4.5 StarsOnce again author Michele Mannon has dragged me into the world of MMA fighting and boy am I glad she did.  I flat out loved this crazy, mixed up story between Caden Kelly and Sophie Morelle whom we met in book one when she accidentally cause him to be unable to compete which promptly led to her losing her job. It was so fun to watch these two as they go from adversaries, to friends, to lovers, and back again.  Having more in common than they every realized these two formed a strange bond built on their mutual admiration for the way they approach what's important to them.  The witty banner, sizzling chemistry, mutual love/hate feelings, and an outrageous road trip all make up this most excellent story that I could not put down!There is so more to both Caden and Sophie than meets the eye.  They both have things in their past that have shaped them into the people they are today.  The more time they spend together, the more they realize they genuinely like and respect each other and things get complicated.  Sophie is bound and determined to make a documentary about MMA fighters and wants to feature Caden's life story and Caden wants nothing more than to win the championship and get on with his life.  As Sophie uncovers the dark side of fighting she also begins to realize that there is more to Caden than his underwear model good looks.  Caden discovers that Sophie's on air persona is way different than the woman she is away from the cameras.In addition to the back and forth relationship between Caden and Sophie, Caden is training for the fight of his lifetime and Sophie finds herself investigating corruption within the organization as well as fighters using performance enhancing drugs.  Sophie was already not the most popular person around this group and what she uncovers makes her a target of many.This book will keep you on your toes and make you lose sleep, it's just that good.  Remarkable characters, a little bit of suspense, a whole lot of sexy fun and some flat out amusing dialog makes Tap Out an outstanding competitor in the world of books about MMA fighters.Review copy provided for an honest review.
