In the blink of an eye, Willow Bernard goes from stocking shelves at the Piggly Wiggly to kicking butt at Viking MMA.
Willow Bernard has taken a lot of hits in her twenty-two years but always manages to come back swinging. Hoping to fly under the radar for a change, she relocates to Green Valley. Her strategy works until one fateful phone call initiates a series of events that shakes up her quiet existence.
Tattooed adventure-seeker Ozzi Erickson goes where the wind takes him. When he blows into Green Valley for his big brother’s wedding—and to figure out his next move—he isn’t prepared for the knock-out punch coming his way.
With Ozzi sticking around the Tennessee mountain town, his brother gives him a temporary assignment as Willow Bernard’s trainer.
His job is to teach her how to fight. But will she have the skills required to protect her heart?
‘Knock Out’ is a full-length contemporary romance and can be read as a standalone. Book #4 in the Fighting for Love series, Green Valley Chronicles, Penny Reid Book Universe.
Cassie’s Review
If you love found family sports romance, I would definitely recommend this book!
Hands down, I love that Willow (the heroine), becomes an MMA fighter. In a lot of sport romances we only have the hero in the sport. It’s so refreshing to see the heroine having that opportunity! And Willow is absolutely amazing. The confidence and growth she has in this book is top notch.
Willow’s back story definitely tugged at my heart, her new relationship with Hazel was like a hug. Ozzie did a great job of being supportive as they navigated their new life together. Ozzie definitely redeemed himself at the end of the book when he went to the person that needed him most first.
Seeing all the Viking MMA brothers again was a perfect way to end this series. But do not fret, Viggo’s story is still coming, but will be part of a separate series. I cannot wait!
