Marco's MMA Boys: Starter Set
"Panty melting alphas who will stop at nothing to fight for what they want in and out of the cage."- USA Today Bestselling Author Terri Anne Browning

~Lesson For Lox~
---I'm Lox Storm, I believe everything in life is some sort of lesson. One night with a stripper damn sure taught me one. Don't EVER let a chick you barely know handcuff you to a hotel bed...No matter how hot she is.
Lesson learned ... maybe
~Letting Lox In~
---Sloan Foster was an honor student in high school, she had big plans for herself. Then she had the earth shattering realization that dreams were just that...dreams. Now a struggling 25- year- old single mom, she works as a massage therapist and is determined to take care of her son, Sage, on her own.
Loxley Storm was raised by his mom, his dad was a dead beat he never knew. Growing up, he had anger issues and got into a lot of trouble for fighting. Thankfully, a man named Marco took him under his wing and helped him learn to control his anger by fighting...in the ring. Now 26, he is an MMA fighter working to become pro.
An injury in a fight lands Lox on Sloan's massage table, where sparks fly and neither can deny the attraction. Will she let Lox in? Or will she let her past ruin her chances of finding love again?
~In Sly's Eyes~
---Kara Chambers plays by her own rules, she has since she graduated high school. One night, that's all she ever gives. One night and she'd be able to get the sexiness, known as Sly Webb out of her system. No complications, no awkwardness, just one night. Yeah, right.
Sylvester "Sly" Webb is living his dream, working full time at the gym for his surrogate father and now, a big MMA league wants to sign contracts with them. What else does he need?
Until meeting Kara for the first time, she threw him for a loop. All of that voluptuous sassiness made his head swim. Then she came to his fight and followed him home, but what happened next was something he thinks he'll never understand. Now, he can't get her out of his head. In his eyes she's perfect, but how can he prove that to her?
~Holding Huck's Heart~
---Huckleberry "Huck" Webb cares only about the two F's in life - fighting and being the man-whore he is you can figure out the other. As an up and coming celebrity in the MMA world, he can have all the women he wants, no strings attached. And he does.
Chelsea Harmon is the good girl in a mess. She lived her life under the long arm of the law, her detective father. She couldn't wait to escape. The big world out there was hers for the taking. Only if something is too good to be true, it usually is. The good girl finds herself in a very bad situation with a very powerful and wealthy man.
Everything changes for them both when Chelsea gets the call to come home. What happens when two complete opposites find themselves together once more? Can Huck handle Chelsea's past? Can Chelsea face it all and come out on the other side? After walking away once before, can Huck forgive the girl who always held his heart?

About the author
S.M. Donaldson
39 books246 followersS.M. Donaldson is a born and raised Southern girl. She grew up in a small rural town on Florida’s Gulf Coast, the kind of place where everyone knows your business before you do, especially when your Daddy is a cop and your Mom works for the school system. She married one of her best friends at the age of 20 and has two sons. She is a proud military wife, has always had a soft spot for a good story, and is known to have a potty mouth. At the age of 31, she decided there was no time like the present to attempt her first book. Sam’s Choice was born and she hasn’t stopped since. If you are looking for a good, steamy, Southern set romance with true Southern dialect, she’s your girl.

What a great group of characters. Not one has had it easy in life but they didn’t let it hold them back. The trauma and loss they have gone through only pulls them closer together. Lox and the Twins make people gravitate towards them and it makes the family they chose so much closer. Can’t wait to read more!

First three books in the Marco’s MMA Boys series. Each told in dual POV with HEA. Each book is about a different MMA fighter, but secondary characters are the same throughout the series. I liked that the three men fall hard and do everything to protect their women!

Awesome series!!

I adore S.M. Donaldson's Marco's MMA Boys series.
These books are a STEAL in this starter set! I already own each of these individually, but I would HIGHLY recommend that anyone who has not already purchased these books separate snatch up this awesome set while it is still available.
All 4 books are 5 stars to me;
Lesson For Lox: I read it AFTER already reading several of the other books. So in my case it was a nice insight into Lox and introduces some characters that will play a large role in the future. This book is a Novella and is short, sweet, and SEXY.
Letting Lox In: A great start to the series. You meet Lox and his friends. Learn a little about how these guys became who they are today. You also meet a struggling single mom with a little bit of a troubled history with her ex. Lox is sweet and a great "boy next door" who can also kick some butt book boyfriend.
In Sly's Eyes: This book is my 2nd to favorite out of the series to date. Sly is funny and full of life. The main female lead is in a bad relationship. The story gets SUPER exciting and action packed, so hold on to your britches! Sly is my book boyfriend choice out of the group of guys up to date. He is sweet, funny and LOVES WOMAN, all shapes, sizes and backgrounds!
Holding Hucks Heart: Things get pretty deep here. I see this book as a turning point in the series. This book starts really setting the stage for the next books in the series. Huck is a PLAYER.. well until he meets the one! He is a little hard to read, but it all makes sense in the end. I really love the way that SM used this book to help transition the mood and tempo of the future books.
Over all this is one of my favorite book series EVER. It will well thought out and a lot of fun to read. The characters are amazing. Trust me... you will love them, or love to hate them.
I HIGHLY recommend this series! Hurry, get it while it's still available. Don't forget to also check out the next books in t he series, Gaining Gibbs, Jacob Exposed and Sergio Spiraling.
