Worth the Fight (MMA Fighter Series Book 1)

Out of god knows how many adult romance stories I've read this is by far the best written. Authentic, mature characters and amazingly GREAT Sex. Thank you for this story. I've read it in less than twelve hours (I'm on holidays at the moment-don't judge me!) and before I one-click anything else I'm actually going to go back and read this one all over again.

An attorney and mma fighter.... wow that's a match. I was a little reluctant to purchase but in the end glad I gave it a shot. Nico has green eyes, a hot body and a huge heart. I love a real man who knows what he wants and fights for it. I loved this book and will reread it in the future.

I must say that overall Im happy with the price and story line!!

Wow! Great storyline for the couple. Nico is so hot! Elle has had a lot of stuff going on in her past to make her feel numb inside. They each have their own demons to overcome before they can move on with each other. There are some twists along the way for the couple. It is a great love story. It is a must read!

The two main characters of the story had pasts that seemed to haunt them. I instantly fell in love with both of them. They reached out for each other and fell in love. I can't wait to start the next book of the series. I give Worth the Fight by Vi Ireland an amazing 4 stars! Keep up the great work!

I admit to a little trepidation when I started reading this book.. A part of me wondered if I was going to have reminders of the real series. While both of the main characters are fighters, that pretty much ends the similarities.
I really ended up liking both the main characters and I am hopeful they will show up in the next book.

Nico is definitely a lover and a fighter! This was a great story about a fighter needing to make peace with himself for what he believes he caused. Elle helps him find that through her trust and love. I would like for William to have a happily ever after also, he seems like a great guy. Hopefully, the author will write a book about Williams life.

Love Elle and her conflict. Although she carries too much guilt from her youth and Nico carries the same type of guilt in his adult years. These two are so great together. Love how Elle questions what she wants in a relationship and goes for what will truely make her happy and not just satisfied! The jealousy is cute between the two of them and the sex is explosive! Very good read and had me from page 1.

Very good book. I enjoyed the "tough and rugged bad boy with a sensitive side". This is the type of book that keeps my interest and allows for an easy read. The character relationships were realistic and with any good romance novel it has the drama, sincerity, realism, romance, love and depth. I recommend this book.

Wow....i loved Nico, loved him, wanted him for my boyfriend! This was a book about forgiving yourself, to accept that sometimes life gives you lemons and you have no idea what to with them but to move on and hope everything works out. Loved the story, the plot, the romance, Nico was Swoony, really, and the sex...ohhh...enough said.

I really enjoyed this book.It was well written and the story line was good.I loved the his and hers POV , I feel like you get to know and understand both characters a lot better then just from her POV.This was the first book I've read by this author and it won't be the last : )

This was a great story, well written!! I liked that it focused on building the relationship between Nico and Elle. They had rough times but it was about how they worked it out, etc. That is what sets this book apart from others, no one cheated, no big revelation that made one character run, it was refreshing!!

First book in this series about MMA fighters by Vi Keeland. How to describe this book is Hot. Hot Alpha MMA fighter named Nico meets lawyer, Elle. Really enjoy this story.Chemistry is Hot and heavy from the beginning. Elle and Nico both need to overcome something from their past to make their relationship work.

I totally love the book, it was a beautiful story that kept me daydreaming all the time. Just imagining those tattoo arms, mmm delicious! Nico & Elle make such great couple, they complement each other, they help each other and OMG they love each other with such passion that trespass the words! Definitely a MUST READ!

Loved this story and the characters. well written, moves at a good pace, never bogging down. Both Nico and Elle have huge issues, but Vi handles the story well, not twisting me into knots to get through to the end. I so love a strong, handsome bad boy that has a soft huge heart and a feisty woman.

Really enjoyed this story. Started off slow Almost stopped reading but, very glad I did not . The story is moving & real , it faves things that we normally want to not face & is does is with grace & love . I recommend this book as a good read for something different !

I stumbled upon this author , and she is incredible. This is a beautiful, loving, sexy, funny story that makes you fall in love with the beautiful Nico. I can not wait to read the next book in the series!!!

WORTH THE FIGHT is the first storyline in Vi Keeland’s contemporary new adult MMA Fighter series focusing on the men of MMA fighting and the women that they love. This is Nico and Elle’s storyline and one that is heartbreaking and full of guilt for a man who was only doing what he was trained to do. Although this is considered a stand-alone, and everything wraps up in the end, the second storyline involves some of the character from Worth the Fight and fast forwards the series by several years.

The premise focuses on two people with deep, dark secrets in their past but for one the secret is buried deeper. Nico is a champion MMA fighter who after a fight where everything went horribly wrong has pulled himself from the arena and competition. Trying to get himself out of a sponsorship contract, Nico’s attorney William enlists the aid of Elle, a fellow attorney and his current girlfriend to research the intricacies of the contract. What ensues is Nico’s attempt to ‘woo’ Elle through dinners, dates and gentleness.

Worth the Fight is a storyline about two people who are unable let go of the past. Both Elle and Nico suffer guilt and the ensuing nightmares that prevent either of them from moving forward. Both must learn to forgive themselves before they are able to accept that they are capable of loving and receiving love. Each guilt is based on similar yet different tragedies and until Nico is able to forgive himself, Elle fears she will never be able to reach the man beneath.

The relationship between Nico and Elle is sensual, sexual and erotic. Nico takes his time getting to know Elle: he doesn’t push for a sexual relationship but continues to build a foundation. When the two finally make it to the bedroom, the fireworks are bright and the love making is hot. This is a man who knows how to please a woman but he is also a man who is afraid to push too hard.

The world building takes the reader behind the scenes of MMA fighting, the arena and the gym. We are introduced to Nico’s trainer Preach and a young street kid Vinny whose story will be told in Worth the Chance in 2014.

Vi Keeland pulls the reader into a heartbreaking story where two people must learn to forgive themselves, let go of the part and move forward. Until one is able to forgive, the heart is closed to new adventures, new relationships and a future.

I loved this story. The characters were developed and their secrets were intriguing! I adore an alpha male with a soft side and Nico definitely delivered. But Elle wasn't a pathetic wimp either, she was strong and sexy. Definitely worth the read!

What a great story - and so HOT - loved every moment and could't put it down for anything. Starting the next in the series today. Just great, heartwarming characters and a story to die for. Love Keeland's writing - I'm now a super fan - Pam

According to Wikipedia "Passion" is as follows: "Emotion~Passion is a term applied to a very strong feeling about a person or thing. Passion is an intense emotion compelling feeling, enthusiasm, or desire for something." - Wikipedia

If you want to feel the power of this emotion then Worth The Fight is the book for you. Vi Keeland gives us Nico Hunter and Elle James ... They are both broken on the inside and need the pieces put back together so they are not just on autopilot trying to get thru life. This story will make you feel the raw emotions of wounded souls, steamy romance that will set the sheets on fire and love that consumes your soul❤️. THANK YOU VI KEELAND!!! I can't to read it again and I am soooo excited about this new series!!! You set the standards high for all other authors Vi!!!?

You will totally fall for Nico. He makes you smile when he's playful and almost cry when he's in pain. I absolutely adore Elle too. I can't say that about other girls in other books. But Elle makes you love her because she is smart, beautiful and not so needy.

Great story with character development that makes you connect with Elle and Nico both. And both are intelligent and rational! The story is believable and hot both. Looking forward to this authors next book!

I enjoyed this book it was a little different than your usual damaged man and goodie girl. They're both damaged by their pasts. This was beautifully written and you genuinely feel for both of them as they try to over come their demons.
