Publisher's summary

Chyna: Every chance I get, I go to watch the local fights. I crave the excitement and the rush as it courses through my body, with the sounds of fists meeting flesh. It’s not just the blood or the hard bodies that keeps me coming back each time, wanting more. It’s Jace ‘King’ Kash and his arctic blue eyes. He has fists made of steel with a body honed for speed. He’s breathtaking to watch in the cage.

The King easily brings men to their knees, and then graciously helps them up when he’s finished. Getting introduced to him was thrilling, falling in love with him, unexpected. Jace comes pounding through, waking my mind and body up; showing me what I was missing out on in my life. He makes me realize what I could have and what doesn’t destroy me, will make me stronger.

Great listen

The story flowed beautifully and the characters were easy to relate to. It did take me a little longer to get used to the narrators voice. Overall great listen.

Wont be my last from this author

This book was gifted to me via audible in exchange for an honest review. This is a good story written by Sapphire Knight. I love romance but I'm not wild about MMA; however, I love action in my books and this definitely delivers. I loved Jase and Chyna's story and I'm looking forward to more. Willa James' voice is a good "southern" voice. . . I should know. . . I'm from Louisiana. It was almost as if I were reading the book myself. Great job to both writer and narrator.

A book worth listening to

the story flowed really well. the story line was great, and I always love a happy ending

Decent story line

The story line was decent but I didn’t care for the female narrating all of the male parts. I believe a man should have narrated that part. I would like to read it rather than listen to this audiobook

Loved so much

Another home run for Sapphire. I knew once I started this book I would not be able to stop until I finished it. This book kept my tension the entire time with the amazing narration.

Loved it

I always love a good story and this one is beautiful. Jace and Chyna are wonderful together. Worth the listen.

Jace and Chyna

Sapphire Knight can write one heck of an MC/Mafia book but I have to say she totally and absolutely out did herself with an MMA book. It was stunningly written, Sapphire knows how to write about amazing characters whom you grow to love and adore, they have outstanding depth and intrigue. Jace is an alpha male, with a soft heart. Chyna was his fan or I should say fan of MMA. She had a crush on Jace though and attended a lot of his fights. They had beautiful chemistry together. Then things go haywire. This book is suspenseful, romantic and down right Extraordinary.
Narration was great!

not for me

Not what I expected or wanted. These people are supposed to be adults, but they acted like horny teens. Chyna was a tease with no morals from the start . She threw herself at Jace non stop. Why?? Slow down girl. Maybe she was in heat, because that's how it read- like a 'B' grade movie. I was disappointed and struggled to finish listening. It never got better. I won't be continuing with this author. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator made no effort or attempt at the male voice, and the female voice sounded redneck backwoods and not appealing.
