Summary

Some bad decisions come with title belts.

Mine is six-foot-two, the U.S. heavyweight champion, and built to break every rule I made to protect myself.

A bad relationship forced me to start over.

New city.

New job.

New life.

And one rule above all: no professional fighters.

Then my ex shows up and makes a scene.

My best friend’s brother steps in.

Throws one very public punch.

And suddenly the internet thinks we’re engaged.

Meet Leo Carver.

Heavyweight champion.

Human wrecking ball.

My fake fiancé.

Up close, Leo is unfair.

Thick arms.

Controlled hands.

A body built for impact.

Exactly my kryptonite.

Now we’re living together.

Pretending for cameras.

Pretending not to notice how real this feels.

I barely survived one fighter already.

I should know better than to fall for another.

But Leo Carver doesn’t fight fair.

A full-length standalone romance set in the Defenders world.

Tropes: Fake engagement, forced proximity, protective fighter, best friend’s brother, dangerous ex, he falls first.

I have already read this book. Listening to the audio version was fantastic, it really brought the book to life. This book is part of a series but can be listened to as a standalone. It is a great listen. A massive thumbs up from me. I loved it.

This was a good listen. Shane Martinez and Clinton Woodhams narration is easy to listen to. This book is part of a series but I listened as a standalone.

What a great book. I had the auditable and it was fantastic great narration. Great storylines love how he fell first. So glad Liz didn’t just fall at his feet. Every girl needs a Leo.
