The third book in the Predator series does not disappoint. I have NOT read the first 2 books but this book is Scott and Beth’s story. Beth’s past has not been easy by any means, and Scott is just waiting patiently on her to open up to him about all that she has gone through and had to deal with. While training her as a boxer, Scott develops deep deep feelings for her and just hopes that she will open up and give him a chance.

I am a huge fan of Brooke May’s books, especially The Predator series. I was so happy that this book is all about Noah’s story and that we get to know his character on a deeper level. This story starts immediately with a tragedy, which had me in tears from the first page. After reading the Prologue and learning of the tragic occurrence that befell Noah, you get to read all about our new characters including a widower, Bijou, and her daughter Claire, who run a community center in their small town in Georgia. After the tragedy Noah experienced, he moved his family to this small town in Georgia, where he went to heal. What a beautiful story that unfolds as Noah and Bijou meet and work together to improve the quality of the community center. I was so excited when some special characters made an appearance from the past Predator series, no spoilers on who, but know that the storylines do continue with some little hints as the storyline goes along following Noah’s new life. Happy reading as you continue this newest installment of The Predator series. @Brandy Rymer 08/2024

After reading books 1-3 in this series I was excited to start the fourth. Back in the Ring was a well written, easy flowing, spicy, fitting addition to The Predator series. Bijou and Noah are both single parents who after losing their significant others have continued on raising their little ones, but when they meet each other will it all work out for good, or not? I enjoyed reading their story very much.

This author is one that I never pass up because they write marvelous and engaging stories! This is the third book in The Predator series, and it has been absolutely incredible so far. I highly recommend reading the first two books in the series before jumping right into this one. There is plenty of background you’ll want to learn about to truly experience this one. Not to mention that you’ll be extremely addicted after the first few pages. Just like the previous two, I couldn’t find it in myself to stop reading for even a moment which may have led me to walking straight into a wall at one point. Other than the bruise from that, I have zero bad things to say about this book! It may be a quick read, but I promise the author does an amazing job providing all the details of a much longer read. The spicy chemistry is magnificent, and I fell in love with the characters all over again. If you’re looking for an unforgettable contemporary romance to get lost in for the day, look no further!

“Back in the Ring” by Brooke May is the fourth installment in The Predator Series, but it stands well on its own. The story follows Bijou Augustine, a young widow struggling to keep her late husband’s dream alive while raising her daughter in a small Georgia town. The arrival of Noah, a mysterious mountain man with his past traumas, brings new challenges and unexpected hope into Bijou’s life.
May’s writing is engaging, and she skillfully balances themes of grief, resilience, and new beginnings. The characters are well-developed, making it easy to connect with their journeys. This book is a heartfelt exploration of healing and finding strength in adversity.

Back in the Ring (The Predator Series Book 4) By Brooke May
Another great instalment to the Predator series. From the minute I picked this book up, I couldn’t put it down until the book was finished. This has been a great journey throughout this series and one that I would recommend to read.

Back in the Ring is Book 4 in The Predator Series and I am enjoying this series. I recommend reading this series from the beginning as you get to know the characters in each book. I knew I would devour this story of Noah and Bijou right from the beginning prologue. This story gave me raw emotion of loss, secrets and grief but also a second chance for two people who deserved nothing but the best in each other.
Noah is looking to move forward in his life, finding a small town to start over looking for purpose. Finding that purpose that includes Bijou and her youth center may be the right start. All Bijou needs is a sign to continue keeping the center open….that sign is Noah. Can these two hearts find a way to listen to each other and heal……
This is a fantastic story that I could not put down. I really loved Noah and Bijou’s story.

This is the 3rd book in the Predator series. This is another contemporary romance which is hard hitting, sizzling with chemistry, humour and banter between our main characters, secrets and traumas from the past that rise it’s head. Where as the first 2 books in the series deal with KC and Chamberlain’s relationship this story focuses on Beth and Scott.
The attraction and chemistry between Beth and Scott is electric but it is hidden behind anger and smart ass comments. Scott knows that Beth wants him but she just won’t admit it. However Scott is determined to prove to her how perfect they are together. But there are things about Beth’s past that Scott doesn’t know. Things that have affect her as a person and that still pose a risk even though neither of them realise it.
Beth had a rough childhood. After her mother abandoned her and left her with her abusive father. Beth grew up not trusting me and keeping herself closed off from everyone. When she finally gets the chance to escape her father she does just that. After changing her name and moving on with her life she thinks things are going good, until her past catches up to her. After telling Scott all about her past and the horrors that happened to her will he still want her knowing she is so damaged? And what happens when Beth finds herself back in danger, will she be able to save herself once again?
This is a really good read. My heart broke for Beth for all that she went through and for the effect it still has on her life. I loved how Scott was determined to give her time to realise that he was always going to stand by her and not hurt her. It was nice to read and get to know these characters a bit more in this story.

This is the fourth book in the series. I really absolutely love this series. There is a lot of sadness at the start and part because of some losses that the characters have. Bijou is a manager/owner of a REC center that is falling apart. Normal wear and tear of the building, her daughter Claire (like most preteens) wants a cell phone. However, Bijou can’t really afford to get her one. So she suggests looking for a job to help pay for one. In the process of doing so, Bijou gets a phone call from Noah (a former boxer) who lost his wife in a horrible accident and is now raising his son Holder by himself. He left the world that he and his wife had to get away from all the speculations of his life. Can he find a new life with Holder in this small town? Read to find out, because I am not going to tell you. Back in the Ring by Brooke May My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An amazing beautifully story of two people who have experienced loss that get a chance at second love. Oh, this story made me cry several times. It’s got beautiful characters, and it’s written with such compassion and heartwarming love. You can read as a standalone but it is part a series and I would high recommend reading in order. I was a large fan of the chemistry between these two. I really enjoyed watching this relationship develop and them working out their issues. Auntie Mara was a hoot. She brought light to the story. A true story of redemption that is meant to be read. I absolutely loved it.

GOODREADS – Back in the Ring (The Predator Series) by Brooke May
BOOKBUB – Back in the Ring (The Predator Series) by Brooke May
Tragedy, it can strike anyone.
Healing after it can take weeks, months, years, or even decades.
Bijou Augustine has struggled.
Being a young widow, raising her daughter alone, and now her biggest challenge of keeping her late husband’s dream going, Bijou feels like she is slowly losing grip on her life.
Living in a small town in Georgia doesn’t make for a great economy. Having a youth center is necessary but not worth donating money toward for services.
Growing despite, Bijou begins making calls to search for donations, but one call changes everything.
Willing to work for nothing, mountain man Noah sweeps in with a glint in his penetrating gaze that captivates Bijou the moment they meet.
She’s awkward and he is clearly still healing from his own pain.
But there is more to it, there has to be with how he is always checking his surroundings. But the thrill of something new clouds Bijou’s thoughts.
Whatever he is hiding may be more than Bijou can handle with her already packed plate.
Brooke May has been a Wyoming girl her entire life, most of it right here in Sheridan where the majority of her family resides. Growing up, she’s always had a wild imagination that came together to publish her first book, a cowboy romance inspired by her home and the rodeos she’s always loved attending.
Now, she continues to write where her imagination takes her with most books inspired by the scenery and beauty that is Sheridan, the Bighorns, and Wyoming. She’s a wife and mother of two and splits her time writing, playing with her kids, and of course, hiking, hunting, fishing, and four-wheeling in her favorite places in the BigHorns.
The sky isn’t the limit for her and all the stories she still has to share. There’s a little bit of everything for any romance reader; cowboys to fighters, bad boys to soldiers, werewolves to romantic comedies, and even a sweet cupid series for younger readers.

Wow!! I was sucked in from the first chapter. I work in social services and really enjoyed that the FMC runs a youth center. She is angry and upset that the center may close due to a lack of financing and meets Noah who is willing to help her out. Both of these mc have a past that they are trying to heal from and can overcome their trauma.

As with the rest of the series, this book is a brilliant novella about two strong and interesting characters. Although this book could be read as a standalone, I definitely wouldn’t recommend it. For me, this is one of those books that would be better for having read the previous two books. I loved the story. It matched the characters so well and I was pulled into it right from the start. This author is one I never fail to enjoy, and it is books like this that show me why. I thoroughly enjoyed reading more of this series I am hope there is more to come.

I love this side story about Beth and Scott, key characters in The Predator series. Beth wants to pursue her dreams of being a female boxer while working to overcome her feelings of inadequacy stemming from her past. Scott is a great manager and could help Beth to soar as he fills in for Beth’s best friend who is out during her pregnancy. The only problem is that Scott is a player, and Beth is the next girl in his sights, claiming to have changed his ways. Will the two be able to their clashing personalities long enough to work together to see Beth reach her goals, or will they fall prey to their attraction for one another?
Brooke May is such a great writer, who takes the time to create dynamic characters as well as placing them in realistic situations that deal with real-world issues. I love that the reader is entertained by the author’s use of witty characters, and we get to laugh, cry, and fight alongside them, cheering for them to overcome all obstacles to achieve their goals. Every book in The Predator series continues the storyline of our characters, allowing the reader to watch as the storyline continues to progress throughout the lives of these amazing characters. If you like reading a romance series with strong women, and men who fight for the love of their lives, then this is the series for you. Happy reading everyone, may you enjoy this knockout book. @Brandy Rymer 08/2024

The Predator Series continues with Wildfire Knockout. This novella is a quick read and oh so good! Beth and Scott finally become friends, but the real question is can they become more. Finding the one can be easy, healing is the hard part.
This author continues to bring us into her world, where the tough, sexy women don’t really need rescuing, but the helpful, sexy men sure don’t hurt. This story was easy to read just like the first two before it and since this is book three in the series, it must be read in order.

This story is about Scott and Beth And its has some emotional parts to it, so be warned lol. Wildfire Knockout is part of Brooke May’s Predator Series, and it continues to build on the tension and drama of its predecessors with its electrifying mix of suspense and intrigue.In this installment, the stakes are higher as the characters face increasingly dangerous challenges. As always this authors writing is engaging, capturing both the suspense and emotional depth of the narrative. This book is likely to keep you hooked and eager the whole time. I can’t wait for the next part in this series. If you haven’t read this or any book by this author then I highly suggest you do.

This was a great 4 star read. It is a novella for the Predator series. I was excited to get Beth and Scott’s story. Beth has a past that she is trying to move forward from. There is something about Scott that calls to Beth and she starts to fall for him. There is something about him that makes her feel safe. I really liked both characters, I had some LOL moments. Overall I enjoyed this read and getting to see more in depth story for these two. It can be read as a stand alone but I do suggest reading from the beginning of the series. I look forward to reading more from this author and series. 1-click and get started today.

Beth Martin doesn’t have faith in herself, her past has shaped her and when she steps in the ring she feels strong. With Scott Franks helping her to achieve her goals and push through the walls she has erected around herself.
Scott had one night with Beth and he wants more, but Beth is holding secrets close and he only sees one way to help her, will it ruin everything they are building instead?
This one had some heartbreaking moments. I felt for Beth, she is a bit of an enigma at first but you begin to understand everything as the story unfolds. I really liked Scott with Beth, he is polar opposite and grapples a bit with not knowing how to not just rely on his charm to get close to Beth. Another wonderful read in the series.

The only bad thing about Wildfire Knockout wa that it was a novella and it ended way too soon. I’m so glad to finally read about Beth and everything she had been through in her life. She will never be alone again because now she has KC, Chamberlain and Scott in her corner supporting her every step of the way.
Beth and Scott grow close as they are on the road together a lot and spend alot of time together but, Beth is a tough nut to crack. Aside from one crazy night together, she keeps her distance or at least tries to. Scott, makes it very hard for her. There is a lot happening in this short novella. When Beth finally seems to Be giving in a little, something traumatic happens which has everyone on edge. Will she be able to move forward now that everything has been laid to rest?
This author is an amazing writer and I can pretty much read any book she writes without even knowing what it’s about.

If I thought the first 2 books were something I couldn’t stop talking about to everyone they better get ready for this round because this just made it to my favourite reads list !!!!
The prologue had me hook line and sinker , before chapter one I was an emotional wreck , chapter calmed me down just a little and by chapter 3 I was a goner !!!! I was a blubbering mess and there was a pile of Kleenex looking like Mount Everest 🤣🙈
Beth really had a rough childhood and I love , respect and admire her for rising from her circumstances she’s the definition of a Phoenix 🥰she’s also brilliant in the ring !
There were moments where I had to hold my breath and check in on my heart rate not just because of my lovebirds but the dark and dangerous elements that posed a threat 🙈
The moment that’ll stay with me for quite some time though is the reconciliation between mother and daughter to say I was an emotional wreck would be sooooooo far off 🤪I was a mess !
Beth , Chamberlain, Scott , Beth , Fiona , Calista and the kids are a very special kind of people and it’s a mish mash family I’d love to be part of

This is book 3 in the Predator series and if you haven’t read the first two books, I highly suggest that you do so you have some background information. Each of the characters for these books are introduced in other books in the series. I tend to enjoy that when reading a series because you get glimpses of what might be coming next or you get to see your favorite characters living their lives. This book is a super quick read not only because it is just a book you don’t want to put down but also because it is a shorter book or seemed that way to me. Before, I go into why this book is amazing please do take note that you don’t have to read the other two books in the series before this one, as it is considered a stand alone. So if you do read this one, first just know that the other books in the series are just as good and you won’t be disappointed when you read them. This book has passion, drama, secrets, character baggage, love, and triumph. There is a past that helped shape one of the characters and they have to figure out if they can overcome that in order to have a fulfilling life of love that they deserve. You will find yourself feeling all the emotions of the characters. You will be rooting for them as they figure things out. You will finish this books feeling at peace with everything that happened and how things ended. The being said I am not going to give anything away. You will find out yourselves when you read this book. I can’t wait for more in this series. They are so good. Reviewed by: @bbohls

If you are following this series you understand that this story is all about Beth and Scott. If you are not following this series, you should first stop, step back and read Predator parts 1 and 2 to figure out who all the characters are. This novella about Scott and Beth is so emotional and filled with growth and laughter and second chances. It is beautiful.
Beth is following her dream of becoming a professional boxer under Chamberlain’s guidance and team. When K.C. gets pregnant, Chamberlain decides to take the season (not something I realized that boxers have) off and stay at home with K.C.. Scott and Beth head out on the road for the season and her fights. Between the bouts and the training and just the close proximity, Beth and Scott start to become frenemies. That eventually leads to them not hating each other and a friendship.
Through this time with Scott, Beth is slowly healing the wounds that needed to be healed on the inside so that she could figure out that she could, in fact, love again. Scott’s patience helps get Beth there. One night Beth opens up about everything, all the horrible-ness of her past and why she has been keeping Scott at arm’s length. Scott tries to help Beth understand that none of it matters. That he can love all the broken pieces of her until she is whole or put back together again.
Some big stuff happens (can’t tell you what, you’ll have to read the book for that). Beth finally tells K.C. all the dark and horrible-ness from her past. K.C. tells her that she loves her and that she is her sister because Beth loved her when K.C. didn’t love herself. It was a tearfilled moment.
Not sure where this series goes next but I am here for it. Love these characters. Not sure about everyone. I still don’t trust that everyone has the best intentions but we will see. Oh….If I hadn’t already said it, read this book. It is really good!

I liked Beth from the very beginning of Katie’s story but getting to know her made me love her and brought out my strong desire to comfort and mother her.
Scott is always there to help Chamberlain and Katie , but he never took the time to live his life. It was all centered around training Chamberlain and traveling to the different fights, but Beth changed everything the moment he saw her.
The back and forth between Scott and Beth was entertaining. They made me laugh more times than I can count but there were also some tears shed.
I have the next book on my Kindle ready to read and I cannot wait to dive in.

Beth and Scott are working the women’s featherweight boxing circuit. Scott fell in love with Beth a year ago but since then, Beth refuses to let him get close again. Beth visits a children’s cancer center and meets Tilly. Returning to the hotel, Scott is shocked to see Beth’s hair is gone. She had her hair cut to make Tilly a wig.
In Denver, Bob enters the locker room while Scott uses the bathroom. Seeing Beth standing frozen and Bob telling her to give him a kiss, Scott rushes to her side, telling Bob to leave immediately, claiming to be her boyfriend. Later that evening, Scott discovers Beth has a hidden secret. She takes a step to confide in Scott, telling him the details as to why she doesn’t trust anyone. Instead of abandoning her, Scott consoles her and declares he will always be there for her. In Dallas, Beth and Scott are closer, though she still isn’t fully committed to Scott. They are spending time in a dance club when someone from the past changes the future of Wildfire’s rise to the championship.
The dive into Scott and Beth’s love/hate relationship was written tastefully. I found the sentimental recollection seen through Scott’s memory of their night in Las Vegas during K.C and Chamberlain’s wedding gave a better idea of how he was willing to abandon his playboy reputation. Beth’s visit to the Children’s Cancer Treatment Center brought tears to my eyes. I would have had the same reaction as Scott when he learned why she shaved her head. The surprise revelations were captivating. Connecting with the emotions of the two characters was effortless and the transitions between each point of view were seamless. The use of italics in Scott’s recollection of the path made it clear what point of time was being reflected. I would recommend this romance novel to mature adults who enjoy seeing both sides of a relationship as it develops.

This book was really all about Beth (K.C.’s best friend) and how she got where she is today. There is a continued love/hate relationship between her and Scott (Chamberlain’s best friend). There are really sad parts throughout the story and I feel for Beth and everything that she has gone through since she was abandoned by her mom. I wouldn’t even now how to feel if that had happened to me. Can you relate to her? Scott is a ladies man and never that a relationship could ever happen but there is just something about Beth that he can’t quite get and he realizes that he wants the same thing as Chamberlain has. Can they find love within each other or are these two destined to be alone for the rest of their lives? You need to read the series in order to really get the answer. Wildfire Knockout by Brooke May My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a great part two to an already fabulous book! Katie and Chamberlain are back, and the love and steam are just as good, if not better, in this book. Beth and Scott are fussing and fighting throughout the book as Beth tries to figure out who she is and where she wants her life to go. We get to meet Marissa, who is a sweet and lovely little girl who steals everyone’s heart, and of course, we see Fiona again. Grab a copy of this book and see the love and spice everyone dreams of having for themselves.

Beth is a independent strong woman, she has closed herself off to everyone but when Scott comes into her life at first she is trying to push him away but can he wear her down and help her recover from her past.
When Scott sees Beth he knows he has to find out more about this woman but with him being stonewalled at every turn can he penetrate the walls of heart to see he wants her and be with her. Slowly he starts to see the true woman inside and how vulnerable she is but with his love can they survive and work through it.
This is the third book in the series and although can be read as a stand alone it is probably better to read the first two books in The Predator series as it does cover some of the story and two be honest it is a great series as well.
These two characters start off as enemies but as Beth starts to see Scott is a good guy it becomes more intense and in depth to read. Beth’s character is a dull on sassy bad a** but you start seeing the vulnerable side too her which is great to read and gives Scott the insight to her. Scott’s character is a brilliant equal and complement to Beth’s character and this had me turning the pages to try and see what happens next.
This is a novella so is short but we are not short-changed on the brilliant writing and plot to make this book a thrilling read. I recommend reading the other two books you won’t be disappointed.

Wildfire Knockout: The Predator Series Novella By Brooke May
What can I say about another great instalment in the Predator series, I am really enjoying each book Brooke writes, I am also giving this book a 5-star rating. This instalment is about Scott and Beth. I love how their characters have grown through their own story. Beth has told KC past secrets but then there are also some that she has held on to. Beth’s life went from bad to worse when her mother left the family, leaving her with an abusive father who had plans for her that no parent should ever have for their child. Beth decided that she needed to make plans to get her out of the life that she has now. Luckily for Beth she had a lovely neighbour who wanted to take her in but they both knew that that plan would never work, so her neighbour lied and said she was her grandmother so she could change her name. This is how Beth came about and how she came to be in Denver. While in Denver she met KC in the supermarket when KC went into labour, since that day they have been like sisters. After Chamberlain came back into KC’s life to make her happy, he moved Beth to Boston to live with them. Chamberlain helps Beth get into the boxing scene under the Predator group. Unfortunately for Beth Scott becomes her trainer, Beth has never taken to Scott and dislikes the thought of being around him all the time. Fast forwarding to now for Beth, she is in her first season in the featherweight division. She is also taking the featherweight division by storm, currently Beth is going so well she is undefeated, that is until the day her father finds her when she is out having a run. Beth is taken hostage by her father and two other men that is with him causing her to lose her first fight. Before being taken by her father she meets up with her mum after she has been absent from Beths life for years. Beth also notices that her feelings for Scott have changed and as much as she would like to let him into her life, she knows she can’t. How can he begin to love her when she is so broken?

This talented creative author has done it again with a great storyline and wonderful characters that draw you in right from the start and have you totally on their side. This book brings us the story of Scott and Beth who we met in previous books so while we kn0w a little about them this book brings their lives into focus and we understand so much more about them especially Beth who has so much more to her than you would first think from the other books. I liked her in the first two books but definitely needed more which I got here. Scott and Beth have a strong connection and he is very determined to be hers and work out her secrets so he can help her. I loved that about him. Definitely read the first two books of the series as it will help you fully understand things better.
