For those of you that are into the MMA fighter romance books (like me!!), here one that’s already 3 books in (book #3 was just released a week or so ago)! I read #1 and enjoyed it (here’s my review), and I hear #2 is really good as well. These have been touted as great “in between” reads, because while there is romance and steam and a touch of angst, none of it goes too overboard.
Kristina: Seducing Cinderella by Gina Maxwell… yummy quick read. MMA fighter makes a deal with best friend’s younger sister to help her become a seductress & win the heart of a Dr. she’s been pining for at work if she helps him recover in time for his major fight.. hmmmm.. yeah I’ll leave it at that.. *droool* lol.. Nothing too heavy & great inbetween read =)
Shan: I loved it!!! It is exactly what you said, a great in between read to take the edge off (after reading Thoughtless and Effortless, I needed that *sigh*)…that was until approximately chapter 9…when they turned on the heat and they really turned on the heat 😉 oh but the ending! Just perfect… :love:
Sabrina: Yes I enjoyed this one too!!
Ashley: My favorite book boyfriend is Reid Andrews from Gina Maxwell’s “Seducing Cinderella”. He gives me butterflies in my tummy!
Sara: Gina L Maxwell has a second book out in the Fighting for Love Series. This one is titled Rules of Entanglement. This story is about Lucie’s brother, Jax and her best friend Vanessa. This is such a good story, if you enjoyed the first you will definitely like the second.
Pansy: You are going to love Rules of Entanglement. It was a pleasant surprise. 4 stars!
Jenn: right now I am crushing hard on Jackson Maris-“Rules of Entanglement”
Jill: I just finished Rules of Entanglement and it is absolutely fabulous! Jax is SO a new book boyfriend, for real!!
About book #1:
Mixed martial arts fighter Reid Andrews’s chance to reclaim his title as light heavyweight champ is shattered when he’s injured only months before the rematch. To make sure he’s healed in time, his trainer sends him to recuperate under a professional’s care–Reid’s best friend’s little sister, all grown up.
Disorganized and bookish Lucie Miller needs some professional help of her own. She’d do anything to catch the eye of a doctor she’s crushed on for years, so when Reid offers seduction lessons in exchange for 24/7 conditioning for the biggest fight of his career, Lucie jumps at the chance.
Soon Reid finds himself in the fight of his life…winning Lucie’s heart before she gives it to someone else.
Totally agree these first two books were a lot of fun!
Have not read the third but it seems interesting.
The young woman in the story is the young sister
Of the young woman in book 2. I think it will
Have more angst ..
I’ve read all three and they are all good but Seducing Cinderella was my favorite 🙂
Ohhhh, Reid!!!….my Number 1 Book Boyfriend! He’s got it all, in my opinion, but all of this author’s men are awesome so far 😉 You said it, Maryse, none of her stories “go overboard”. Nothing is forced, overwrought, contrived or leaves you hanging. This writer has a lot of talent already, but is one to watch, for sure. Book 3, “Fighting for Irish”, is a darker read. The more serious (trigger) subject matter is dealt with extreme sensitivity rather than seeming salacious. A great series!
Gotta say I thought it was just a little too predictable, tame, and while not totally boring, I felt “been there, done that, on to something better”. I would not recommend spending more than about 99 cents on it…
