Soooooo, the Heroine is abducted with the purpose of being held for ransom to undermine her mafia-King-father. The Bad Guy decides while setting the ransom demand in motion, to give her to his prized fighter (the Hero who is paying off debt)... intending for the Heroine to get beat up and "wrecked" (read: r@ped). Therefore, knowing what "wrecked" stands for in the premise to Wrecked, the title irks me. Also, the fact the Heroine uses "wrecked" as dirty talk was disconcerting (especially considering how naive she was).
Loved the Hero's mom though!
