I know you all are dying for this after the crazy cliffhanger of Uncaged Love 2! Here it is!

Make sure you read this series in order!

[Candace · Rating 4 out of 5]

Like the earlier books in the series, this one is an action-packed, emotional roller-coaster ride from start to finish. There isn't a dull moment to be found. The downside to so much drama in so few pages is that it can be a bit much and leaves your head spinning. I'm still loving this series, but do think that a little more build-up to big events and "recovery" time would be beneficial for the development of the storyline.

This book starts with Colt seemingly ditching Jo, to return to his father's place to train. No "Dear John" letter. No goodbye phone call. No "It's not you, It's me," brush-off. Nothing. Harsh! As expected, Jo gets depressed, questions what she really means to Colt. Yadda, yadda, yadda.

The only reason I docked this book a star, versus the five stars the preceding books received, is because both Jo and Colt behaved like dumbasses at multiple points in this book. I'm talking about window-licking, running upstairs while the axe murderer is chasing you, STUPID! Did both of them hit their heads?

For example, Colt is surprised to find out that his father and members of his camp would sabotage their relationship. Shocker! How could neither of them see that coming? Really!?!

Then, after being devastated by their break-up, Jo decides that she might be bad for Colt after all. What does she do? She decides to leave him, without a word, if he doesn't win his big fight. Now, that sounds like a genius idea! Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't she meet him after his prior girlfriend ditched him...while he was consistently getting his butt kicked!?! Like I said, DUMB!

Since I have loved this series and I'm hoping this lack of reasoning was only a temporary set-back, I will keep reading. The good still outweighs the bad, for sure. I just had to get that out. ;)

Oh, for fuck's sake, could this go any more shittier, for Jo and Colt?
Nooooo....

OK, Colt loses his fighting matches cause he can't fuckin focus...



and Jo thinks she's a bad charm, it's her that brings him bad luck or the fuck ever, jeeez



Go, train, dammit!!!

these two were made for each other...and they can't stay away BUT there are more serious issues they have to deal first before they can fight for each other...

[Roz Ward · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fudging hell! Screaming at my kindle, heart in my throat, tummy upside down and inside out......noooooooooooooo! That last page had me crying like a baby...why!!! I feel so unbelievably sad for Jo and Colt :-(
Mad Mary...I'm sure I was throwing myself around with each blow of the fight, so real and believable.
Parker...I actually like him a lot. I know it was only a brief encounter but I warmed to him straight away.
Brittany...I still hate her!
Lani...All is not what it seems and my head is in overdrive trying to figure it all out!
Annie...I'm feeling very dubious!
I need more and I need it now!

[Jenifer Burris · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely love this series!!

I was hooked from the first book. The writing draws you in, desperately turning the pages to find out what's going to happen next. I love Jo! What else can happen to this poor girl? What a crappy life she's had. I can't wait to see how this story comes together so she can finally get the HEA she deserves.

At least this book didn't have quite the cliffhanger as the last one did, but I still need the next one now.

Just when you think things are going smoothly, Knight throws another spin on the story. We see Colt unable to fight while in a relationship, and the return of his ex pretending that she needs Jo's training. I'm glad that Jo is a heroine who, so far, has been able to think through her feelings and react rationally. I only wonder if Colt can do the same thing. Why is he unable to fight when he's dating someone? Why is the ex back in the picture? What is Jo going to do about all of this; will she be able to keep her rational thinking? So many questions, and 2 parts of the serial left to get some answers. I can't wait!

[J · Rating 5 out of 5]

Holy ClIFFHANGER! No, No, No...I was not prepared for that ending. Book 4, where are you. I NEED you. J.J. Knight has done it again, kept me a prisoner of her writing while everyone at home is left to fend for themselves. Great book..hope 4 & 5 are here sooner than later!

Jo is in the limo with Colt’s dad. He is telling her all these things about him and how she doesn’t really mean anything to Colt. Then he tries to pay for off. She is pissed its either jump from a moving car or stab him with his own pen. She decides to jump out the car. Jo runs into a local park, running into a darker more foresty area of the park. She is worried that he maybe able to find her using the phone Colt got her. So she turns it off and takes out the battery. When she finally gets home she texts Colt figuring his dad probably knows where she lives anyway. When the phone comes on there are a flood of text from Colt. The last one says he is coming over that his dad told him she jumped out of the car. Now that she is home safe and has had some communication with Colt all her ache and pains are catching up with her. Covered in dirt and dried blood with destroyed clothing. Colt knocks on the door and when she opens it his eyes go crazy when he sees her. Colt is worried about her and the fact that she jumped from a moving car. She explains it was that or kill his dad. He wants her to get checked out properly but she says she is fine. They take a shower together so he can help her clean her injuries. Which of course leads other more interesting things, steamy things. Colt leaves the next morning to go to Santa Barbara to see his father. When she gets to work Monday there is a moving truck. She finds out that Colt is gone and will be training in Santa Barbara from now on. She tries to contact Colt but when she looks at her phone it says service disconnected. Jo keeps training using the work out see learned while Colt was there. After a couple weeks Buster and Nate think she is ready for her first match. She is set to fight Mad Mary Mercury. She wins his first fight. This should be a happy day but all she can think is that she wishes Colt where there. Monday rolls around and Buster is fielding lots of call about people wanting a match with Jo the Hurrican. Lani suggests they go see someone else she knows fight. That it will help her to see other people fight. They go and Jo meets Lani’s friend Parker. After the match she finds out Colt is there at the match. What now? Jo thinks that he doesn’t want anything to do with her anymore. How is he going to react to seeing Jo? Will he even care that she is there?

I really like this series. Every book is like a cliff hanger since there is 5 to the series and you only get a little bit at a time. I like all the suspense between Jo and Colt. You are always wondering what they will do next, how they will get over or thought what ever they are against this time. The story is very well written and keeps you wanting more. The characters are all wonderful not just the main characters. Jo has had a hard life and you just want her to have what she wants this time. I like how real this story is. It isn’t just a fairy tale type story. They seem to always find a way to be together no matter what they come up against. I can’t wait for the next one volume in this set.

I was given this book as a gift in return for an honest review.

[Michel Reinhard (Saucy Southern Readers) · Rating 5 out of 5]

The moment the latest installment of the Uncaged Love serial goes live, I am one clicking and devouring it. I am so engrossed with this story, the characters, and their messed up lives. I want to know what is going to happen next. I love that we see Jo growing into a stronger woman that is overcoming her personal demons. She has insecurities where Colt is concerned and with good reason. He runs hot and cold. He is secretive about his fighting career and aspirations. But he is also a passionate, caring man with a crap load of pressure weighing on his shoulders.

In the last installment, Jo threw herself from the limo after Colt’s father tries to buy her off with a check for $10,000.00. She would rather eat dirt than be bribed. His implications that she is just another “bruised cherry” in Colt’s path to becoming a world champion fighter is downright insulting and striking at Jo’s deepest insecurities.

Once Colt finds out about his father’s actions he is ready for a confrontation. His father has been controlling his career and personal life for too long. He leaves for Santa Barbara to confront his father and that is the last Jo hears from Colt. Her phone has been disconnected, all other paths of communications have been shut down, and his training team has pulled out of the gym where she works. Rumor has it that Colt is now on a winning streak now that he is away from her. She is hurt, dumbfounded, and feeling a little lost. But Jo is a fighter at heart and she embraces that very trait.

She begins training to become a fighter. With the support of her gym, she becomes Josefina Hurricane Jones. She is a force to be reckoned with in the ring.

Jo and Colt reunite after they figure out where the miscommunications are coming from. Colt has been training hard and has to prove that his personal life is not affecting his fighting life. He cleans up his camp and rids himself of his father’s spies.

Just as things are looking positive, the past comes resurfacing in Jo’s gym. Colt’s former girlfriend signs on for training under another alias. Colt’s next fight turns into a disaster like his previous fights.

Jo knows what she must do. She cannot cost Colt his career. She cannot play in his world. It is time to move on for good.

Uncaged Love Vol. 4 cannot get here fast enough. This installment left me with my stomach in knots. It left me with questions about Colt’s past and fearful for his future. I ached for Jo. I have a feeling that before all is said and done, the past and Colt’s father are going to throw a lot more punches. This is going to be the biggest fight in Colt’s life. The ultimate prize will be Jo’s love.

[Sakura · Rating 4 out of 5]

I can’t decide if Jo’s my hero or my girl crush… Ehhh, let’s go with both.

If you thought Jo was awesome before, you’ll love her even more in this third installment. She certainly shows off her badass side as she embraces the hurricane and becomes a real fighter.
Even though life isn’t terrible like it used to be, it’s still throwing curveballs at her. She’s so strong though and her confidence in herself keeps building.

“Fighting is about a lot of things. And you have them all. Skill. Training. Heart.”~Lani

Without Colt by her side, she focuses on her fighting. However, she can’t keep her man out of her head. She can’t help but be bothered with the way things are between them. She just doesn’t understand what happened. Both are out of the loop and other people are against their relationship and will stop at nothing to keep them apart.

Both Colt and Jo are too tough and stubborn to give up on each other. Once everything is out in the open, they’re ready to raise hell for whoever tries to get in their way.

I still want to punch Brittany, except now I want to punch her in the throat. While she seems to care for Colt, it’s obvious her loyalty truly lies with his dad.

At first I liked Lani, but she was just a simple secondary character for me. In this book, she really catches my attention and know I want to know more about her!

New Character Alert!!! There were a couple new characters, but one of great importance. A mysterious Annie pops up in the story. All I have to say is that I’ve got my eye on her and Jo has her guard up.

Cliffhanger is kind of pretty awesome. It leaves you guessing and eager to find out what’s next for the characters. I have my theories in place and can’t wait to find out!

This "bruised cherry" is kicking ass and taking names. Jo is no longer in the mood to let anyone push her around and she certainly isn't going to let it get her down. Rather than accept the $10,000 bribe to walk away from Colt, as if Jo could actually be bought, she jumps out of the speeding limo and makes her way home. Colt is beyond pissed that his dad is meddling in his affairs again and this time he decides that it's time to "clean house" and get rid of everyone who is spying on him for his father.

When Colt goes back to Santa Barbara to speak with his father, Jo is left picking up the pieces when Colt doesn't come back and his training equipment is hauled out of Buster's gym. She is not only devastated that he left her without a warning, but she is pissed that he left Buster hanging too. So rather than sit around and feel sorry for herself, Jo picks up her training and actually gets a real MMA fight booked for herself. A real fight. She even gets a trainer to coach her and get her ready for her fight.

There was a lot of miscommunication between Colt and Jo, both feel that the other one didn't want to speak with them, but things get ironed out...for the most part. Colt is taking back some control of his life, and he is even winning his fights. He finally is back in the right head space, but is it because there is a little distance between he and Jo? Or is it something else?

Jo still works at the gym, training other girls how to be fighters like her, but she doesn't expect to meet someone from Colt's past--the girl he was in love with before Jo. The girl who nearly ruined his career when she disappeared without a trace. And things are about to get a little ugly when Jo makes the ultimate ultimatum: If Colt can't win with her in his life, she will walk away without a word, she'll vanish into thin air. I have a feeling that the next book is going to be an emotional one...because at this point, Jo is starting to walk away from him as he is losing one of his most important fights.

Will Colt finally be able to pull it together? Or will he not only lose his place in the league, but Jo as well? Will Annie become a problem for Jo and Colt? Will Jo actually be able to walk away from Colt for good? And will Jo really be able to hide from her past? Or will it rear it's ugly head? I have a feeling that the next two books are going to be intense ones.

I received an ARC for an honest review by the author.

I am in utter sadness to see that Jo and Colt can't seem to be together. Just when they think everything is good between them, something or something has to interfere. Jo was approached by Colt's dad and was told to leave him because he couldn't seem to focus on his fights when he was dating. Jo didn't believe that and she wasn't going to let him stand in the way between her and Colt.

Lani, who is a friend of Jo's invites her to see a match, a good friend of Lani's is going to fight and Jo agrees to go with her. It seems like Lani had a feeling that Colt was going to be there and she is trying to set them back up. It seems like fate is in their hands because that's when Colt and Jo run into each other again and they find out that they were pretty much being kept apart by others.

Jo doesn't believe she is a distraction for Colt and she thinks he could win the title even with her being by his side. But when his big match comes up and she is sitting right in front, he ends up getting distracted when he looks at her and it seems like the fight is not going to go well for him. Jo is determined to leave his life if he loses this fight because that's when she knows that he can't separate his personal life from his professional life. If she has to sacrifice her love and leave him in order for him to start winning then that's what she will do.

I am so into this series that I get saddened when I come to the end and have to wait another few weeks to get the next volume. I have to say that I seriously love this series and I am not a big fan of MMA books. I have read a few and they were good, but this one just seems to keep me captivated. I just love how JJ keeps us going by leaving us hanging after each volume, until the last one, of course. I can't express how much I love JJ's style of writing, her books are interesting and very entertaining. The love scenes in this series have been HOT!

This series has been winning 5 stars from me because I just LOVE IT! Looking forward to getting volume 4, I like the fact that she doesn't take forever in sending us the next installment.

I totally recommend this series!!

Jo arrives to Busters Gym and sees all the training equipment that Colt used being hauled off, she has no clue what's going on. Buster informs her that Colt is no longer training there. Colts father and his so called friends are trying to put distance between Jo and Colt so that he keeps his head in the fight instead of on Jo, so he can win his matches.

Colt thinks Jo is avoiding him, Jo thinks Colt is avoiding her. Jo starts training more and wins her first fight against Mad Mary!

Lani tried to hook Jo up with another MMA fighter, and to Jo's surprise Colt happens to be at that fight.

Colt shows up at her place and their misunderstandings are suddenly forgotten as the chemistry takes over! Jo says, "Colt is here. We've found each other again. And everything I thought had ended was only disrupted by a father who cannot be trusted. We won't let anyone come between us again." He's even tracked down the person who bought the necklace she pawned, and bought it back! They find out that they did try to contact each other, but someone had Jo's phone shut off and her number routed to phone no one answered.

Colt and Jo continue to train for their upcoming fights. Jo attends Colts fight and all is going well, until he catches a glimpse of Jo and he loses it. Jo knows as much as it pains her, she needs to walk away and so Colt can win.

Jo keeps training at Busters Gym and has a new girl come in to train with her. Even though Annie said she has never trained before, Jo can see she's hiding something and has come to the conclusion that Annie is Colts former girlfriend.

I'm sure hoping that Jo and Colt get their HEA, after all that they've been subject too, they deserve it! Can't wait for the next book!

The 3rd installment continued with Jo's encounter with Colt's father and she literally showed him that she isn't someone who would cower over him. I thought it was very brave of her to do that jumping out of the limo stunt. She continued to have trust in Colt despite hearing what Colt's father said but grew disappointed as days turned into weeks and there was no news of him except a line that says "service is unavailable". Buster gym had also removed all of Colt's training gears and stuffs and Jo began feeling despondent until Lani suggested that Jo continue with her practice and training.

I was happy to read of Jo growing stronger and more mature. She isn't the clingy, dependent sort of girl and honestly it wouldn't have suited her. She decided to move on with her life and prove to herself that she can find drive even without Colt. With the help of her gym members, she trained and was booked for her first cage fight.

Colt and Jo's destiny hasn't ended after all when they met by coincidence, during a fight in which Lani and Jo attended as guests. The story unfolds to more plots and schemes to keep Colt and Jo away from each other and as it turns out, it was required in order for Colt to concentrate on his training and win his fights. During this short reunion, Jo saw that she would have to make the ultimate decision; one that challenges the depths of her love for Colt.

Once again, JJ Knights delivers an intense story. All the characters are well written and the story flows seamlessly despite being in parts. And as always, this has another cliffhanger ending. I would like to commend again on JJ Knight's fast writing skills. I know I won't have to wait very long before the release of the next installment and you can bet I'll be counting down to the days.

Uncaged Love #3 starts with our heroine jumping from a moving limo into the unknown on the middle of the night, seriously how can you not be hooked with such opening scene! Jo, our brave heroine is cutting ties with people who she thinks are out to hurt her by separating her from Colt "The Gunner" McClure. Since these shady people got their objective, she started to train and as weeks pass by we see a more confident, stronger and mature Jo. With the help of fellow gym members, Jo gets booked for a first cage fight and it is no surprise for any how she is able to channel her heartache into the fuel that allows her to win and jump starts a new career as "The Hurricane" cage fighter. Most characters are back with Zero being her rock and Lani playing her physical trainer/girl buddy who will plan a good intention intervention that will lead to our cross stared lovers being reunited. J.J. Knight delivers her best and more intense scenes yet and THAT cage fight should come with a warning...so hot! But there is humor and wonder as both of our principal characters see each other as their best and worst, facing triumph and probably defeat and then a new twist that could translate in more heartache... who is the newbie at the gym?

Uncaged Love #3 has intrigue, lot of cage fight action and love so hot and intense that I really don't want it to end, hurry J.J. Knight!

JJ Knight does it again. Gives us a great snippet of Colt and Jo and leaves us wanting more.
After Jo jumps out of the moving limo instead of doing something to Colt's father she tries to get in touch with Colt with no luck. The phone he gave her finally gives her a message she was afraid of, that the service had been disconnected. She is working with Lani at the dead gym because Colt's father moves all the equipment out of Buster's back to San Fran and everyone in the gym is watching her. Buster decides to try and get her trained to fight. Jo has her first fight and wins, easily after the second round. Jo and the team go out to eat where she finds out Colt has been fighting and winning. Could what everyone said been true, that she was the problem? Lani takes Jo to a fight to meet her lifelong friend Parker, and it seems Parker has a crush on Jo, after her fight goes love on the web. But guess who shows up at the fight but Colt. They both figure out that instead of not texting each other and missed calls, his team was behind it. They can't get back to her place fast enough. But in the back of her mind, is she the problem if he has started to win? And who walks in the gym to start to train per her fathers instructions?
If you love something, set it free.
If it comes back to you, it is yours.
If it doesn't, it never was.
Well, let's see what happens with this next book.
I love it and thank you again JJ.

Jo is flying through the air after jumping out of the limo, trying to get away from Colt's father. She is not sure if he wants to pay her to leave Colt alone or get rid of her for good. Colt shows up at her apartment later that night and she is bruised and bloody and Colt takes care of her. When he leaves to talk to his father, he doesn't answer her calls or text and when so goes to the gym, they are moving all the new equipment that came with Colt. He is leaving Buster's gym and going to his father's gym in Santa Barbara. While is hasn't heard from Colt, Jo continues her training. Buster and Coach says she is ready for her first fight. And it is with Mad Mary, a tough fighter that has brute strength on her side. She wants Colt at her first fight since he believed in her. But not being able to get in touch with him, it is useless to wonder. Can she win the fight? Will she ever find out why Colt left her? Colt is winning a few fights and she is happy for him. Can he continue to win? Will his father and everyone else that wants to keep the apart, succeed? This is a quick read and will have you saying "NO, you can't end it now!" Can't wait for more. **I received a copy from the author in exchange for my honest review.**

Book 3 continues on with the story of Jo and her first love, MMA fighter Colt. In this installment, Jo and the reader learn that there is much more in their way than her inexperience and tragic past. Colt's father, friends, and trainer are all against this distraction from Colt's career, and extreme measures are being taken to keep them apart. But how hard are these lovers-who-happen-to-be-fighters willing to fight? In this book, Jo continues to grow and change, and discover who she is, and as it turns out, she is a fighter-in more ways than one. I'm excited to see what the final two books will bring. Obviously, in the end, Jo and Colt will end up together. That's actually one thing I really enjoy about JJ's series-that they're unrealistically fairytale-ish in their conclusions. But if I wanted sad and painful reality, I'd watch the news. I read these novels to escape reality and live vicariously through characters in their hot, exciting and dramatic worlds. I'm just waiting to see how the story moves on after Jo leaves the arena.

Lord I wish I could give more than five stars cause boy this one sure knocked it out of the park this time .... I am so addicted to this series that it's not even funny !!! I seriously feel like I'm wishy my life away waiting on every Friday for the next book to come out and as soon as it does I've got it and I'm reading it cause I just can't stand it cause I want to know what is gonna happen with Jo and Colt. As you can tell I'm so excited after reading this book it's hard to tell about the book but honestly my best advise you just need to read the books cause they are great and Jj Knight defiantly knows how to get you hooked and although the books have cliffhangers they honestly have you so addicted by that point you are dying to get to the next book. With Jo coming into the fighting world and having her first fight and Colt trying to get his MMA fighting back but he can't seem to win cause he can't keep his head on straight and Colt people are steady trying to get rid of Jo ...by the end of this book I was in knots cause I had a feel of how it was gonna end but or how I figured it. Ignt be left hanging so now I'm patiently waiting til the next book .... Hurry

I was sitting on the edge of my seat, waiting to find out what would come next after finishing book two and the unlikely meeting of Colt’s dad. Well J. J. Knight you did it again, you left me with a cliffhanger that has me holding my breath. The story of Jo and Colt is explosive and unpredictable. I wanted to yell, cry and throw my kindle when I came to the end of this volume.
All of the additions of more character time the building relationship/friendship with Lani, the meeting with Parker at the fight, Jo beginning to compete in her own fights (and doing well), and Brittany (which I still hate), just adds to the story and the journey that we are traveling on.
The journey that Jo has been on and is heading on is one that should not need to happen; I just have to say NOOOOOO!!!!!! This can’t happen, please tell me it is all a dream. I have said it before and I will say it again, thank goodness these books come out close together because the wait is torturous. Thank you J. J. Knight for an amazing series with amazing characters 

Thanks to the author, I was allowed to read a complimentary copy of part 3 of this series for an honest review. Again, as with parts 1 & 2, if you do not want to read cliff-hangers, you should wait until all five parts are published.

Part two ended with a major cliffhanger and this one picks up right at that point. Jo runs from Colt's father and suddenly finds herself without Colt. In the midst of her despair, Jo trains and becomes the fighter Colt had wanted her to be. After a chance meeting between the two, they discover that they were kept apart unknowingly. The reunion between the two is sweet and hot at the same time. Despite the reunion, Jo knows that fighting is Colt's life and during their time apart, he was very successful. The next fight will tell the tale. Will Jo give up everything she feels for Colt so that he can succeed in fighting? Cliffhanger #3...we will know soon!

Five stars for Parts 1, 2 & 3! This story keeps me on edge and I can't wait for #4!

WOW....still as amazing as the first one!!
OK if you have been following along you know I have been reading these books as they have come out...I'm very happy to be on a list to get a copy in exchange for an honest review as it means I get them nice and quick....and oh my goodness I think each one I enjoy more! I absolutely LOVE the story of these characters! Each time a new book comes out I drop what I'm reading (and I've been reading some other good books!) as I NEED to see what happens next. I read a lot of romance and I find you get to the point you can predict what will happen next...not with these books!! Each one has kept me guessing! As always, I still wish these were longer so I didn't have to leave my happy world so quickly! But JJ Knight is an AMAZING writer and I can't wait for number 4....and 5....at which point I'm sure I will be very disappointed that I'm done them all! Then I will need to move on to her next masterpiece!!

Wait... What...OMG NO WAY!!!! Best one yet!,

They just keep getting better and better... But the torture of now having so many questions throughout the book that aren't answered!! AHHHH, it's killing me!!! This one had me sad, then happy, then on the verge of tears then happy again and ending in mad/sad/confused. So many emotions and I really feel like I'm witnessing the whole thing first hand. I'm just absorbed!

If your one that likes to read books in a complete series, I suggest you do so with this one. I am one of the worst people when it comes to series. With all the emotions and questions and cliff hangers it's just so addiciting. I have such a hard time waiting for the next release.. But on the good side, you don't have to wait long... just a week is all cause JJ Knight is rocking these out every Friday and for that she is cra cra awesomness!!!!!

DAMN! I got this ARC copy tonight and couldn't put it down. Jo is as fantastic as she's been throughout this series, so far. My heart broke for her going through the pain she's been suffering through on account of her treatment by Colt's team. His father is a total dickwad, as is Britt. I would love to see the pair of them get what's coming to them. This installments ending came about way to fast again.
I am looking very forward to seeing how things go for Jo and Colt. I am hoping things get straightened out for them. I have decided that once all five installments are out I am going to read them from one straight through to the fifth, because this story is worth it.
I have to say that if you never read anything else, you have got to read this. J.J., you have surpassed your Revenge series with this one. Keep it up.

Cliffhanger
Series

Jo survived her jump from a moving car, and Colt shows up to check on her. But then he leaves town, Buster's gym loses their equipment and it's radio silence. So quiet, especially with the phone he gave her disconnected. Jo has her first fight and Lani takes her to meet another fighter boy. Then Colt finds her talking to him. Things are not what they seem, and Brittany is still a problem. What will they do?

Over 18 readers only for all books in this series except Vol 1.

So when we ended part 2 Jo had met Colts Dad. Slime ball is a better way to describe him. She jumps from the car and that's where we ended it. Thankfully the book starts up right there. Jo is once again alone in her life. Bruised but alive she picks herself back up and goes back to apartment. Colt shows up and she tells him what happened. He is mad, but sticks with her.

Then Monday happens. Jo gets to work only to find out that Colt has pulled out of the gym. Buster is upset because it is a huge money loss for him. Jo tries to contact Colt, but has no luck. Days go by with no contact and Jo decides he must be done with her. So she starts to pick her life back up and restart it PreColt. Jo decides to try something different and starts to build a friendship with Lani. She begins training with her to take her mind off the hurt of losing Colt.

After training for awhile Jo takes a huge step and enters her first fight. Needless to say, of course she wins! However, still no sign of Colt, so the win is bittersweet. Lani senses her disappointment and decides to take her out to a real MMA fight where her friend Parker is fighting. They meet him before the fight and he flirts with Jo. She decides to give him a shot and tells him she'll see him after the fight. Parker wins and Jo is about to go back to his room when suddenly there is Colt! After a heated discussion they both realize that no one in their lives can be trusted because everyone is against them. They once again get back together and Colt has another fight.

Once again this section ends in a cliff hanger because Jo walks out on the fight. Thankfully for me I had part 4 to start into right away!! Like i have said I really have enjoyed this series, but honestly if I were you I would wait until all 5 are out so you don't have to wait!!
