What happened in chapter 25 – the epilogue?:
Fred is continuing to threaten Addison and Clair – not with violence, subtle threats about his rights. He even gets Clair’s named tattooed on his arm and then leaks photos of them meeting to the press, although his identity is not revealed in the photos.
AJ is in the middle of a game one day when he sees another player with the tattoo. He knows, instantly, this is Clair’s father – and it’s someone he already hates. He loses it and control his rage.
After the game, AJ calls Addison and in the middle of their conversation, Fred calls – AJ tells Addison if she answers it, they’re done. But she has to answer because Fred is threatening to reveal his identity to the press.
Addison comes up with a clever way to get Fred to back off, but AJ still isn’t speaking to her, so she shows up at a family gathering and get into a huge fight. Addison is furious that AJ wouldn’t even hear her out and AJ is upset he she finds out why Addison met with Fred that night. But they love each other and they’ve missed each other so much – and Addison has some very happy news for him.
Favourite Quote:
“Us. It was hard to wrap his mind around how one little word could fill him with such happiness and hope.”
“I’m not sure how long I would’ve been able to hold off crawling back to beg you to take my stubborn ass back.”
Discussion Question:
- Was Clair’s dad who you expected him to be?
About RAGE
Having made it to the major leagues, AJ “Rage” Romero is determined to shake the stigma his temper has earned him over the years. He’s finally managed a shaky hold of that elusive self-control.
Until he meets them . . .
Without warning, his coach and mentor’s brilliantly gifted granddaughter Clair and her equally amazing mother Addison Lara blow into AJ’s life. The harder he falls for Addison, the closer and more attached he becomes to Clair.
Having fallen so fast and hard, he agrees to respect the understandably protective single mother’s wish to forever keep the identity of Clair’s absent father unknown to everyone–including AJ.
But when the ugly truth about Clair’s dad begins to surface, the fire in AJ’s fiercely possessive heart is lit. As more of the troubling reality comes to light, his zero tolerance for secrets and dishonesty put his temper–and his love for Addison–to the ultimate test.
Self-control has never felt so impossible.
RAGE is a STANDALONE sexy romance with a alpha male hero that will make you tremble. It has an HEA and NO cliffhanger!! It is suitable for ages 17+

REVIEW
I love Rage and this book. LOL. This is probably my favorite book in this series so far.
Rage is slightly different than the rest of the books in this series in that in really focuses more on the love of a child and his AJ’s ability to form a strong bond with her regardless of what his peers think of him.
AJ (Rage) is a major league baseball player and earned the nickname Rage because of his extreme outbursts and inability to keep himself in check (on or off the field). However, he has learned to control and focus that energy in a more positive way thanks to his coach, Mr. Lara.
Addison is coach Lara’s daughter and her daughter, Clair, is a huge baseball fanatic and smart beyond her years. She also has the same love of stats as her mom, so she is always going with her grandfather to all of the games. She also happens to be AJ’s biggest fan and these two form one hell of a bond.
Due to the closeness of not only Clair and AJ, but also the way AJ looks up to coach Lara, it’s inevitable that AJ and Addison would eventually meet. Their first interaction isn’t one that I would say went smoothly either. But as time moves on, things become better and also get more complicated, for many, many reasons.
I won’t give any more of the plot away. This book is full love, devotion, heartache, deceit and determination. You will feel everything that both AJ and Addison feel. You will understand AJ’s rage and you can totally picture him when he is flying off the handle, regardless if you agree with him or not. You can sense Addison’s apprehension to a certain point, only because we don’t know exactly what all she has going on.
AJ and Addison will both infuriate you and also make you want to root for them. These two are very passionate people and they do no hold back anything. Elizabeth does an amazing job of writing two extremely strong characters. Yes, they have their flaws, but that’s what makes them so much more real and honest.
As I said earlier, this is probably my favorite book in this series. I cried, laughed, rooted on fights, and even felt like punching things all while reading this book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story. I love when I feel so much in one book.
Another highly recommended book by Elizabeth Reyes!!
