A Moment (Moments Series, New Adult Romance: Book 1)
Labelled new adult, and has all of the characteristics of a “new adult” read (young twenty-somethings with past struggles making their way into their adulthood). And the hero was a hardened ex-military now MMA fighter (yep, that sold me and I one-clicked it on Amazon without even downloading the sample ;)), struggling with depression due to a traumatic event from his childhood. You’ll “get” what happened, soon into the read.

Book Review – Real By Katy Evans
Real
<— This one was a “stayed-up-all-night-now-I’m-a-book-zombie” read, and I had a blast sighing and *squeeing* with my fellow readers over Remy as so many of us read it together. It just came out yesterday, and when Joanna mentioned how much she was enjoying it, I knew it had to be my next (we have similar book tastes).
Joanna: I’m reading “Real” by Katy Evans right now. It’s giving me chills… Hope it holds up this good all the way through. If it does, it’ll be on my keeper shelf in a BIG way.
The Ultimate List of Fighter Romance Books
It’s no secret that one of my favorite “guilty-pleasure” heroes are the bad-a$$ fighter types. Underground street fighters, cage fighters, MMA, UFC, Boxers, up and comers, and Heavyweight champions… it’s all good to me. I love ’em!! I love watching them on TV and I especially love reading as they find (and attempt to resist) love amidst their chaotic lives. The highs—> super-strength and super-skills, and the lows (or the “fun stuff” if you ask me) —> groupies and anger issues. ‘Cause it’s always that, isn’t it? They’re fighters for a reason, and the tough-guy/bad-boy attitude is irresistible to me. They are the rock stars of their world, the “gladiators” of ours and BIG on protecting those they love. *swoooooon*
Elizabeth Reyes – 5th Street Series Reading Order
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.
Cover Reveal – “Hector” by Elizabeth Reyes
Book #3 in the sexy “fighter/boxer” series, 5th Street by Elizabeth Reyes is in the works as we speak, and I think we might be in for something big! When a fellow reader asked Elizabeth if there would be any more in the series after (Noah (5th Street #1), and Gio (5th Street #2)) she said:
Elizabeth Reyes: two more Peggy! Up next Hector <3
“Yep, so as you can see this will be my first ever NON Hispanic heroine. A redhead to boot. =) It won’t be a major part of the conflict but it will be part of his intrigue in her. I’m almost halfway into it and already it’s getting pretty intense. I’m at that giddy stage in the story where it’s coming to me fast now and I’m getting really excited but I still can’t even estimate when it will be ready. I’ll keep you guys updated though.”
