Wow! This book gave me all the FEELS!!!! Mason is the ultimate manwhore that will never settle down, so why can’t he get the MILF Mila out of his mind. She seems to be everywhere and he loves her boy. He just knows that from his past he can never be depended on and he will only be a burden. Mila knows she needs a forever kind of man and not the hot MMA fighter Mason, but she can’t help but devour his body with her eyes whenever he sees her. She knows he isn’t the man for her. So when they end up in Vegas after a night she can’t seem to forget, she knows everything has changed. I can not say enough great things about this story. I loved the previous books in this series and this book had me swearing, laughing and crying. Mason I did not think I would love him but damn did he sneak into my heart and I was the one laying on the mat after the Takedown.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book (given by the author)…
I have to say I’ve had a little crush on Mason since we first met him but geez I wasn’t prepared for this Mason, the sexy and swoon-worthy man.
I couldn’t wait to read Mila and Mason’s story especially after that cliffhanger in Clinched. The chemistry between them was off the charts and I loved their relationship. We also finally learn the truth about Mason’s past and it was truly heartbreaking and only made me love him more.
As always, I wanted more 😉

This is another wonderful book by Nikki Ash. Nikki paints a fantastic group of friends and family. You fall more in love with each book she writes. Mason makes you swoon. Such a wonderful read.
Going into this all I knew of Mason was that he was funny as could be, he always has a cocky comeback that leaves you laughing out loud. He’s loyal to those he cares about. And he had a past he refuses to talk about. I loved Mason from the start and I knew I would love his book, because let’s be honest, manwhores need love too. 😉 But what I got of Mason, his past, and his present, blew me away.
Mason is that super fun and funny guy, who is the life of the party, and you always want to have around. Unless you have a girl friend or a single sister who is hot, then you want to keep him far far away. Mason is a whore, plan and simple. His game of ‘fishing’ has done him well. He is the master of catch and release and the girls who want him are ok with it. Settling down is not an option for him, EVER. The women are normally all over him, until Mila. But Mila is a mom, and Mason doesn’t do moms.
Mila is not interested in a man like Mason and what he has to offer. She is looking for love everlasting and she knows he won’t give it to her. So she steers clear of everything that he is. Until she realizes he is gonna be in her life for a while. His best friend is engaged to her best friend. Small world. But through it all she still keeps her distance, until she can’t anymore. Her mind knows Mason isn’t what she wants, but her body tells her he is exactly what she needs. The want of just sex leads to one thing, and one thing leads to another, and then BAM, she finds herself in a world wind of emotions and a relationship she doesn’t know how to make work.
These two individually are amazing, but together they are beyond epic. Mason is everything Mila was looking for a didn’t know, because he hides everything under a sense of humor. Mila is everything Mason was missing, but was to scared to even dream and hope for.
Once the laughter faded, and the strong shield fell, they finally found their one.
I love be this series. I know it’s about the second me generation and there are books for the parents (while ch I will eventually get to and read) but I loved be this whole cast. Mason and Mila were amazing. It was an overall light read with humor and great banter between the characters. There were a few different amazing themes when it come to this story. If you read the 2nd book on the series then you know that these two get Vegas married and I loved it. It had a slow chat slowburn feel to it but you could see their connection from the start. I can’t wait to see what’s going to come next for this author. Her ability to pack her story’s with such emotional scenes but also keep the overall feel of the story like that and low angst is beautiful. 4 stars #2OCCJD
This was an amazing love story of Mila and Mason! You’d never expect that these two opposites would ever end up together, but you just can’t deny their chemistry! This book is part of a series, but can technically be read as a stand alone…. however, I recommend reading the whole series to really get to know these characters on a personal level!
Stellar writing by Nikki Ash! I highly recommend this book, you won’t be disappointed!
This is the third and final book in A Fighting Love Series. This book can be read as a standalone, but I highly recommend that you read the whole series to get the background on the character. This book will have you on the edge of your seat form the very beginning. It will have your emotions on a roller coaster. You will laugh, cry and fall in love.
Mason is a cocky UFC fighter with a panty melting smile and magnetic baby blue eyes. He is a man whore with a “catch and release” philosophy, he is not looking for love and will not allow his heart to open to the idea. he is Tristian’s best friend and brother. Mila is a very independent women, nurse and mother to an 8 yr. old son, she is Charles’s best friend. These two spend a lot of time together but fight the chemistry that they have because Mason has sworn off mother’s and Charlie is not ready to have her heart broken.
When Charlie and Tristian get married and Mason needs to find somewhere to live he answers an ad on Craig’s list and finds it is to live with Mila. He moves in and Alex falls in love with him and Mason is great with him. Mila and Mason will fight their attraction until life will not allow it any longer. When they give in, it is HOT!!! These two both have issues and must work to get through them. When we get the history of why Mason has his heart so closed off you will fall even harder for him. They both deserve happiness and love, and that is what they get. We learn that “Life is too short to simply settle” and that Mila will be the only women to Takedown Mason.
One click this one and Fall in Love
What a story this was. It is Mila and Masons story. I absolutely adore these two and her son. I could not put down until the end it was just so wonderful. My heart seriously melted for them.
Be still my heart !!!! I just love the story of Mason & Mila! The chemistry between these two is off the charts!
Mason ends up as Mila’s roommate after he finds out she posted an add on Craigslist. One needs a roommate the other needs a place to stay…problem solved.
Mason doesn’t talk about himself so we don’t know much about him except what we know from previous books. After he opens up, I can see why he keeps people at arms length and stays far away from anything to do with love.
Mila is a divorced, single mother to Alec. She’s looking for the fairy tale. Someone to love her and take care of her. Someone to share her day. Complete opposite of Mason.
Alec is an adorable 8-year-old who is a big fan of Mason’s and wants to be a fighter when he grows up. He also hates girls LOL
Can you see what’s happening here? You’ll never guess how it happens unless you read this book!!!!!!
My favorite quote from this book is Mason saying “I was thinking the only person who will successfully perform a takedown on me is my wife”
Ok so I can’t give this book enough stars!!!!! It’s absolutely amazing and very well written. I loved Mason and Milas story! There was so many times i wanted to chuckle through the book followed by ahhhh then almost crying to round it off with omg thank goodness it ended that wAy. I have to say i never cry reading books and this one almost teared me up reading about Macen and his mom. I loved the way Mason was with Alec it was so sweet to see the great Almighty catch and release man to finally be hooked line and sinkered. This is by far my favorite book in the series! Well done Nikki Ash!!!
Oh Nikki, you just keep doing it. Mason is one of my favorite characters. Really seeing and feeling what he went through definitely puts things in perspective. And I absolutely love him and Mila. This was the perfect way to end this series. I am absolutely in love with this story and I cannot wait to see what wonderful things you come up with next!!!
This book is nothing short of amazing! It took my breath away and put me back together again. The intensity of this book. I didn’t want to put it down! If you are thinking about reading it do it! Heck I’d buy it for you!!!
I couldn’t wait for this book to come out! The characters were easy to love and storyline kept you interested to the point you didn’t want to put it down. I read it all within a day didn’t want to stop. I recommend it to anyone who loves happily ever afters and single parent romances.
I want to give this book way more than 5 stars. It’s beautiful written, which doesn’t surprise me because all of Nikki Ash’s books are. I absolutely loved this book and sad that this series is over. There was so much more to Mason Street than you would have ever though but OMG. I loved him and Mila together. The way he fell for her and loved her was the greatest thing ever. He loved without even trying and thinking that he couldn’t love. Or really more so fearful to love. He really just didn’t want anyone dependent on him. His past made him think he couldn’t take care of or protect the ones that he loved. In reality he was the best of at it. Nikki Ash’s books always amazing and draw me in right from the start. I can not wait for her next book!
I love all of Nikki Ash’s books, but Takedown is my favorite! Mila and Mason are everything. I could not put this book down and read it in one sitting. We need a sequel, Nikki! I don’t want Mason and Mila to end.
Oh my gosh what can I say Nikki Ash has out done herself AGAIN!!!!
Takedown was bloody awesome I read it all in one day I just couldn’t put it down so beautifully Realistic and relatable Nikki always writes heartwarming breathtaking books and I must admit to be a complete follower of all her stuff !
Single mum meets playboy …
Playboy likes what he sees but doesn’t under any circumstances do MILFS …
A few years later and who know what could happen …
I want me a Mason …..
Wow. MASON STREET IS LIFE!
I really enjoyed reading this book. It was simple and sweet. Straight to the point, without the unnecessary drama. I didn’t know what to expect, but we see Mason and get a glimpse of his gone fishing life, throughout each characters books and in his own you see a totally different person.
I loved Mason from the beginning, manwhore or not.. He is my favorite character out of all of them and Mila grew on me. In some ways she was stubborn and head strong but she stood her ground.
I’m sad that his story ended but happy that I finished it!
I loved this it was a fantastic read by a talented author and I can’t wait to read more I recommend it
Such an awesome book! We see the story of Mason and Mika. We met Mason in previous books and instantly fell in Love with him. This book give you his story and what a story it was. Mila is also a very interesting character. She is a single mom just trying to get by. I love how we see the instant connection they have. The Author does not disappoint and will leave you wanting more. Once i picked up this book i could not put it down. I fell in love with the characters and the story. Definitely a 5 star rating. I do not feel you will have to read the previous books to understand this story. But they are awesome books so why not. Highly recommend.
Mila and Mason’s story was so heartfelt and truly spot on to something many single parents face. MILF moms are 100% attractive and I’m glad this story ended well. Mason & Mila fought their battles and to see them and feel their love build was wonderful. One of my favorites of the fighting love series!
