The Fighter (An Underground Bad Boys Romance, #3)The Fighter by India Kells
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Desperate for money, Ten decides to try to win some quick cash in an underground fighting circuit, much to the dismay of his best friend and roommate, Juliet. But, when Ten realizes he’s out of his depth against a ruthless opponent, Jonathan Gage steps in to give him some advice that wins him the fight, but brings on a new set of problems. The win ends up coming too little, too late, anyway, as the roommates arrive home to find they’ve already been evicted from their apartment.

Gage, who now feels responsible for his advice bringing the pair into danger, offers up his home as a place to stay until they can get the whole mess sorted out. Sexual tension mounts among the three, with Ten and Juliet obviously interested in one another, but too timid to ruin their friendship; the pair seem to also have an interest in Gage, which is also reciprocated. Lots of steamy scenes happen between Gage and Juliet, Gage and Ten, and finally Ten and Juliet, culminating with all three having a shared experience.

In the meantime, Gage is coaching Ten for a fight that may be a set-up, and Juliet is struggling with her internal feelings for both men and trying to decide what she actually wants. With all of their safety being in jeopardy, Gage reaches out to his old friends to help keep his new friends safe while he works out a plan to hopefully keep them all out of trouble for good.

This is the first book of the series I’ve read, and it works perfectly fine as a standalone, but you can tell there’s more of a backstory to Gage and his old friends that would be revealed by reading the earlier books. Overall, I found the book to be a great mix of tension, build-up, and sizzle, with a sprinkling of danger and mystery.
