"A slow burn romance with plenty of suspense and action."

" It checked off so many of my favorite genres including MMA, Mafia, friend to lovers and workplace romance. The ending had me bubbling over with happiness making it the best escape from reality.”

"This is definitely becoming one of my favorite series, it has everything I want in a read to keep me glued to the pages. “

L.P. Dover, the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author who brought you the tantalizing Gloves Off series, presents Gloves Off – Next Generation. This brand-new saga of interconnected standalones unites new characters with beloved originals in dark and sexy stories laced with suspense!

Two months ago, everything changed. The enemy no longer feels the need to sulk in the shadows. Instead, he hides in plain sight and prepares his attack… against Reagan Jameson.

Reagan knew this day would come. She proudly holds the featherweight title and is known as one of the sexiest female fighters in MMA history. She can handle her own, and that’s exactly what she plans to do with Nikolai. Unfortunately, things aren’t as they were before. When given an offer she can’t refuse, Reagan is well aware nothing good will come of it.

They promised her power, prestige, and money… a world full of intrigue and dangerous desires. Not being able to resist the allure, she gives in and becomes a pawn in their game. She’s able to fool those closest to her into believing everything is okay… except for Braden Emerson.

Braden’s reputation as one of the toughest fighters in the circuit hasn’t gone unnoticed. In fact, it’s his skills that get him lured into the pit of danger. While he vows to keep Reagan safe no matter the cost, his desire for her is used against him. As passion ignites between the pair, they must work together if they hope to survive.

Fighting for a title is one thing, but nothing beats the stakes of fighting for love. This is one TKO that could cost them everything.

*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.

I must admit that I am a huge fan of Dover's work so I was happy to get my hands on her newest. We follow Reagan a skilled fighter in her own right not needing anyone's help to stay safe. At least that was the case before Nikolai gets involved. Thinking she can keep what she agrees to secret she tries her best to not tell but nothing can be hidden from Braden. He knows het way to well so of course he had to get involved. Can they make it together or will events tear them apart? Makes for a great read as we follow along with the journey. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars. 

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author L. P. Dover is a southern belle living in North Carolina with her husband and two beautiful girls. Everything’s sweeter in the South has always been her mantra and she lives by it, whether it’s with her writing or in her everyday life. Maybe that’s why she’s seriously addicted to chocolate.

Dover has written countless novels in several different genres, including a children’s book with her daughter. Her favorite to write is romantic suspense, but she’s also found a passion in romantic comedy. She loves to make people laugh which is why you’ll never see her without a smile on her face.
