#1 Tyler's Undoing
She was what he wanted … but she was also his undoing.
Through mutual understanding, Tyler’s secret affair with Gabriella Reynolds has come to an end. It was a decision that not only saved their friendship, but it was one that would change Tyler Rushing’s life forever.
For the past couple of years, Tyler was known as being one of the UFC’s most memorable and sexy heavyweight fighters. Now he has the chance to win the title and claim the fame he so deserves. Having all the women he wanted was the highlight of his days; at least until Kacey Andrews walked through the door of his gym. He couldn’t keep his eyes off of her; there was an innocence about her that sparked his interest and he wasn’t going to give up until he had her. Little did he know that Kacey Andrews wasn’t a stranger … she was part of his world; he just didn’t know it. It was a secret she’d worked hard to keep hidden.
Kacey spent years trying to get away from the fighting world, away from the man who was hated among the MMA elite … her brother, Kyle Andrews. Unfortunately, she was brought back into it when Tyler’s relentless battle for her heart won her over, drawing her in. The only problem is that secrets never stay buried forever. In the end, Tyler will have a decision to make, and it’s one that could possibly destroy his and Kacey’s life … forever.
I loved Paxon's Promise, but OH EM GEE did I absolutely LOVED Tyler's Undoing!!! It completely captured my attention and it was hard to pull myself away from it. It was just amazing and it's definitely my favorite and I can't imagine another book in the series taking its place, but I'm excited to find out!
Can I just say that Tyler Rushing is HOT! Like panty-melting-shiver-worthy-with-major-swooning-going-on HOT! Tyler is a total alpha: he's strong, possessive, protective, and man does he have whole growling thing going on. OMG ladies, *fans self* you are definitely going to need to change your panties for this one! What makes him even more sexy though is how sweet, gentle, and patient he can be--plus he's got a great sense of humor! I just totally fell in love with Tyler; he's the man!
I loved Kacey too! She was an awesome heroine and very real. She's kind and caring, but she also doesn't take any crap. Kacey is just a good person and she's perfect for Tyler and vice versa.
Tyler's Undoing is funny, a little heartbreaking, super steamy, and it's a great love story! It will get your blood pumping and your heart racing. It made me yell and laugh and smile and ache and sigh. It was utterly fantastic and I wholeheartedly loved it!
Tyler's Undoing is a standalone told from Kacey and Tyler's POV with a HEA ending.

#2 Ryley's Revenge
UFC Middleweight fighter, Ryley Jameson, swore it would never happen again. He was done with his ex, and over the pain she’d inflicted when she left him. At least, that’s what he tells people. Maybe if he says it enough, he’ll begin to believe it himself.
Regretting her decision to let Ryley go, Ashleigh Warren comes back into town and confronts him. Holding only one secret back, she puts the rest on the line and asks for a second chance. Too bad he’s not going to let her off easy.
Camden Jameson loves his twin brother, but his jealousy runs deep. They may be identical in looks, but that’s where the similarities end. When Ashleigh comes back into Ryley’s life, Camden has the perfect opportunity for revenge. Two birds, one stone. A journey to the Dark Side affects them all, but only one will truly get their revenge. Only one will come out on top.
Man,
I am really digging this fighter series!! Seriously, what's not to
love? It's filled with SMOKIN' HOT alpha men, strong, kicka*s females,
extremely steamy times, danger, and HOT fighter men! I know I said that
twice, but it can't be denied! I also can't deny how much I loved
Ryley's Revenge either! Tyler's Undoing is still my favorite, but it was
a close one!
I think you already know I loved Ryley, so I won't say it, but I will say that he was an awesomely awesome hero! Sure, he's kind of a jerk in the beginning and I maybe wanted to smack him for that, but he straightened up pretty quick and I couldn't stay mad at the guy, especially because I could see a little of where he was coming from. Ryley is just so great with Ashleigh; you can tell you much he loves her and cares about her. He's sweet and gentle, but he's also dominant and possessive too. Trust me; you'll be melting for him!

Ashleigh was a great heroine and
once she decided that she wasn't going to let anything hold her back
from being with Ryley, even him, she really fought for him and I really
had to respect her for that. She's strong, determined, and stubborn, but
she's also such a nice, great girl. I really enjoyed her as the
heroine!
Ryley's Revenge is more angsty than
the first book, but not so much that you won't have fun reading it most
of the time. It's a fantastic book and one of the things that I loved
about it is that I was so sucked in that I didn't think about what I was
going to rate it, I was just able to focus on the story which was
great. I very much loved this book and I can't wait to read more of this
series!!
Ryley's Revenge is a standalone, it's told from Ryley and Ashleigh's POV, and they do get their HEA.

#3 Paxton's Promise
She hates him, yet she can’t get him out of her mind.
Female Bantamweight fighter, Gabriella Reynolds, has a bad habit of falling for forbidden fighters. Enter Paxton Emerson. He’s tall, tattooed, and the current UFC Light Heavyweight Champion. Everyone wants a piece of him, and he only has eyes for her. Through no choice of her own, she’s fallen in his debt and he’s now demanding payment. Too bad it doesn’t involve currency. Gabby’s decision to fulfill her promise to him ultimately brings out her true feelings, but also spurs the unwanted attention of another.
Rage’s fixation on his newest obsession reaches dangerous levels. Unfortunately, Paxton Emerson has become a roadblock to his end goal and needs to be removed from the equation—by any means necessary.
Gabby will do anything to save Pax, but what happens when she’s the one who needs saving?
I loved reading Paxton's Promise! It was a fast, easy read full of passion, steaminess, and danger. The deeper you go into the story, the more it sucks you in, and you don't want to stop reading until you finish. It is an awesome book and I just loved it!
Paxton is one hot alpha male! He's so strong, determined, and possessive. He knows that he wants Gabby and he's not going to stop until she's his. Pax is very protective, sweet, and romantic, but he's still a growler. I love that and him!
Paxton's Promise may not be the longest book ever or the most complicated, but it still has great values. Keeping promises and protecting those you love are very important themes and it's part of what makes this book so awesome.
I very much enjoyed this story. I loved the characters, the steaminess, and the danger. I would say I loved the mystery, but I figured out who the antagonist pretty quickly, so there wasn't any really, but I was cool with that. I just adored reading this and I absolutely cannot wait to read Camden's book.
Paxton's Promise is a standalone with a HEA. It is mostly told from Gabby's POV, but you do get to hear from Paxton occasionally too.

#4 Camden's Redemption
For so long, UFC Middleweight fighter, Camden Jameson lived in his twin brother’s shadow, competing to be the best. When he lost his way, he turned to the Dark Side and did some unforgiveable things. After his betrayal, he tried to earn his redemption, but it wasn’t enough. Now his whole world has fallen apart and he’s on the run from those who want him dead. But he’s not alone.
Undercover agent, Brooklyn Avery, has been assigned to Camden’s case, to watch and protect him. For months, she’s been in the shadows, keeping her distance. All of that changes when the mission takes a dangerous turn and she needs to get closer to protect him. Their love is forbidden, but once they see past each other’s scars, they realize they have what it takes to heal the other. Unfortunately, Camden still has a price to pay for his sins.
Lives will be lost, some will be damaged, and a dark, hidden secret will be revealed. In the end, Camden finally learns what it means to put everything on the line for love, even if it costs him.
I
swear this series just keeps getting better and making me love it more
with each book! They have all been wonderful and Camden's Redemption is
no different! It was totally the bomb and I freaking LOVED it!!!
I was really excited when I learned Camden was going to get his own story. Even though I read Ryley's Revenge where he's all psycho crazy, after I read Paxton's Promise, where he's trying to be a better guy, I still wanted to see him be happy and become a great guy. I never thought about not giving him a chance and it might sound crazy, but hey, what can I say? I have thing for messed up, damaged, broody bad boys. Camden really turns out to be a wonderful hero and I loved him! It doesn't hurt that he's hot, possessive, and totally sweet either!

Brooklyn--now that girl can kick
some major butt! She's tough-as-nails, stubborn, brave, and fierce.
She's absolutely perfect for Camden because she challenges him and is
strong enough to take him on. I think they might just be my favorite
couple now!
Camden's Redemption made my heart
hurt, gave me that sharp burning sensation in my nose from trying to
hold back tears, but it also made me laugh and smile a lot too. It had
some steamy moments, sad ones, and downright
sweet-nose-burning-heart-melting moments. It was an amazing book and I
never wanted to stop reading it, I loved it so much! I also can't wait
to read Kyle's Return although it's going to be bittersweet because I'm
going to miss all these fighters--the men and the women!!
Camden's Redemption is a standalone, it's told from Camden and Brooklyn's POV and I loved their HEA ending!
