Goodreads summary:

She's hitting below the belt…

Round 1
In this corner is admittedly romantic Jenna Wilinski, who’s inherited a rather seedy boxing gym from her estranged father. With it, she can realize her dream of launching an upscale matchmaking business…provided she can take on the very intimidating—and wickedly hot—boxer who stands in her way!

Round 2
In the far corner is former pro boxer Mercer Rowley. He’s the only one who can protect his “home”—even if it is a little run-down— from his determined and feisty little opponent. But man, once the gloves come off, his hands just want to touch her everywhere…

Round 3
This matchup is too close to call. But no matter which contender comes out on top, the other is sure to enjoy every minute of it....

My Review:

I enjoyed this book. The main characters were strong and knew what they wanted which I always appreciate in a book. Though people's decisions may change during the book I like that there was no drawn out pondering. My review for this is going to be fairly short as I don't have much else to say other than it was a good read which I always expect from Harlequin books anyway. Maguire added some realistic obstacles into the story but she created characters who could face them head on. I liked the background for their lives and  most of all I was grateful that there was a complete, solid story instead of just a complete romantic gooey book. Seeing characters face normal problems is always a good sign in a book.

I cannot wait to read the next book in this series
