My name is Lucas “The Ghost” Esparza.
I’m the best MMA fighter in the world that you’ve never heard of, but if I have my way, I’ll be a household name soon enough. My life’s been nothing but hard training, crazy partying, and fast women, and that’s just how I liked it. No man had ever gotten the better of me inside the cage, and no woman had ever been able to slow down my lifestyle outside of it.
And then it all came crashing down.
When I tasted defeat for the first time in the biggest fight of my life, I was a broken man—my pride destroyed and my dreams of greatness deferred.
That’s when Mila walked into my gym.
When my trainer told me I had to giver her self defense lessons because she was a ‘special case’, I had no idea what he meant. All I knew was that she had a body to die for, and a face that made me forget my own name. I’d been with my share of women, but she was easily the sexiest I’d ever laid eyes on.
There was only one problem—we hated each other with a passion!
I thought she was whiny with a bad attitude.. She thought I was full of myself. But then something happened that changed everything between us. She gave me the confidence to pursue my dreams once again—to be a champion, to make it into the UFC, to be the savage gentleman that I was born to be.

This is my first book by this author. I was intrigued by the synopsis. I do like a good MMA book. This is the story of Lucas and Mila. I will admit that Lucas turned me off at first. Very arrogant and seemingly not interested in anything but himself. Keep on reading. He gets better.
Mila and Lucas start off on a bad foot and it takes awhile for Mila to not only trust him, but to see him as a potentially safe risk with her heart. The book follows not only the life of a fighter--training, blood, food, fighting. But it also gives us the life of healing--how does one become whole again after trauma. Both of these characters grow toward wholeness and find love along the way.
I know this is my first book by the author. But if I had an issue with this book it would be that at times I felt like I should have known the secondary characters. I don't know if this is a spin off book?? So whether it was the writing or truly, those characters have their own stories elsewhere, it left me feeling like I was looking in on private joke and not knowing what was meant by it.
I'd be up for reading more about the fighters at this gym. I would love to follow back up with Mila and Lucas as well.
