De: Melynda Price

Narrado por: Luke Daniels, Rachel Vivette

For Nikko "The Bull" Del Toro, an ex-marine turned MMA fighter, only two things quiet the demons raging inside him - facing an opponent in the cage...and the memory of his hottest one-night stand. But when his PTSD resurfaces, causing him to lose control at a CFA press party, it's his career that may be KO'd.

Dr. Violet Summers is stunned to discover her newest patient is the man who rocked her world - and put her heart in a clinch after her nasty divorce. She's determined to delve deep into the darkness that haunts him and to keep all further encounters strictly professional.

Nikko doesn't want a shrink. What he needs is Violet. With the memory of their passion blazing between them, it's only a matter of time before they give in to desire. Can Violet help save this surly fighter from his own personal nightmare? Or will he forfeit his career and his last chance at love?

Great series

I love this series, The hero's are true loving loyal men. I enjoy hearing about all the characters and can't wait for more in this series. The narrators did a wonderful job.

Only one error, Marines never call themselves soliders.. Marines are Marines, Army are soldiers. I only know this because I'm married to a Marine and my father is Army. Everything else in this book was 5 stars.

Quite enjoyable.

Strong story and narration. Kept my interest throughout. Good installment to this series. Enjoyed the friendships of the fighters.

The Series Is Over and I STILL Want More

What made the experience of listening to Fighting for Control the most enjoyable?

The most enjoyable aspects of FIGHTING FOR CONTROL were the continuous surprises. There were just enough to keep the reader on her toes but not too many to make it hard to follow.

Nikko is a warrior in the ring and out, He is loyal to those he cares for but they are few. Because from the very beginning those he cares for tend to get hurt.

Dr. Violet Summers is shocked when her marriage dissolves. As she heads for her new life in Las Vegas, an encounter on the plane will change her entire way of thinking.

What did you like best about this story?

My favorite scene of the story is the surprise of both characters when they meet up a 2nd time. Priceless!

What does Luke Daniels and Rachel Vivette bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I really like both of these narrators. By listening to the story I was able to focus on it, while working.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I don't have extreme reactions to books unless they are incredibly funny. This book was not intended to be comical. It is a great story and finishes the series nicely.

Any additional comments?

Notes: descriptions of violence, strong language, mature themes

Credit worthy? If you like the world of MMA combined with romance, I think that it is worth it.
I happen to get this one on sale for $5, so I purchased it instead of using my credit.

A WELL WRITTEN & EMOTIONALLY REWARDING BARGAIN

I really didn't want to say goodbye to these characters.. characters that I'd laughed with, got annoyed with and felt compassion for as they struggled with their own personal demons.. and I savored and rejoiced in their hard won HEA ending. It was a road scattered with emotional debris and heartbreaking secrets from Nikko - a damaged soldier back from the war who was losing the battle against fateful decisions he made during a harrowing conflict that left only him alive from a Team of seven. It was a very blurred road that took Dr. Violet Summers from one crazy 'bathroom' encounter with a handsome stranger on a plane to six months later being hired to save him from himself.. and she would cross ethical, emotional and trusted lines to help the man she'd fallen in love with. It was also a road that had a drool-worthy, difficult but loyal Alpha hero, a strong but misguided heroine, sex, romance, twists, turmoil, a couple of nasty ex's dramas, passion and a love story that would be continually tested before the last words would be said.

Worth a credit? This was a riveting, enjoyable and emotion filled story as attraction waged war against ethics and sexual chemistry and love waged war against a stubborn MMA Fighter with unshakable resolve, ghosts and painful secrets. However, the one thing it didn't war against was creditworthiness because YES it definitely would have been creditworthy but, at under $7 for nearly 13 hours of a dual POV love story that was absolutely epically narrated, I reaped the rewards as I kept my credit, devoured the listen and basked in its awesome afterglow.

Fighting for control

I really enjoyed this book and the reading from hearing this handsome MMA, e-soilder Niko(one of my favorite names) come to life! I love Cole Easton as that was the first book I read in the series I love how Melinda brings her characters back together and focuses on real issues that happen in the lives of ex-military and MMA fighters! I loved Violet as she is a true beauty with a heart of gold and enjoyed listening too them discover their feelings for one another. On to listen to more from this series.
