My kid’s a “little terrorist” and I need wine!!!
Axel is a MMA fighter who is one of the newer guys at a training camp in Austin, Texas. It is the same camp where Killian, Soldier, Drake and Krae all train out of and he has even fought against Drake in the past before he moved up a weight class. He is single as he has concentrated on his MMA career but as he is looking at the other fighters and seeing how they have been able to fight and have families he is thinking maybe he can do the same. Plus he loves his three year old nephew Nathaniel (Nate) and Nate’s single mother Della
Lucia Quinn is a single mother to three year old Luke who is trying to make it in a new position at work after being promoted recently. She has had a bad morning when the presentation she was trying to give crashed on the rocks, a migraine started to come on, her Luke’s daycare phoned and said she had to come and pick him up immediately and then to add insult to injury a guy stole her purse in the underground parking of her office building. Luckily for her a very nice man did trip the thief and retrieve her purse for her but the rest was pretty much soul crushing. The man is ever so handsome, has a deep voice that makes her insides quiver and immediately calms her down. The man turns out to be Axel and as she needs to go she gives him her business card and suggests he call her if he wants to.
It is two weeks later and Axel has not been able to stop thinking about Lucia. He finally decides to phone her and ask her be his date to the retirement party for Soldier. Unfortunately she cannot, but does not explain why, and they hang up, he is after all “so smooth”……not! That night Lucia has plans to go with her best mother friend Della to a house party for one of her older brother’s teammates who is retiring. It turns out that Della is the one and only younger sister to Axel. When Della gets pulled away by another person leaving Axel and Lucia together they end up ditching the party and taking a drive up into the hills above Austin for some fun in the back of his truck under the night sky. For Axel this feels right in so many ways and the same for Lucia, but she also thinks it is most likely just a one time thing. But Axel is used to fighting for what he wants and the now includes Lucia and he three year old “feral” terrorist son Luke.
Axe is the fifth book in the Fit to Love series and is a sweet, romantic, fast-paced and dirty sexy short story. The characters are wonderfully written and the story-line is great. I really loved this book and recommend it and the rest in this series also.

Her rescuer – Their New Life! This is a cute and short instant love story about Axe and Lucia. Axe is a fighter and Lucia is trying to get a promotion but her little terrorist of a son, has other plans. Lucia is trying to do a presentation but she then gets a migraine and her phones starts ringing off the hook as her 3 year old son decided to bite a kid again and she needs to rush out to pick him up at the daycare center. On her way out a man joins her in the parking elevator and snatches her purse and she tries to fight him, but can’t until Axe comes into the picture and trips the man on his feet and takes the purse back from him and gives it to Lucia. The story takes off from there as you know there is an instant connection when they shake hands and that electricity jolt hits them both. Note Lucia’s new best friend, Della, happens to be Axe’s little sister, but she does not know! I cannot wait to read Della’s story but also – I love the Epilogue of this story as everyone including Benji and Sara get to have a say on this ends/starts.

What a terrific addition to this series. Book No.5 in the FIt to Love series does not leave you disappointed. No, not one bit. Fate throws these two together and the steaminess ensues. You can’t but love the characters in this book, especially as Axe is so quick and able to love her despite her having a child, this is definitely a big win in my books. Well done, Tarin, absolutely superb.
This was such a sweet heart warming story. Axel saves Lucia from a mugger and then finds out she is his sisters new best friend. They have a instant connection. Short sweet story that I loved

Lucia and Axel. Great combination. They are perfect for each other. This is a short, sweet, steamy story. Axel saves Lucia’s purse after some guy grabs it and runs. Right over Axel’s foot! This starts the beginning of their whirlwind romance. I would have to say that the Epilogue was my favorite part. It ended everything perfectly.

Another fun Fit to Fight read and the connection between Lucia and Axel is much closer than they think
Axel has worked hard at his MMA career but as he sees his friends fall in love and start families he knows that is what he wants to Then he stumbles on the most beautiful woman he has ever seen been mugged in a car park and he rides to her rescue but she basically runs on him Lucia has been called to pick up her three year old son from day care and is almost robbed in the car park until a gorgeous man rescues her but she can’t hang around after all she has to get her son When her best friend Della invites her to a party she discovers her brother is non other than Axel and he is determined that she will be his and that they are meant to be a family
Loved it! Instalove, best friend’s brother, single mom, this story uses a variety of tropes. Both Axe and Lucia are a bit awkward when they first begin talking. Neither is sure of the other but both sense the potential. Axe and Lucia each misread signals, thinking the other is merely polite and not truly interested. But Fate steps in, landing them both at the same party, clearing up misunderstanding and missed opportunities. And that is all it takes. Axe is all in, and Lucia finds her way to trust him …. with her heart and her son. Sweet and fast and steamy and fun, I really really enjoyed this book!

Lucia has to bail on a big presentation at work because her son is acting up at daycare. On her way out, she’s mugged. Axe waves her and her purse. She says thanks and gives him her number, but when he gets up the nerve to ask her out to a friend’s party, she’s already got plans. Surprise for both of them – she shows up at the party with her bestie, his little sister. This story is a terrific addition to this series. I love these two together, and it doesn’t bother her friend/his sister at all. The one thing that I like best about Axe is that he is not scared off because Lucia has a child. I can’t say much without a spoiler, but the epilogue is written in a much different manner than most, and I really like it.

This is a short sexy romantic heart throbbing love story.Lucia gets her purse stolen and Axel comes to her defense and gets it back for Her. Lucia is a single mom with a young son. Lucia thanks Axel and gives him her business card and tells him to call. It’s been a couple of weeks and he calls, but she’s not available. She already has committed to a previous engagement. What happens next is a surprise. Lucia shows up at the same function as Axel. I think it is destiny! Axel is sexy, romantic, confident, knows what he wants and does do romance, feelings, laughter and he believes in special moments. I really enjoyed this story! The story was sexy romantic, steamy and sweet, sweet love.

This short and sexy story hit me in the feels with how sweet Axe was. I liked the insta-lust aspect of Axe with our main gal and their subsequent journey.

This is a short sweet story about Axe who seems to be content with his life until his chance encounter with Lucia. He finally makes his move and it doesn’t work out but fate steps and they are put into each other’s paths again. Lucia is a single mom and she is wary of introducing her son to someone but Axe proves to be a great guy and just who she and her son needs.
I love the epilogue!
This book is amazing! Another wonderful love story by Tarin that features great characters, an amazing story, and a very happy ending.
