Meet Blaire
An underachieving college student with zero prospects and a ton of issues (hey, being the less-successful twin of a gorgeous supermodel would totally do that to you). She doesn’t do bad boys. Actually, she doesn’t do boys, like, at all. Not that she’s a lesbian. And not that there’s anything wrong with being one. It’s just that…well…she kind of needs to focus on graduating from … graduating from college right now.
And she needs something from Ty. Badly.
Meet Ty
Mixed Martial artist, soon-to-be Welterweight champion of the Xtreme Warrior League and the hottest guy in the Bay Area. He’s cocky, arrogant and completely off-limits to anyone with more than three working brain cells…but dude, HAVE YOU SEEN HIS BUTT?
On top of being a world-class player, Ty has a secret.
And Blaire? She can barely even handle his truths.
Life is about to throw a few knockout punches at both of them. Can they handle the pain?

I made a promise to myself that this year i have to catch up with authors reading list and the first one was L.J Shen, i have read most by Tyed was one that had been sitting on my kindle that i just hadn’t read and now I’m kicking myself.
This book was great loved the MMA theme i haven’t read one of these in such a long time and thoroughly enjoyed it.
This had a great storyline and had me turning the pages and kept me interested to the point i read it one sitting.
I loved how sexy Ty sounded and he may have had a ego the size of a small country but he made you swoon like the best of them, he had his past and i think i would struggle to accept it but i loved reading about this love story.
Blaire was also a great character just a normal chick who just wanted to be happy in life and find what she wanted to do after college but i don’t think she ever expected a guy like ty to come into her life.
This was a really good story and LJ Shen can write a story and i loved reading one from a different genre.
Another amazing beautifully detailed hard love story about two gracefully flawed people with insane chemistry! Can’t wait to read twin sister’s upcoming story with hottie Shane!!
I have not been disappointed by LJ Shen yet, and this is no exception!! First of all, I love Blaire and her adorable quirkiness, snark, attitude, and outlook on things. She had me laughing out loud throughout the story, and then insert the MMA alpha powerhouse Ty, my kindle about melted. Of course the author offers her delayed gratification, where you have no idea where this couple will end up, but happily my face hurts from the grin I wore from the ending. A great story, with a fantastic couple, and a ton of endearing, absolutely vivid supporting characters that excites me to read more about!

I really enjoyed this book, as it was completely different from the author’s other books. I loved the chemistry between Ty & Blaire….they had an immediate attraction outside the gym when meeting for the first time. At times I found myself frustrated with Blaire, due to her listening to Shane and not giving Ty a chance to explain. But, I loved the ending and was happy to see them work their way back to each other. Overall, I liked this book….it was a fun, quick read. Not quite a knockout as some of her other books, but nonetheless….I would recommend this book to others!
I loved Tyler and Blaire! This is an MMA romance…. Blair is trying to find her way through college and also in life until she meets Tyler (Zombie) Wilder a super mega HOT MMA Fighter.. but Ty has a secret that can damage the love, the attraction Blair feels for him .. the secrets, lies and problems around Ty and Blair won’t be enough to end this beautiful love and relationship because .. love can win everything and anything..
Blair has a twin sister.. she is a model and somehow Blair feels like she lives under her shadow but not for Ty .. Ty has no eyes for no other women than Blair, no matter how gorgeous her sister is, no matter that one of her best friends Shane is in someway Jelouse of Ty and Blairs love and is creating conflicts between them .. because Ty will fight for her until the end…
i love this book but i don’t want to give ay spoilers so you better get it and read all about this beautiful couple….
another amazing book from Leigh!!!
Leigh does great female character they’re feisty and kick ass. I needed more from Ty, i felt he was a bit weaker compared to her other male character I have read from her. I enjoyed this book but it lacked a bit for me
UN-FREAKING-BELIEVEABLE THAT AN AUTHOR RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE GETS SOMETHING SO RIGHT. I THOUGHT ONLY LORI FOSTER HELD THE CHAMPIONSHIP FOR WRITING ABOUT MMA FIGHTERS BUT MY GOD GIRL, L.J., YOU ARE DEFINITELY A CONTENDER! I CAN’T WAIT TO READ MORE BY YOU, I’M A FAN NOW… I ADMIT I’M NOT A FAN OF THIS BRUTAL SPORT, BUT THAT’S MY OPINION ONLY.
THIS IS A STAND ALONE BOOK BUT WILL BE A PART OF A TRILOGY AND I’M IN HOPES TO GET THE ARC FOR THOSE TOO, ONE CAN ONLY HOPE, RIGHT?
THIS BOOK IS AMAZING, THE CHARACTERS ARE SO WELL WRITTEN, LOTS OF WITTY HUMOR, LUST ALL OVER THE PLACE AND THE PLOT IS TO DIE FOR.
Tyler “Ty” Wilder, aka: The Zombie, is a MMA fighter and upcoming Champ of his weight class and he has secrets he keeps close and exudes a lot of attitude. Ty doesn’t do interviews…
Blaire Stern, a unimpressed college communications major, who doesn’t know what to do with her life once she graduates. She is a twin to a supermodel and she has always been the boring one. Her parents pay her tuition in a major she has no interest in until her professor gives her the subject of MMA to do a report on.
Blaire comes to The Grind Gym to do some interviews for her paper and while in the parking lot smoking a blunt, she somewhat meets Ty. She dislikes his attitude but her Hormones take a liking to him, her Brain tells her to keep her distance.
His work and her interviews at the gym keep them in constant contact. She fights the attraction but he keeps coming at her. In order for her to get her interview of him, he talks her into a “first date”.
So far so good, only Brain and Hormones are involved and she is thinking no way her Heart can get involved. He seems to become a different person around her and vice versa but secrets get exposed and life takes a left turn.
Will Brain, Hormones and Heart come together for Blaire? Will she be able to overlook a secret from Tyler’s past and can Tyler put his past behind him and overlook her habit of running?
