 Perfect for fans of emotionally charged, sexy reads, Dirty Boxing, the first installment in the Blood and Glory series, reveals that the mixed martial arts battles waged inside the octagon are second only to the battles fought in the name of love.

After an unstable childhood, Jules Darcy is very familiar with the risks of falling in love. And as an adult, she’s never let herself forget just how high those stakes can be. That’s why she ran away a year ago after her fling with MMA fighter Nick Giannakis quickly got serious. But when she jumps at the opportunity to reconnect with her dad by accepting a job with his growing fight league, she’s stunned to learn the abs, the chiseled arms, and the rock-solid punches she has to market belong to none other than her former fling. Unable to run away from the sexy middleweight this time, Jules vows to keep things strictly professional. But one look at Nick, and her resolve starts to crumble….

The last thing Nick expects when he signs with the prestigious World Fighting Championship is that he’ll have to work with the only woman who ever broke his heart. Desperate to hide the pain she caused him, Nick vows to keep his distance from his gorgeous ex. But when he realizes their intense chemistry hasn’t faded after a year apart, he wonders if they could have a future together, even if dating the boss’s daughter could complicate his bid for the championship belt.

Under the bright lights of Las Vegas, in the world of high-stakes prize fighting, they’ll have to take a risk and decide if their love is worth fighting for.
 

Jules and Nick had somewhat of a fling, turns out the only person that was clear to was her. Nick was looking for something more but she walked away. Suddenly it seems shes back in his life when he signs up for a famous MMA championship and Jules works at the place he is training at. Old feelings rise the more they are around each other but there is a conflict of interest being that she is working at the same place Nick is training at and there is a policy against such things.

As much as this book was predictable it was enjoyable as well. I will admit I saw that a few people put this book on their goodreads did not finish list and I'm baffled why. This book was pretty good, its been done before but its not bad. I liked the characters enough Jules isn't exactly get the most stable parents but shes an adult now and trying to build some kind of relationship with her father now. I think her views on the reasoning why she wont get into a relationship were kinda bleh it seems dramatic to me. I liked getting to know Nicks family and seeing how close they were and how protective Nick's brother was his heart was in the right place when he was iffy when he found out that Jules was back in Nicks life. Overall this book was pretty good I really enjoyed it.
