Knockout

New Adult Fighter Romance

By: J.C. Valentine

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

From the wrong side of the tracks... Alyson Blake had learned early on that the only one she could depend on was herself. The only light in her life was a boy whom everyone agreed was destined for prison; but with his first kiss, he had set her soul on fire. Since the day the police dragged him away in handcuffs, she had managed to lead a quiet life, but when she attends an event fraught with mayhem, trouble resurfaces. The one person she can’t forget... Jamison Weston is the kind of guy dads load their shotguns for; endowed with a hot temper and a rap sheet as long as both tattooed arms. Known as “The Judge,” Jami’s hot temper, lethal fists, and cocky attitude have earned him respect and admiration both in and out of the ring. But just when he thinks he’s pummeled his past to death, Alyson Blake reenters his life. Two paths collide… After years of separation, Alyson is eager to reexplore the man who’s never left her thoughts, but for Jamison, she’s both the distraction he wants, but doesn’t need. As the two embark on a relationship that neither of them expected or bargained for, an outside threat closes in. When Alyson crosses the line of professionalism and takes her work home with her, her life is put in danger, leaving Jamison with no choice but to once again step in and become her protector. **Book One in a two part story.**

The virtual voice ruins the book.

Liked the story, loved the characters and….not knowing anything about MMA or boxing… was hesitant on listening to this book; however, the author described the details of the fights with such clarity that I had a vivid picture of what entailed throughout the book. The performance is 1-star because of the virtual voice. Too many words mispronounced…including the lead females name…and it took away from the emotional and dramatic moments. Sentences were broken in odd areas and then sentences were run together. Don’t like the virtual voice at all!
