Who’s in the mood for some “fighter-style” contemporary romance? These are steamy, with just the right amount of angst and moments of heartache to really keep us pining. Great reads when you are looking for a fulfilling and sweet love story, but that won’t make you too crazy in the process. PLUS!!! These are about BOXERS!! Gorgeous up-and-coming-top-of-their-game fighters that are dealing with possible fame and fortune… and trying to fit that all in with that one girl that is flipping their world upside down.
And, to make things even better, there are now THREE books already in the series, so if you’re loving their world, you can really indulge for days.
Wanda loves these, too:
“I started the 5th street series, which I finished and eagerly waiting for Hector story. YAY!! Mrs. Reyes … she’s awesome..;-).”
As per the author:
“My next group of guys are just as tough, possessive and obsessive over their women!”
About the series:
“In the middle of the mean streets of Los Angeles stands an old gym “5th Street.” Here the boys with the will of real men, who are able to turn their backs on the inevitable lure of gangs and drugs come with hopes and aspirations of becoming the next prized fighter. One group of friends who’ve bonded here at 5th Street will capture your hearts. Each one of them jaded by hardships of growing up on the streets of L.A. boasts a hardened exterior. All able and willing to take on dangerous opponents. Never going down without a fight but vulnerable to what each of them think they have the power to overcome—falling in love. Meet the boys of 5th Street.”

I’m at 80% and really enjoying it. Its a nice break in between angsty reads…….and not to mention Hector totally crushworthy.
I liked Noah, but i gave it 4 stars out of 5 coz i felt it was too long and there were some scenes that just stretched seemed unimportant, but i loved the ending, the nxet two books are on my TBR list now.
Are book 2 and 3 steamier? I felt like book 1 was pretty tame. Don’t get me wrong, I love the angst and the anticipation, and I was really into their story, however I thought it was a bit too slow and I missed more dialog & “interaction” between the main characters…
oh i loved Noah,, can’t wait to start on Hector’s book:)
I definitely want to read Hector!! I liked Gio’s but I felt exasperated at times with those two. That one was definitely on the dramatic angst level.
I LOVED Noah because of the kind of relationship it was and how they completed each other so well. I can’t remember the steam-detail but I know I connected hard to that one.
Hector wasn’t real steamy , but had its moments. It was a nice change from the stomach knotting (and not always in a good way) books I’ve been reading lately. Hector was sweet and tough at the same time. It had its errrr moments , but otherwise was easy read.
Love this series …… anxious for Abels story. is there a release date for it????? PLEASE let it be soon lol
Reading Noah, right now! Only about 1/3 through but I am loving every second of it. Older women, hot young fighter, whats not to like!!!
