Well my friends this was GREAT! I was instantly hooked, started off right with some hotness, then the story developed and grew. I enjoyed every page and could easily wish for a couple hundred more pages of El, Rigo and Diego. This author has a fantastic hand for writing ménage, I would anxiously read another mfm book from her. I loved the dynamics of the characters and the story flow and the steaminess was fantastic.

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.

This book is very steamy! The chemistry between Ella and twin brothers Rigo and Diego is sizzling. The author did a great job creating a story with great sex scenes as well as some family drama.

Fight twice for me is the story of Ella, who has decided to leave the world of MMA fighting behind, except when she meets not one, but two hot men who are into her but also part of the scene, she finds that hard to do.
Diego and Rigo are identical twins and they have decided that they want to have a relationship with one woman, sharing her, rather than having a partner of their own dragging them away from one another. The story itself is ok and on the whole, I enjoyed it. Ella did quite a lot of not wanting to get involved, then getting very physical with them before heading fo the hills again. I could understand why she was reluctant to get involved with them, but she also seemed to change her mind pretty quickly each time. I think that I would have liked to see a bit more of their relationship that wasn't just sex. I also found the characters a little bit immature. I'm not sure exactly how old Ella was supposed to be, but judging by the fact that she has had at least one serious relationship previously, she's an adult. Why someone of that age would consider or refer to her mother's new husband's sons as stepbrothers I really don't know. It didn't really ring true to me.
This was an enjoyable read. It just didn't quite hit the can't put down because I'm really invested in the characters and story that some books seem to reach. That might have just been me though. Overall, it was good and I'd certainly read more by the same author.

I voluntarily read an advanced review copy of this book

I really liked this book because of the heat...romance and the small hints of drama. Ella supporting her friend during her MMA fight and meets Rigo and his twin brother Diego De La Cruz.

What should have been one night of fun quickly turns crazy once she realizes just who Rigo and Diego are the next day.

This book was funny shocking and realistic in some ways. In the romance world this type of relationship always comes off as an easy situation but I love that C.C. Wylde brought some very real emotions into this fictional romance. This is the first book that I have read by this Wylde but I will definitely be on the look out for more.

Complicated relationships don't even begin to touch this story. After a super HOT night all together they find out they are now related. And with outside forces trying to keep them apart, the Delacruz brothers fight not only in the ring but outside to keep the woman they love.

Ella does not really trust anyone, especially after her father left. She lives with her mom and while going to college works hard to make ends meet. Her life changes as she meets Rigo and Diago and has a wondrous night of passion. Thinking of is a one night stand she meets with her mom the next day to find out her mom has married. The shock of the marriage is overwhelming, but no as much as finding out that Rigo and Diago are her stepbrothers! Wow, wow, wow! What should she do? Where does she go from here? Read this exciting novel to find out! I loved it and read it in one day! Believe me, you will enjoy it!

Goodness, this was hot. I'm not usually a fan of stepbrother stories but I thought I'd try this out since it seemed like they didn't know each other growing up, which kind of takes out the ick factor. But honestly, hotness factor aside, I had misgivings about Ella. Overall, a hot, quick read.

Hot, hot, hot! But there's lot more here than just heat; an amazing debut

This was an impulse read on my part; I haven't been overly impressed with most of the stepbrother stories I've read before so it's a trope I've tended to avoid, but the MMA and menege angles here intrigued me. With a brand new author (it looks like this is a debut work), I had no idea what to expect, and boy, was I blown away.

This book is from the Scorched imprint of Entangled Publishing, and, WOW, is that appropriate! Hot, hot, hot! But in spite of all that chemistry between Ella, Rigo and Diego, there's a lot more here than just heat--something I find particularly impressive given the relatively short length of the book. For one, I loved the spin the author put on the stepbrother angle. Plus the author did a great job of evoking the emotions that Ella was feeling in me, and I was really pulling for her to get over her issues and accept what Rigo and Diego were offering.

I did feel like the ending was a little rushed; there was a lot of summing up and compression of time in the epilogue. I'd guess that was to keep the story length down, but so much happened there that I would have liked to have seen a little more detail on, rather than being told what happened. Relatively minor in the scheme of things, though.

With an interesting setup, great characters, a plot with some twists, nicely handled pacing, and fan-yourself heat levels, this story had everything (including a few lol lines). A highly engaging one-sitting read for me, and an amazing debut. This is an author I look forward to reading more from in the future. 4.5 stars

A decent story, although I've never been a fan of siblings being involved in a menage. This story is plenty hot, and surprisingly there are a couple of plot twists thrown in to mix the story up. I hope to see Daisy get her own story at some point.

Just as promised, this was an unconventional romance that is fun enough to read. I'm not a giant fan of fighting or fighting leagues and gyms, but the romance between a complicated threesome got me through. The relationship is pretty enjoyable, and the complication of the three of them suddenly becoming step-siblings while juggling a relationship at the same time was just fun. A good read for those who like romance to be a bit unconventional.

The De la Cruz twins want a woman to share. Ella Price don't want another relationship until she meets the Twins. Sexy, hot latinos. Strong women and crazy funny friend.

Overall, Fight Twice for Me is a steamy read following a woman and the two men who prove to her not all men are dogs. They treat her so well, in fact, that, at first, she is disbelief. What initially comes off as just a typical run of the mill menage involving fighters actually turns out to be more complex once the reader dives in. Whether it be the main characters themselves, their family, or their friends, the novel is filled with drama from all sides. It also tackles issues a menage would experience beyond the bedroom.

Fight Twice for Me is an interesting novel meant for those who want a plot with their erotica. Definitely a recommendation for those look for good menage romances.

I loved how C.C. Wylde pushes the boundaries of sexy and seductive in Fight Twice for Me. MMA is part of Ella's essence, but she's ready to leave it all behind, even though the attractive De la Cruz brothers pose as a temptation to stay. Things get a touch bit complicated when they realize their parents have married and they're now step siblings. Ella fights her attraction to the twins and the unconventional relationship they want and her desire to leave the MMA world behind, and not follow in her father's footsteps. The struggle to decide the best course of action for herself is intense and C.C. Wylde gets that across very strongly.

The biggest problem I had with the story was Ella's best friend, Daisy. She had some inappropriate meltdowns that shifted the focus of the story on to herself instead of Ella, who has a conflict we actually know about and want to see resolved. It was strange to see a character in that position so opposed to supporting the main character, but in a round about way Daisy pushed Ella into facing hard truths and summing up courage to deal with her life.

Fight Twice for Me gives readers a steamy story with a complex situation between three characters and their families. It's definitely a story that makes you think and wonder how it's going to play out. C.C. Wylde dishes out a plot full of strong emotion and drama that will pull you in and keep you glued to the pages. I definitely recommend for readers looking for something different and unique.

HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT

Loved that this book wasn't just about a threesome in the bedroom, but instead also brought into play real issues that any threesome would face. The added obstacle of course was that their parents married each other and that the three were now actually step siblings living together.

My only complaint is that she constantly referred to them as "the twins." Rather than thinking of them as two separate men, she always seemed to think of them as one. This bugged me because even though they were identical twins, they were still separate people.

Hot Latino twins. Hell, yeah, sign me up!
Rigo and Diego know how to handle a woman and you can't help but want to be Ella when the two of them are around.

This book was hot. I kept expecting someone to be caught or an ex rear their head. While those things happened it happened in the way not planned. I’d love to see more of this story
