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?

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.
Great series

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 themesCredit 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.

The Series Is Over and I STILL Want More

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.
A WELL WRITTEN & EMOTIONALLY REWARDING BARGAIN

Prior to Nikko's two years with the MMA he was in the Marine Special Forces Recon for 6 years. Shit went bad on a mission that f*up Nikko. He was released from the Marines and came home very dark and suffering from PTSD.
Ahead 6 months: Nikko has a flashback blackout and injures his coach. He's suspended and ordered to see a psychologist at the practice that works with the MMA.
Yes...you guessed it...his psychologist is Violet Summers. Violet tells him she can't treat him for the obvious reason but Nikko hasn't been able to get Violet out of his mind since she joined the mile high club with him and he refuses to see anyone else.
Nikkos pursue begins. Violet wanting to truly help Nikko finally gives in to his chase. Their relationship takes you through a maze of emotions including Violets professional ethical struggle, her attraction to Nikko, Nikko not opening up about his demons, Nikko lying to her after they become involved, Violet betraying Nikko's trust, Violet's ex-husband blackmailing her, Nikkos flashback blackouts, there's also fun, humor and sex.
There is of course angst but not a lot of internal dialogue and filler. This book moves at a steady pace and keeps you invested in it until the end.
Melynda Price has written a MMA Series that takes you on a deep emotional journey into the lives of the fighters. Luke Daniels and Rachel Vivette give a great performance. Maybe the next book will be about 'Kill' and Penelope.
You don't need a credit for this book. The standard price is a steal at under $10. This is a book and series I will listen to over and over.

This was an enjoyable story overall but there was a lot of angst to get through before hitting the happy ending.
Violet is a psychologist who works with CFA fighters in Vegas (along with other patients). Violet was married to a man named Barry, who was also a psychologist and they ran a practice together. Barry ended up being a scumbag and Violet found out he was cheating on her (and had been for a while). She divorced him and moved to Vegas where she is working on building a new life.
Nikko is an ex-Marine who went through some pretty traumatic stuff. He got out of the military and he recovered physically but never really recovered mentally/emotionally. Nikko found that he did well at fighting and happened meet up with the MMA crowd and got recruited as a CFA fighter.
The story begins with a brief intro which takes place 6 months before the main story takes place. In it, we find that Violet and Nikko met up on a plane flying from New York to Vegas. Violet had just divorced Barry and was feeling the need to grasp onto life so she propositioned Nikko and they proceeded to join the "mile high" club together. They went their separate ways without exchanging numbers but when the main story starts 6 months later, they've both been thinking of each other and kind of wishing they knew how to get in touch....especially Nikko because Violet became a "happy place" for him and he used her memory to smooth himself out when things started making him feel stressed. Unfortunately, Nikko has a "rage blackout" (due to his PTSD) at a press party and his actions in front of the press almost get him permanently banned from the CFA.
Nikko is told that he has to go see a psychologist and he's not thrilled about it but has no choice if he wants to save his career. He's shocked to walk into his first appointment to find that his psychologist is actually Violet. Violet ends up in a quandary because, since they've slept together it would be unprofessional for her to treat Nikko. The only problem is, her partner is out of town for over a month and if she doesn't see Nikko, it will endanger his career. Violet tried to keep things professional but Nikko really isn't prepared to share anything and would much rather have Violet in his life in an unprofessional way. She refuses to just sign off on him (saying he's ok to fight when he isn't) so they're in a constant struggle of them wanting each other and him balking every time she tries to help him with anything professionally. Eventually, they manage to get past their issues and do end the story starting a very nice HEA together.
This was an enjoyable story overall but I will say that there was too much angst leading up to it. I actually had times I almost sped up the narration of the book just so I could hurry and get past all the drama...if I'd have been reading a book instead of listening to an audiobook, I probably would have been skimming past all the angsty stuff. However, there were parts of the story I liked, especially at the end...the story has a really good conclusion. I'd say I enjoyed it overall.
Enjoyable overall but a bit heavy on the angst :)
