Violet Fuller has been through a lot in her short life.
After being viciously attacked, she’s hidden herself away from the world for the past five years, fearing everyone and everything. That’s until the day she finally gathers the courage to go outside.
Violet decides to take a job at Ash’s new gym, Pulse, to reacquaint herself with the male dominated world of MMA. She used to be her brother’s biggest supporter, going to all his matches and cheering him on. There’s no one he trusts more to help him run the admin side of his new business, but when Violet walks through the door for the first time, she sees someone she wasn’t expecting.
Handsome, AUFC fighter, Lincoln Hayes.
The same Lincoln Hayes that she’s had a crush on since she was sixteen.
All muscled, disciplined, hot as hell, six-foot two of him. He’s definitely not a boy anymore.
Things are about to become more difficult than Violet had hoped. So much for easing back into reality.
And Lincoln? He’s only got one thing on his mind.
How do you win over a woman who is afraid of everything?
Simple.
You fight.

Rating: ☆☆☆☆
The hints of Violet's story that we got in 'Beat' and 'Pulse' had me looking forward to her own book. Whilst dealing with Violet's attempts to start living her life after the brutal attack of 5 years previously, it was a lighter read than 'Beat' and 'Pulse'.
It was a Violet's journey to reclaiming her life and Lincoln, her teenage crush. It has its challenges in working around big, strong men and Lincoln as a League MMA fighter is at the top of his game. Any type of relationship is scary to Violet but it is especially so with Lincoln, with his history of womanising.
This was a great read but I was expecting something grittier. I wasn't too disappointed as the story develops in such a beautiful way.

When Ren seeks out her errant father after her mother dies, she enters the world of MMA. With little else to occupy her time, she takes up the discipline. Feeling unwanted and unloved she finds solace in the training but she needs more.
Enter Ash, MMA fighter who nearly made Pro but got kicked out of the League. He ignites more than a fire in her and introduces her to his world.
Both are a little lost in the world with a lot of anger from their past. Finding a balance together, they keep it at bay until severely pushed.
This was a down and dirty read where pretty much anything goes and it does. Hot and sexy and tinged with sadness and high tension. A great, fast paced introduction to the series.

If you're looking for a flowers and chocolate, fluffy romance, this is not for you. It is imperfect in every way which makes it perfect.
Ren is still struggling to find her place in the world and do what she wants, with a big piece of her heart missing with Ash. Ash is dangerous, angry and conflicted: the guy you should stay away from but he is also protective with a big heart for those he loves.
Both struggle with their issues but both are stronger together than apart and both find their comfort zone in MMA and cage fighting. Both go against convention.
This was an emotional and, at times, chilling read. Ash is not your typical book boyfriend and Ren is not your typical book girlfriend. This makes for an amazing ride that completely hooks you in.
