An absolute rollercoaster ride of emotions and a storyline that draws you in from the very first word. Ember Leigh’s story is a wonderful story of finding what you’ve always been looking for to provide the balance missing from your life.

In this book the fourth in the series. Levi is wanting to make a name for himself, but also wants to be in tabloids, and any other print, or pictures that will get his name and face out there to be seen. He meets Riley who is a photographer and though he is drawn to her she does not what to go out with him. She finally gives in and when she does, she sees a different side of him and also meets his brother.
When he starts getting his photos out in the tabloids it becomes a problem for her because of a past relationship and how she was treated. Now breaking it off he is at a loss and must work at finding a way back to her for his own sanity. Read this wonderful story and find out what happens. I really liked the brothers' character it added to this story. I received this book from Netgalley.com I gave it 4 stars. Follow us at www.1rad-readerreviews.com

Thank you NetGalley for the digital ARC. I am a big fan of Ember Leigh. This was part of a series and I must say it was my favorite. I wish it had gone on a little longer. It was fast paced and as always i loved the characters

This is a sport MMA love romance between Levi and Reily. This is one of my favorites genres to read but reading this book had me left unsatisfied. The plot is ok, predictable. I couldn't relate to the main characters, for me Reily was not enough developed, we know just the basics from her. But Levi is full-on developed and it is like seeing more than one character in one person. I am just glad that the ugly, manwhore money seeker had lost itself in the book and we see in the end kind, caring, loving brother and man.
I volunteered to review an ARC of this book for NetGalley

Thank you netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I was disappointed with this romance novel. The writing was immature and simple. It lacked the sophistication of a truly entrancing romance. Levy and Riley are attracted to each other but both act coy and childish. Poorly written and unoriginal.

Levi is extremely driven and knows exactly what he wants to do to skyrocket his fame. He isn't doing it for selfish reasons either, he has a disabled younger brother, Gage, who relies on him after both of their parents are killed in an accident. Levi isn't going to let anyone or anything stand in his way. Until he meets Riley. A smart, vibrant, sexy photographer who he hires to document his MMA fights as he rises to the top. Riley has been very badly burned by scandal in her past and wants nothing to do with the spotlight. I loved this story. I loved how the author didn't draw out Levi's "bad-boy" attitude and make him do too many unforgivable things. The chemistry between Levi and Riley is HOT! A great story and I look forward to reading more by this author.

Levi is a MMA fighter and is trying his best to get in the spotlight. Back in Chicago, he was always in trouble by getting into fights, being drunk and other wild shenanigans. Riley is a photographer and hates the rag magazines. She has decided that she’s through with men until Levi walks in. She is doing some work for her friend’s gym and they’ve just acquired Levi for the new MMA league. Levi has never worked so hard for a woman’s attention until now. He is full of dad jokes and energy. But when he gets involved with a PR man, will he lose Riley for good?
Awesome story with humor and action. Two people who never want to settle down until they meet.

What an amazing read! It has it all, emotionally heartfelt, enjoyable, fun and steamy scenes. An exciting storyline, I read from beginning to end in one sitting. This book is part of a series but can be read as a standalone. I would recommend it.

I wasn't sure if I would like this book. MMA fighting isn't really my thing. I have to say that Ember Leigh totally won me over to the dark side! Riley and Levi were so much fun that I hated for the book to end. The dad jokes, the love for his brother and the way he apologized to Riley, made Levi the perfect book boyfriend!
I read an advanced copy of this book in return for an honest opinion. #Netgalley #BreakingTheHabit

LOVE ...
Cant live with it sometimes but... we can’t live without it EVER.
We all end up loving something at some point in our life. Must people have ended up loving something they didn’t want to or hated at one point it just happens. not always is it a person it could be anything but it happens nevertheless.

Riley is a struggling photographer just trying to stay a float and manage to pay her bills with her career choice. She also has sworn off men. She lives in L.A and had a issue once with the press and being the other woman in their eyes which made her feel like public enemy number uno so yeeeah no more men for her or so she thought....

Levi is trying to make it to the top! He will stop at nothing to be famous he needs to secure his and his brothers future not to mention he LOVES all eyes on him. Seriously if you not looking at him because of his total hotness you will be when he does some ridiculous thing to make sure he captures your attention. He is a MMA Fighter and is gunning to be the title holder in this new leagues. Sad things have happened to Levi and he has tons on his plate. He makes stupid choices but he has an end goal .

Levi and Riley are pretty opposites but sometimes that makes for the best partnerships. They have somethings pop up that are hard to deal with but importantly they do which I love about there relationship. I really liked Riley but on the other hand I really didn’t like Levi at least at first he kinda grew on me... but that’s not going to stop me from saying WHAT THE HELL!!! Why did he have to need all the attention ugh.. kinda a huge turn off he literally embarrassed me to gain someone’s attention that is not sexy man stuff at all buttttt... eventually I got over his ridiculous actions and seen through him as you will too so don’t stop reading to quick :)

2.5 Stars

This is probably just a personal thing. I thought I’d enjoy this book I used to fight and enjoy the nostalgia these books bring about. I also adore the big burly fighters with a heart of gold type stories... unfortunately that mold doesn’t really fit Levi and it left me a little discontent. It’s great he’s taking care of his brother but the rest of him was really selfish.

Disclaimer:I haven’t read any other books in the series

I enjoyed the storyline and thought it was a unique take on the MMA/boxer trope. I would have liked to see more of a development in when the Hero’s feelings changed to something more serious, but all in all a fun, low-angst read.

I've just been loving this series so far and I can't wait to read more!

Breaking the Habit is such a great addition to the series. I was hooked from the start, and couldn't put it down! I really, really loved this book and it was so fast paced and well written. This has got to be my favourite book in the series. I just wish it was a bit longer!

This is the fourth book in this series. Loved Levi and Riley's story. I just can't get enough of this MMA series.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the advance read, I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

This is the forth book in The Breaking Series, and the story of Levi, and Riley. Levi is a MMA fighter, looking to make it big in the industry, but when he meets Riley, and she is completely repelled by all the hype, he starts to have second thought about the fame. Levi isn't gonna give up on Riley, and set his sights on convincing her to give him a chance. Levi, is cocky, and Riley is sweet, and together they have hot chemistry, these characters are well written, and I really enjoyed reading this book. This is a must read!
