L.P. Dover, the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author who brought you the tantalizing Gloves Off series, presents Gloves Off – Next Generation. This brand-new saga of interconnected standalones unites new characters with beloved originals in dark and sexy stories laced with suspense!
Fame. Money. Status. An infinite number of women standing ringside in hopes of one night with him. These are all the things Carter Reynolds loves about being MMA royalty. As a UFC Heavyweight champion, and the son of the illustrious Matt Reynolds, Carter thinks he has everything he could ever want.
Until he comes face to face with Emma Jameson—the one who got away. The pair are bonded by a secret from their past, one that none in their inner circle can ever know about…
Thanks to her father, Emma is no stranger to the MMA world. UFC Middleweight champion, Ryley Jameson, is known far and wide for his scandalous antics in and out of the ring. His fame put her in the spotlight at a very early age. It even led to her lucrative modeling career and the opportunity for her to travel the world. Now Emma is back with the family of fighters she left behind and quickly discovers a darkness that has wriggled its way into the MMA fold.
Someone demands retribution for the sins of the past, and they’ve chosen to make Emma their first target. Determined to keep her safe, Carter will do whatever it takes to protect her, even if that means putting his life on the line.
As hidden truths are revealed, Carter and Emma find that no one in their circle is safe… and this is only the beginning
No cheating. No cliffhangers. Just hot, dirty-talking fighters who want to take you down to the mat.
Craving the Fight is a 2nd generation book and I am totally loving these lately! We have a famous fighter and a model who loved and lost each other when they were young. There is a lot of hurt feelings and emotions to unpack for sure!
Emma gets a threatening note that has her scared. She grew up in the MMA though, so she isn’t just a pretty face (she is a model). She has a lot of family that is always there for her, and of course there is Carter. I don’t think they really ever stopped pining for one another, but they were young and Emma took off to start her modeling career.
There is plenty of action in the story! Honestly, I flew through this book because it is kind of non-stop! I really enjoyed it even though I do not remember the parents story at all! But, according to goodreads, I read it!
