*Book 1 — The Savage Gentleman — is available now!My name Damien “The Sinner” Reyes. I’ve been called every name in the book by my long list of haters: cocky, hard-headed, impulsive, arrogant. But there’s another name I like to go by—the best MMA fighter in the world. You’ve never heard of me, but one day you’ll know my name. I was broken when I met her, mending mental and physical wounds, and … and physical wounds, and that’s when Harper approached me, wanting to tell my story to the world. There was only one problem—she was the hottest woman I’d ever seen in my life. Why was that a problem? She wanted a profile for her blog, and all I wanted was to see her naked. It was doomed to never work out. But then one night I asked her to go to dinner with me, and everything changed between us.
I though it would be smooth sailing, but then her unknown past stepped between us, threatening not only the two of us, but standing in the way of my personal dreams. If I can overcome my obstacles, then I know I’m destined for greatness. There are only three things I want now—Harper by my side, a contract with the UFC, and for everyone in the world to know that I’m the most Savage Sinner in the world.

Holy Moly! Book 1 in this series started off with such a bang and book 2 absolutely did NOT disappoint! Another home run for Christopher Harlan!
Really loving the second book in this series. If you love Lucas and Mila, you’ll love Damian and Harper! Two people from different situations collide to make for a great story and a hopefulness of the good winning! This book keeps you needing more which is why Christopher Harlan left you with a cliffhanger!!! An amazing series that keeps getting better! No to wait for the third book in the series
This is book two in this series and it doesnt disappoint. This is a friends to lovers romance as well as an MMA romance. I really enjoyed the storyline and the characters and I really loved their chemistry. I cant wait to see how their story ends as this part ends with a cliff hanger.
Another enjoyable book by Mr. Harlan.
This book continues the series and the great character development that we saw in the first book. I really like that aspect as you really get to know the characters well and you get to “catch up” with the characters from the first book.
This book does end in somewhat of a cliffhanger, so be prepared for that……but that just means I can’t wait for the next book to find out what happens.
A great read. Amazing characters and world.
I am so in Love with this book!!! Damien and Harpers journey was amazing story to read!

Another amazing MMA book from Christopher Harlan.
Second in the Savage Gentlemen series. Loved Damien’s story! He and Harper were so good together, great chemistry. The fight scenes feel like you are ringside. So much action. Can’t wait for the next book in the series!
The Sinner gave us some further insight into the MMA world and the hard work these fighter put in to become part of the UFC. Damien has finally met his match with Harper. She’s a true MMA enthusiast and not just some groupie. She speaks her mind, pulls no punches and understands his world. What begins as a story about Damien turns into their HEA. Let’s not forget it is the MMA so there will be some drama. And Lucas makes appearances which is enjoyable. Love Master Splinter. Looking forward to the next book
A true friends to lovers romance. You get to see a gradual buildup of of Damien and Harper come to be together. From their first conversation, there is a mutual attraction and teasing. It continues to grow each time they see each other. Damien is definitely a gentleman. Harper is harboring an interesting secret, which could affect their relationship.
This book is also a great tutorial as to what it takes to become an MMA fighter. I really haven’t read many books that showcase this sport, so it was really interesting.
This was a 4.5 star read
This book is the second one of a series… but can be read as a stand-alone.
Although because I hadn’t read the first one I do feel I need to go back and do so for my own benefit.
But even saying that… Christopher knows how to pull you in.
I love the way he writes and how he gets you invested in the characters.
Damian and Harper are no exception.
The chemistry between them was hot.
Love the way we were taken through Damian’s journey of recovery and falling in love.
This ends in a cliffhanger… but it only has me excited to read the next book.
I was given an ARC but voluntarily chose to review
Book 2 in the Savage Gentleman series. This story can be read as a standalone but if you love MMA, I would read book 1 as well. Love MMA stories. Harper and Damien were so good together. They had a chemistry that was undeniable and instant. Loved it but the only I didn’t love was the cliffhanger. I need to know what happened. I need the rest of their story.
I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
This MMA romance is probably at the top of my list of favorites. The love story between Damien and Harper is a sweet and yet intense from the beginning. Harper came out of no where and turned his world around. She became almost like the center of his gravitational pull. Never leaving his side especially when he needed her. She’s his rock and in return he’s her protector.
This is the second book in the series. You can read it as a standalone. I advise not to because this series is so good and addictive. This book was so good that I was so upset when I got to the end and find a cliffhanger. I wanted more I can’t believe now I have to wait for the next book.
Damien Sinner Reyes is a tatooed MMA fighter. You can’t help not falling for him and feeling bad about his past. Harper is a sweet girl who is journalist who’s area of expertise is MMA fighting. Her brother is a also a past fighter. Unfortunately Harper has this jerk of an ex boyfriend who can’t understand they are not together anymore. The ex is causing problems for Damien.
This series is actually making me understand fighting in a different light. Thankful to receive this arc in exchange of an honest review.
OMG this book was amazing! Once I started reading it I couldn’t put it down and I can’t wait for the next book to get the rest of Damien and Harpers story. You will fall in love with these two and be rooting right along with Harper for Damiens come back and hopes to get to the UFC. This is a great continuation of this series and does end with a cliffhanger. You honestly won’t regret getting this one!
I received an arc in exchange for my honest review.
Christopher is a wonderful writer, he has a way of pulling you into a book. I love Damien and Harper’s story, I can’t wait for the next book to see how it plays out.
Book 2 in Christopher Harlan’s MMA series encompassing the New York Fight Club, its fighters and the women they love. This is the story of Damien “The Sinner” Reyes. He is a young fighter with tons of innate talent who has just returned from Thailand with a leg injury that needs to heal up before he can do any real training again. While waiting for his appointment at a PT office he gets blown away by this sassy, sexy as sin woman who even knows about the fight scene, Harper. But he is not on his game b/c he doesn’t even get her number. A few weeks go by and he sees her at a fight. Turns out she is an online blogger who writes about MMA and is really into it, not just faking it to get his attention. Damien agrees to an in-depth interview and their friendship grows from there. But, Harper is hiding something, actually a couple of somethings from her past…one is family the other is a stalkerish ex, but as for the last one she never thought he would go as far as he did. What happens when Damien almost gets his shot only to have it cruelly ripped away? Revenge is coming and and the Brooklyn Fight Academy fighters better watch their backs. I can’t wait for the continuation of this tale and don’t worry, Harper’s got Damien’s back .
Damien is an MMA fighter trying to work his way back from an injury so that he can get his shot in the UFC. He meets Harper when he goes to his first PT appointment and they seem to hit it off. Of course, neither of them have any way to contact each other. As luck would have it, they encounter each other again.
This book is sexy and a little angsty with some secrets thrown into the mix. I loved it although I was a little confused at the end with why Damien and Harper’s story didn’t actually end.
Wow, great book! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this MMA fighter book that I could not put it down. I am a sucker for a bad boy with a heart of gold and this story has him in spades. I found this book to be hot, entertaining, and enlightening. I have to say that Christopher Harlan did a fantastic job in making me live in a world I am oblivious to—even the terminology. I felt like I was right there. This is a heavy atmospheric tale of the MMA world, one that implicates the reader in the act of coveting the swoon-worthy, gallant fighter, Damien ‘The Sinner’ Reyes. He is the perfect hero for the MMA journalist and fight fan, Harper. Harper asked Damien to do an exposé on him for people to get to know who he is, but there is a conflict with another fighter. Damien is enamored with the feisty, sassy and obstinate beautiful woman, and he will defend and protect her from anyone—even another fighter. Their chemistry leaps off the page. They are combustible. Will they risk it all and fight to be together or does defeat lie within the fall? The storylines are quite unique, and I recommend this book for its charismatic characters depth, its great executed plot, and its steamy sex with a MMA fighter.
“This girl’s gonna be the death of me. And I’m gonna love every single minute of it.”
What girl, in her right mind, doesn’t like a bad boy?? Hmmm? And deep down, what guy doesn’t like a girl that can snark him right back in to place, call him on his crap, and turn him on? Hmmm? Well, Harper and Damien are a perfect match!!
First, we have Harper. She’s a huge, and I mean, huge MMA fan. She’s got her own blog and a pretty decent following. An accidental meeting with Damien Reyes gets both her reporter mind, and her female body, revving with excitement! The attraction seems mutual but she’s keeping a secret, and a past, from him and if he finds out, what ever was starting, it going down for the count.
Second, we have Damien. Focused on fighting and working his way to the UFC, his mind is on one thing, and one thing only. Winning. Sure, he’s used his fighting, looks, and bad-boy image to his advantage in the bedroom department. He’s a guy after all. But meeting Harper finally rings the bell on his extracurricular sheet sambas. So close to reaching his goal, Harper’s past may just ruin everything.
I’ll be honest. I’m not a fan of MMA. I never understood the draw of watching 2 people beat the ever-loving heck out of one another. But, I am a huge fan of this author, and no matter what the topic, he has an amazing talent of pulling you in to the story and making you invested in his characters. I loved Damien and Harper! I will warn you now, it does end it a bit of cliffhanger but it will just leave you wanting the next book all that sooner!! (You even get a little sneak peak of a chapter or two at the end).
This is a great series, and Savage Sinner is a great addition!! I can’t wait to see what’s in store for these two!
Damien and Harper, the return of Matt, Lucas, and Mila. Fighting is in his blood, not because of drive or because he wants to; its because he’s always had to. Damien has had it rough growing up, fighting for everything that he wants. Harper loves the fighting world and loves to write about it. A chance encounter at the PT’s office and then again at another fight, bringing them into contact and their world colliding.
She has a brother and responsibilities while he has focus. An ex boyfriend and some drama that goes with it. UFC is calling for Lucas and Matt is trying to make the big show, will he make it? An incident creates more set backs but he’s ready.
I was so surprise! Christopher left me with a hanger.. a hanger! I could not believe it! I am so ready for the next one, so so ready! I need to know! Perfect 2nd book in the series, love to see Lucas and Mila moving forward and being a part of everything in this one. Cannot wait!! Did I say that already, really I cannot!!
