Publisher's summary

Kane Travis is one of the most successful fighters in the UFC. His name is known worldwide. Men want to be him, and women just want him. All Kane wants is the heavyweight title. Nothing else matters to him, not until he sees Emmy twirling around a pole.

Kane has one rule: Never give anyone else control. He doesn't let anyone in, especially women. The night he meets Emmy, he knows she is more dangerous than any opponent he has ever fought.

Emmy Sanders will do anything to care for her younger brother, even taking her clothes off at a seedy strip club. Ever since their parents' deaths, she has been the sole provider for them both. All Emmy wants is to get her brother through college. Nothing else matters to her, until she sees Kane sitting at the end of the stage.

Emmy has to have control over every aspect of her life. There is a time and place for everything, and she never wavers from her plan. The night she meets Kane, she knows he is more dangerous than anyone she has ever met.

Adult content not suitable for those under the age of 18, including but not limited to: sexual situations, foul language, and violence.

Good

Any additional comments?

This audiobook was given to me for a honest unbiased review. This was a good story. I love UFC Fighter romances any way, but this one was pretty good. Well rounded in the emotional ring, would laugh and cry through out the story.

COMMON STORYLINE, BUT WELL TOLD

I was gifted this book in exchange for an honest review.

Enjoyable enough listen. World building and writing skill was upper grade. The storyline was common but well told and used a lot of cliche and unrealistic situations. Even with that, the romance was sweet with a HEA.

Logan McAllister has a wonderfully sexy voice. He does a good female but he only uses it for the quotes, not the perspectives. I occasionally was mixed up as to who's head I was in :)

ONE BIG THUMB UP.

Emma and Kane

This was a really good book about Kane, a successful fighter and Emma, who is taking care of her younger brother. They meet when Emma is working on a pole at a strip club and their relationship begins there. I love that this book has no cheating. Logan McAllister did a good job with the narration. I received this free copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

KANE!

What a surprise gem this one turned out to be. I went into this not knowing much background and assumed it may be a lot of BDSM. Pleasantly, it is a MMA/stripper story and not BDSM. I loved it! It had steamy times and action. Recommend this one!

Overall Successful Story

I got this book via audiobook boom. The beginning really was not my cup of tea but these things happen in life all of the time. I am glad I kept listening because Kane and his baby brother came out on the other side of that horror. The story is fast-paced and well developed after that. The narrator was perfect for the story and did justice to each voice. I am glad for the HEA as well. The story is worth a listen if you can get past the beginning violence. Loved how Kane took on his lady love's little brother and helped him so he could finish college. Ths story is less than six hours and is a good rainy day weekend listen.

Good story and narration

Would you try another book from Emily Minton and Alexis Noelle and/or Logan McAllister?

Yes. This was my first book from these authors and the story was pretty good.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

I think the narration was good but it could have benefited from a female and male narrator since it is dual pov. That being said I think the narrator did a good job with the female voices and a really good job with the male voices.

Was Ground & Pound worth the listening time?

I think it was. I listened to it in about one siting and I was invested in the story. If you dont mind dual pov with one narrator, I think you should check this one out.

So Cute....

Wow... what a cute little MMA love story. Kane was an up and coming MMA fighter who decided to pop into a strip club with his younger brother, and what do you know... sweet little Emmy was straddling that pole to perfection... So cute...

The beginning of this book may be hard for some if you have had to deal with domestic violence... that was not a pretty scene...book it brought the book to life in a way... made the characters seem more real... they went through some stuff...

Nice love story between Emmy and Kane... ended was good... I hope Emmy's brother and Kane's brother each get their own book...

Narration: Let me just say... I HATE DUAL NARRATION... unless the girl reads the girl parts and the guy reads the guy parts... If not... what is the point... Both of the narrators could have pull this book off by themselves...

This is a good credit or sale book... although it is not too expensive so maybe even a buy...

Nice MMA romance

Stripper meets MMA star while working the pole in an abusive work environment. MMA star wants her bad, so rescues her and her wannabe MMA fighter brother to an HEA.
Not a ground breaking story but a well written, even paced shorter story.

Ground & Pound

Ground & Pound sucked me in right from the very beginning and kept me on the edge of my seat all the way to the end. This is the dark and dangerous story of Emmy and Kane. Kane is a cocky, yet protective, MMA fighter who sets his sights on Emmy, a feisty, yet guarded, stripper he meets in a seedy strip club. Their chemistry is off the charts and their story is hot and steamy. Logan McAllister did a great job bringing this story to life.

Steamy!!!

Any additional comments?

Kane and Emmy were great together. Hot sex scenes, my kindle got steamy when the two got together. I loved Kane's alpha side. There need to be a book on Trey and Ozzy. Narrators did a good job.
