This was a good second chance romance. I liked the connection between Dirk and Beth. The story had a good flow but I did feel that the ending was a little bit rushed. But it was a good story and I’m curious to see where the series is heading.

At first I didn't think I was going to like this but they did grow on me. I ended up enjoying this and I'm looking forward to the other stories. Especially Champs.

It was okay, a little cringe and a little wooden at times but an okay read. I didn’t feel much emotion between the characters which made it a hard sell for me.

I don't usually go for sports romance, but I decided to pick this one up because the hero, Dirk, was a boxer. Dirk was pretty afraid of commitment, causing him to reject Beth, the heroine of this story, about a year before the book takes place. For her part, Beth was strong and wanted independence, so she had quite a few arguments with her very overprotective brother. As Beth's will to be her own person grew, Dirk learned that he had to fight for both his place in the boxing world, and for the woman he never got over after he turned her down. This was a quick and easy second chance romance, with a likable heroine. Sometimes the writing was a bit repetitive, but that's okay. This is a one-sitting read, so if you're after a boxer hero, why not give this a shot?
