Fighter: A Small Town MMA Romance
“Most people believe there are two ways to react to a crisis. Allow it to consume you or come out stronger. But there’s a third option, love. Some of us learn to love the fire.”
Christina Palmer has no time for distractions. Between caring for her mother as she battles lung cancer and volunteering for the community’s eco-consciousness committee, romance is the last thing on her mind.
Jacob "Iron Fist" Sewell is an amateur MMA fighter desperate to prove himself. Grappling with a criminal past and anger issues, he’s fighting not just in the ring, but for his family’s respect.
When Jacob’s community service hours put him in Christina’s path, their worlds collide, sparking an undeniable attraction. But Christina’s responsibilities begin to pull her in every direction, and Jacob’s rush to prove himself pushes him to the edge of self-destruction.
As their feelings grow, Jacob’s anger issues rear up while Christina’s mother’s condition declines, leaving them both distraught. Can they come together and grow stronger from their crises, or will they get burned in the fire?

A strong and very interesting story. I think the author handled the emotional sections exceptionally. In particular, the sexual aspects were very detailed. The anger management was well woven into the book.
It was a very quick read but I knew that ahead of reading.
Overall a good read with strong writing.

This was a great short story I managed to read in in a hour and half.
It does feel a bit instalove but as you go through the book that shows less and it’s actually a beautiful story. Shows love, family struggles, death, cancer, addiction, violence. Please check the triggers as they is quiet a lot.
I really enjoyed it and I would read more from this writer in the future.
It as a bit of spice which is enough in a short book.

This is a sweet shot story with some spice.
I was a quick enjoyable read. I particularly liked the the MMC is an MMA fighter, I’ve missed reading this genre.
Jacob is struggling with anger management issues and is trying to prove himself by succeeding in MMA.
Christina has so much on her plate with a sick mother, a job and school. She most definitely does not suffer fools lightly.
For a short read, the characters go through quite a lot of challenges to get to their HEA.
