Synopsis

D.M. Davis’ Rowdy is a messy, meant-for-me, sexy, contemporary romance and book two in the Black Ops MMA series.

ROWDY:
You think this is a love story. You’re wrong. It’s a massacre.

A massacre of who I think I am,
where I come from,
and who I thought I’d have a future with.

One wouldn’t have me.
The other couldn’t.
Both stole my heart.

You think you know me. You have no idea.

REESE:
He thinks I’m a lion.
I’m really a mouse,
afraid of the demons nipping at my heels.

No one can touch me.
No one except him.
I don’t fear his touch.
I crave it.

Darkness is my enemy,
yet his shadow doesn’t scare me.

He’s the only dark I’m not afraid of.

When their pasts threaten to topple their future, can the lion and her beast prevail or will the darkness overtake them?

For maximum enjoyment, it is suggested the Black Ops MMA series be read in order to fully experience the world and the characters that inhabit it.

Review

This book was provided by the author through Give Me Books Promotions in exchange for an honest review. Thank you D.M. Davis and GMBP!

Rowdy is the second book in the Black Ops MMA series and tells the story of Reese and Rowdy.

I fell in love with Rowdy in No Mercy, the first book in the Black Ops MMA series, and I was so excited to read his story. I think that Rowdy is a bit of a heavier read because it talks about PTSD and about child abuse/assault. I wish there was a trigger warning somewhere in the book because I know some people can get triggered by reading about this. But besides that, I really enjoyed and loved this book.

Rowdy is such a cute alphahole, and I cannot get enough of him. I loved how caring he was and how he tried to make Reese feel better. I think that Reese is such a strong character. She’s been through a lot, and she is still trying. She suffers from PTSD and I loved how Rowdy dealt with it and how he tried to help her. They’re a match made in heaven!

Rowdy was such a good MMA Romance read and I loved every bit of it. I really enjoyed reading this book and I even finished it in one day. I really liked the story and the (side) characters. I really love the world D.M. Davis has created and I cannot wait to read the next book in the series, Captain. I’m so excited! I highly recommend this series if you’re a fan of MMA Romance.
