L.P. Dover, the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author who brought you the tantalizing Gloves Off series, presents Gloves Off – Next Generation. This brand-new saga of interconnected standalones unites new characters with beloved originals in dark and sexy stories laced with suspense!

Two months ago, everything changed. The enemy no longer feels the need to sulk in the shadows. Instead, he hides in plain sight and prepares his attack… against Reagan Jameson.

Reagan knew this day would come. She proudly holds the featherweight title and is known as one of the sexiest female fighters in MMA history. She can handle her own, and that’s exactly what she plans to do with Nikolai. Unfortunately, things aren’t as they were before. When given an offer she can’t refuse, Reagan is well aware nothing good will come of it.

They promised her power, prestige, and money… a world full of intrigue and dangerous desires. Not being able to resist the allure, she gives in and becomes a pawn in their game. She’s able to fool those closest to her into believing everything is okay… except for Braden Emerson.

Braden’s reputation as one of the toughest fighters in the circuit hasn’t gone unnoticed. In fact, it’s his skills that get him lured into the pit of danger. While he vows to keep Reagan safe no matter the cost, his desire for her is used against him. As passion ignites between the pair, they must work together if they hope to survive.

Fighting for a title is one thing, but nothing beats the stakes of fighting for love. This is one TKO that could cost them everything.

We loved Braden and Reagan's story, it was full of a ton of suspense from the moment you started turning the pages. We loved the characters, they were amazing, even the bad and deceptive ones. Reagan was one tough cookie, loved her from the moment we met her. She was feisty, can kick a**.Also compassionate and kind and sassy and has a big heart, and she was genuine, loved that about her. Braden was sexy and kind and protective of Reagan and so in love with her his heart ached. Reagan was always the woman he wanted, he just had to figure out how to make her his. Loved that this couple had a lot in common, and were perfect for one another, their chemistry off the charts. Loved Reagan and Braden as a couple, and that they finally were willing to give the connection they had for one another a chance to get it right this time around. With every courtship there are ups and downs but, with their courtship, they are playing a very dangerous game. This couple were smoking hot together, and we loved their interactions with one another. Loved this continuing series that grew more intense this time around, some whopping surprises and so many betrayals. One thing with this story and the continuing plot, it is ever-changing, and we love that. The children to pay for the sins of their parents and friends, protecting their family and loved ones. I have to say, we were glued to that pages the entire time. The love that this couple have for one another is astounding, you feel it between them, and it's overwhelming it makes your heart happy that they have found their true soulmate in one another. From the moment we met this couple, we were rooting for their love and lives and their happiness. We loved that each character we're willing to give their lives to save the other. So many players in this story and so many sinners, and it's a lucky break that one of those sinners has this couple's back. A fantastic read!
