Reader Question – The book about the MMA fighter that is opening a club with his sister…

By 7 Comments

Hadia is looking for this series. Her question is short and sweet with barely any details, but what she does provide might just be detailed enough to spark your memory. 😉

I DO love MMA romance books and have read a ton, but I can’t remember this specific detail in any of the ones I loved.

She asks:

I don’t know the name of the series but it is amazing. It’s a 4 book series.

The plot is of a MMA fighter opening a club with his sister. It has a lot of martial arts in it.

Do you know the name? read more

Lene is looking for a specific book genre too. She’s looking for the bad guys. The REAL bad guys. 😉

She asks:

I need help!

I’m really in the mood for the on the edge of your seat underworld romance.. The ones where you don’t know if he’s bad for you or hands down just dangerous…

All fighters, drug lords and other criminals please get in line and bring your friends lol

Do you have any suggestions?

I sure DO Lene. I was on a HUGE bad guy kick awhile ago, and made some fun lists for us to choose from, but I’d be happy to collect some of the latest reader recommendations and add to them! read more

Ilsa Madden-Mills – British Bad Boys Series Reading Order

By 1 Comment

*fans self* Wooooooooo that third book (Spider) has one of the hottest covers/cover models yet!!! Whoa. Just… sayin’. Blurb jolt? For sure (no… seriously!!!).  But… cover jolt? HOLY HECK, YES!!!! You have my attention!!! 😛 He’s gonna be a perfect “hero”.

Tessa:  I loved Dirty English. It was just fun and made me happy reading it.
Emily: I just finished Dirty English and highly recommend it. I know this gets tossed around a lot, but it really had a Beautiful Disaster feel to it. I’ve been in a funk with this genre — tired of diluted versions of what initally turned me on to it (BD, Fifty Shades, etc.) — but this one really satisfied.
Tessa: I loved Dirty English. I loved Filthy English even more.  :) A bit of humor, some sadness, and I want to hug a secondary character…It had me giggling like crazy. I want Spider’s story the most though. He needs a hug.
Jean: Loving that cover of Spider! read more

My friend Angie is LOSING HER MIND over this one. And yep. I get why just by that blurb. She’s trying to escape her underground life, and then she meets a fighter! <— It sounds all sorts of angsty and intense, sounds kind of… dark… and loaded in the stuff we love in our “kind” of romances. Oh how I hope!! 😉 P.S. Book #2 is going live in just a couple of days!!

Angie: SOOOOO excited about this! GAH
Autumn: AHHH!!! I hope you read RISING! I think you’ll love it! xo
