The Underground #6
Torque
The final explosive installment of bestselling author Becca Jameson’s The Underground MMA series! When fighter Sergei Zholdin accepts the FBI agent’s proposition, he knows things are about to get heated. After all, he has lusted after Agent Taylor Brown from the moment he moved to Chicago. Pretend they’re a couple? The idea is laughable. The steam between the two of them is intense. Nevertheless, Sergei agrees to the charade. And they manage to fake like they’re into each other for about two minutes…
Taylor is in over her head. She never should have acted on her boss’s suggestion. She knew better. Moving in with Sergei for the sake of appearances awakens a dormant libido she didn’t even know she had. Sergei takes her places she has only dreamed about every time they close the door to their apartment. If anyone finds out the truth, it could get her fired.
There is a case to solve. A killer to catch. An experimental drug to take down before it hits the black market. Taylor needs to concentrate on her obligations. Sergei needs to concentrate on his construction job and his MMA training.
Their arrangement can’t be permanent. It was never meant to be. When the job is done, Taylor will move on to another case, and Sergei will continue fighting underground MMA. The two of them couldn’t be more different.
The heat inside their bedroom is explosive, but it’s temporary, right?

I'm super sad to see the end of this series! I absolutely LOVED it as a whole! Sergei & Taylor's chapter is SO STEAMY and full of so much love and adoration, I can't even form enough adequate words to gush about them. *grin* There are a couple of twists in the storyline - one I suspected, the other was quite a surprise! But I love how both of them were written and handled by the characters.
The wrap up & epilogue updates were beautifully done. Thumbs WAY UP for this series and this story in particular. Sergei's heart is definitely worth keeping! : )

Whew, wonderful
I can't write a review about this book without mentioning the entire series. I read...a LOT; I always have. I'm not sure when I have ever enjoyed a series of books quite so much. Each character was brought to life in a way that makes the reader feel that they are friends just down the road. The descriptions and details of everything going on with the collective and individuals is very well written. This reader became invested in these characters, their challenges, their emotions, their work, and their journey in finding love.
I enjoyed each book on a deep level. I do have some advice, though don't try to just read one, or you will drive yourself batty wondering about the "others."

Talk about a twist happening!! I love it. Won't spoil it for anyone that has not read it, but it was good. Along with the revel of Leo's contact and someone from the past comes back. Sergei and Taylor start of in a weird way, but find the way. I like the way Taylor finds part of herself with Sergei's help. I'm sorry that the series is over, but they were great and I would highly recommend the series. I love how Becca Jameson, works the other stories into one another. Just make them that much better.

WOW What an ending to this series! I'm so sad it's over but it ended with a powerful punch! We have the Sergei's story. Taylor is the FBI agent that is with everyone regularly and when her and Sergei start a pretend relationship, on her boss's suggestion so that those following the group don't question why she's with them all the time, things heat up in the bedroom. While they're figuring out this new side of things, and the feelings they're both starting to feel, things start coming to a head with the case.
OMG this story has you on the edge of your seat! The heat between these 2 is off the charts and I love how they interact with each other. And the suspense and surprises has you shaking your head. Totally never saw them coming! This series is a definite must read and you have to start at book 1 so you don't miss anything!! I received a copy with no obligation.

Awesome
Such a fitting end to the series!! Loved this book. And the relationship between Taylor and Sergei. They really help each other and have this amazing push and pull dub manic that helps ease her into the D/s lifestyle while adapting it to their needs and also working out how to take down Yenin. They cover a lot in this story from a different angle of Taylor and sergei’s perspective. Then take it a step further when they move on to phases to try and catch Yenin. Lots of twists and turns. Won’t lie I had suspicions about Abram their manager and how he fit into this especially in regards to Alena’s rescue mission. And I wound up figuring out that tidbit of info before the reveal. But it didn’t lessen the surprise. Because come on this author did awesome in the reveal of several jaw droppers in regards to Sergei, missions, inside agents, parentage, relationships and then book long term endings. Definitely loved how everything cane together in the end. Loved this series.

I am typing this review as a tear rolls down my face. Don't get me wrong this book was beyond phenomenal and worth way more than five stars but it also means my involvement with these characters has now come to an end. I have loved The Underground Series and Torque was my favourite. I don't know how Becca Jameson does it as this series has just got better and better. This book is Sergei's story and also the wrap up of what has been happening with all the fighters and Anton Yenin who they have all been hiding from. Sergei's story is heart warming and heart wrenching. The twists and surprises that this story gives you are all left field and you will never see them coming. Cannot recommend this series and this book enough.

5 Stars
Absolutely loved Torque. This is playboy Sergei and Taylors story and its so good. Sergei is the last of the Russian fighters to find love and his story will bring you tears, laughter and keep your panties wet. Taylor is an FBI agent who convinces Sergei to "pretend" to be her boyfriend but he has other plans. Sergei is out to make Taylor his and he will pull out all his Dom skills to make her melt.
So I suggest Reading Torque but I would start at the beginning with Book 1 of Jameson's Underground Series.
Happy Reading!!!

ARC - I voluntarily offered to review this book and my opinions are honest!
A great ending for the series!
I don't know where to begin.
There were so many good parts in this book.
Who would have thought a FBI agent + a MMA fighter.
It helped that they were already attracted to each other.
I also like that at the end of the book, we get to know more about the lives of the fighter years in the future.
Once again, this was a great ending to this series.

An ending with twists and turns, surprises and ends tied up. Enjoyable read but I'm glad I read books in order.
