A review by vera_allbookedup
Cocky Contender by J.M. Kelley

5.0

Boxing has never been my thing, but reading about Marco and Mila and their connections to the... sport?...whatever it is, their foundations were deeply rooted in boxing. Mila's past broke my heart. No one should have to go through that. Watching how Marco and Mila's relationship strengthened and deepened to something more was heartwarming. The author is new to me, but the depth of the characters and their storyline was so well-written that the characters felt like old friends. That's on of my measures of a great book--how well I connect with them and how long they stay with me after I've read their story.

I received an advance copy of this book at my request and voluntarily left this review.
