Book Review & Tour: Worth the Fight (MMA Fighter #1) by Vi Keeland

MMA fighter stories are quickly becoming some of my favorite books to read. I don't know what it is about them that draws me in. OK, that's a lie, I know exactly what it is. Powerful bodies, tattoos, dominant personalities. Yup, that will do it.

"But when I finally get you underneath me, I'm definitely not going to treat you like a lady."

Elle has sort of been dating William for a few years now. He is dependable and predictable and dreadfully boring. Both lawyers, they have a lot in common career wise, but there is no spark between them. And Elle has been OK with that, OK with the safe relationship, until she met Nico.

Former MMA heavyweight champion Nico has not been back in the cage since his last opponent died at his hand. While he still trains as if he is competing, the guilt he is carrying is tearing him apart. Elle knows all about guilt and how it can ruin your life. Her guilt has owned her since she was a child. Can they help each other finally let go and move on?




"I want my smell on you. In you. So that the whole god damn world knows you're mine."

Elle and Nico have such amazing chemistry together and the pain that lingers beneath the surface for both of them make it so easy to love them. You want them to open up to one another, to heal each other. There is some angst but not the kind that makes you want to throw your eReader against the wall. It is the perfect amount that has your heart on edge waiting to see if they can get their happily ever after.

I really enjoyed Worth The Fight and since it was my first book by Vi Keeland, I plant on hunting down some more of her work. Book 2 in the MMA Fighter Series, Worth The Chance, is due to release in April 2014.

Book Description:
It didn’t matter that the ref called it a clean hit.  Nico Hunter would never be the same.

Elle has a good life. A job she loves, a great apartment, and the guy she’s been dating for more than two years is a catch and a half. But it’s boring…and she strives to keep it that way. Too many emotions are dangerous.\ Her own past is living proof of what can happen when you lose control.

Then Nico walks into Elle’s office and everything changes…for both of them. But what can the tattooed, hard-bodied MMA fighter and the beautiful and always steady attorney have in common? A lot more than they bargained for.
