WARNING:
- This is NOT a traditional, contemporary love story.
-This IS a story about human nature at some of its absolute worst; it's about it being black and gray. It's dark and probably intense and a little disturbing. It's violent, too.

^^^^^^^^ That is the truth!!!!!


I will say this Anyone who LOVES UFC needs to add this to their TBR list. This I think(no I KNOW) is the best UFC book I have read. the story line is so different than what we usually read, BUT it is so Much better. The characters truly make you feel for them. You follow their Journey and you are right there with them every step of the way, holding your breath,you have the heart palpitations right along with them through it all.

This is a real gritty, raw, MMA story. It may not be the best kind of ride for everyone, but I loved every minute of it.

I loved Jesse. He was so true to his family values that he chose to do everything it took to protect his little brother. Even though that meant he had no choice but to return to the life he use to live and take the chances he needed in order to protect him.

Henry I disliked 100% enough said.

I loved Drew, I love how no matter the time between them when Jesse needed her help she was right there to help him.


I love how A.J. held nothing back in this story. It shows how much compassion she had for these characters, as she did not sugar coat one part of this story at all.



Definitely not a read for the weak at heart kind of readers. If you can handle intense fighting, gritty, raw scenes then this is a must read for you.



Got my ARC whoot whoot

Note from the author:


- Standalone, not even remotely part of a series (I probably won't ever write another series).

- No cliffhanger! Wooo!

- Might be a wee bit intense for some in terms of the violence.

So excited to move away from contemporary romance and AFC is quite a way to move! ;) It's TOTALLY different from the others but, truthfully, I've never written a traditional contemporary romance.

I can't do it. I'm evil, I guess.

It's way gritty, it's way grungy, and I let loose because I needed to. It won't be an easy ride because that's not how I operate. I decide a long time ago that if I was going to write an underground fighting book, it wasn't going to be sugarcoated.

It's a huge study in human nature, too, so if you like books where good is good and bad is bad, this won't work for you. Graham Greene once said human nature isn't black and white, it's black and grey, and I STRONGLY believe this.

So, if you're looking for rainbows and kittens and bunnies. They aren't here. ;)

It's still longity-long because, well, it's me and that's how I roll. (117k words)
