A fantastic slow to fast burn MMA read. If you love the fighting world then you will love this one. What a more perfect pairing then a daughter/sister of fighters and a fighter himself. Well one would think until you get burned like Brooklyn did. But after a little time away from the family gym the no fighter rule just may go out the window when she sets eyes on the newest fighter in the cage. Shane is one hot MMA fighter. I love his heart and how he is with his mom. He never seemed to back down from Brooklyn even when she her self was trying to save her heart. Shane and Brooklyn have amazing chemistry and fit perfect together. The Roth family is amazing. I love the closeness and even the head butting between them. Finally seeing Brooklyn get the support she needs and deserves all around made me into a bit of a gooey mess. Yes there were a few times in this one that I fought back tears. But just wow is it worth it. I love a good MMA book with heart and Until You're Mine has it. I so can't wait until the next book comes out.

Brooklyn comes from a family of MMA fighters, but she is chasing her dream to enter the art world. Painting makes her happy after putting aside her dream for someone else she is no longer willing to.
Shane is a MMA fighter and his dream is to revive his career. He is training with Team Domination (Brooklyn's family) and his next big win will not only be important to him but also the survival of Team Dominations gym. There is no way he will give up his dream this time.

Shane and Brooklyn both want to protect their dreams but are also falling hard for each other. So what will it be? His dream or hers?

I was very pleasantly surprised by this book. It is my second book by this author and while I normally try to keep away from MMA books, I liked this one. Both Brooklyn and Shane are sympathetic and there is no OTT drama. Shane is immediately drawn to Brooklyn and there is no other woman-drama. Plus Shane is such a sweetheart...

I look forward to the next book about brother Liam and his BFF Chelsea!

Can someone just wrap me in a bubble of Shane Knox please?. Man .. my life would complete.

Shane a fast famous extremely talented MMA fighter was set to hit records of success only to crash faster that he flew to fame. Unfortunately for him the business doesn't care about personal struggles. When he was ready again for a chance of success it became more of a fight to find someone willing to back his ability to win. What he didn't count on was Brooklyn, the daughter of team Domination's owner and the sister of his two trainers. This is were things become a little tricky.

Ohh lord have mercy I devoured this book. I love me a good MMA romance with all that hot manly alpha testosterone flying around.. amongst other things(I.e - abs, muscles.... more abs and did I mention abs?). All joking (not joking) aside. I love the pace of the story, whilst there is an instant attraction this author manages to build up romance slowly favouring the characters connection firsthand. You get to see them bicker and banter, learn eachother by pushing buttons and flirt their asses off whilst resisting the temptation of some inevitable smoking hot horizontal tango. I love that they built a friendship of sorts first because while they weren't yet completely consumed by eachother I had a chance to connect to each character individually learning about them firstly making me completely invested in them as a couple. The story itself is set at a great pace with a little of everything. You get that build up we long for but you also get snippets of side characters that re fresh the story giving you a little hope at the possibilities of their futures. With a lot of build up, humour bickering and banter. A little angst and suspense and some real emotional moments that had my eyes leaking a tear or two it's safe to say the author missed nothing out while managing to also not over do it with useless fillers and unnecessary drama.

Shane Knox is everything an alpha book boyfriend should. Cheeky, confident, bossy and at times overbearing yet sweet and attentive to the people whom he loves. He worked his ass of to get to the top and gave it up without thought to care for his poorly mother. He has no regrets for the sacrifices he's made but is willing to grind his ass for the chance to prove himself again. He's hilarious, cocky and a total shithead at times but you can't help love his cheeky nature and his fight for the things he wants. There wasn't one thing I disliked about him whatsoever.

Brooklyn is a force to be reckoned with. She finally found something for herself and is accepting that her father will never be there to support her dream when suddenly she's emotionally bribed back home to help her family save the very gym that's became a place of disappointment to her. My heart went out to the girl that just wanted her fathers support. I felt for her because no matter how she put it she seemed to be in the wrong and whilst she held grudges they were definitely deserved. she's a funny, sweet, fiesty take no bull heroine who held her own strong in a male dominated world and that made me love her all the more. Loyal to a fault she was willing to give up her dream for those she loves again and I'm so glad she finally got her happy ending.

Together the chemistry was off the charts. The connection real and believable, I rooted for them the whole dame book. Everything about this story ticked all my boxes and I can't gush enough about how much I enjoyed it. This is my first book from this author but I can assure you it will not be my last.

I cannot wait for what's to come with Liam and Chelsea's story. I've got a feeling It's going to be an emotional rollercoaster.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions in this review are my own.
