Synopsis:

Perfect for fans of Katy Evans, this third book in the sizzling and electrifying Blood and Glory series reveals that sometimes, the power of temptation is stronger than the pull of a championship belt.

Leandro Oliveira–hunky MMA fighter, playboy billionaire, and newly crowned champ of the World Fighting Championship’s light heavyweight division–is used to getting his way. But when his party lifestyle threatens to cost the WFC sponsors, he has to clean up his act or he’ll be stripped of his contract. Forced to give up late nights of booze and women, Leandro resents having to change his behavior–until he lays eyes on the sexy publicist hired to manage his image. He plans to seduce her to regain control of the situation, but falling for her wasn’t supposed to be part of the deal.

Freelance publicist Ashlynn Fields has never taken on a client she wasn’t certain she could handle. But her latest project might just be the guy who kills her perfect record. Between his sex tape, his exploits at strip clubs, and his nights spent street racing expensive sports cars–not to mention his smoldering good looks and near constant flirting–Leandro might prove to be impossible. But with a full-time position with the WFC on the line, Ashlynn is more determined than ever to ignore his good looks and charm, and get this bad boy on the straight and narrow. Not only is he her client, but he’s completely wrong for her. When the chemistry between them explodes, she’s left wondering: how can the wrong man feel so right?

The Blood and Glory series continues to blow me away. I can’t get enough!

After reading Take Down (Book two) I was beyond excited to find out Leandro Oliveira was getting his story next! Leandro is an egotistical and entitled MMA fighter. After his big fight with Champion Gabriel ‘The Sandman’ Maddox I wasn’t shocked at all to find the extreme chip on Leandro’s shoulder in No Contest. Even at the top of his game, Leandro feels cheated and not worthy of his accomplishments. Which to be honest, is completely understandable.

Leandro’s latest strip club stunt lands him in hot water and the only way out is to go along with Craig Darcy’s plan. Ashlynn Fields is a freelance publicist with the biggest job of her career being offered on the table. That job is to make Leandro Oliveira look good.

Ashlynn thinks what everyone thinks of Leandro. He’s nothing but a rich boy who has the world handed to him on a silver platter. But she couldn’t be more wrong. In this novel we get the real Leandro and not the image that he wants everyone to see.

I loved getting a deeper look into Leandro’s character and the type of person he truly is. This man has struggled through life, maybe not financially but emotionally. His mother is a wolf who only thinks about herself and his father wasn’t the exact role model you would want your son to look up to. With Ashlynn’s help, Leandro turns from the man he despises and into the man that he can admire and truly wants to be. The man who can make his grandfather proud.

Ashlynn and Leandro are the hottest couple (in my opinion) of this series! Their forbidden romance was a page turner and had me on the edge of my seat needing more! No Contest is without a doubt my favorite book in the Blood and Glory series!

But what isn’t to love when you have a brazilian alpha male who finds himself falling in love for the very first time!

This novel is not only hot as hell but also very emotional. It’s a whirlwind to watch two people who have been emotionally closed off, from the start, learn to open their hearts and let unconditional love and trust in. <3

As for the blurb…..I was a little skeptical when I read the opening sentence because of my love for Katy Evans and her real series….BUT…..I have to admit, the first sentence of the blurb is true! If you are a lover of Katy Evans and the Real series…I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you read No Contest!
