Oh my word the dynamic duo did it again with this one. I’ve always wanted Emmet’s story and now I’ve Finally gotten it. I can’t wait to see what else these two have in store for me next.
This authors they definitely know how to give you a very good story. Love reading Emmett and Bree story they had so much hardships to deal with. And I love hearing from all the gang I for sure need to revisit them one more time. Avenging Angel was a great story, great chacaters,great written.
This book was amazing! It brought all the characters from the other books to give you a great story of overcoming your obstacles. This book had heart, soul and gave you the feels that you want in a romance. I laughed, I cried and I fell in love with Casey- his little behind stole my heart. I loved Emmett and the way he fought through everything and became the man he was at the end of the book. I loved this so much! A true five star that will leave you breathless at some points. LOVED IT!
Angel and Bree have been hiding from their problems. Angel is dealing with loss and Bree is dealing with shame. When these two get together they forget about their pain. As Angel reawakens and accepts family and career responsibilities he also accepts that he needs to keep Bree in his life.
Another great addition to the Pounding hearts series. The gym, fighters and families are as lively as ever.
I love all Izzy and Sean books this one is not the exception. I wish it where longer because I really enjoyed this couple. 4 solid stars
This book. I have waited so long for this series to continue and this book did not disappoint! It gives you all of the heartwrenching feels. The one word that comes up this whole book for me is FATE. Emmett and Bree definitely disappoint! I loved their funny banter. If you are looking for a new series with new book of hot alpha mma fighting men and the women that bring them to their knees, then the Pounding Heart series is the perfect choice! Happy reading!
I recieved an Advanced Reader’s Copy in exchange for an honest review.
Bree came into Emmett’s life just when he needed someone to remind him he was worth it. It was love at first site for them and they only fell further the more time they spent together. A great addition to an already amazing series.
fantastic book. Awesome storyline. Exciting characters. Grabbed my attention from the first page to the last. Many lol moments. Steamy scenes that were well written. Best book ever!!
Emmett Bailey is a titled fighter who gets a major injury and falls from grace. To add insult to injury, his best friend, and manager, dies. Emmett has hit rock bottom when his friends from the gym decide enough is enough. They drag him back to the gym to begin training for a rematch. This is where Emmett meets Bree and he’s captivated by her. Bree is running from a terrible situation and a bad break up. She caught her boyfriend in bed with her best friend. Bree runs hours away to her mom’s house in Nevada. Bree’s stepbrother owns a gym where MMA fighters train. They need front desk help and Bree is happy to fill the position. Bree is fascinated by Emmett. This is where life gets complicated… Bree’s father is making demands and she is threatened by her exboyfriend. Emmett is training for a rematch and wants to protect Bree. Will their relationship be more than a steamy love affair? Can Emmett chase Bree’s demons away?
I have a weakness for MMA books, so I was delighted to read Avenging Angel! My favorite trope is “alpha male rescues female in peril.” This romance ticked all of the boxes and kept me turning pages late into the night. I loved their “family” at the gym and revisiting prior characters in the Pounding Hearts series. Avenging Angel was a great, steamy read. 4 stars
I followed all the fighters and their stories and Emmett’s seemed to be the most heartbreaking. It was refreshing not to read about the struggles the characters have trying to regain their footing after they fell from the pedestal they were in. I loved the small glimpse I go into everyone and also the small tease epilogue. You two have done it again!
Fate can be a funny thing. It can send you to the depths of despair or the heights of joy.
Emmett has found himself in the depths after a nasty loss in the ring followed closely by a nasty loss of another kind. He’s not sure he’s ever going to come out, or if he even wants to. But as chosen families often do, his friends step in to drag him back into the light. That’s just the beginning of his life changing.
Bree discovers her boyfriend in bed with another woman. In her anger and hurt she heads home to where every girl with a good one goes when needing comfort … her mom. Her step-brother offers her a job in his gym, which leads to a meeting of souls.
Emmett and Bree each have secrets and scars they carry. But they also have an undeniable connection that changes both their worlds. There are bumps and bruises along the way. They each have to make decisions that not only affect themselves but each other and someone they love.
Will they find their happy ending? Well I’m not going to just TELL you that … go read the book and find out.
It’s a quick read because it’s so engaging you will NEED to know how it ends.
The writing is very well done with characters who are so very very human you can’t help but love them. The plot moves along at a great pace and keeps you reading. And there are plenty of laugh out loud moments to go along with the tension, to make this a truly captivating work.
At first everything seemed to go the wrong way for Emmett, Casey and Bree. Bree isn’t letting anyone in, she’s burying her head in the sand, so much so, she almost loses everything. I honestly wished she would have told Emmett, or at least her mom what all was going on with her dad. Because her life could have had a horrible ending. Emmett was able to finally pull himself up because of Casey, he focused on being there for him, giving him a family and no longer giving into the despair of what all he lost, because Casey lost everything too. I absolutely love the fighting spirit of both Emmett and Casey, they are so sweet, loyal and awesome. When Casey grows up I hope we get his book. Loved seeing the couples from previous books.
I just finished Avenging Angel OMGoodness. My emotions were all over the place. I cried, I had an anxiety moment, then cried a little more. What Emmett went through I’ve been there not the drinking myself into oblivion but the depression over my dad passing was 2 years of running on empty and not caring. You don’t realize how it effects others around you. This was outstanding, thank you Sean and Izzy for a fabulous read. Now to go back and reread. I definitely recommend reading this and the rest in this series.
This book….. THIS.BOOK. I could not turn the pages fast enough. I was torn between wanting devour this book and pacing myself. Devouring won. I went through the emotional ringer with this book. I think that I got a good about midsection workout from how much my gut clenched. This book also did have a good mix of funny to lighten the mood. Emmett hit his lowest point before Aubrey walked into his life. Aubrey was running from a awful situation at home. Two broken people found a safe harbor in each other. Together they both found the strength to get back up again. The insta lust/love, I felt the tingles, So Hot! But my favorite character in this book by far was Casey. That kid was the comic relief and the grounding everyone needed. He gave Emmett something else to fight for, to give his life purpose outside the ring.
I followed all the fighters and their stories and Emmett’s seemed to be the most heartbreaking. It was refreshing not to read about the struggles the characters have trying to regain their footing after they fell from the pedestal they were in. I lived the small glimpse I go into everyone and also the small tease epilogue. You two have done it again!
The bond Emmett and Casey have is sweet and lovable like a dad but crazy and silly like an uncle. Bree brings the calm even with her life so upside down. They all needed each other to heal and move forward.
Even with all the love in the book and crazy chaos you have the red hot energy between Emmett and Bree.
Plus Dale doing his thing of showing his love by torturing the boys.
As soon as I started to read the first page, the whole world and everything around me disappeared. I forgot to eat, to sleep, and to even blink because I was trapped inside the book. This story will caught you and make think that you are Bree. You’ll feel her pain, you’ll feel the emotions, and you’ll feel the fire of true love.
Izzy and Sean did it again.
Another amazing book in this series by these two. This is the fifth book and is Emmett and Brees story and I was just so hooked from page one until the end. Really great characters and the storyline I loved.
Emmett “The Angel” Bailey is a hot mess. Crazy hot mess. It took some old favorite friends to pull him out. But what really did it was Bree. Their chemistry was almost magnetic explosive right from the first look. Her instant bond with Casey was cute. They are all broken, but perfect to help fix eachother.
I love this series from my favourite writers and the latest installment has all the trademarks its known for : great relatable characters and witty humour in a very real language. I love that the hero Emmet starts out with a beer gut – how many romances do that ? – and his path back to his fighting level is inspiring. The heroines in this series usually begin in emotially disadvantaged situations ,being manipulated by those who are supposed to protect them. Their journey to owning their personal power is so fun to read! That being said – have to say Bree wasn’t my fave. Came on a little wussy in the beginning but she did redeem herself. And the gang from the other books are back – Bret, Chase, Mindy etc. Finally when does Dale get to tell his story? Love him!
Avenging Angel is a guaranteed good time!
