Il romanzo di Ava Gray è un romance molto carino, con una trama semplice, ma apprezzabile perché ben scritto, nonostante qualche refuso e una traduzione talvolta troppo letterale che rallenta un po’ il ritmo di lettura.
Entrambi i protagonisti, Laney e Zane, sono piuttosto disillusi rispetto all’amore e più concentrati sulla carriera che sull’aspetto romantico della loro vita. Almeno fin quando si incontrano nell’ascensore di un parcheggio e tra loro scatta una scintilla immediata (forse un po’ troppo, vista la disillusione romantica che li caratterizza) e fulminante, che non resta una fantasia a causa di un tentativo di rapina che subisce Laney e che Zane, grazie alle sue capacità di lottatore di MMA sventa senza difficoltà. Questo episodio traumatico li porterà a frequentarsi e, in poche settimane, a provare un sentimento travolgente. Purtroppo, però, gli imprevisti sono sempre dietro l’angolo e qualcuno sarà pronto a tutto pur di separarli.
Il loro incontro è stato davvero fortuito? O è stato tutto organizzato per uno scopo ben preciso? E cosa accadrà quando tenteranno di separarli? Prevarrà il sentimento, seppur appena nato, o la sfiducia e la disillusione che caratterizza questi personaggi? Ovviamente, non risponderò a nessuna di queste domande, ma vi avverto, ci saranno alcuni colpi di scena interessanti che terranno viva la curiosità del lettore. E proprio alcuni di questi eventi imprevisti metteranno Zane, nove volte campione della UFC, in una condizione scomoda: sarà pronto a mettere a rischio tutta la sua carriera per una relazione in erba?
Il doppio pov (punto di vista) ci fa comprendere le riflessioni e i ragionamenti dei protagonisti, coinvolgendo il lettore nei loro dubbi e timori.
Il livello di suspense rende il tutto più interessante e i colpi di scena sono ben organizzati e inseriti al punto giusto per tenere sempre alta l’attenzione del lettore.
Tutto sommato, una lettura piacevole e scorrevole, particolarmente consigliata a chi ama l’instant burn.

It started off okay and interesting but I have to say that I didn’t feel the chemistry. I was fast paced in a way that kept everything surface level. I didn’t connect with the characters or the story unfortunately. Also there were some inconsistencies in the narration that may also have played a part. Could have been a better book with a bit more work.

Good not great
I really enjoyed Laney and Zane, loved the thought of finding your one and realizing it instantly like a shock when you touch for the first time! What I didn't like was the drama with Laneys step dad and Leeland. Very unrealistic to think big time criminals would just turn over a new leaf and help Laney after everything they did to her. I can't say to much or it'll give to much of the story away. Just know at that point I lost interest. 👍 first half 👎 second 👉 so so ending.

This is the kind of book that keeps you on your toes right till the very end, it has strong characters that have you rooting for them. Lanes and Zane’s story start out with them meeting inside an elevator and the instant attraction is burning hot between them but they go there separate ways until she screams after she is attacked and her purse stolen but Zane saves the day and her purse and decides to ask her out. Zane is an ex military man and is now a MMA fighter with the name Mad Dog who enjoys what he does but not everyone likes what’s he does so it makes it hard to date.

Two strangers meet by chance in an elevator not knowing that it would change both of their lives. Lainey broke up with her fiance a year ago and she's still struggling to figure out why he broke up with. Zane is former military who is a champion MMA fighter who also has a broken engagement in his past although his was mutual. When they meet in the elevator sparks fly leaving them both speechless. After they get off the elevator going their separate ways Zane hears Lainey screaming and goes running only to see a man snatch her purse. Zane chases the guy and gets her purse back they talk and agree to meet up with each other for drinks. That begins their relationship even though her stepfather tries to set her up with his colleagues son she firmly tells him no. Their relationship gets even worse than it was and her mother takes his side even though he doesn't treat her good. I don't want to say anymore and ruin it for anyone else with spoilers. You really need to read this intense story to see what happens. I would recommend reading this book.

Zane has just broken up with his fiancé, she took a job across the country without even talking to him, neither really wanted to marry the other. The first time he sees Laney in the elevator, something shifts, he wants nothing more than to see more of her. He never felt this way about a woman.

When the man holds the elevation for her, he makes her heart race, she finds him so attractive.

Loved this romance with suspense coming from their familes, in the wrong ways. Zane is an MMA fighter and ex-military, with a father who is going after a certain bad guy. Laney meets Zane in an elevator and with crossing paths, they start a relationship. Later on, they find out that her step-father, who she can not stand, is the bad guy that his father is after. Before she can tell Zane a secret, she is kidnapped and a death fight is forced upon them. Just mind-blowing action and suspense. The characters are terrific, complex with intense feelings and emotions, determination and strength. The storyline hooks you right from the start and the tension and suspense gets your heart racing for them. Loved their chemistry and support, although they go through a rough spell for a bit. The ending was just perfect.

Let me start by saying this—the name Zane alone should give you a clear indication of what type of literary experience we’re working with here. Passion? Check. Drama? Absolutely. Hotness overload? Oh, undeniably.
Now, let me be clear—I loved this book. The storyline pulled me in effortlessly, the characters were vibrant and layered, and the flow of the story kept me turning pages way past my bedtime. Ms. Gray knows how to create chemistry. Knows how to build tension. Knows how to make a reader feel like they’re in the room...or in the moment.
But—and here’s where it gets tricky—I still walked away feeling like something was missing. And trust me, I’ve been sitting with this for a minute trying to figure out exactly what that is. It wasn’t the characters—I was invested. It wasn’t the pacing—that was smooth. It wasn’t even the writing style, because Ms. Gray's pen game stays undefeated in certain lanes.
Maybe it was the depth? Maybe I wanted the emotional stakes to cut just a little deeper? Maybe I wanted moments of softness or vulnerability to balance out the heat? I’m not sure. And that’s what makes this such a strange feeling—to love a book, to devour a book, but still close it and feel like I almost got everything I needed... almost.
Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Would I read it again? In a heartbeat. But would I still be sitting here wondering what intangible little piece I needed more of? Yep.
I loved it...but it lowkey left me hanging.
Sorry, not sure if that’s the most helpful review—but hopefully it’s an honest one for those of you thinking about picking it up.

Another wonderful MMA story from Ms Gray. If you like MMA then you've come to the right place with this book. You are drawn into the story from the start, it is emotional, raw and real. It's a story with a dark edge to it. The journey Zane and Laney take together from the moment they meet is a journey full of bumps in the road.
The characters and their characters are perfectly described, also the fight scenes are well described. The chemistry and attraction between them just pops off the book as do the hot scenes that appear in this story. This book is definitely recommended and worth reading.

Lainey fiancé broke up with her a year ago but she still grappling to figure out why. Zane, former military and not a champion MMA fighter finally broke off his engagement but it was mutual. Zane and Lainey meet in an elevator and they could feel the electricity sparking around them which left them speechless. They go a different day when they get off the elevator but Zane hears Lainey screaming and goes to help and get her purse back from the creep who took it. I got so involved reading this story that I was up late at night trying to finish it. There was action, drama, and plenty of steam. Highly recommend. First book I've read by this author and I enjoyed the storyline very much.

I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review. This story has drama, danger, secrets, family, conflict, strength, passion and love. Zane and Laney start things out with him as her hero. Their relationship develops with outside forces and lies threatening to tear it apart. Thru all of the bad twists and turns in their lives, he still remains her hero. I thought that Zane was a great character. Laney needed him more than she knew. They were meant to be together but have to fight for their future. I thought that the story was well written with great characters.

Laney is getting over a breakup with her fiancé and doesn't think she will ever find live when she meets Zane who just ended his engagement. Sparks immediately fly between the two and their attraction is to each other is electric. Their relationship is going well until they discover that six degrees of separation wasn't just a movie.
This was a great book. The characters were extremely relatable. The story line was new and refreshing. The story well written though I would encourage additional editing.

When strangers meet in and elevator the sparks fly. Laney is resigned to the fact that she will never find a love like her mom and dad’s. Breaking up with her fiancé a year ago has still left her heartbroken. Zane, an ex-military and MMA fighter, recently broken up with his fiancé. They separated as friends wanting different things. This story had the chemistry and drama right from the beginning. Love this strong minded woman and a protective alpha man.

I love this book.
I mean, what is there not to like. Big hunky MMA fighter falls hard for a sweet wedding planner.
You just knew from the first page, that this would be a great story. And it does not dissapoint you at all. From I opened it up right after getting of from work, and until the last page, I was lost to the surrounding world.
This book has it all. Heroic actions, wooing alpha male, soulmates finding each other, bedroom scenes, cage fights, a death match and a happy ending. I am in love with this story and the characters, and can't wait until I am going to re-read it.

Elan and Zane. What a roller coaster ! Even if the first half of the book is a wonderful read, it’s the second half which captured me completely. Any moment I was thinking I know what comes… no. I didn’t know anything. Between laugher and love came the horror and despair, hope, love, pain and dismay…. And Love Wins. Every single time.
Or perhaps there’s a giant problem and love can’t win this one time… ?… read and find out !
Enjoy your read !

I received an ARC of this book in return for an honest review.
The cover of the book caught my attention first, and let me tell you, I was not disappointed in the description of the yumminess that is Zane. As the story unfolded, I was drawn in. Secrets, intrigue, drama, suspense and love. Everything you want in a good book. Definitely a page turner, as I went from start to finish in one go. Laney and Zane were so relatable and had you cheering them on to reach their HEA. This was a sweet love story with heat and action. Incorporating the MMA world into this story was also tastefully done.

Change if heart
It makes you think when you just broke off a relationship and in the same day see another person who catches their interest. This is what this story us about. She was trying to get over a relationship that was broken a while ago. Zane felt he was incapable of loving anyone other then his family.
This book is a true fantasy. I did like the relationships they had with their friends and part of their family members.
Never marry for the wrong reasons. In most cases it doesn't workout.

Protecting What's Mine was an amazing and well written MMA romance story by Ava Gray. I love MMA romance so I was excited to read Maddox and Lainey's story. Both have broken engagements and while Maddox is ok with it, Lainey is still struggling to understand why he ex broke up with her.
But when they meet the chemistry between them is immediate and intense. Their story has twists and turns and will keep you reading until the very last page. 5 epic stars!

The third book in the Playing with Trouble series and the first book in this series that I have read I will be reading the other books. Laney Holland and Zane Maddox meet in an elevator and he saves her as they are getting off from a puse snatcher. Their story has suspense, drama, danger,villains, and love. The story was well worth reading. I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Instant feelings and a seriously intense physical connection are brand new to both Laney and Zane. They are in different worlds, her a wedding planner and he an MMA fighter, but they mesh. They both make some big mistakes with each other. Family and crime drama come along at a very bad time, but brings everything into focus. Really good story.

So is Zane.
A chance meeting in an elevator changed the course of their lives forever.
Even still, she is battling feelings from her past relationship, and it could ruin new relationships.
This book was as good as the other books in this series and a great read.

🙅🏽♀️ not good!
H- Zane “Mad Dog” Maddox
h-Laney Holland
I really wanted to love this book BUT I just couldn’t take it anymore. Between Laney comparing Zane to her ex fiancé from a YEAR AGO was really getting to me. I also hate the long internal conversation they both had in their heads. I think the story itself was very boring. I stopped at chapter 10.. couldn’t take it anymore!
