Rating: 4 Stars

*** Big thanks to NetGalley for providing me with a free copy of this book for an honest review. ***

A hot steamy romance featuring twins.  What more can a girl ask for?

Ella sees herself as damaged goods.  Six months ago, she had gotten out of an emotionally abusive relationship.  Now, she was working towards her accounting degree so she can get out of the MMA world she grew up in, leave Las Vegas, and pursue a relatively normal life.  However, that plan is almost derailed when she first meets the De La Cruz twins.

Rodrigo (Rigo) and Diego are former MMA fighters who are looking to invest in a gym in Vegas.  When they first set eyes on Ella outside a gym where her BFF was fighting, they make it very clear that they are interested in her.  However, Ella only wants a one-night stand when them despite their intent.  After that one night of sheer bliss, she makes it clear that she never wants to see either of them again.

Of course, things never work out the way we want.  All three found out the next morning that they are now step-siblings as Ella’s mother and the twins’ father unexpected got married!  This threw a wrench in Ella’s plan.  The twins are now in her life, whether she wants this or not, and it becomes hard not to fall for two almost perfect men.

I am not an MMA fan, but the author managed to make it integral to the story but at the same time kept it enough in the background to not overwhelm the reader who was not familiar with the sport.  It follows one of the more predictable romance tropes of girl meets boy(s), girl doesn’t want boy(s), but then falls hard for him (them) with a HEA ending.  The book was entertaining and kept me interested, but it wasn’t an exceptional story either.
