Publisher's summary

Mila

Pregnant and married at the young age of eighteen, I settled into my life not knowing there could ever be more.

Until Mason, with his sexy smirk and magnetic baby blue eyes.

With a single look and a few words, he made me feel sexy and alive.

But as quickly as he came into my life, he was gone, leaving me wanting more.

A few days later, my mom died, and her final words of advice—life's too short to settle—are what I vowed to live my life by. Not even a year after her death, I was divorced and ready to find the one.

Only I didn't realize how difficult it would be to find someone who could make me feel the way Mason did.

Five years later, and I'm still single, looking for my forever.

Mason

I'm the guy who fights and f*cks.

The guy who goes fishing but never keeps what he catches.

The responsibility that comes with commitment isn't for me.

Until Mila comes back into my life, making me want things I've never imagined wanting.

Now, the man I've always been is quickly losing the fight against the man I want to be.

I'm supposed to want the woman who wants the right now.

Yet, I'm falling for the woman who wants the forever.

Loved this one!

Loved this one!! I actually could not wait to read this simply because I got a sneak peek of it in the last book. We get a deeper in depth look on Mason and Mila’s past looks like and what makes them the person they are today. I really enjoyed watching how they fell for each other. Alex is a delight as well. He adds a lot to the story. We also get to see Tristan Charlie and their kids. I love all the interactions between the children as well as the adults.

Overall, this is a great third installment in the series. I love the MMA aspect, but it’s nice and it doesn’t override the story. This is heartwarming, as well as just delightful to see all these guys and gals get together.

I listen to this on audio. Avery Reid and Christian Leatherman do an excellent job on the narration. I really enjoyed listening to them both as they brought a lot to the vocals.

She does it again!

Overall I really loved this book great characters and good storyline. Love seeing the characters from the original series that this was a spin off from. I was glad to get Mason’s story.

My only complaint was I would of liked a little more toward the end on how Mason dealt with his issues and how they worked on it in their marriage, I felt like it was kinda glazed over and went right into their hea.

But overall I loved the build and their relationship and the epilogue was sweet!

Excellent Story, Characters & Listen🎧 Loved it!

Nikki Ash never ceases to amaze me with her impressive writing skills and ability to create multilayered stories that captivate my attention from start to end. The characters she creates are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with, they are easy to care about and even fall for, too. This third book of the series is Mason and Mila’s story, an opposites-attract single mom sports romance. I have been looking forward to Mason’s story since meeting him in “Clinched”, the second book of the series and is Tristan’s best friend and sidekick. Mason is a player who wants nothing to do with relationships, and a single mom, which is definitely a no go for him. And we soon find out why, which stems from events when he was younger. Mila, a nurse who met both Tristin and Mason in “Clinched” and she is good friends with Tristin’s wife, Charlie. Mila caught on to Mason’s playing way and vowed she would never sleep with him and he found that to be a challenge until he found out she was a mother. But the two crossed paths often and he started to see her in a different light, and even took her son Alec, an MMA fan under his wing. I loved how everything played out in this book, the plotting and world building are brilliant, as are the character growth and development. The story has the perfect balance of drama, a touch of angst, charm, heartfelt emotions, and steamy romance. Nikki Ash, thank you for another fabulous story and emotional rollercoaster ride. 

🎧📚🎧  Avery Reid and Christian Leatherman did a wonderful job bringing these characters and story to life. They understood the characters they were portraying, and I loved how they took each role and made it their own, sounding believable and just as I imagined the characters to sound. You could hear how much heart they put into their performance as they captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen and their performance elevates this already amazing story to another level. Thank you for another fabulous listen.

Taking down the ultimate fighter

I love this series. Mason and Mila bring it unknowingly building a relationship and a foundation that will help them fight their way through their insecurities and Mason’s past. I love the heart this story brings both fighting for the future that neither saw coming but don’t want to give up.

The narration was great it was an extremely easy listen and I finished it all in one sitting. This will definitely be in my rotation so I can listen to it when I can’t sit down with the written copy!

Still loving this series. ALL the feels.

HEARTBREAKING.
The way this book started out … ouch! (And I’m here for it, Ash always delivers.)

And of course in true Ash-fashion, it only gets better and packs in loads of familiar ‘faces’. Set around the MMA scene, with a successful fighter as the male lead and a hard-working nurse as the female lead, this book is incredibly sweet—also typical of Ash. Even when she paints darkness, she always makes sure to draw in plenty of light.

I did have a few very minor plausibility issues with this one, but overall, I thought it was great and I couldn’t put it down.


🥊 MMA fighter.
🥊 Single mom.
🥊 A bit of other man drama.
🥊 Familiar circle of friends & found family vibes.
🥊 Roommates to lovers.
🥊 Kids.
🥊 Miscommunication / misunderstandings.
🥊 Male lead is a quiet protector.
🥊 Broken people who work hard to heal old wounds & start over.

It was predictable, down to every little detail, but that made it no less fun or sweet.

4 stars.


🎧 Audio:
Excellent performances, especially Reid at times—emotions really came through. And of course perfect overall sound quality. 🦩
5 stars.
