In Tough Love, the third book in the Ultimate series we have Stack’s story. Both Stack and Vanity have powerful chemistry to each other but haven’t acted out on it until Vanity takes control . Vanity has always been fond of Stack and wants more with him. She cares deeply for Stack, but she knows how afraid he is of commitment. So she wants to slowly ease him into a relationship because she knows what they have is explosive and worth the wait. So at first, we see the physical relationship between them grow. But there is drama with Stack’s family, his mother getting sick and his sister and her husband having troubles. Stack hates his brother in law, cheats on his wife and is a drug dealer and refuses to get a job. In Tough Love we see how Vanity cares about Stack…willing to do whatever it takes to get to know his family and do what needs to be done. Vanity lost all of her family, and even though they left her a inheritance that she would never have to worry about financial worries….she craves family and the bond that Stack has with his mother and sister. But there is some danger that will test Stack and Vanity.

WOWZERS!!! That is all I can say about Tough Love. I couldn’t get enough of this book and I loved these two together and also seeing more of the MMA crew. This group is hilarious, rambunctious, fights for each other and always has each other’s backs. And they included the women and I loved the way that they treat Vanity. They welcome her into their group easily and right away. I had so much fun seeing this story unravel and I loved the mystery and suspense element. I even got a kick out of the drama that gets revealed with Stack’s family. I loved his mother…she was so sweet. And his sister was very interesting and added a unique element to the story. But their bantering was hilarioius….typical siblings!! :) The romance is explosive and dramatic. It was so fun seeing them work through their issues and the misunderstandings that occur. Overall a quick and engaging story!! STIMULATING!
