I LOVE THIS SERIES. REALLY SWEET

Any additional comments?

Wort the credit. Well I love a V card novel and when the man is saving himself for the loose chick I'm always locked in. The story had such a sweet end and a Three's Company mishaps and misunderstandings it's makes for some fun making up. It's a keeper.

Ahhh the Frustrations of Young Love

I read a lot of reviews on Goodreads with mixed feelings about how these two handled themselves and their feelings, especially during their year apart. I tried to keep in mind that these two are young and had troubled upbringings and bad, uncaring role models for the first 16+ years of their lives but I still had moments where I was shaking my head and thinking...'Seriously?" The naivety and cluelessness was a little much sometimes. BUT, with that being said I still really enjoyed their story.

Killian has always been there for Axelle and felt very protective of her since they met at 16 in high school. They've both had strong feelings for each other for 4 years, yes 4 years but neither has ever said anything to the other and always felt they were not good enough for the other. She felt he deserved someone stronger and confident and not so needy and needing to be taken care of (daddy/men issues due to the daddy issues). He felt he just wasn't up to her caliber as he still felt small and nerdy and not worthy of someone as sweet and beautiful as her. At times this became frustrating with the back and forth inner thoughts for 10+ hours of listening.

Axelle finally ends things with her most recent 'hook up' of the past 3 months and when Kill comes to her rescue again that night they FINALLY reveal their true feelings for each other and it is a wonderful, albeit brief, period of happiness for a few days. Life changing things come to light and once again old feelings of insecurities cloud Axelle's mind and she pushes Kill away and demands he take his opportunity to train and fight overseas. Little did she know her pushing him away after he begs her not too was the final straw for him and he goes without telling her and leaves the next morning. Of course the next day she starts rethinking her decision from the night before, but it's too late. They both basically cut each other out of their lives during this entire time. Now while Axelle goes through some heavy stuff and gets bullied by her ex (among other heartbreaking things I won't mention to not spoil things); Kill is trying to focus on his training and first UFL fight and getting bonded with his new training team/fighters and fights all his urges to reach out to anyone in Vegas so he isn't tempted to ask about Axelle. This causes some bad blood a little and creates a lot of mixed signals and feelings. It also doesn't help that one of the new fighters he is bonding with a a beautiful female fighter from France. They get close and pictures and rumors circulate which causes more misinformation at home.

When Kill does come home after a year in England he must decide if he will stay home or return to England and fight there for a 5 year contract. He thought his decision would be to return to England because he thought Axelle had built a new life in Vegas based on situations when he left, but he was totally wrong. When he realizes this he decides he needs her back in his life and now he must decide to stay in Vegas and try and win her back or take her answer of 'No, they've both grown and changed' and move on back to England. This ending kept you guessing up until the end, but loved the outcome.

On a side note, it does briefly go into the relationship with Axelle and her biological father. I had hoped in Blake and Layla's 2nd story that more would develop from that in Axelle's book and they do update you on that aspect. Although it was a disappointing outcome for me as I was hoping it would be a happier outcome for Axelle.

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!

I highly recommend this book! Alex and Killer have a romance that needed to be told. It was perfect from beginning to end.

Love this series

So far, this book gave me all the emotions- anger, sadness, aww---. I was amazed that neither of them contacted the other to catch up, then made decisions based on their misconceptions.

Excellent Series!!!

I did not want to write a review until I completed the series. I absolutely enjoyed the series up to this point with seven books and I am waiting to see what the next has to offer. They're all written very well with an amazing storyline. I love that each character has a story and how JB Salsburry brings them together. I also enjoy the fact that when he is writing the next book he is taking us back into previous books and storylines because they are all living simultaneously. I can imagine what each character looks like, what their lives were like according to what they are thinking in each and every character is absolutely sexy as He**!! And the sex is out of this world! Although they are romance novels it is not continuous sex but when it is it's absolutely explosive! This is the first series that I have read with this author and I look forward to more books in the future. Also the narration by Aaron Mallon and Ryan West was spot on!!!!!!!

I LOVE the ALL boys, or should I say, Men..in this series!!

Love, love, Loved this book! Axelle is just so cute & fun! And I adored how Killian was so kind, patient and enamored with her!

And what made it come to life and make it worth listening to instead of reading it was the awesome narrators!! I love Erin Mallon's narration and her male voices are so good. It didn't make you cringe when hearing a female try to impersonate a male voice, like a lot do.

And Ryan West...well let's just say, he makes you get hot just by hearing his strong, sexy voice!
It's very hard to find really good narrators who do the opposite sex narration well. And they BOTH do amazing jobs at it!!

This series NEVER let's me down!

JB Salsbury is an auto download for me. I really enjoy the world she created in the MMA ... and am now enjoying the younger generations. Not only do you get a glimpse into the lives of previous fighters and their wives, you get a fresh story developed around their offspring and new and upcoming fighters. So credit worthy .... the book description gives a very accurate synopsis and I totally loved hearing every word!
