☆ I received an ARC HEA Bookshelf in exchange for an honest review. Thank you! ☆

3.75-4ish stars!!

Teaser 1

Life doesn’t always go as you planned.

This is prime example of what happens in No Fear as Greylan Pace finds himself in yet again, one of the biggest fights of his life, that encompass of dealings with the mob!

From life’s ups and downs, we see Greylan battle through it all. With lies, deception in the midst and his perceptions on things and people dramatically altering, we journey with Greylan as he tries to make sense of things while trying to stay afloat with dangerous liaisons which could mean his demise.

Now faced with his preeminent challenge on the rise and a sh*# storm on his back…Greylan must be in tip top shape on top of his game and sort out his priorities on focus on what really is important…or watch as everything that's ever meant to him fall apart…

Teaser 3

#A pretty solid read, that showcased the good and ugly of what drive, treachery, deceit, and determination can do to the human spirit and the choices you make for the better of you and the people you love and care about! Can’t wait for bk 3!!

I got a copy of NO FEAR for the Blog Tour I am hosting....

Now the trick comes giving a review without giving spoilers..... But be WARNED there might slip a SPOILER or TWO or THREE through

"but with everything that has happened, there's no way I could have known what was in store for all of us"

Ouch, What, #$%*, nooooooooo, GASPING, YES YES YES, AWWWW......
This is my reactions through out NO FEAR...... NO Regrets was a good book but NO FEAR was a mind blowing book that had me on the edge your your seat the whole time.

"no fear of what's to come; face it head on"

No Fear starts of pretty much near where No Regrets ended. Poor Grey being knee deep in the Mafia. Meyer and Mollie made decisions for Grey that he is not fully comfortable with and now He has to live with the consequences. You also learn the awful truth of what happened the night 6 years ago. Grey is still haunted by the nightmares, but this time around his mind is playing sick tricks on him and that freaks Grey out even more.

I did feel for Grey and understand why he tried to keep everyone away from danger, but sometimes one does need your loved ones to help you get out of what you dragged yourself into.

#Spoiler - I am so happy that Grey and Christina finally got together, she is his person. And everyone deserves to be happy. Look the road to finally having each other is not easy, with Christina almost losing Grey, and then again and again and again.

You also learn more about Meyer and the shitty deal he made and somemore.

Molly what can I say she is not my fav but you do feel for her in the end.

#Spoiler - There was a part where tears filled my eyes and although this guy was an ass he still felt for him. I do have to say in the end of the Book where Grey gets the letter, it made me do my #happydance and so everyone did get their Happily Ever After

The Fight scenes is written perfectly and it places you right there in the middle of the action - I take my hat of to Heather for doing this so perfect. This gave the No Regrets Series a total different feel and put this series and books apart from the rest.

"I was never on the market after I met you. Somehow you mad me tap out very early."

No Fear and this series is one of the few books I do would love too see being made into a movie. I think it will have you the edge of your seat the whole time.

The love scenes is perfectly written, which makes this book perfect for anyone who isn't really comfortable with the whole graphic love scene thing.

I give No Fear 5 Fighting Stars

Yum!! Another beautiful cover from Heather Allen and yay, Greylan grows a pair in this second book. Exactly what I wanted to see from him! This review may contain slight spoilers for No Fear-book one in the series.

Man, the opening scene breaks your heart and shows you what condition Greylan's mind and body are in. I hated even reading it. He is working with his new trainer Jackson in Vegas still, but the rules are all different now. The fights are controlled by the mob, with his "family" being threatened at every turn.

I absolutely love Christina and HATE Mollie. Ugh that woman is nothing but a waste of skin and the same goes for Meyer. Page after page I kept hoping they were going to get what was coming to them. It irritated me to no end that Greylan actually felt sorry for him so many times.

Things are a confusing mess for everybody. There is something brewing with Parker, Trinity's boyfriend who is also a fighter. The mob is in control of him, but needing a winning outlet, Grey finds something else to occupy his time.

Because the guy has the worst luck ever, Grey's latest plan backfires and turns to crap pretty fast. Jimmy is in deep with the mob while still managing Grey, Parker may be too. Jackson is really the only person Grey can trust and he doesn't want to tell Jackson the truth, because he doesn't want to drag him down too.

The book reads like a who dunnit-as you are constantly trying to guess who is up to what and how are they all going to stay alive if they cross the mob. Heather Allen kept the action on high this time and gave Grey the back bone he was missing in the first book.

Well written and Greylan is still sexy as hell. We get all questions answered and certain people get exactly what they deserved, while we are rewarded with a sweet epilogue and a slight sock in the gut.

I'm so in love with Greylan Pace.

After the cliff hanger we were left with at the end of No Regrets, this story picks up with Greylan Pace making his way back up in the fighting world.

A sponsor would usually be a good thing for a professional fighter, except then they are linked with the Mob! Now Greylan not only has to deal with still trying to rebuild his life and career, but also the betrayal of his best friend and the woman he has dreamt about, dubious deals and the world of underground fighting all the while keeping secrets and making plans to get himself out of what has become an impossible situation.

I worried about the sexy fighter a few times throughout the story as I wasn't quite sure he was going to come out the other side, I mean how much can one person cope with! But he is tough and determined to come out the other side without any of those he loves being hurt. But the Mob's spy's are everywhere and how do you know who he can really trust.

Again, we have another fast paced, action packed story with a lot of detail in the fight scenes and we are left with another cliff hanger. I am really enjoying this authors work and I wonder what Heather Allen will come up with for the next instalment of the No Regrets series.

When we last left off with Greylan he had found himself in a whole mess of trouble. As the book starts, things haven't gotten much better. His career is in the crapper thanks to his unwilling participation with the mob in Vegas, his love life is nonexistent, and the future looks bleak. What has he gotten himself into? Or better yet...what has Meyer gotten Grey into?

In NO FEAR Allen gives us readers an intense look at the dark side of Vegas and fighting. Greylan has a lot to deal with and it is not pretty. And Meyer is not helping matters by being cryptic and flighty. On top of all that, he has to try and protect his sister from seeing the sinister side of his career. The stress builds and builds until he feels like he is going to explode.

I was none too pleased with Mollie in the last book, but I gotta say I am happy with where the romance went in this one. I won't say with who...but I think readers will definitely be happy for Gray in the end.

Fabulous read that once I got reading I couldn't put it down. I am a huge fan of Allen's and this one is just proof of why I am. 5 Whoa-Whoa-Whoa Stars!

Greylan, oh man do I feel for him.

Betrayed in the worst possible way. Everything was a lie, everyone needed him for something and wanted something from him. All he wanted was to fight!

The mob are evil and controlling. Everything he did was scripted and he was told what to do and when. He had to do it to protect those he loved, if he didn't there would be a price to pay.

He hated what this world was doing to him and how it was robbing him of himself. He wanted to win!!! He was a fighter and a winner!!

Well he found a way to be on top again, but there was a price to pay and it was very short lived due to the consequences.

In his dilemma he did finally discover one thing. LOVE!! He let himself see, feel and want those four letters and it was with someone that had ALWAYS been there. The downside to this is that she was also exposed to the mob and he needed to keep her safe, after all she owned his heart.

What will happen with Grey and those he loves? Will he continue to let the mob control him? Will he finally become the fighter he was meant to be?

A good read and a recommended read.

4.5 stars

Let me start off by saying that No Fear is the sequel to No Regrets, so you MUST read book one before this one. While this review will be spoiler free for book TWO, it will include spoilers to book one.

After that messy ending in No Regrets, I was heartbroken for Greylan. His life was just that…a mess. After everything he had gone through, shit just kept happening to him! He could NOT catch a break. The things he thought to be true, to be real, were all a lie…a very bad illusion. So what was he supposed to do now?

Working with the mob – agreeing to fight for Luciano – wasn’t a plan he was okay with, but then again, it’s not like he had a choice. Heather Allen took us for one heck of a ride with this book! There was action and suspense with the turn of almost every page. Grey had anything but a boring life, that’s for sure. From fighting in the ring to struggling to keep everyone safe outside in the real world, Greylan had his hands FULL. Poor guy. My heart ached for him. I felt like I wanted to give him a hug and tell him that everything would work out. I mean, it HAD to. He deserved a damn break!

At first, when I started reading this book, I was slightly nervous where Heather Allen would take us regarding Greylan’s love life. I honestly never wanted him to end up with Mollie. I never really liked her in book one nor did I connect with her AT ALL. And then, seeing him struggle so much to keep everyone safe while he kept paying the price, made me flat out hate her in No Fear. Suffice it to say I’m extremely happy with what ended up happening. Ever since we met Christina in No Regrets, I wanted her to end up with Grey. I felt like they had such a strong connection and chemistry that they just needed to be together. If only Grey would realize it….

And then, he did and I was an extremely happy reader.

This made an even sexier side of him come out to play – his alpha male-ish side. He was so protective of Christina. Anyone could tell he treasured her. He realized how much time he had wasted and now, all he wanted to do was make up for it. This gave him more of a reason to find a way OUT. To get out from the Luciano’s trap. Not that it would be easy. FAR from it, actually.

Little surprises kept popping up and curveballs were thrown into the mix. I honestly did not know what to expect next in this book. There were times where I felt like I was on the edge of my seat, rooting for Grey to make it out okay. The plot line was definitely action-packed. There was drama, suspense and of course, more than a few steamy scenes.

As the story developed, I found myself really enjoying it more and more. It started out as a 4-star book for me, but as things picked up, as the romance side intensified, I ended up getting really into it. I’m very happy with how this book ended where Grey and Christina are concerned. They deserved every ounce of happiness together. However, I’m very curious to see if Heather Allen plans on writing a third book because plot wise, I feel like this book did end in a cliffhanger. I mean, come on, Heather!! I need to know what happened with that character! Or better yet, HOW did THAT happen… :)

I recommend you one-click No Fear (and No Regrets if you haven’t) if you’re anything like me and love novels in the romantic suspense genre! 4.5 stars! A great read!

✯✯5 Fearless Stars!!✯✯


Man oh man what a book!! No Fear is the second book in the No Regrets series. Heather Allen is a genius.When I finished the 1st book No Regrets my jaw was on the floor. I felt the whole book Grey was getting half truth's from the people closest from him. I was right. He best friend Meyer had gotten mixed up in the mob. Molly was the mob boss daughter. That night 5yrs before had been a set up gone wrong. Now, that he's moving up fast and he thinks he's going to get a title match against Parker his baby sister Trinity's fiance think again.

Now, Poor Grey is working for the mob boss Luciano. He is forced to throw every fight. Grey has found a new gym to train at. Parker is also part of it. When Grey went to jail Parker got his spot and his sister. Grey must be very careful for his sister sake. Trinity and his best friend Christina mean the world to him. The mob knows that and using them as leverage.

Meyer he can't even look at. But, still unfortunately needs him. Grey has no say about anything in his life. Until he finds out about an underground fight club. Where like the movie. The 1st rule about the fight club is you don't talk about the fight club. Grey loves it because there are no rules. He can fight the way he wants & can win. And, most importantly he has nobody telling him what to do. Until Meyer tells him they know. They know every move he's making. Grey doesn't 1/2 believe Meyer & 1/2 doesn't care. Until an example was made. Then, Grey realizes just how deep he's in.

Grey has Christina by his side. Grey finally realizes how truly he cares for her. And, her as well. I was def doing a dance because I loved them together before. And, was really upset when their relationship was cut short before it got a chance to take off. Now, they are back and ready to fight for Grey';s life back. They also were fighting for Trinity because she was in the dark. Getting married to a man deeply involved with the mob. There was a few people that Grey was fighting for. It wouldn't be easy and would be very hard & very dangerous. People's lives were at stake and would everyone get out alive?

My heart stopped about a dozen times!! Grey is such a good guy who got dealt a crappy hand by someone who was his oldest friend & trusted 100%. You will be on the edge of your seat for most of this book. You'll find yourself laughing at other times. Heather was good at showing you how much he would do to protect his sister & Christina. Those 2 woman he loved with everything. He had new good friends he trusted that were putting themselves on the line to help him. Grey never took that for granted. Meyer & Molly too. After what Meyer did he couldn't stand to look at him. But, still wanted to save him. Molly at the beginning of the book I wanted to get inside of the steel cage with her & beat her. But, by the end not so much.

Nobody but Heather could give us Greyland Pace and the rest of the characters. They could try but would fail!! Heather is that good. And, I'm looking forward to the next book that she is writing!!

No Fear by Heather Allen

This is the final book in the "No Regrets" series


Life is never what you think it will be. Betrayal knows no limits........

Knowing my best friend isn't who I thought he was, my girlfriend who I loved being someone I don't know.

Now I am in a world of mess and don't know how I will ever get out and keep my friends and family safe??

Things are spiraling out of control, will my life ever be safe and free again??

I am so glad I got around to finishing this series, the first book was left on such a cliff-hanger I wasn't sure what to expect. I have to say I am glad Greylan grew some balls, I think I have another book boyfriend to add to my ever growing list!!

This book is action packed, with most of the action taking place in the last quarter of the read, the build up to the finale of this book is well written and covers multiple people and topics so everything gets tied up nicely. I must admit I didn't think the ending would happen the way it did, I was not disappointed but it leads me to think there may be more to come from this story and some unfinished business with some of the characters.

I would love to see what happened next with some of the characters. Plus getting to hear more about Greylan is always a bonus!!


***** FIVE STARS *****

I thoroughly enjoyed No Regrets, the first book in the series the fact that it had a cliffhanger would normally put me off but I had this one, the second book to read straight away. My scoring for this may seem like a cop out again four stars but I cant give it any other score honestly its not the best book ever so cant give five stars but its worth more than three as I really enjoyed it not as much as the first which was really brilliant but still a great read and I’m not usually keen on “fighting/fighter” stories.

This books picks up where No Regrets left off (Greylan finding out his girl is Luciano’s daughter, the boss of the mob who Greylan is mixed up with due to no fault of his own).

Greylan is a born fighter and his friend from school has got him caught up with the mob and having to lose fights on their say so is something he struggles with. His sister is married to Parker who is now top dog and Grey is desperate to fight him but his love for his sister makes it hard to hate parker even though Grey knows Parker is in deep with the mob too.

I don’t want to give away many spoilers but this is a good read and I’m looking forward to reading more from Heather Allen.

We continue to follow Greylan as the plot was unraveled at the end of book one rolling into book two. More secrets are unraveled, new love interest, and a closing to Grey's story BUT possibly a spinoff?!

I do think the end of the book was a bit rushed to wrap it up but it was still a great read!

After reading both books, I hope there's a story on his sister, Trinity <3

This was a great ending to Grey's story. I love that he fights back against those who are trying to break him. I was really happy to see Christina back where I thought she belonged. Great story, very heart wrenching, but worth it in the end.

I had my doubts starting No Fear; with being left a little mad at the end of No Regrets. All I can say is No Fear turned me around! Meyer, I wanted to shake him or strangle him half the time, really redeemed himself. Grayland found happiness, and it was just a great read!
