About this listen
Amarie Avant presents a steamy, witty romance with an alpha male and a kick-ass black heroine!
Renee Riley
I’m at the pinnacle of my career, and I don't have time for games.
Not even training matches between the MMA fighters at my family’s famous gym.
But when my brother’s enemy wipes the floor with him, I want no part of it.
It’s just a game.
Until the muscular god, with intense dark eyes, makes me his enemy, too.
I’m ashamed to admit, it’s gotten dirty between Jhang and I.
Jhang Li
I’m the king of the octagon and lack a worthy adversary.
I’ve got a vice grip on my championship belt.
But when Renee Riley returns to town, I devise a plan to make her family pay for their sins.
The tiny, feisty beauty will be the easiest takedown ever.
I’ll worship my enemy’s sister into submission.
Renee can hate me tomorrow.

Story
Respect all, fear none.... I lived by my father’s motto until River entered the MMA cage; River’s brown eyes reflected mystery, and his soul held darkness. Off-limits to a good girl like me. One day, the demons that haunted River swallowed him whole. Forever passed away, yet I failed at forgetting the beast who showed me a tender side of him. Now, I’m the law. A cop. River’s as gorgeous as sin. An ex-convict. And I’m the reason he was tossed in the slammer.

A fighter beat my best friend to within an inch of her life, and I lost it.... I stormed into a Russian gym, and threatened an MMA champ with sinfully dark eyes and dangerous muscles. Of course, I’d already cursed every Russian by the time I got to him. He introduced himself as Vassili Resnov, my heart dropped into the pit of my stomach. Only idiots threaten Resnovs, and then they die - which is logical. The Resnov Bratva is the largest crime syndicate in Russia, maybe the world.

Anything a man can do, I can do it better. I’ve lived by that credo my entire life, and with my dangerous "job", it’s always been true. I’m a rich man’s kryptonite; I can pretend to desire you and then execute a plan to take all you own. My brothers and I live a dangerous lifestyle. Then in walks muscles, murky green eyes, and a cocky smile. August needs a place to stay, and he’s saved my kid brother’s life. Now, he’s a god to my brothers. Can he really be trusted? I'll put a bullet to his head if he proves my intuition is right.

I was supposed to be in charge. That was always my intention. Until that slick corporate raider, Ethan Bradford, clicked his fancy pen and poof! Just like that, I was under him, instead of on top. Rich and powerful men - especially arrogant, handsome ones - are all the same. I know exactly how to handle him, but when my father pulls rank and orders me to play nice, my plans of putting him in his place vanish. I know his type. I've been around men like him my entire life, but one chance meeting with him and his son, makes me question everything I thought I knew.

I was raised to be a ruler of two worlds. One with a pen. One with a knife. Be the king of the concrete jungle at all costs. I should've simply taken a queen, not courted one. I should've forced her submission, not earned it. I should've let respect be enough, not fall in love. Someone has made a grave mistake in coming for my company. For my throne. For my Mia Bella. And for that, they will not only meet the man I was raised to become, but the one I am now, for the only woman I will ever bow to.

Not usually a fan of the novella…
But this one grabs you from the start, fills in all the gaps and leaves you satisfied; along with the hero and heroine of course. Good job Ms. Avant! Caught me by surprise. Loved it.

Secret Love between the family Enemy 🔥🔥🔥
The story started a little awkward. it's two ppl Deep in Lust with each other. The H and h seem not being able to stay away from each other.🔥 They were in their own little bubble of contentment. I enjoyed the characters interactions. I actually wanted a little more of the story family.

Fun, sweet love
I enjoyed this love story between Renee and Jhang. They are so called enemies in the MMA world, opposite sides of the cage with Renee's family being dominant in the field. Jhang turns Renee's world upside down in more ways than one. He proves to be a contender for her brother in the cage and her heart outside the cage. They begin 'courting' and fall in love. Their journey, although quick is a little bumpy but as they get to know each other they find a truly sweet love. The narration of this book by Rogers and Willacey was also good.

I'm a sucker for Amarie Avant stories!
This was an AWESOME story! I read Bad for You. It's nice to read the origins of the Lee family! I'm dying to read River's story even more now that I know his girlfriend's background story!
I love how your stories all seem to tie together so flawlessly!

This worked better in print
For me, the story worked better when I read it. The conversations between the characters were cute, but delivered awkwardly by the narrators. Xenia Willacey's delivery with some of the dialogue can come off more as panicky instead of defiant.

Fun but confusing
Initially I was excited for this since it’s this authors first man of color(she’s done latin men but many of them read as white). I still was reading it, but it wasn’t the five star read I thought it’d be.
I was sold that it was bad boy/good girl(which was accurate) and enemies to lovers but I’m not sure I loved the way the second was executed.
Sometimes I wasn’t sure what it was about. It was a lot of words without a goal. The narrators did the best they could with what they had but despite it being entertaining, I didn’t see the main objective to the story. And then it’s shorter than her normal stories so there wasn’t as much to connect to as other books.
I hope this author continues to make Asian men because I love to see more of them. I wouldn’t call this a miss but it wasn’t her best.

Such a sweet and possible story
As an avid reader I run into a lot of yeah right stories. Almost impossible but we read anyway because of the HEA high. But this is one where it is very possible. Even her The McKenzie crime family books aren't too far fetched. The love hate was palpable but it worked. Because in all of it Love won. Prejudice and misunderstandings were still brought around by love. maybe not made perfect but it was able mend. Renee was smart, strong and made being a heroine look good. Jang was the asshole Alpha we all love. Fun story must read.
My only con: The make narrator sounded more Hispanic than Asian 🤷🏾♀️.
