Blurb: What would you do if you came
face-to-face with your celebrity crush?
Rocky Steele is surrounded by professional athletes.
It’s her job.
As a physical therapist in a world renowned gym, she works with the best of the
best, from hockey players to MMA fighters. Celebrity status does not impress
her. Nor do big, strong men in peak physical condition.
Nope.
When it comes to her job, she’s one hundred percent professional.
Enter Gage James.
Her celebrity crush.
And the newest fighter to train in her gym.
Where it will be her job to put her hands on every inch of the six foot seven
two hundred and sixty pounds of utter Alpha male perfection.
She’s got this….Maybe.
Gage ‘The Kraken’ James is the reigning MMA Heavyweight Champion.
When he walks into The Steele Maker for the first time, it’s like he’s hit with
a one-two punch to the chest in the form of a certain raven haired firecracker.
His coach’s daughter.
His physical therapist.
His every waking thought.
He’s in for the fight of his life.
The stakes are higher… outside the octagon.
Time to release The Kraken.
GAME ON.

Thoughts: Considering my penchant for MMA books, it is no surprise I picked up Tap Out. For the most part, I can say I really enjoyed the book. I loved the characters and their banter, I loved the sparks pinging between these two, and I liked the storyline. For the most part, I found it pretty much a stand alone title that didn’t leave me feeling overly lost, however I have to say that the one thing totally got on my nerves.
The texting back and forth between multiple characters. That just aggravated me to no end. Now, I’m not sure if my opinion would be any better with that if I had read the first book before grabbing this one. I don’t think so – for the most part, I just feel like it was unnecessary and detracted from the story for me.
Now, others may not find it that annoying. Just my personal thought. Enjoyable overall.
