Blurb


Two men.

Harbor "the Viking" Rourke is known for being a badass inside and outside the cage. His life revolves around working to win the MMA Middleweight championship title, riding his Harley, and making his family proud. He doesn't have time for relationships until one anonymous hook-up has him questioning his choices and making the list of things he cares about a whole lot longer.

One shot at a championship title.

Life hasn’t been easy on Theo Smith. He's used to standing on his own two feet and jumping without a safety net. The crowning achievement of his self-built fitness and MMA empire would be wrapping the MMA Middleweight title belt around his waist. When a shot at the championship falls in his lap, he's thrilled, but shocked to find that for the first time there might be something in his life more important than getting ahead.

For either man to claim the title, they’ll have to take down the one that’s already won their heart.



REVIEW
My Rating - 4 Stars!

Take Down is the second book in the Open Wounds series by Michelle Frost.

It's an entertaining and fun romance between two MMA fighters, Habor and Theo. They had a hot hook-up back when they both didn't know who the other was. It was Harbor's first time with a man, despite knowing he's bisexual, and he definitely enjoyed it.

When they meet up again, the chemistry is still strong, and soon they end up dating and planning for a future together. They didn't plan on having to fight each other though. I found the sparring scene to be beautiful, as it was so darn emotional!

Theo and Harbor are very sweet together, offering each other tenderness, caring and love that they've never had before. Their love is strong and all-consuming, leaving the reader swooning. The trust they have in each other is wonderful.

The story contains an emotional and intense romance, between two powerful and strong men. The writing flows great, the character development is well done and the side characters are great. 

I definitely recommend Take Down and look forward to seeing what Michelle Frost comes up with next for this series.
