Tap Out by Michele Mannon
2.0

Review based off a free ARC received from www.netgalley.com

Standard romance with an MMA twist. Sophie and Caden had a bad first impression - she knocked him out with her move camera while filming a TV segment, knocking him out both literally and from the MMA competition he was scheduled to fight in. After this incident Sophie is fired and looking to make a comeback with a documentary about mixed martial arts fighting, and of course Caden is on the tour she hooks up with. After many many trials, will their sparks ignite love?

Fun times, but the story was very bogged down with plot points. The characters need to contend with poverty, near-rape, drugs, lying, etc, and I found myself skimming ahead to the hotter parts. I think a bit of streamlining would have done this story good.

Would make a good eBook addition to a library catalog.
