Why does being bad feel so good? Rich. Successful. Smoking hot. Cocky bastard Leandro Oliveira has it all, including the championship belt he’s been chasing for years. But he’s tired of what people say about him, and he’s eager to prove himself in the World Fighting Championship. What’s a visit to a strip club here, a threesome there? But the WFC’s president doesn’t like the negative press … negative press Leandro’s bad boy antics bring. Enter PR consultant Ashlynn Fields. She’s beautiful, smart, and would look fantastic spread out on Leandro’s bed.
One look at Leandro, and Ashlynn knows she’s got her work cut out for her. He’s everything his reputation promised and more. Even though she doesn’t fall for men like him, the more time they spend together, the harder it is to resist his charm. But with her job on the line, she refuses to be another notch on Leandro’s bedpost, even if he is the sexiest man she’s ever laid eyes on. As the chemistry between them turns explosive, it’s a battle of heads and hearts as they fight for a future neither knew they wanted.
This is a super sexy standalone enemies-to-lovers workplace romance. High heat, steamy banter and loads of fun. No cliffhanger—we promise!

The Blood and Glory series continues to blow me away. I can’t get enough!
After reading Take Down (Book two) I was beyond excited to find out Leandro Oliveira was getting his story next! Leandro is an egotistical and entitled MMA fighter. After his big fight with Champion Gabriel ‘The Sandman’ Maddox I wasn’t shocked at all to find the extreme chip on Leandro’s shoulder in No Contest. Even at the top of his game, Leandro feels cheated and not worthy of his accomplishments. Which to be honest, is completely understandable.
Leandro’s latest strip club stunt lands him in hot water and the only way out is to go along with Craig Darcy’s plan. Ashlynn Fields is a freelance publicist with the biggest job of her career being offered on the table. That job is to make Leandro Oliveira look good.
Ashlynn thinks what everyone thinks of Leandro. He’s nothing but a rich boy who has the world handed to him on a silver platter. But she couldn’t be more wrong. In this novel we get the real Leandro and not the image that he wants everyone to see.
I loved getting a deeper look into Leandro’s character and the type of person he truly is. This man has struggled through life, maybe not financially but emotionally. His mother is a wolf who only thinks about herself and his father wasn’t the exact role model you would want your son to look up to. With Ashlynn’s help, Leandro turns from the man he despises and into the man that he can admire and truly wants to be. The man who can make his grandfather proud.
Ashlynn and Leandro are the hottest couple (in my opinion) of this series! Their forbidden romance was a page turner and had me on the edge of my seat needing more! No Contest is without a doubt my favorite book in the Blood and Glory series!
But what isn’t to love when you have a brazilian alpha male who finds himself falling in love for the very first time!
This novel is not only hot as hell but also very emotional. It’s a whirlwind to watch two people who have been emotionally closed off, from the start, learn to open their hearts and let unconditional love and trust in. <3
As for the blurb.....I was a little skeptical when I read the opening sentence because of my love for Katy Evans and her real series....BUT.....I have to admit, the first sentence of the blurb is true! If you are a lover of Katy Evans and the Real series...I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you read No Contest!
Leandro is a MMA fighter that needs good publicity after a series of wild behavior moments. Ashlynn is hired to clean up his image. These two are instant chemistry with a battle going down. A good read, third in the series but can be read as a standalone.
I received a free arc from Netgalley and am voluntarily leaving my review.
No Contest is book 3 in the Blood & Glory series but can be easily read as a stand alone. The writers have given their readers a hit sexy relationship between a rich playboy MMA star & the publicist hired to clean up his image. Leandro doesn’t think it needs cleaned up. A sex tape, illegal racing, drunken parties & nothing needs cleaned up? He even thinks of the publicist as another woman to seduce to gain control of the situation.
Ashlynn’s new freelance job is trying to clean up the image & reputation of an MMA fighter. She wasn’t expecting the sparks that were flying from the first moment they met. He wasn’t expecting someone that would refuse his advances. Ashlynn knows that everything is on the line for her & is determined not to screw it up. Will she give in to the desire or will she stand firm in her principles? Will Leandro ever realize that money doesn’t get you everything?
These authors manage to write so seamlessly that the reader can not tell when they switch or who is writing which part. Their characters are fully developed. The men are strong, sexy Alpha males & the women are equally as strong & bring their men to their knees. The sex scenes are hot & intense but also tastefully done. The plot is interesting with twists that aren’t expected & keeps the reader interested & involved. I enjoyed this book but it is not for those that like it tame & behind closed doors or get turned off by cussing.
Leandra Oliveira is a PR nightmare, completely unruly, parties every night, and likes to spend his evenings rolling around in the sheets with random women… and it’s finally caught up to him! His boss has had enough, and with sponsors threatening to pull their support, there needs to be a change made, and it seems publicist Ashylynn Fields is the perfect woman for the job! But she definitely has her work cut out for her when her new trouble-making client takes a shine to her, she has no interest in be part of his mess… but he always gets what he wants!
The moment Ashylynn Fields comes into Leandra’s world and starts handing out orders he can’t help but smile, she is down right gorgeous, and he knows that if he turns on the playboy charm he can change her mind and diminish the control over his life that she has been given. But he is met with a resistance that he didn’t anticipate, and begins to realize he may have just met his match… and she deals him a hand he never saw coming!
No Contest is naughty little literary tale that packs a serious emotional punch… readers are going to love this one!! This is my third visit to the series, and this is the one fighter that I have been dying to get better acquainted with… and all I’ve got is WOW what a man!! I had a feeling he was going to be a handful, and boy was he ever, at times I wondered if Ashylynn would be able to handle him and all his antics, but then she started to surprise me and give him hell, and I had to cheer her on!! This was a fun one to devour, it had it all; the emotional depth that spawns the feels, the toe curling romance that makes you blush, and the feisty banter that continually stokes the fire and keeps things nice and steamy… it’s freaking amazing!! If you haven’t had a chance to meet the men of the Blood and Glory series I highly recommend you remedy that ASAP, their sexy stories will have you swooning from start to finish!!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this title.
