Mace
I fell for Hailey the moment I laid eyes on her, before I knew about the three King Kong size battles I would have to fight to be with her.
By the time Linc warned me that his gorgeous sister with legs a mile long was off limits and “emotionally fragile,” it was too late. There was no turning back.
Then there’s my friend Senn, who had a one-night stand with Hailey. He’s trying his best … Hailey. He’s trying his best to get a repeat performance during the week of Claire and Linc’s wedding. Sorry buddy, bros might come before hoes, but they don’t come before sweet southern belles.
And last but not least, the IFC insists that if I want a million dollar contract and a championship title fight then I need to keep up my playboy image to fuel all the female fans’ filthy fantasies.
But for Hailey, I’ll do whatever it takes make her mine.
Hailey
Smooth talkin’, sexier than sin, Mason Reed came out of nowhere and stole my heart, despite his inappropriate obsession with my panties. I’m not supposed to fall for the “little” brother of my soon to be sister-in-law, or be fantasizin’ about lickin’ every inch of his tattoos the week of her and Linc’s wedding.
Mason’s seven years younger than me, and infamous for his so called “harem.” His fight intro song is actually a tribute to his magical…well, it rhymes with rock. Not only will he likely end up hurtin’ me, but he’s also…rock blockin’ Senn, my former hot fling.
After I find out just how close Mason is to landin’ a huge IFC contract if he keeps performin’ his magic tricks for all the ladies, I refuse to let him give it all up for me.
I had no idea how much I would miss him or how much it would hurt when I finally succeeded in pushin’ him away.

So Friggin Good Honestly
Book 4 of Lane Hart’s Cocky Cage Fighter series, “Mace,” has the same super steamy love connections, really great MMA fight scenes, a bit of cheeky humor, and big, growly, muscle-bound MMA contenders. Mason Reed, the brother of Claire from Book 3, is on the verge of getting a coveted IFC contract when he meets Hailey Abrahms, the older sister of his soon-to-be brother-in-law, Linc. Mace is gorgeous, cocky, and terrified of commitment. Training for his big break, he soon goes toe-to-toe with the stunningly beautiful plus-size model who is seven years his senior. This book isn’t just a love story or an MMA romance – it depicts important emotional issues with the care and respect they deserve as these two dynamic, flawed characters fight for their HEA. I always enjoy getting to see what’s happening with beloved characters from earlier books, and Hart does a great job of setting up the next story to come up as well. I cried a lot with this one, honestly. The series just keeps getting better. Love love love this!
If I was already in love with this series, this book just came to give more secure to this unconditional love.
Mace is the fourth book of the Cocky Cage Fighters and what can I say? I’m overwhelmed with everything I’ve read and I’ve lived through this story. When I finished reading Linc I wanted to know more about one of the characters and I was super happy when I started reading this one. I strongly advise you to read all the books because even though they are standalones the characters interact in all books and in this case you really have to read Linc. You will understand why.
This book revolves around the lives of Mason and Hailey
Mason is a MMA on the rise that was fortunate enough to be under Linc and Jude wings. His life has not been easy but thanks to his sister Claire life was bearable. Unfortunately he resorted to somewhat obscure paths but love conquers all.
Hailey is Linc Abrams sister, she’s a free spirit. She’s a plus size model and has many complexes with her body. She wants to find her soul mate, that person that will make her happy, that will love her unconditionally. Can she find it?
I’m in love with this story. I loved everything from the super hot scenes up to the fights. I loved all the ups and downs that this book provided.
Lane you are brilliant and reading this series has been something that I still can’t find the right word to describe.
Let me begin by saying I was so glad, from the very beginning, that Mace was the one who was getting story with Hailey, and not Senn. There was just something about this pairing that had me unable to put the book down. There were some very serious issues that were brought into the mix. Hailey with her bulimia. Mace with his fear of abandonment. He fell for her the minute he saw her. Once he realized that she had a problem, he made it his problem. He felt like he ad to take care of her, like he could not do for his mother or sister. He is hot, he is young, and admits to having a lasting relationship with 4 women…at the same time. With all of her self esteem issues, she cant even begin to imagine that he would want to give that up JUST to be with her. Not to mention she is under the impression that being with her would ruin his chance at getting a multi-million dollar contract. So she keeps pushing him away. At some points it may seem like he is giving up, because who wants to keep hearing that they aren’t good enough, but he keeps coming back to her. He keeps trying to convince her that she is worth giving it all up or. Since this book has a HEA ending , he FINALLY manages to convince her….but it was not easy! Their story pulled some very real tears out of me! (and still has my thoughts and feelings about this book in a huge jumbled mess) Its a great story about how you should never give up on the ones you love because sometimes they need you more than they are willing to admit. If I could give this book more than 5 starts I totally would. This is honestly one the absolute best books I have read in quite some time.
Mace by Lane Hart a sublime five star read. This is the forth book in the Cocky Cage Fighter series, they can all be read as stand-alone but I have loved reading them in the series order, as you get more details from the Havok boys and girls, in each of the stories, as they all intermingle and the stories cross giving us a more background to each person.
Mason Reed is a 20 year old fighter who has just come to fight at Havok gym after some time spent in the underground fighting ring, he has been doing what he must to get by, and now he needs to focus, he has the chance of a contract with the IFC for more money than he has ever imagined, but to get the contract he must agree to some terms that at the time don’t seem to bad, but when he turns up at the airport to pick up Linc’s big sister for the wedding, all of the warnings go out of the window. He doesn’t care that he will face a battle and possibly lose everything he has already fought for.
Hailey Abrams is a tall, beautiful statuesque blonde that many would easily see as the most beautiful woman in the room, Mace does, but Hailey doesn’t see herself that way, she just sees herself as Big, she towers over most of her friends and the guys she has dated, so when she sees a guy in a coffee shop that makes her feel compact and cute, it doesn’t hurt that he’s hot and muscly and has tattoos and a magic stick that Hailey would like to lick. The only downside is when he introduces himself and she realises he is her new brother in law May-son, he of the Harem of woman and warnings from her brother ringing in her ears.
Tis whole story was great, we see the story played from different angles and we get to see Mace in a different light, the question is will Mace he able to settle with one woman? And would Hailey ever see herself as that woman?
I love the Cocky Cage Fighter series! Mace and Hailey’s story does not disappoint! As with all of Lane’s books you will have the crazy hotness and amazing chemistry between the characters and will not want to put it down.
