What happens when a cocky bad boy falls for a good girl?I’m Connor ‘Alpha Male’ Anderson. Pound for pound I’m the best MMA fighter in America, and I’ve got the brains, balls, and brawn to back it up – 230 pounds of pure muscle, infinite charm, and the stamina to last all night long. But with the biggest fight of my career coming up, I’ve got to keep my pants zipped and get my head in the game.… the game.
That’s when Frankie Jones comes in. An amazingly hot yoga teacher, she drives me crazy with those booty shorts and sports bras. I’ll hold downward dog as long as she wants so I can show her my cobra. She’s a total bombshell, feisty, and challenges me every step of the way. She doesn’t fall for my alpha game, and that only turns me on more. But how can I get myself into her skin-tight leggings, with the pressure of this title match coming up and my trainer’s orders to keep it in my pants?
Before I met Frankie, all I wanted was to win this fight.
But now?
All I want is her.

This ‘opposites attract’ romance is an exciting, sexy, and heartfelt story. Connor “Alpha Male” Anderson is a talented MMA Fighter who is entering the UFC. He has a chance to fight for the Light-heavyweight Title, the biggest opportunity of his life. He is getting caught up in all the hype as he tries to show he is worthy. One day when he starts to feel overwhelmed by all the pressure, he meets Frankie, a beautiful, perceptive woman who owns yoga studio. She offers him a free session to ease his tension. They have instant chemistry and he thinks he seeks her out later only to hit on her. He finds she can offer him more than a physical release, but a psychological one as well. Even tho they seem like opposites on the surface, they are very much alike. They are both determined, and hard working, they have the same sense of humor and sense of adventure. But Frankie has her own problems trying to keep her studio afloat. Neither can afford the distraction a relationship will cause. But that doesn’t stop them from feeling the intense heat that is erupting between them. When the pressures of their careers intensify, and past lovers appear to tear them apart, will they be able to go the distance or will they lose their fight to stay together? I absolutely loved Connor and Frankie, they were so perfect for each other. They made each other laugh, they had fun together, made each other stronger, and their passion was off the charts. The secondary characters were genuine adding fun and tension. This story had just the right amount of fighting information to make the story interesting for a me but not too much to make me lose interest. This is the first book I’ve read from this author and I loved all the emotion, passion, humor, and excitement he caused me to feel. I was engaged from start to finish and the epilogue and ending sentence was brilliant. I will definitely read more from this author.
Secrets of an Alpha Male gives us the answer to the age old question what is an Alpha Male? The definite answer can be found on the last page of the book.
Cocky, arrogant Connor ‘Alpha Male’ Anderson has all the confidence in the world. He is taking the leap from obscurity to fighting for the UFC’s light-heavyweight championship belt. He doesn’t do it quietly, oh no Connor makes sure the whole world knows he’s the best in a overly self-assured kinda way. Cocky maybe too nice of a word for Connor. He’s is in need of a lesson in humility and humbleness.
Frankie Jones is a struggling yoga instructor. She owns her own business but it’s on the brink of closure. Frankie is well trained in yoga but her unwillingness to accept help has her business floundering. She’s stubborn and wants to prove that she can do it on her own.
When Connor first meets Frankie, while purchasing some green gunky health drink (drink type is an assumption), he makes sure he doesn’t leave without her card. He sneaks his way into her yoga class and soon after her pants. This an acute case of opposites attracting. However the one thing they both have in common is their stubbornness that almost dooms both their careers.
You don’t want to miss this Alpha love story filled with wit, humor, vindication and a well concluded HEA. The author does a great job drawing his story together and giving us the best HEAs. 5 Stars!
WOW!! What a 5 STAR KNOCKOUT for JD Hawkins again!!! Loved Connor and Frankie’s story right from the start!!! Alpha Male Connor Anderson is one Hot Gorgeous man, rippled with muscles that don’t quit!! He can out talk them all with his alpha attitude until he meets Frankie Jones and her yoga magic!! Loved reading Connor’s POV getting inside his head, finding out what really made him tick. I’ don’t know very much about MMA fighting although I have always enjoyed boxing, but JD just seemed to described everything with such precise detail in a manner that was easy to follow. I think I may start watching MMA fights now, just out of sheer interest!! Frankie is such a beautiful character, you instantly fall in love with her. Of course there’s a nasty ex, but she’ll get hers eventually. I loved the chemistry between Frankie & Connor, sizzling HOT scenes that could make your toes tingle!! You’ve done it again JD, another 5 star success and I loved every single page!! Thank you for the book!!
Hold onto your panties ladies, cause this alpha male will knock you out!
Secrets of an Alpha Male is passionate, electrifying, and sexy AF! From the intense fighting, to the delicious chemistry, everything about it just screams dominance!
Connor “Alpha Male” Anderson is cocky, authoritative, and built like a brick house! He commands attention from everyone, and not just the lusty women in heat. But all it takes is one unexpected encounter with Frankie Jones, and he’s a goner. Yoga teacher, compassionate, and soft-hearted, Frankie is everything Connor isn’t. With the biggest fights just around the corner, and a failing business in desperate need of help, can these two risk everything on a whirlwind romance?…and will being together only hurt each other in the long run?..
I haven’t read many MMA books, but after this one, it tops my very short list! It was the perfect balance of romance and fighting. And good lord!…both aspects were excellent!
I liked Connor’s character immediately. His hotshot attitude, his swagger, the winks, the sexy smirks….everything! And Frankie!…the exact counterpart to Connor’s character. She engaged with him right away, without judgment. She may come across as meek, or without backbone, but I feel like she had a presence about her that is just as commanding as Connor’s, if not more. She didn’t back down when challenged. And after many interactions with Frankie, Connor started to acquire a more reserved quality about him. Smart remarks and running his mouth doesn’t mean an automatic win in the ring. They are an absolute match for each other! And throw in a crazy stalker ex-girlfriend, a creepy landlord, and an overconfident hothead of an opponent, and it makes the book just as dramatic as it is hot and swoony!
Without a doubt, this is JD Hawkins’ best book yet! You will not regret reading it; a highly recommended must read! 5 Knockout Stars!
