Synopsis:
After an unstable childhood, Jules Darcy is very familiar with the risks of falling in love. And as an adult, she’s never let herself forget just how high those stakes can be. That’s why she ran away a year ago after her fling with MMA fighter Nick Giannakis quickly got serious. But when she jumps at the opportunity to reconnect with her dad by accepting a job with his growing fight league, she’s stunned to learn the abs, the chiseled arms, and the rock-solid punches she has to market belong to none other than her former fling. Unable to run away from the sexy middleweight this time, Jules vows to keep things strictly professional. But one look at Nick, and her resolve starts to crumble….
The last thing Nick expects when he signs with the prestigious World Fighting Championship is that he’ll have to work with the only woman who ever broke his heart. Desperate to hide the pain she caused him, Nick vows to keep his distance from his gorgeous ex. But when he realizes their intense chemistry hasn’t faded after a year apart, he wonders if they could have a future together, even if dating the boss’s daughter could complicate his bid for the championship belt.
Under the bright lights of Las Vegas, in the world of high-stakes prize fighting, they’ll have to take a risk and decide if their love is worth fighting for.
4 STARS!
Dirty Boxing is a steamy second chance romance!
This is a first time read for me from both authors and I have to say, I was loving Nick and Julian!
Nick was only supposed to be a fling for Julian, he was never supposed to work his way into her heart. After a month long relationship in Chicago Nick asks for more completely scaring Jules away. Honestly I don’t blame her for running scared. After all her father was a fighter and she saw firsthand at a very young age what being married to a fighter is all about.
Nick and Jules have a run in when her father decides to sign him up to fight for his league. Nick sees it as a second chance to win the woman of his dreams back. Jules sees it as what could possibly be a disastrous turn of events!
I am obsessed with fighters in my romance novels. To me the fighting aspect brings on a whole new aspect to a relationship and I can’t get enough of them. plus the alpha vibe that usually comes with these novels is crazy!
Nick is a very determined character. He knows what he wants in a woman and everything he wants he sees in Jules, I loved his determination at trying to get her back. Even through all his frustration.
Just like I loved Nick’s determination, I loved Jules paranoia when it comes to relationships. I also loved Jules drive to make her dad proud, even though, her dad wasn’t around for half her life.
I loved the hell out of Dirty Boxing and cannot wait to read more of this series in the future!!!
Peace Love and Happy Reading,
