Bianca had plans of being attracted to each other but that did not stop the sparks from flying...or prepare them for the explosion of emotions that would touch all those around them, due to that attraction. Another well written book by Elizabeth Reyes, Gio will take your emotions for a complete work out. There is a touch of suspense and adventure as our characters have to be a bit clandestine, especially with hidden camera's and paparazzi all around. The characters we met in Noah (book 1) return in Gio; Noah and Roni, Abel, Hector, Jack and Roni's friend Nellie. I always enjoy series books where you get to see “friends” again. **Contains Sexual situations and language http://justjudysjumbles.blogspot.com/2011/08/forever-mine-by-elizabeth-reyes.html
