SURVIVE is the first book in the FIGHT IT OUT SERIES and can be read as a standalone. This gripping romantic suspense will NOT leave you with a cliffhanger, but trust me, you’ll want to read UNBROKEN, Charlie’s story, next.

Uppercut: A MMA Sport Romance with a twist. Firstly, I love MMA so I had to read this novel. Secondly, I love that this novel is unrivaled as it focuses on a female fighter. All MMA books that I have read are all based on a male fighter. A secret that will unlock the connection between former fighter Julian Moore & MMA legend “The Punisher” that is the key to solving the mystery. Suspense intertwined with betrayal, MMA fighting: uppercut, tap outs, etc, romance, & twists to keep you captivated until the end. Character’s are complex with witty personalities. Cute romantic banter between Lilly and Julian. Supporting character’s are a fun mix. Looking forward to reading the next novel in this series which is Lilly’s best friend Charlie’s story.
Uppercut was a captivating story. Once I started reading it was hard for me to stop. There were a lot of twists and turns in it that I hadn’t seen coming. I found myself pulled into the story and trying to unravel the mystery right along side Lily.
Lily is a wonderful character. She’s strong, smart and determined. She started fighting as a child and then when she became an adult Lily changed her name so she could make one for herself in the MMA world without piggybacking on her father’s name. Even when she lost someone she held dear, picked up and moved to a different state and became the target of unwanted attention she never faltered. She worked hard and never quit. A true fighter to the very core.
I was pleasantly surprised by the little tie-in to Mrs. Kelly’s Falling Deep Into You series. That being said this story is a stand alone and you don’t have to read the other series to enjoy this book.
I can’t wait to read the next book.
I fully acknowledge that I am more feminine than most females, having had “How a lady behaves” imprinted on me by my English grandmother and a convent education. I therefore had very little to relate to in this action adventure story. Nevertheless, I couldn’t help but enjoy Lily’s character, her determination, and endurance. My only question, whether it be for male or female, is “Why on earth would anyone want to endure so much pain?” Every girl needs a best friend and Charlie gives Lily the support and care she needs when most needed. However, it is Julian who is able to break through her defenses and teach her what she needs to know to be a winner. It is, therefore, a shock to realise that the people she trusted most in her life had a dark side and when the truth that overshadows Lily’s family starts to emerge, she beyond shocked and horrified. The book is generally well written with a good balance of action, mystery, romance and humour, that keeps the reader entertained to the very end. I received a copy of this book as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.
Great book. Mystery, suspense, fights (MMA), and romance. Julian and Lily were destined to be together. The plot was well written with twists, turns, and surprises. Characters were well developed and believable. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.
I totally enjoyed this sexy read about Lily and Julian. Normally, I read about male mma fighters, so having Lily being a fighter was fantastic. This book will suck you in and have you reading to the end to see what the twists and turns are. If you enjoy suspense with your romance, be sure and grab your copy.
This book was a fabulous read. This was my first MMA story. Though it’s not my favorite sport I loved this book. I like how the story is a romance with mystery.
Lily has been taught to fight since she walk by her father. She moves with a friend to Las Vegas so they can pursue their dreams of winning a championship. She soon meets Julian and starts training at his gym. Lily and Julian make a hot and funny couple and you can’t help wanting the best for them. When she uncovers secrets from her parents past which involve Julian it leaves her searches to find the answers. This is a must read. Terra hit it out of the ballpark with this one.
Uppercut was a captivating story, definitely page turner it will pull you in.
There are a lot of twists and turns in it that I hadn’t seen coming.
Lily is a wonderful character. She’s strong, smart and determined. Her father was big name in MMA,so she started fighting very early. As adult Lily changed her name so she could make on her own and not connected to her father’s name.
She worked hard ,fight even when she lost somebody close to her heart.
Now is also her time to fight for her future

What a great story about a girl who just wants to make it on her own in the MMA world. Lily Waters is no stranger to this world and all that it encompasses as her father is Johnny “The Punisher” Adams. But she does not want to use that in any way. This was a captivating story of how Lily makes her dreams come true. Does Lily have to sacrifice her potential career for love, or can she have it all? This book is not without its twists and turns of course, which I found just drove me to read each word and turn each page a little faster to get to the end to see what happens. Great read!

Uppercut is a well written intriguing story about two strong characters who go on quite a journey of discovery. I really enjoyed reading about a female MMA fighter because we usually only get books about male fighter. This book is full of mystery, suspense, secrets and a beautiful love story. Looking forward to reading the next book in this series.
