See all formats and editions

**A Fighter's Desire is an introductory prequel novella to the Gloves Off series by New York Times and USA TODAY Bestselling author, L.P. DOVER.**

Two is always better than one.
What would you do if you were given the chance to spend the night with not one, but two fighters? Would you do it? Could you open yourself up to the pleasures they offered and do exactly what they said in order to pass on to the next round?

It was common knowledge that Ryley and Camden Jameson, well-known MMA fighters and identical twins, were just as aggressive and passionate in the bed as they were in the ring. The only problem was that if you didn’t pass their test on the first night, then you didn’t proceed to the next round. They loved a good fight, and that's what they got when they met Ashleigh Warren.

Ashleigh knew what was going to happen when the twins approached her with a proposition, and needless to say, she knew exactly how to handle them … or so she thought. The rules had changed, and in order to get them both she had to first spend one night with each and last until they were done with her. It was a proposition she couldn’t refuse, but she knew it wouldn’t be easy to win. However, it was one that she was going to enjoy.

I loved it :)

I have to confess that that's the first book I read by L.P. Dover but I loved it. I just couldn't put my Kindle down :)

The story is intriguing and fun and definitely HOT. I loved the Twins of Terror but I think my favorite is Ryley. There is just something about him that makes me melt ;) He also has a softer lighthearted side which unfortunately I couldn't see in Camden.

Ashleigh is definitely a fire-cracker and I loved that she didn't make it easy for the twins and they actually had to work for her attention. The result was definitely some fun and extremely hot situations :) I definitely admired her guts to go against Camden.

I enjoyed the interaction between Ashleigh and Ryley and and loved reading how they build their relationship. Gabby was also a really nice addition and I loved her take no prisoners attitude :D I can't wait to read more about her ;)

The ending was definitely heartbreaking and I can't wait to see what will happen with all the characters. Each one of them deserves their HEA but I think I have a sofe spot for Ryley and Ashleigh.

This is definitely a series to look out for, especially if you are a lover of sizzling hot alpha males :)

A few issues, but enjoyable overall

Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2016

This was an enjoyable novella. Though it, and the entire series really, is based around the commonly used “bad boy turned good” and “insta-love” themes, I still enjoyed reading them.

Ryley and Camden are twins who are both well-known UFC fighters. Strong, sexy, and desirable, it’s no wonder women flock to them. Nor do they have a desire to turn any of those women away. That is, until they meet Ashleigh. She’s not willing to put up with their crap, which does nothing but intrigue them more.

When she agrees to a few dates with the twins, both one on one and one with both of them, and possibly in their bed too, the first date with Camden goes bad rather quickly.

Ryley, wanting to prove he’s not a complete a-hole like his brother, gets Ashleigh to continue on her promised date with him. They both realize that their feelings are more involved than they ever planned them to be. But when Ashleigh’s friend confesses his love for her, will she choose him or Ryley?

The story as a whole was enjoyable. As stated before, nothing necessarily original, but at the same time the whole bad boy routine is a staple in the romance genre for a reason: people never tire of it. As most people will know, I do despise the insta-love thing, and I didn’t really see a reason for it in this novella considering they will have an entire book to themselves anyways (book 2 in the series), but that’s just my opinion.

The two biggest quirks I have with this story is, 1. Camden’s extremely sudden change from charming, arrogant guy (which is expected) to complete a-hole jerk. It was such an extreme change in character that took place in only a couple of sentences, very bipolar-ish. Which would be okay if that’s what the author was trying to make the character, but she wasn’t…it was just too much, too fast, and too obvious that it was only done to drastically push the story in the direction she intended. Talk about whiplash. The other thing, which persists throughout the series, is the authors apparent misunderstanding of the difference between “your” and “you’re”. It happened quite a lot. Editors are advised.

Overall, it was a likeable story. If you like rough, sexy, alpha fighters and the women who love them, you’ll probably enjoy this book/series.

Review from Abibliophobia Anonymous Book Reviews

This is the first book by L.P. Dover that I have read. This series has been on my to be read list for awhile now, so I jumped at the chance to participate in the blog tour for the series. I'm so happy that I did. I wish I would have read them sooner though. This did bring me out of my book slump that I've been in.

This story gives us a glimpse of Ryley and Camden Jameson, 'The Twins of Terror'. They are hot UFC fighters, and both are complete alphas. Oh and they are twins. They are complete manwhores though.

Well, they are until Ashleigh comes along and agrees to one night with each of them.

Camden is a complete douche bag, but you can tell he's just protecting himself. I have a feeling there is way more to him than what we've seen so far.

Ryley, wow, yea I expected him to be more like Camden. He is, don't get me wrong, but he's different with Ashleigh. And with Megan. He's a great guy beneath his whoreish ways.

Ashleigh is freaking great. I loved what she did to Camden! That took some balls. I am curiou about her after the ending though.

"This weekend I'm yours and I'm not going anywhere. You yourself said that you live in the now. Well, for the first time in my life I'll do the same. In this moment, you belong to me and I belong to you. It's only us...even if it is for one night."

Súper hot

Riley y Camden son dos MMA luchadores que sólo tienen 2 cosas en mente: luchar y mujeres. Ambos tienen la costumbre de compartirlas hasta que conocen a Asleigh. Ella hará que por primera vez quieran probar algo distinto, así que le proponen que pase una noche con cada uno de ellos, y si ella está satisfecha pasar una tercera noche con ambos. Ella tiene curiosidad por saber cómo será estar con estos 2 hombres a la vez, pero no sale como ella pensaba. También ella resulta ser una sorpresa para los gemelos, especialmente para uno de ellos.
Prepárate porque estos hermanos te subirán la temperatura.

A Fighter's Desire Part 1

Reviewed in Australia on October 22, 2023

This started as an interesting read and I had no idea where it was going to go. Two brothers who fight in the UFC who like to share girls but only once. When they're introduced to Ash she turns them down but they don't give up on her. Camden turns out to be a bit of a prick and it's Ryley that shows her his true side. At the end Ash must choose Ryley or her best friend she has been secretly in love with. This ends on a cliffy so I can't wait to read part two.

This is my first book by L.P. &I really enjoyed it. L.P. Has a new clear voice with great character development. It is done in first person each chapter voiced by one of the leads, I don't love that format as it chops a story up & can end up as both leads sounding the same, L.P. Does a good job of separating them.
This novella & the next are termed intros to the characters & story lines both interesting & unheard of as she tells reader the characters will get their HEA in the full novels that follow, YES I really like the set ups; they are so well done & refreshingly new idea...LOVE IT.
I am very happy with this new series & author to Me, both well worth your precious time.
I was very pleased to have discovered L.P. Dover's offerings & I'm sure others who love strong well defined characters & story lines will love these as well. Well done L.P.
