Book – Knock Out (Worth the Fight #1)Author – Michele MannonPublication Date - December 2, 2013Type – Stand-Alone Series (???)Genre – Romance, MMARating – 3.5? 4? out of 5 StarsReviewI’m still in the air whether this book was a 3.5 or a 4 rating.  I got a bit annoyed over Logan and how much her “fall” impacted her decisions and the storyline.  Keane was another story though – I understood his indecision on starting a relationship with Logan but there were times, I just wanted to smack him upside his head.Yeah, there have been many books about an ex-soldier struggling with PTSD and taking his inner demons out in the ring, but there was something a bit different with this story.  We were able to watch Keane and Logan use each other in order to overcome their insecurities.This story is told from both POV’s so we get an idea of what is going on in Keane’s head along with Logan’s.  I loved how Keane would one minute tell Logan they couldn’t do “this” but then in the next he was tearing her clothes off along with thinking sweet things in his head.Re-CapWe start out with Logan beginning a new job as a ring card girl.  This is the only good paying gig she could get after her devastating fall on national TV which impaired her ankle so bad that she would never dance professionally again.  The only other dream she wants is to open her own dance school.  Well, that is until she literally falls into Keane before a fight.Keane suffers from PTSD and guilt over his best friend.  He doesn’t sleep at night and is plagued with nightmares.  He tries to drink, medicate and fight his way through the demons he carries on his shoulders and in his heart.Logan needs Keane to fight – Keane doesn’t want to – Logan determined to keep her job diligently plagues Keane into agreeing to fight.  She’ll help him kick his bad habits with natural remedies while he fights through the championship, on one condition, NO SEX.  How long do you think that lasts?So....cool – sex is great but it’s just sex....no feelings attached to it – Ok? Do you think that’s gonna hold?Wrap UpRead about how Logan breaks through Keane’s shell to expose his black heart and get it beating again, but will it last?
