Olivia Carter fell in love the day she met Spencer Bradley. Despite him being responsible for the downfall of his best friend’s career and landing himself in rehab, she can’t bring herself to stay away—even if it means risking her own recovery.*Note* While this book is a part of the Wayward Fighters series, unDefeated can be read as a standalone.
Review By: Donna
"UNDEFEATED" AWESOME title for this book. I really liked this book. At first, I was thinking Olivia and Spencer should stay far, far away from each other. Olivia and Spencer were both dealing with some major issues with themselves much less another person. Towards the end, Olivia and Spencer show that maybe they can have a healthy, intimate relationship with each other or maybe not. The author not only wrote a good story but you can tell she did her research regarding addictions that can destroy a person's life one way or another.
Review By: Kim
I love this author!!
Spencer and Olivia have history. Alot bad, some good, but you
can't help who your heart chooses to love.
Addiction is a really hard thing. And I can't even begin to imagine
the amount of research this author had to do in order to write this
book.
Spencer has a huge problem with gambling. He gets himself into
rehab, but doesn't really put in the work to make himself better.
He's just marking off the days until he gets out.
Once he hits the streets as a free man, his situation gets real.
Because of his problem; he's burned all his bridges. Even the one
with Olivia.
As I read this book, I thought the only thing Olivia had a problem
with was her feelings for Spencer. After all, how many times was
she going to give him the green light to reject her?
But somethings aren't always what they seem and after she allows
Spencer back into her life. The serious problem-addiction that
Olivia has is brought to light.
I began to think that this book was going to be a train wreck of
heartbreak as Spencer and Olivia began to feed each others need for
their addictions.
But then Spencer grew up and became a man right before my very
eyes. I almost cheered out loud.
Undefeated is a story of two broken souls who try to become whole
as individuals, but find strength enough in each other to really reach
for forever.

From the wrong side of the tracks...
Alyson Blake had learned early on that the only one she could depend on was herself.

Since the day the police dragged him away in handcuffs, she had managed to lead a quiet life, but when she attends an event fraught with mayhem, trouble resurfaces.
The one person she can’t forget...
Jamison Weston is the kind of guy dads load their shotguns for; endowed with a hot temper and a rap sheet as long as both tattooed arms. Known as “The Judge,” Jami’s hot temper, lethal fists, and cocky attitude have earned him respect and admiration both in and out of the ring. But just when he thinks he’s pummeled his past to death, Alyson Blake reenters his life.
Two paths collide…
After years of separation, Alyson is eager to reexplore the man who’s never left her thoughts, but for Jamison, she’s both the distraction he wants, but doesn’t need. As the two embark on a relationship that neither of them expected or bargained for, an outside threat closes in. When Alyson crosses the line of professionalism and takes her work home with her, her life is put in danger, leaving Jamison with no choice but to once again step in and become her protector.TAPOUT (99c!)
