He met the h in a pub but wakes the next morning with ow but there's no sex scene detailed. He said that he doesn't remember last night but he hadn't managed to come and hes wanking in memory of the h if he doesn't remember how does he know he didn't had sex with this ow?

This was a pretty quick, easy read. I wasn't blown away by the connection of the characters, but it was there enough to keep me interested. I enjoyed how up front Knox was about wanting to marry Lennon and why he wanted to marry her. I found it refreshing that there were no secrets between them. There was a bit of drama, but was always cleared up rather quickly. If you're looking for a book that's an on-the-edge-of -your-seat exciting, this really isn't it, but if you're looking for something quick, a bit unrealistic and mostly mindless fun, this is a good one. There is really nothing great about this, but also nothing bad. I'm glad it wasn't any longer because it started dragging at the end, but a cute story overall.

I gave this book 2 stars for the dirty talk and the possessive, protective, nature of the Irish alpha hero...but that is about all. It started off promising with an Irish UFC fighter Knox O'Connor...yummmm. He meets Lennon in a bar where she bartends and some sparks fly. Lennon was a good girl with a bit of a feisty side...which suddenly disappears almost immediately. Knox then finds out to nail an endorsement he has to change his manwhore image and get married. Instantly he knows Lennon is his girl. He finally convinces her to marry him and a series of ridiculous events ensue...and exactly where the story lost me. Too many unbelievable story lines. And I'm not bitching because it's unbelievable. I'm bitching because of how many unbelievable things happened. And the writing was a bit cheesy.

I hate leaving low stars or anything derogatory about a book because I know the author Has put a lot into their work but I have to say I couldn't get into this book. I hoped it would get better but for me it just didn't do it. I think the Insta love was too much. I couldn't grasp the characters and I think I was confused a lot. I have never not finished a book I don't believe so I kept pushing myself but it still never clicked for me. But this is my opinion others may love it and get something I don't because it's true no one reads the same book.

Too fast
It was a little too fast to be enjoyable. He asked her to marry him, she says no, the next time they see each other he goes to town on her. Time after that he goes at it again, and she agrees to marry him and time after that they do the dirty deed and they are in love and talking about kids. Really? There's no part where he explains why he needs her as his wife... Just "will you marry me?" A couple of dirty scenes and they're head over heels. No thank you!

DNF.
This book. Wow.
For starters, there are so many editing and grammar mistakes it is hard to overlook. Secondly, the plot is a damn mess.
Knox and Lennon meet at the very beginning of the book, but this "plot" doesn't really get moving until Knox needs a wife. You see, Nike won't sign an endorsement contract with him until he cleans up his public image and gets a green card. Nevermind the fact that Nike, an international corporation, would never ask someone to be an American citizen just to hock some shoes that aren't even made here. But whatever, he needs to get a green card and an American wife. So he is going to ask Lennon, whom he has known for 0.5 seconds. He originally puts it across to her as a business arrangement wherein they will not need to love one another, will only stay married for a year or two, tops, and where they can hopefully consummate the marriage. He spends a very brief amount of in story time chatting her up, trying to convince her, and eating off her China in the storage room. After this mind blowing tongue action, btw, she comes out of holding hands with him and super giddy. This is inconsistent with who she's been in the story thus far.
Regardless, she's like so not going to marry him unless he loves her. A day or two after that she says yes yes yes to the marriage, because they do it in the boxing ring at his private gym where he suddenly says that he wants to get her pregnant, makes her agree to letting him make her pregnant, and they confess their never-ending, passionate love for each other.
At the point where she moves into the home he bought in Boston and signs legal documents in preparation for the wedding, I had to quit this book. Knox, who is a huge playboy and who doesn't want to get married initially, says that she doesn't need to sign the marriage agreement papers if she doesn't want to because they totes love each other. It is insta-love and very poorly done at that.
This book would have been better served to play it this way: she has money troubles, he needs to clean up his public image for whatever reason (i.e. He's getting too old and his sponsorships are drying up & getting married could open new sponsorship doors in which he could make millions, he CAN'T go back home to Ireland and needs his green card, etc.) and she's hard up for money too. They enter into an agreement, marry, and consummate the marriage because it isn't legal otherwise, then slow burn for a while.
Plus, in reading some of the other reviews I see that the plot is not going to get any better and will in fact become even more of a fucking mess. So, I'm out.

I don't really know where to start with this book. I loved Knox's accent and possessive, sexy attitude, but I felt conflicted some of the time about the plot. The beginning felt really fast and then the conflict happens and it is over lightning fast. Then, I was a little confused about the fight in Belfast and why it even really happened. My main reason for giving it a three were the characters. Every single one of them were quirky in their own way. Most of all knowing that the overall idea of the book was good and really liked the ending led me to a 3.5 rating.

everything was too "insta" for me.. from love to the drama. The storyline kept me reading until the end. I wish there was more tension between Knox and Lennon throughout the book as there was in the first couple of chapters. A quick read
March 31, 2019
The beginning was promising. SPOILER Alert here.
But then it took a nose dive so fast, I didn't know what hit me. The heroine's character started off strong and cautious, taking no crap from anyone. She didn't fall at his feet after the first meeting and not even on the 2nd when he proposed a marriage of convenience. But lo and behold he gives her an orgasm after that and she starts giggling and reaching for hand holds. *Eyes rolling*
Its all love and lets have babies from this point forward. What a disappoint. I couldn't read any more. I really don't see the appeal of being so easy. Nor do I see where the love is coming from when there's been no character development. They don't know each other. She's seen how much of a player his been but after one orgasm, he suddenly is the most trustworthy of all men? Really?

This book was a bit instalove for me. This story is about an Irish fighter named Knox O’Conner. He gets a multi million dollar sponsorship deal that hinges on him settling down and getting married. Knox has always been a big playboy.
Knox meets a bartender named Lennon Bishop who works at a place called George O’Malley’s lucky sports pub. She has a chance encounter with Knox. The minute he meets her he proposes marriage and wants to have babies with her. They didn’t go on dates and get to know each other even. She instantly fell in love with him. There is drama at the end with Knox getting deported back to Ireland, finding he has a sister and a few other things. I liked the book but it was just a bit instalove between Knox and Lennon of which I wasn’t a fan. He always talked about wanting to have sex with Lennon throughout the story which got to be a bit much.

I'm giving this book 3 stars purely because it started off with lots of promise and some of the sex scenes were hot. Unfortunately, the story wasn't for me and I struggled until I finally gave in at 53% because I just couldn't keep reading anymore. The insta love didn't feel realistic, and I would've liked Lennon to make Knox work harder for her agreement to marry him. Knox was too cocky and seemed to walk all over Lennon who ended up letting him have his own way all of the time. There's so many things wrong with this story, and it's rare I can't finish a book. I may come back to the book at a later date, but I'm currently leaving it feeling disappointed.

The plot was one big hot mess and it was hard to overlook all the editing mistakes. It was torture trying to finish it. There was no real character development. Instant love is not my favorite thing especially the way it was handled in this book. It seemed like Lennon would have some kind of backbone and resist longer than she did, but within a matter of a couple chapters the relationship got hot and heavy. Then the plot suddenly takes a dark turn when a woman from Knox's past shows up and throws a wrench into their plans. I felt this part of the plot does not fit with the story and it was resolved way too quickly.

Great, easy reading.
I was apprehensive to start this book as the reviews were so mixed. But I’d like say, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ll be honest, it wasn’t deep and filled with fraught and desperate situations but, as long as you know that going in, you can enjoy the story for what it is; instalove in its finest. Knox and Lennon are both alone and lost souls needing to find their mate, and that’s exactly what they do. There are bumps and twists in the road that make up a great little story. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for an easy read.

A good 4. I still feel rushed with how quickly these couples "love" each other. This one had a little more adventure in it. The romance scenes were still hot as hell too!!
Thanks!!

Entertaining
But a little too much drama for me. The scenarios weren't fully explored and each issue was one after another with no room in between.

Oh my.
I loved this. A Irish MMA fighter with a tough upbringing and a bartender who had became disillusioned by love. He needs a wife to be able to stay in America. What will happen if the MMA fighter sweeps the bartender off her feet?

I initially wanted to read this because I love fighter stories. Especially when said fighter comes from a place with an accent to die for. I also heard that it was an insta-love story and I didn't mind. Sometimes, when done right, I enjoy love stories like that. After reading this one, I think I may be a bit out of date with my insta-love stories.
They hardly say anything to each other, boom have sex, then declare love for one another. I know insta-love is supposed to be kinda like this, but maybe I would have not had such a problem with it had Knox been different going into it. To me, there was still business before love in his eyes. Had he seen her for the first time and immediately felt that this woman was his soul mate, I think I would have felt differently going forward. The other thing that put me off so much was the constant I want to make babies with you saying. I don't know. I just think it was too much. Or at least too soon when it was first said. I guess that's just another turn off for me.
There were more detailed sex scenes in this book than all of the other interesting parts combined. The story had many things going on, but I felt they were rushed through too quickly to fully enjoy them.
Overall, it wasn't a bad story per say, but like I said, maybe I'm just not as in tune with insta-love stories like I thought.

So outlandish it made me laugh
Got this through kindle unlimited and thought why not? I love me some Irish boys and the whole ufc thing is my new candy.
But this book is so insanely silly and outlandish. Like crazy stupid. I felt like the author couldn't decide on an actual plot and just kept throwing new ideas in the mix. A single down on her luck heroine, a hot Irish UFC fighter, Marriage for a greencard, insta love, sex, drugs, international espionage, the IRA (because if you are Irish then you're obviously a criminal) drug addiction, drug trafficking for blackmail, a sister back from the dead, a secret ex wife and so much more. Not even kidding I was laughing hard at the next new plot twist.
In fact, this book could become a drinking game. Take a drink everytime the word Ye or lass is used, every time the crazy plot changes, two drinks for every LOL sex scene, take a shot when Wealth is mentioned. This book was so bad it was fun. This book and a bottle of wine is good times. This book sober is horrible. Don't pay for it.

The Book That Has It All!!
I love a book that gives you a little bit of everything......steamy sex scenes, great storyline, relatable characters, and a touch of drama! Knox O'Connor is an Irish fighter, UFC's Heavyweight champion of the world, and considered fighting royalty. Lennon grew up without parents or any family, so she's a pretty independent woman. The two could start a fire when they get together with all the heat they produce! Follow them on their journey of finding love and building a life together. They have their obstacles to overcome but they succeed together. Who wouldn't want a man like Knox who ensures his fiancee/wife is well taken care of, especially in the bedroom!!! Check out his accent and her tenacity. This is definitely a must read! Received an ARC for an honest review.

The very first page telling what happened sort of turned me off the book, but I figured I should give it a chance. For me, I did enjoy the beginning. I loved the buildup of the relationship. Once the sex started, the book wasn't as enjoyable for me other than Knox's alpha attitude which was sexy. In a matter weeks or pages, they had sex, said they loved each other, agreed to get married, decide to have kids, moved her in his house and went to the hospital. The first part of the book moved at an enjoyable pace, but then it just sped up. Also after that, I felt just too much stuff was happening which made it not believable. I don't want to say what they were, but I can say without some of the drama, the writer could have focused on a couple of them and developed them further instead of skimming over them.

Lennon is a a struggling bartender who normally doesn't really notice or react to men. Knox is a UFC who goes through women like days on a calendar.
When they meet something shifts in both of them. He needs to marry in order to get this huge endorsement deal and she is on the verge of losing her job. Something about her catches his eye where he then wants her and only her. He has a troubled pass and celebrity status that she would have to come to turns with. Will she give him a shot after everything she has read in the tabloids? Will his past come back to keep them apart?
This story was very fast paced but I liked it. Over all I really liked the instant love, protectiveness, family and friendship bond. I loved the way the author wrote Knox 's pov with his accent.

Irish has everything you could ask for in a instalove novel. Alpha fighter that is crazy possessive and super sexy, check! A bartender who gets herself blindsided by said alpha and can't do anything to stop the whirlwind, double check!
This story is awesome and captivating in a way that has you focusing and falling for the characters just as fast as the characters fell for each other. There are many twists and turns to the story that will make your heart stop, flip and restart again. What started out as one thing completely transforms into something amazingly beautiful in the end.
Honestly, what more can you ask for with an awesome story like this one!

Well this wasn't what I thought it would be....
To me it was not "insta-love" when you wake up with another woman after meeting "your girl" and continue to be a manwhore until you claim her. I will agree that it was very "insta" after she said yes. But their entire connection revolved around sex, there was nothing else to back up feelings. Then the weird drama from left field, it was like the author was looking for things to throw at them.
On a plus side I was glad he became a changed man and their was no cheating.

Loved Knox's story!!!
A bit fast paced but a great read!!! Knox O'Connor was the UFC reigning world champion but meeting Lennon brought him to his knees. He loved her feistiness and smart mouth. With all of the women throwing themselves at him, she was the one he wanted. Lennon could hardly breathe when Knox was around but she wasn't taking his crap. So, how was it that he could affect her the way he did. Then came the proposal. Should she do what he asked? What would happen if she did? I loved the storyline and the love of family in this story!!!!!!

So, how was it that he could affect her the way he did. Then came the proposal. Should she do what he asked? What would happen if she did? I loved the storyline and the love of family in this story!!!!!!

Sweet but quick
Not enough back story. We don't really know who these characters are. They fell in love in a day after knowing one another existed for a week. I know it says insta love but this was ridiculously quick. Too much unnecessary drama that didn't fit in with the story.
I did like the main characters and their friends. This book could have been so much better if the author developed it a little more and delved deeper. I will give this author another chance.

3.5 stars!!!
I went in blind just wanting a quick insta love story, and that's what I got! I don't understand people's negative reviews about the instant love and such...it's in the synopsis so don't read it then? Easy solution. For me tho...I really loved Knox and his Irish lit...the author did such a good job and not messing that up at all! So much is packed in this book and I didn't want to stop!!
