No Control was the seventh book in TC Matson’s The Fighter series. I’ve loved the series and No Control didn’t disappoint. Although other characters from the series were prevalent, No Control could be read as a stand-alone.
Carter was a successful up and coming MMA Fighter. He was gorgeous, disciplined, hailed from hardship and had a soft heart for the right things.
Kinley was stuck in a place she never imagined she could be. But underneath her beauty, she still had her strength and determination pushing to the forefront.
No Control was told from a double POV and I loved getting inside both heads. I also loved the storyline as well as the characters. It was well written and well developed. Additionally, Matson dove into the difficult subject of mental abuse masked as love. Kinley was broken, but because her ex wasn’t physically abusive she was unable to see the abuse for what it was. She also couldn’t get out from under his control. It was difficult to read, but I loved how Matson wove it all into Carter and Kinley’s story.
In the end, it was a beautiful tale of love and freedom and well worth the read.
I don’t know how she does it, but this series gets better and better with each book. Carter and Kinley are two people who definitely deserve the love that only they can give each other. This book is intense from the get go and keeps the same intensity throughout. I’m excited to see what’s next in this series.
TC Matson rocks!
This book is awesome. It’s a wonderful journey from start to finish! She sucks you in, and makes you feel like you are in the story.
I’m this book, you will find Carter, he’s an MMA fighter, that is becoming increasingly popular. Then you meet Kinley, she was abused, verbally by her ex boyfriend for years. They meet by Carter saving her. They first become friends, and when Kinley finds out what Carter does for a living she loses it…..
Y’all, I don’t want to give away to much, but read this book. If you haven’t read the series, do it!!!!! You won’t regret it!!!
Carter and Kinley take you on an emotional read of ups and downs twists and turns and when things heat up will they be able to keep what they have found or will a person from the past keep them apart? Amazing read with all the feels and everything else you could want. Can’t wait to read more from her
I love this fighter series! Carter and Kinley have a unique start. Their friendship turned relationship is sweet and sexy. Carter is such an awesome guy. Kinley is so much stronger then she realizes. I loved their story!! Cute and sexy!
Such a great story! Even though it’s book 7 in the series it can be read as a stand alone. Kinley’s had one relationship and it left her broken. Carter may have a violent profession but he doesn’t have a mean bone in his body. These two are brought together by tragic circumstances. Can Carter show Kinley that she is stronger that she knows? Is she willing to open herself up and take a chance?
This is the first book I’ve read by T.C. Matson and it won’t be the last! The story was so well written and the characters are great! I will definitely be going back to read the rest of the series.
Carter and Kenly….just blew my mind. This is by far one of my favorite authors. Carter saved Kinley in more ways then one. She’s a breath of fresh air he needs. It’s truly a great story line. Hotness and great scenes. Takes on the journey with them
Carter and Finley’s story is as per the norm with this author absofreakinglutely amazing! Carter meets Finley exactly when he needs to, their story is emotional, witty, and their chemistry is off the charts. Finley captured my heart and became one of my favorites, her strength though she doesn’t realize it is absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to read more of all of these characters.
No Control by T.C. Matson a five-star read that will fight for control of your heart. This is number seven in the Fighter series and they just get better and better, like a fine wine that gets better with age, so do these fighters. This could be read as stand-alone, but If I’m being honest, I would definitely say to read them in order as they do tell a great story and it’s a fantastic series that you would be sorry to miss. Carter just had a special something about him, there just seems to be something special like he has grown into the man he is supposed to be. He could be my hero anytime, but on the flip side, I would take a bullet for him as well. Kinley needs a hero so I am glad that she meets Carter, as he shows her that she can become her own hero. That’s why I love this series as it shows us love comes all shapes and sizes and in many different forms, but it also shows us that loving yourself is also important.
Carter is a MMA fighter that has lost his dream. Kinley is a strong woman that has been through a lot in her life. The two are attracted to each other from the start of their meeting. A story of finding strength and facing your past with courage. A great read and I will be looking into reading this author again.
I keep falling for these men in the fighter series, each one seems to have different qualities than the last. Altho they all have one thing in common…. Holy are they all the aplha. Carter a bit less than Ryker and Levi, but I imagine just as hot. Carter is everything Kinley needs in a man, he shows her how she can be her again, how she can overcome everything she has been through and most of all he can break down her walls. I love these two can’t wait for updates on them, and with the little tidbit on a new Ryker book possibly
No Control is my first book by TC Matson, and I loved it. Carter and Kinsley are just perfect to read about.
Carter saves Kinsley from a robbery and they just have this instant connection. They form a friendship that turns into a relationship and I loved every bit of their sweet, slow burn relationship.
The development of the characters in this book is amazing to read. Kinsley discovers me is much stronger than she originally thought. And Carter is the hot alpha male who falls hard and I absolutely loved reading it happen.
No Control will definitely not be my last book by TC Matison. I can’t wait to go back and read the rest of the series.
I loved Carter with his angel wings, a big stong MMA fighter, an honorable man, and hero. Fate put him in the right place to save Kinley and that’s just what he did. I really enjoy this story and the awesome characters written by the author. Kinley had her spirit broken by Ben her old boyfriend and Carter is just the hero to help her heal. Lots of love, steam, and feelings made this a five-star book for me.
I LOVE CARTER….I LOVE KINLEY…..I LOVE THIS BOOK….I LOVE THIS SERIES….
Carter Sharpe is an up and coming MMA fighter, being coached by Ryker (sigh) Hayes, but Carter is NEITHER Ryker NOR is he, Levi ….well, not entirely…OK, he’s hot (like Ryker and Levi), and he’s a little cocky (maybe, not as much as Ryker & Levi), and although he loves women, he’s not a semi-manwhore like Ryker & Levi were….But, just like Ryker & Levi, He’s not looking for love……
Kinley Reeves has an ex….And, Carter LITERALLY, puts his life on the line to come to Kinley’s rescue……This book is about how real love and trust, allows you to not just survive, but really live with hope for your future, despite your past..
5 “Angel Eyes” Stars
With every single book this series just gets better and better. Carter is an MMA fighter, but proves throughout this entire story he’s so much more. He’s not just a cocky alpha, he’s sweet and sexy with a heart of gold. Meeting Kinley knocks him on his ass, literally. He’s not prepared for her in the least, but he can’t stay away. Kinley is one of those shy, meek characters that you love because with the love of the right man she flourishes. No Control is about so much more than just a fighter in a cage, it’s about fighting for love and finding inner strength. Not to mention some serious smexiness! Carter and Kinley have major chemistry and they definitely burn up the pages of your kindle. Plus the fact that my book husband (Ryker) makes many appearances is just the icing on the cake 😉 No Control may be the seventh book in this series, but it can be read as a standalone. Don’t miss out on this one. #Oneclick it today!

Once you start this book, you will not be able to stop. I had not read the series before so I came in blind and now I need to read the other books.
Carter and Kinley meet when Carter saves her from a robbery. Kinley decides to visit Carter in hospital feeling responsible for him being there. Carter finds out Kinley moved away from her ex who wouldn’t let her move on and manages a store.
When Carter asks her to a cookout, she doesn’t hesitate, knowing there’s something about him. She didn’t expect him to that sexy when he opened the door, leaving her stammering. He wants her to look at him, to touch him, igniting into an explosion between them.
Carter know something is there with Kinley and he’s not letting her walk away, finally deciding they need to talk he lets her know he hasn’t loved anyone since his ex, because he’s never felt it with anyone else, but she does, he’s going to stand beside her while giving her the strength to put her life back together.
Finally, Kinley is in a place where she never thought she would be again and with Carter at her side she knows she can work through her past. When her ex shows up at her apartment, Carter says he’ll deal with him, but Kinley knows he’ll leave after he has, Carter has shown Kinsley what she means to him and he’s not going anywhere, but will she finally believe him.
I received an ARC in return for an honest review. I know it’s just a book but it was amazing how such a horrible situation helped them find each other. I liked Carter and Kinley together. This was an easy read and enjoyable story.
This is the 7th book in this series, and is Carter and Kinley’s story. Kinley has moved to a new town to escape from an abusive ex, and she meets MMA fighter Carter, when he rescues her from a robbery. This is a well written flawless story which is raw, gritty, steamy, and passionate which leads to a powerful read. I was hooked and intrigued throughout this addictive page turner, and I look forward to reading more form this gifted author.
5 Carter is my man stars!!! Holy…. WOW!!! TC, you’ve outdone yourself with this one!! I’m in a book coma!!!
I don’t even know wher to start honestly… I’m still trying to format some words, because this book sucked me in and I didn’t want it to end! I will say that Carter is now officially my new book boyfriend, and I don’t care who knows it! This book will take you on quite a journey but it’s so worth the ride! TC knows how to write a book with characters that just draw you in and you become a part of their lives! If you haven’t read this series, yet I suggest you go one click this book/series like yesterday!!!
