When A Champion Wants You

by Tina Martin

I’m thirty-four and single. Two years ago I decided to get serious with what I want out of life. But first, I have to get a wife and I know just the woman I want to settle down with. I’ve had my eyes on Melanie Summers for quite some time now and, since my brothers want to hire her as the new marketing manager at The Champion Corporation, I think it’s time I made my move. Hey, the straightforward approach worked for Dante. Why can’t it work for me? I’m so not ready for a relationship. But seeing my best friend Emily happily married makes me want to believe in true love again. But I’ve had my heart broken so many times, I’ve lost count. Plus, I carry a secret with me that is sure to send a man like Dimitrius Champion running for the hills, the same way it sent my ex, Scott, into the arms of another woman. ***The Champion Brothers series books are all standalone books.*** Book 1 - His Paradise Wife is Dante Champion's story. Book 2 - When A Champion Wants You is Dimitrius Champion's story. Book 3 - The Best Thing He Never Knew He Needed is Desmond Champion's story. Book 4 - Wives And Champions is a family novel. Book 5 - The Way Champions Love is Harding Champion's story. Book 6 - His By Spring (A Champion Sister Story) - Zoya Champion

Straight tear jerker

Man this story really had me tearful cause Melanie was really hurt when her ex dumbed her due to infertility issues but Dimutrius came along with unconditional love that she needed.

[Beverly · Rating 4 out of 5]

Enjoyable

Wow I don’t know how I really felt about Demetrius at the beginning of this story. He seemed extremely controlling to the point I was saying HECK NO! To all of his demands on Melanie. He eventually caused me to look at him differently when his love for her started to really show. Melanie disappointed me by not telling him the truth at the beginning of their relationship I felt like she robed them of some precious time together.
I really didn’t like the fact that neither of them could see the true value of being totally honest with each other. The thing he pulled
With her mew job infuriated me.. what made that okay without talking to her about it first. And I had hope that issue would be addressed in the epilogue but it was ( that’s really the only reason I gave it a four). Just glad that Unconditional Love Love won out in the end

[Malaika · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love this story!

I love how Dimitrius and Melanie healed each other’s hurts from past relationships by loving each other. It almost didn’t happen because of both of their stubbornness but I’m glad they had people supporting them with positivity. Side note: Scott is a jerk for what he did to Melanie in that restaurant. It wasn’t enough that he left her but he had to still disregard her feelings.

[Yvonne Daniels · Rating 5 out of 5]

Enjoyable

OH My! this is only the second book in this series and it's so captivating. The story is exciting and so tantalizing. But I must say it can make you smile and sad in the same reading but it's still fantastic. I have also said "oooh" on more than one occasion with the incredibly descriptive scenes written While I really enjoyed the characters and storyline and found them all to be one that I thoroughly enjoyed, and if you are like myself you will find so much excitement with all of the couples. The author did a fantastic job of building up the passionate tension and teasing readers with it as much as she did with the characters. The encounters have all been so captivating that you will easily come to expect this from these guys. Again I must say this isn't just your typical romance, since there is a element of sadness to them all. Throughout the entire series there’s always something that’s just simmering beneath the surface, and that along with the depth of the main couples emotions makes each story such a page turner. They All Are A Must Read!!

Demetrius & Melanie

The love story that was almost over before it started due to a secret. Mr. Champion is borders on being overbearing, and for sure All Man. He’s not a testosterone shy - likely he has some extra. This brother comes at a girl with a strong fierce overtaking love. There is heat in the story but no premarital endeavors. I intend to go back and read Emily and Dante’s story to determine if I want to read the entire series. These brothers are fierce - like a rabbit being attacked by a lion.

[Michele Hallahan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Awwww

This was nutty and sweet all mixed together. This time around we have "won't take no for an answer" brother. After doing a complete 360 on our h, the H jumps in feet first and full speed ahead on the love train. Taken completely by surprise, the h is totally against this speedy relationship, especially since she's holding on to a huge secret. Again, very enjoyable but light on the steamy parts. I loved the ending, it was just perfect.

[BeLinda P. · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Champion brothers are a force to be reckoned with. The pursuit of Melanie Summers by Dimitrius Champion went from 0 to 100. Some actions seemed over the top but when you know what you want to go full speed ahead. Melanie not being forthcoming about her situation even after Dimitrius bared his soul caused so many assumptions and heartache to take place that could have been avoided. In the end, there is always the possibility that what you thought was impossible can become possible.

[Marsha Barnes · Rating 5 out of 5]

When Love Is Real

Dimitrius is a strong, confident man. He knows what he wants. He set his sights on Melanie. She was stubborn, but attracted to him. She gives in to his crazy proposal and falls for him hard. Secrets aren't good and can do damage, but when love us real...it's real.

[Marsha Brown · Rating 4 out of 5]

Never too late for dreams ❤️

This was a first read from this author. I was irritated at first with one of the characters but that a good thing.

It had good plots on communication, family and friendships. I really love these books that are normalizing great careers within a family ❤️

[Vernell Renee Howard Griffin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awesome Read!

Melanie was getting on my nerves at first, especially when giving Emily advice that she should've taken as well, but I will digress because we all have our own insecurities. I'm just glad that Melanie got over her fears and let love lead the way, because it put her on the road of getting her happy ending. Loved this journey. ReneeG

No Conditions

There is nothing like an Alpha male who states emphatically who, what, when and where, Dimitrius Champion does just that. A very touching story. Ms. Martin finessed it in away you could understand, feel sorry for, and be angry with the characters all at once.

Champion Brothers

I am really enjoying this series. The brothers really know what they want and are not afraid to after the women of their heart. They are definitely worth reading about.

[R Ellis Jones · Rating 5 out of 5]

These two I thought was going to have a hard time but the chemistry was to hott for them and when he found out the reason she didn't want to stay with him it broke his heart, he let her know that all he wanted was her

[Mary Calton Gerard · Rating 5 out of 5]

Exceptional✍🏾

This series is fascinating, the love scenarios the "Champion" brothers use to get their ladies to marry them. The situations the men use, had me trying to determine the next scene. This author has gained my attention and I have quickly a fan.

[Trinn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Melanie and Dimitrius is a slow burn.....While he is very upfront as too his intentions. Melanie is harboring a secret.

A secret which causes her to beg off relationships in fear of being hurt.

Through trials and many tribulations they are able to overcome their issues

[Venise · Rating 4 out of 5]

Chosen Love

This story expresses bravery and willingness to accept what can happen within a committed relationship. Though the path seemed affordable, some work had to be done to make results agreeable. The family continues to support their belief in being there for their members, and they are stronger for being that way.

[pamela gentry · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow loving it!

Hope Remains

I loved how Melanie's fertility issues were discussed and tackled head on in her relationship with Dimitrius. She was eventually able to have it all

[Rose Sanders · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good Read

This was a good follow-up to book 1. I didn't expect Melanie and Dimitri us to be as complicated as they were.

[Jackie · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Mrs Tee Booktique · Rating 5 out of 5]

Better

The flow of this story was much better than book 1. I appreciate that this series is written in tandem with minimal time warps. I am confused as to how they were able to resolve the fertility issue so quickly.

[Ava Smith-forrest · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a Champion a Champion gets.

Demetrius with an arrogance and passion almost to strong for words loved Mel. The passion was so forceful it could have pushed her away. But the love God was on his side. I am ready for book three.
Good read
