I’ve read this book multiple times and this book is one of my go to reads of the Gloves Off Series but I’ve never actually gotten around to posting a review so here goes. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I really enjoyed the connection between Kyle and Megan. I was looking forward to reading Kyle’s story after seeing Camden get his redemption, I knew it was possible but Kyle has done some truely horrible things. I thought it was awesome that LP choose to have Kyle end up in a wheelchair from his fight with Tyler years prior and that after his accident and the possibility that he’d never be able to walk ever again as that would change everyone’s outlook on life, make them reflect on their previous actions and the type of person they want to be going forward since it’s their second chance at life so it made it way more believable that’s the reason Kyle would change, than just meeting a women and wanting to be a better person because of her. Man, Megan’s ex Alex was completely psychotic and I can’t believe that she even had the guts to even give Kyle the time of day knowing all he’d done to f*ck over her friends as well as her ex not only being ab*sive pretty much all of their relationship but he also tried to k*ll her after she left her. It just goes to show the type of person she is and that she got to know the new Kyle instead of just judging him on his previous actions. I’m really glad that they both opened up to each other early on of what happened to Megan and all about her ex and when Megan asked Kyle things about his feelings on how it was thinking he’d never be able to walk again and whether or not he’’d k*lled while fighting at the Dark Side, he never lied to her even if he did expect her scorn and judgement after being completely honest.
I’m really glad that he wasn’t proud of what he’d done and explained to Megan why he’d done everything, which really shone through when they went to his house and Megan commented on all the trophies he had in the Garage and he told her that he didn’t earn them on his own merits, meaning he sabotaged his opponents to win them but he was really proud of the couple of ones he’d earned himself we’re proudly displayed inside the house. I also liked that even though Megan got a lot of flack from her friends and they thought she was completely insane when they heard that the rumours that her and Kyle were seeing each other were true, she stuck by him, she never waivered and she even helped him gaining forgiveness from his sister Kacey, as well as gaining forgiveness from all her friends that he’d wronged in the past. Megan was completely in his corner and one of his biggest supporters along with his old friend/brother Pax when after Pax saw that Kyle was back to what he was like when they grew up together, so his true self before he turned into a complete power hungry, manipulative a*sehole. I’m glad that he happily jumped through as many hoops to gain forgiveness from his sister, even if some of them were extremely hard for him. I’m really sad to see this series end as I love all the Fighters but I’m really looking forward to reading the start of the new Armed & Dangerous Series, Jason’s story next as he intrigued me from when he was first introduced in his sister Brooklyn and Camden’s story Camden’s Redemption and I’m hoping we get some cameos in it since it’s set in Vegas. I’d definitely recommend this book, series and author to everyone.
I wasn’t quite sure how L.P was going to redeem Kyle, but this was a perfect ending to this amazing series. I loved every single book in this series and the characters I won’t forget. With Kyle wanting to start over and get his sister to forgive him and Megan wanting to get away from her ex for good, they never thought that want they need might be each other. I couldn’t put my kindle down, I loved this book from start to finish. Amazing series from an amazing author. I can say I am a fan for life
Great book, loved this entire series.
