#BookReview - Hard Knocks: An Ultimate Novella by Lori Foster



Description

In the stunning prequel novella to her new mixed martial arts series, New York Timesbestselling author Lori Foster brings together an elite fighter and the woman he's determined to win.
Power. Brute strength. Unforgettable moves. It's no wonder Harper Gates hasn't been able to get her fling with Gage "Savage" Ringer out of her head. Months have passed since she laid eyes—or any other body parts—on him. Months without a word of contact…until, sidelined by injury, he comes back to town.
Staying focused on his training seemed like a smart move to Gage, even if he thought about Harper every day. Seeing her again only makes it clear how much is at stake. He's got one night to earn back her trust. One night to show her that behind his breathtaking skill and ripped body is a man who'll give her everything she needs.
Don't miss No Limits, the first novel in Lori Foster's Ultimate series.

My Thoughts:
This is a short novella read and sometimes these are difficult to pull off. The characters and plot don't always have enough time to be developed and the reader isn't really pulled into the characters or their surroundings. This maybe should not have been the first book I read by Ms. Foster.

I didn't feel a real connection between the characters (again, however, this is a novella and the connection isn't always easy for the writer to show). Also, as I've mentioned, I have a good friend who was an MMA fighter and I've been with her and a lot of her friends so my mind always critiques the MMA side of things (possibly more than the average reader due to my involvement with those in the sport).

There was a bit of back story given on the couple, but not enough to make me feel like I knew their situation. That being said, the writing was well done and I'm looking forward to reading a full novel by Lori Foster. I do think I'll enjoy them.

 My Rating: 3/5
