Hard Knocks by Lori Foster

Hard Knocks by Lori Foster (Ultimate #0.5)

Hard Knocks is the prequel novel to Lori Fosters new MMA series. I would give this a 4 out of 5 stars. My only complaint about the book is Gage and Harpers story was way to short. But the book allows us to get acquainted with a few of the characters we will encounter later in the series. And lets just say I can't wait to get my hands on the next book No Limits to learn of Cannon's story. And on a side note, one of the best things about the book is its cover. The cover is way HOT!!!

Cannon is a character that we met in the book Getting Rowdy. He takes great pride in keeping his neighborhood safe. Cannon is training to become a SBC fighter who wants to open a rec center.So Cannons friends help him out in opening up a rec center for all the local kids and it gives him a place to train. So before reading this check out Getting Rowdy and Dash of Peril to get to know Cannon a little better before you read No Limits. 

Anyway back to Hard Knocks. Gage is brooding because he's out of the fight. Hes home from Japan licking his wounds. One mistake and he's out of the fight. So now he is here to watch a fight with all his friends at the rec center. So when he sees Harper Gates flaunting her stuff he decides to take his frustration out on her. But the one thing Gage doesn't expect is for Harper to turn the tables on him and become so compliant. 

Harper felt betrayed by Gage leaving her. She wasn't mad by the fact that he left her to go to Japan, she was mad because he left her without  ever calling her. They had a relationship and they were working towards something more, but then he leaves never calling. She knows the game with the guys at the rec center and she supports them. Most of the guys fighting is their life, its part of them. But when Harper feels Gage watching her she decides she can't let him get away again.
