Lori Foster’s Ultimate Series
Hard Knocks
No Limits
Holding Strong
Tough Love
Fighting Dirty
I started this series on No Limits but quickly went and found the novella Hard Knocks before I continued. I have mentioned before that I have this happen often I find a book and then realize it is a book in a series. So let's start in order for you.
This series got me very interested in MMA and if it doesn’t for you then I don’t know what will.
Hard Knocks a prequel novella about Harper Gates who really is the mothering figure of the gym and the man she can’t get out of her mind Gage “Savage” Ringer. They have been circling each other for so long. When Gage has a setback and has to watch his friend take his place in the fight he was training for; Harper gives him the swift kick his mopping butt needs and kicks off that spark.
I love how this novella shows you the dynamics of the guys and the gym in the neighborhood.
No Limits is the first novel of the Ultimate series and about Cannon Colter the heart of the group. He was the one who got the gym started and the neighborhood watch. Yvette has Cannon to thank for her life, without his help back in the Getting Rowdy Book 3 in the Love Undercover series. Yvette is all grown and has come back to the scene of her worst day to take care of her late grandfather’s legacy but she isn’t the only one in the will and responsible, Grandpa did a little matchmaking and included Cannon. I love this novel and can’t recommend it enough.
Holding Strong the second novel in the series is about Denver Lewis and Cherry Peyton. Denver is a little gun shy about the thought of dating the flirty Cherry. Little does he know that she has no idea that she comes off as flirty. Cherry decides to take one last chance to on Denver while the group is away from home to cheer on one of the groups at a local fight. Denver soon learns that Cherry is perfect for him and she needs his help more than he could ever guess. The backstories of both characters killed me. My second favorite couple in the series.
Tough Love is about Vanity Baker, Yvette from No Limits best friend who moved from California to help with Yvette’s new store. Vanity tries hard to learn about the group but only has eyes for Stack “The Wolf” Hannigan. Stack is a little gun shy about attachments but he can’t stop thinking about Vanity. Too bad his family keeps being troublemakers and Vanity gets dragged into the whirlpool. I loved how you had one idea about Vanity because she has money and models on the side. But she is just the sweetest person and completely loyal to the people she holds close.
Fighting Dirty the last novel in the series, and so sweet when the last man falls. Armie Jacobson has gotten to watch all his friends fall and has had a few things to say to all of them. Little does he know but just about all of them know that Armie has given his heart to the one and only person he thinks he can’t possibly have his best friend Cannon Colter’s little sister, Merissa. This is the best good girl and bad boy novel. Armie has done everything he can think of to live up to the damning rumors about him and push Merissa away from him. Too bad that she lives in his mind and heart.
Merissa has loved Armie from afar since she was little but she is losing hope. But this time she needs help and Armie’s best friend thinks that he is the best person to help her. Oh, how the mighty fall.
Here’s wishing you all happy reading and a Merry Bookmas!
