BOOK SYNOPSIS:
She’s playing hard to get…to win the MMA fighter of her ultimate fantasies in a sultry new novel from New York Times bestselling author Lori Foster

Vanity Baker loves a good, clean match, but she’s not above playing a little dirty. She’s wanted Stack “The Wolf” Hannigan from day one. Seems as though the best way to corral the famously commitment-phobic fighter is to insist on keeping it casual. And her plan works—deliciously well—until Stack’s past steps out of the shadows.

Stack learned early to stay free of attachments. But with sexy, forthright Vanity, he’s the one always left wanting more. Then his troublemaking family comes back into the picture, threatening everything Stack cares about—Vanity included. Suddenly he realizes they’re much more than friends with benefits. He’s ready to go to the mat for her…but will it be in time to protect the woman who’s tamed him for good?

REVIEW:
4.5 Hearts I have read all three books in this series and once again I loved this book. Stack and Vanity are perfect. Stack is so “sweet” even though he is a tough as they come MMA fighter. Vanity is loving and giving and perfect for Stack.

The story is wonderful. I am not into MMA so I have to say I was happy there was not much about the fighting. And we got to attend Cannon and Yvette’s wedding (No Limits Book 1). Vanity is and has been in love with Stack since she first saw him but played a game of catch with him, propositioning him to be her date to the wedding for a night of bedroom fun. He falls for it and so the romance begins. But the thing is there is more to this story. Vanity’s background plays a big part in who she is and Stack’s family plays a big part in this story. And they are wonderful.

I can’t wait for Armie’s story with Rissy. They have a connection that is burning up the pages. And then I hope to see Stack’s sister, Tabitha, get her own story with one of the guys. Crossing my fingers!
