It didn’t matter that the ref called it a clean hit. Nico Hunter would never be the same.

Elle has a good life. A job she loves, a great apartment, and the guy she’s been dating for more than two years is a catch and a half. But it’s boring…and she strives to keep it that way. Too many emotions are dangerous. Her own past is living proof of what can happen when you lose control.

Then Nico walks into Elle’s office and everything changes…for both of them. But what can the tattooed, hard-bodied MMA fighter and the beautiful and always steady attorney have in common? A lot more than they bargained for.

heartbreaking storyline

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 19, 2013

WORTH THE FIGHT is the first storyline in Vi Keeland’s contemporary new adult MMA Fighter series focusing on the men of MMA fighting and the women that they love. This is Nico and Elle’s storyline and one that is heartbreaking and full of guilt for a man who was only doing what he was trained to do. Although this is considered a stand-alone, and everything wraps up in the end, the second storyline involves some of the character from Worth the Fight and fast forwards the series by several years.

The premise focuses on two people with deep, dark secrets in their past but for one the secret is buried deeper. Nico is a champion MMA fighter who after a fight where everything went horribly wrong has pulled himself from the arena and competition. Trying to get himself out of a sponsorship contract, Nico’s attorney William enlists the aid of Elle, a fellow attorney and his current girlfriend to research the intricacies of the contract. What ensues is Nico’s attempt to ‘woo’ Elle through dinners, dates and gentleness.

Worth the Fight is a storyline about two people who are unable let go of the past. Both Elle and Nico suffer guilt and the ensuing nightmares that prevent either of them from moving forward. Both must learn to forgive themselves before they are able to accept that they are capable of loving and receiving love. Each guilt is based on similar yet different tragedies and until Nico is able to forgive himself, Elle fears she will never be able to reach the man beneath.

The relationship between Nico and Elle is sensual, sexual and erotic. Nico takes his time getting to know Elle: he doesn’t push for a sexual relationship but continues to build a foundation. When the two finally make it to the bedroom, the fireworks are bright and the love making is hot. This is a man who knows how to please a woman but he is also a man who is afraid to push too hard.

The world building takes the reader behind the scenes of MMA fighting, the arena and the gym. We are introduced to Nico’s trainer Preach and a young street kid Vinny whose story will be told in Worth the Chance in 2014.

Vi Keeland pulls the reader into a heartbreaking story where two people must learn to forgive themselves, let go of the part and move forward. Until one is able to forgive, the heart is closed to new adventures, new relationships and a future.

***5 LADY KILLER STARS***

So let me ask you….do you like a man who has tattoos and is a bit of an Alpha Male….and is also a MMA fighter?? Well if you answered yes to this question then you need to meet Nico Hunter. This is my 4th MMA fighter book and I have to say I think I love this type book. Every one I have read has left me with a smile on my face and Worth the Fight was no different. I loved this book. I devoured it in less then a day. Once I started I had a really hard time putting this book down. I really liked the storyline of this book. This book is about learning to forgive ones self and learning to love and let others in.

Nico and Elle were two very similar people on the inside. This story showed how two people, who on the outside look like they don't belong together, can actually have quite a bit in common. Elle had a tragic event happen in her childhood, that left her broken and damaged. She feels what she did was unforgivable, even though what she did was actually quite heroic. ( You'll understand once you read the book ) Well over the course of the years Elle has decided to lead a very "safe" lifestyle and not let anyone get to close to her. She has a great job, some close friends ( but not too close ) and a man that is a great friend that has some benefits on the side. Everything is pretty safe and boring in her life….That is until she meet Nico "The Lady Killer" Hunter. He turns her world upside down. The minute they meet you can feel their attraction and chemistry. Nico is also a broken and damaged person. He also endured a very tragic accident about 18 months prior and has never been the same since. That is until he goes into a meeting and meets Elle. Both of their worlds change that day. I loved how the author developed their relationship. You could totally feel their intense attraction, but it wasn't an insta-love situation. It was very well written, making their feelings and relationship very believable and genuine. This story also showed how both Elle and Nico become each others rocks. Once both of their secrets come out things start to look up for them. That is until Nico fights again and retreats back into himself. My heart was breaking to see how he blamed himself for the past. It was great to see these two grow as individuals and as a couple.

This story really didn't have any stand out secondary characters. Yes there were other people in the story but they all kind of blended into the background and lended support to Elle and Nico when it was needed. I really liked that this story focused on Nico and Elle and everything they needed to overcome.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a great love story with a strong female lead character and a HOT Alpha Male character. This book will have you laughing, smiling, crying, yelling, and of course blushing. This author definitely knows how to write a steamy scene. I thought my kindle was going to melt a couple times :) Pick this book up…..you won't be disappointed!!!!!

A FIGHTER WITH A HEART

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 11, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is one of those books that has been sat in my kindle a while, so when the mood struck for a fighter romance I was so pleased to find one of Vi Keeland's earlier books published in 2013 on my books shelf.

Nico was so swoon-worthy and fan me down hot!!, a fighter with a tough exterior a soft heart.
Nico hadn't fought since he won a fight over a year previously and due to his opponent having something on his brain he died when he hit the mat. Nico still hadn't gotten over that night, still blamed himself and just couldn't move on, even though he kept up with his training, he could't put himself in the cage for a title fight until he felt ready and that day just wasn't coming.

Elle is a lawyer she has her own past nightmares with a father who was abusive to her mother. The day Nico was brought into her office by her then current boyfriend who was also a lawyer just to check over a contract it's like the stars aligned.
There is no cheating in this book although Elle is in a fizzling out relationship when she first meets Nico.

“When we met, we were two injured souls. Both keeping the real out of our lives for fear of what we might find".

"I never believed in destiny. Thought that was a bunch of crap for people who read too many books. Until I met you. You’re it for me, Babe".

Worth the fight is a heartwarming story with angst, hotness, and drama woven into the plot.

"He’s mentally searing the moment into his brain, capturing it forever like an artist with a brush. I can feel it. It’s adoration and lust and love and every other heartfelt emotion rolled up into one perfect man who loves me and couldn’t hide it if he tried".

WORTH THE FIGHT is a good story of self-forgiveness, finding true love and moving on.

Fab story about second chances and finding a love worth fighting for

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 10, 2015

Verified Purchase

Fab story about second chances and finding a love that is worth fighting for.

Elle is just flatlining along through life. Here ‘boyfriend’ is her good friend from college who turned into something more, but there’s no passion in their relationship. Her job is her life. She’s just existing, living a ‘safe’ unexciting life after suffering a traumatic past.

Nico is an MMA fighter who is frightened to get back in the cage after a horrifying accident about a year earlier.

They have an undeniably connection from the moment they meet. An attraction that fires up Elle’s boring existence and makes Nico want to live, again.

I loved the chemistry between Elle and Nico, and how they find joy and a reason to live in one another.

WORTH THE FIGHT IS WORTH A READ

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 10, 2013

Verified Purchase

I really enjoyed this book. I'll be looking for more by this author. A nice easy read...well written, with a storyline that's not beyond the realms. It did't have me desperately wanting to turn the page, and it's not an award winner, but it doesn't profess to be...hence the 4 stars instead of 5. I still read it in a day, and it came at a time when my faith very much needed restoring in e books.
Just the right amount of angst, some well written steamy scenes, and despite it not being a page turner, the characters connected and were likable. Not a wimpy female lead in sight, and no sequel, which is unusual of late. All this along with very few grammatical or spelling errors...think I noticed 1...made it a pleasure to read.
Worth the Fight is worth a read in my opinion :)

I read this book years ago and have popped back for a re-read. I find it to be a bit choppy in the storyline, skipping over scenes very quickly. It made it difficult to flow with the story.

There's just something about Nico

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 21, 2014

I think I've just found my Book Boyfriend!

This was a knockout for me, I was so surprised about how a book about a MMA fighter could actually in fact be one of the sweetest books I've ever read. Elle and Nico are two people who on the surface have it together but in reality are held back & unable to deal with events in there past. That's is, until they find each other. As sweet as they are there is obvious heat between them and they are a very hot couple. I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little jealous of Elle.
