L.P. Dover, the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author who brought you the tantalizing Gloves Off series, presents Gloves Off – Next Generation. This brand-new saga of interconnected standalones unites new characters with beloved originals in dark, and sexy stories laced with suspense!
Fame. Money. Status. An infinite number of women standing ringside in hopes of one night with him. These are all the things Carter Reynolds loves about being MMA royalty. As a UFC Heavyweight champion, and the son of the illustrious Matt Reynolds, Carter thinks he has everything he could ever want.
Until he comes face to face with Emma Jameson—the one who got away. The pair are bonded by a secret from their past, one that none in their inner circle can ever know about…
Thanks to her father, Emma is no stranger to the MMA world. UFC Middleweight champion, Ryley Jameson, is known far and wide for his scandalous antics in and out of the ring. His fame put her in the spotlight at a very early age. It even led to her lucrative modeling career and the opportunity for her to travel the world. Now Emma is back with the family of fighters she left behind and quickly discovers a darkness that has wriggled its way into the MMA fold.
Someone demands retribution for the sins of the past, and they’ve chosen to make Emma their first target. Determined to keep her safe, Carter will do whatever it takes to protect her, even if that means putting his life on the line.
As hidden truths are revealed, Carter and Emma find that no one in their circle is safe… and this is only the beginning.

I am a sucker for next gen books. Of course I would grab this one up. I loved the original Gloves Off books and this one brings all those familiar faces back to life again. These are the children of the original characters. All of them are either related or friendly because of who their parents are. Just to add more interest, it seems like th eold foe of the parents generation may have resurfaced.
Emma flees New York for the safety of her family in California when she starts getting threatening messages. She does her best to avoid the one who got away--Carter. But once he knows she is in danger, he is all in. They need to sort out their past in order to move forward together.
The MMA world isn't for everyone. Nicely, Emma grew up in it, so she is well aware of what happens. She trained herself growing up. I liked that it didn't take too much time of "we shouldn't, maybe we could, I need to stay away" conversations before they realize they are meant to be. Neither Carter or Emma has had a long term relationship and it is because they are still thinking about each other.
Fair mount of suspense. Lot's of chemistry and steam between these two. Nice humor and banter among the next gen crew. Looking forward to reading more!
