When an MMA champion is faced with the sudden return of his former training partner, he must reconcile his unconquerable attraction to the man who abandoned him with their mutual desire for Lila, a woman who - like the rest of the MMA world - has no idea about their past.
A real fighter knows his strengths, his weaknesses. He fights and lives with them in mind, no holds barred. And Grant isn't just a fighter; he's a champion.
His weakness is Daniel, an up-and-coming welterweight who once lived, breathed and trained with him before skipping town for the West Coast.
Daniel's weakness is Grant, a light heavyweight champion who disrupted his life with an addictive intensity he's never found in anyone else and left him reeling.
Lila is a woman who grew up cageside, a rose among thorns. She's the only one they've ever wanted as badly as they want each other, and they can't fight the attraction. Can she?
Can't Fight It is a smoking hot standalone M/M/F ménage romance. Not part of a series. Previously published in 2015 as Gemini Rising by Fated Desires Publishing.
I write what I know and love: adult romance with blue-collar heroes and real-life flavor. Tattoos, handcuffs and men in uniform are a few of my favorite things, and it shows in my thirty+ published books.
I live in the South with my man in uniform, who I married for the entertainment value. Just kidding - it was the handcuffs, err, true love. ;)
So far, our happily ever after includes a couple kids, German Shepherd dogs and a mutual appreciation of timely 'that's what she said' jokes.
When I'm not writing, I love reading, good coffee, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and whatever outdoor adventures I can find.
I also love hearing from readers, so don't be shy! If you've enjoyed something I've written, hearing from you would make my day.
I love Ranae's books and thus one is no exception. I also love reading about menages, so this is a win-win for me. It's a short read, so there isn't space for much character development or a convoluted plot, but the trio come across as fully developed people, even if we don't see a lot of it. I kind of wish we could see more of them working through the challenges of living in a menage, but I never want the stories I like to end.
Can't Fight It: An MMA Ménage Romance by Ranae Rose
5 out of 5 stars
Review by Lorraine Leatham - Rainey Day Book Reviews
This book is definitely not for everyone given the unconventional relationships. I have to admit that this is not usually my type of book but I have read other books by Ranae Rose and wanted to see how she would handle this type of dynamic. Keep an open mind like I did and you won't be disappointed. It definitely has some very HOT M/M, M/F, and M/M/F scenes but this book is about the relationship between Daniel, Grant and Lila. It's really more than just the sex scenes. Daniel and Grant - a couple of MMA fighters as a couple were wonderful but Lila was the missing link that made everyone whole. Though the book was very short it had a lot packed into it yet it never felt rushed. Another great read. * I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review that is completely my own. *
