Wow what a amazing story that will grab you from the beginning and will have you on the edge of your seat. This is amazing read that will have you dealing with all the heartache and obstacles through out this book. I’ve not read book one but after reading this book I will need to as I loved this amazing story.
I went into this book expecting a typical MMA romance but that was not the case as all.
Unbroken took hold of my heart early on and I laughed and shed a few tears while reading Ava’s story.
Ava goes through hell and back over and over again, yet she will not give up. No matter what happens or how bad it gets she is absolutely unstoppable, especially with “ her boys” by her side.
Her heart and strength to continue even in the worse of times hit close to home for me. Her ability to not back
down from what she really wants is admirable.
Speerzie absolutely nailed it! The writing is absolutely phenomenal. This is the first time a book has ever popped me in so deep and made me feel so connected to the characters. I cannot wait to see what’s next.
Speer has done it again, with this hard-hitting MMA story. This book brings you strong women, controversial subject matter and all the feels. The way the author handles the sensitive subjects while not shying away from them is perfect and the blow by blow action in the cage makes you feel like your right there getting front row seats to all the blood and gore that comes from an MMA cage fight. This might just be my favorite MMA book yet.
This is book 2 in the series but can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading book 1 so you get the back story of some of the secondary characters plus book 1 is great. The main character Ava is a young woman coming of age trying to find her place in the world while dealing with obstacles, heartache, and betrayal. If you don’t read any other book this season, you must read this book, go one click now, you can thank me later.
When I finished this book, all I wanted to do was thank Aaron L. Speer for delivering this magnificent story and taking the risk to step outside the industry standards and expectations, to offer us something DIFFERENT.
I dont want to give too much away of the story because I believe the best way to embrace this work of art is to dive right in and let go of all your preconceived expectations, to just follow Aaron in this… incredible journey.
Yes… I want to thank Aaron. Thank him for listening to the greater love story he had in his hands—one unyielding and powerful “voice”—and one that make us feel more than any romance can offer. He truly focused on the most important part of this book. One the readers can feel from the beginning, the vibe I got from this story that was so much more intense than two people falling in love.
This book IS about love, no doubt. One that we tend to forget too often. The greatest battle any fighter has to win in order to fight many more battles. This book is a true fighter coming to life—a story of strength, courage, persistence, a face off with Fear itself. And it broke me many times before putting me back together and leaving me with the greatest satisfaction of all. The satisfaction of reading something different, powerful and emotionally intense, consuming you in a way it rapidly becomes a page flipper. And considering all the risks Aaron took with this book, on every levels, I feel like telling him: Mission accomplished, Aaron. You changed something in ME with this book and there isn’t a doubt in my mind that it will do the same for many more.
He gave this book the most perfect ending. Full of love in its greatest form. The greatest connection we feel from Ava is with herself and I’m definitely convinced that people will see this beauty for exactly what it is: Love in way we all desperately crave. The strongest and most powerful one. Love of who you are, even through the choices you make that are not always perfect, and coming a lot stronger at the end because it wasn’t a fight against an opponent. It was a fight for yourself.
This book is a lesson of courage, life and will speak to every fighters out there who try every day to win their own personal battles.
It’s a five golden stars read and a book that will make you see beyond you own limits.
A mind blowing story that will tug at your emotions. From the detail alone it was like being right there in the story itself. I love a story that does that. The story was fast paced and a constant page turner. This story will be one to easily become a favorite. I know it has for me.
If you’ve read the first book and loved it, know that this story is very different. You’ll still love it, but your heart will go through the wringer in so many different ways with this one. Anger at what Ava goes through. Frustration for Jasmine and her situation. A few twitchy moments where you can’t believe what the characters have to endure but it all flows so well. Tension and suspense during fight times. Excitement and relief. Maybe a few tears. Love for Ava’s family of Ruben and Chris. SO. MANY. EMOTIONS. I wouldn’t exactly classify it as a romance story. There are romantic feelings and actions that are central to the story, but it’s so much more real and gritty and raw. It’s about a girl who goes through hell and who’s afraid she’s broken but wants what she wants, gets crumpled and crushed into a bloody pulp, and raises again because she’s strong and fierce and vulnerable and amazing and trusts her gut instincts in the ring and life. It’s your typical Speerzie story in that it’s unlike anything he’s written before, just as unique and amazing and different as every other story he’s written.
This was SO MUCH more than just a MMA book for me. As a mother of a teenage daughter who is part of the LGBTQ community, this book made me have all the feels. It made me see the daily ridicule and fear my child faces every day but it also helped me see ways that I can help her over come those.
This is a fast paced, page turning book that will have your attention from the very begining. It is full of love and heart wrenching emotions that will put your heart through the wringer but it is soooo worth it!!
This is definitely a story that will stay with me forever!
