I'm loving this series. in this one, Paulie is one of the trainers at the gym and one of the last 2 left single. In walks Sarah, who keeps pestering him about a charity thing. She just doesn't give up and her sweet bubbliness eventually breaks down his walls. All the guys who run the gym really are such sweety pies and I love them. Can't wait for the next! I received an arc.
Paul and Sarah have a really weird relationship. I get Sarah's desire to do what she is doing, but I don't get Paul's apathy. Everything around their relationship is difficult, because they (Paul) make it so, and their brothers only complicate things. The story was interesting, even if it was a little frustrating to read about Paul and all his issues. I get it, in a way, but I didn't like him. Sarah's character was just a little bit better, I liked her and she is congruent, but there were still a few things about her and Paul that I didn't like.

Description: Reckless - A Bad Boy MMA Fighter Contempory Romance Novel The Warrior Zone Fighter Series Paul - Partner & Trainer at The Warrior Zone MMA Gym Sarah Gilden - Charity Promoter - looking for MMA Fighter for her Charity event. I am in love with this series as it is fantastic. The writing style is exceptional. A remarkable written & developed novel with no plot holes. With realistic compelling characters you will fall in love with. I love the supporting characters as they add a nice touch to the story. The premise of this novel had me intrigued & once I started reading I could not put the book down. A captivating novel that is sweet & sexy spicy. With a perfect ending to a wonderful story. Looking forward to reading Benji's story next. A must read series.
So far my favourite book from the series! Sarah and Paul may come from opposites sides of the track but they fit in each other's lives perfectly.
Enjoyable read. They have so much chemistry, and I love that Sarah was ballsy. She knew what she wanted and didn't let go of it willingly. Paul has the rough, alpha fighter façade but he when he turns on the charm... look out! 😍
Great storyline that keeps you engaged. With a nice amount of MMA scenes and know-how in this sports romance. A good chunk of character growth and development throughout, and steady pace. A few lighthearted banter and humorous one liners here and there that were unexpectedly cool elements to the book.
I am loving this series, I am loving learning about all the guys from The Warrior Zone, being the third book in the series and it is just as good as the first two.
I loved this story this one was so heartwarming with Paul looking after his mum and brother, especially his brother who has cancer and needs medication that is expensive, and we have Sarah who runs charities for the less fortunate.
Paul was a very hard headed character, he wanted to be left alone and let him do what he had to do, work, look after his brother and make money for his treatment. I really liked Paul i liked how stubborn he was and just wanted to be left alone and wanted to deal with his life and issues by himself.
Sarah is one of my fav characters I really loved how she born into money, but she never shoved it in anyone's face and she was all about helping people that didn't have anything and how she just wanted to make all the money for her charities, she really did have a heart of gold and I loved that most about her.
This book was fantastic, it was heartwarming, a little angst, and I didn't want to put it down, so if you like alpha MMA fighters then you really need to read this, if you haven't started the series you should give it a go and if you are up to the book in this series then you won't be disappointed.
I love, love love the Warrior Zone books! Reckless is about Paul "Scorpion" and Sarah, Sarah wants Paul, and she puts on a charity event featuring the MMA fighters at the Warrior Zone. Paul is a private person - he doesn't open up to others easily. He's trying to take care of his little brother Matt, who has cancer. When Sarah makes Paul an offer he can't refuse, he finally takes it, but he's fighting more than one battle.I loved that Sarah was a go-getter without being ruthless. The chemistry between them is so hot, and I loved how their story was written. I'm sensing Benji's story is next, can't wait! I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
I really enjoyed this book and liked both Paul and Sarah. The chemistry between them was steaming hot and believable. The characters in this book are well written and likeable, there are plenty of other characters than the hero and heroine - although hardly any glimpses of the two couples from the previous books.
Paul seems quite rude and obnoxious to Sarah at first and I assumed they had already had some sort of unhappy relationship. This isn't the case and there isn't really an explanation for why he is so abrupt with her. This was really the only thing I didn't care for and it was a very minor part of the book
The plot was interesting, had good pace and was totally different from the previous two books. I liked the little side stories and subplots too. The book is easy to read, with a nice flowing style and alternating POV's. I like hearing both the hero and the heroines 'voices' in a book as this allows you to have an empathy with them and also to understand their feelings and decisions.
Well worth reading and I can't wait for the next book.
Such a great book!! I love this series, though i think this to date is my favourite! Paul hasn't had an easy life and has fought for the everything he has. Sarah has had an easy life, she is drawn to help those in need. When these two come together sparks fly and old wounds are opened. Can Paul battle through and let his wounds heal before he loses the one thing worth fighting for? I voluntarily read and advanced copy of this book
Over the years MMA fighter and former champion Paul has tried to make his life as uncomplicated as possible when it came to women. One night was all he was willing to give them. Hurt in the past Paul keeps women away from his heart. Sarah has had a good life. Growing up wealthy hasn't made her spoiled. She works for her charity raising money for people in need. What she needs now is for Paul to accept her offer to fight for her upcoming charity event. He has said no countless times until she offers to pay him. Needing the money for his brother and his treatments Paul accepts. Paul tries his hardest to avoid Sarah and his need for her. Sarah is persistent and never gives up. These two are explosive with each other, but Paul thinks Sarah deserves more than he can offer. So Paul pushes her away. Did he just make the biggest mistake of his life. Can he get back the woman he loves? My absolute favourite of the Warrior Zone series!! Another fantastic read from Tia Lewis!!
I really did not expect the turnabout of this story at the beginning I thought he hated her because she had broken his heart in the past but it was a way different reason. He was Moody, rude, obnoxious but had a side that no one was able to see that was kept hidden he was sweet, cared about his family, and was loyal to a fault learning about his brothers disease was one of the secrets that he didn't want Sarah to know but once she found out even with her heart broken she gave her all her charities and helping people was something Sarah did with her money. Using it for good she wasn't spoiled or rude, she was sweet, honest, and willin to work hard just like anything else.
Sarah has been after Paul to fight for her charity event. He's avoided her as best he can until she offers the one thing he needs the most. Book three in this series will rock your world. Great read! Enjoy!!!
Great read. So many ups and downs. I loved every minute of it. Can not wait to read more about Matt and Jack. I wonder if Jarrod will become a fighter? Now onto Benjis story. As always keep writing and I will keep reading. Thank you.
Paul may not be one for relationships with women beyond one night, but when it comes to his brother, he will do whatever it takes to help him. Even if that means taking a Charity MMA Fight gig that the beautiful yet annoyingly persistent Sarah has been hounding/ stalking him about for weeks. His brother needs treatments he cannot afford on his own, the money Sarah is offering will help pay for that. All he has to do is get through a few pre-fight things with the increasingly enticing women whom Paul thinks is out of his league, Do the fight, and he is home free. Sarah has other ideas. She is not going to let the MMA fighter go without a fight of her own. Another MMA Fighter at the gym bites the dust! Loved Paul and Sarah's story! Sassy and hot- angsty kept my eyes glued to the screen kind of read! Reckless is one of my favorite's out of the series! Tia Lewis does not disappoint! Now I wait impatiently for Benji's story! I voluntarily read an advanced readers copy of this book
Paul hasn't had an easy life and now his brother is sick, he will do anything he can to come up with the money for his treatment. Sarah loves helping her charities and cones up with an event that involves MMA fighting and wants Paul. Paul wants nothing to do with it until Sarah tells him she will pay him to fight and Paul needs the money for his brother. Paul doesn't do relationships, but there is something about Sarah. Everything is good until Paul thinks he's not good enough and completely shatters Sarah's heart. Can Paul just walk away or will he fight for Sarah? Really good story and liked Paul & Sarah and can't wait to read the next book in this series

Once again Tia Lewis proved that she is the master of great romances with stubborn heroes and strong heroiness! Plot is really well considered and everything is placed like masterpice. There were times I was like screaming at book, or laughing. That was one of the best books from Tia I have read! Characters, all of them were great! Even side ones were full especially families of Paul and Sarah. Sarah was so sweet with her way, but still she wa real - she knew her way and what she can do. Paul at some moments made me almost hate him, but after all i really like him.
Wow, I loved this story! This is the third book in this amazing series, and it is Paul’s turn to have his story told. Paul has had a rough upbringing, and he work hard to earn whatever money he can in order to pay for his little brothers cancer treatment. Sarah has a charity event to organize and she is determined to have Paul as a fighter for the event. He is not interested, until she offers him something he cannot refuse. I love the banter, and how the characters from the previous books play such a great part in each book. Tia has written yet another great book, which has me intrigued and captivated throughout. I cannot wait to read Benji’s story next. I adore Tia’s books, and I recommend for all readers. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book for the author!
I love it! I enjoyed following Sarah and Paul's story, as Sarah tries to get Paul to agree to a charity fight, and Paul tries to take care of his mom and brother, who has cancer. I am looking forward to book 4 in the series.
Loving this series! This the 3rd book for Warrior Zone Fighters....
Paul, a MMA fighter, who is taking care of his sick brother... ....tries to keep the rest of his life simple and uncomplicated especially for women.. Sarah, spoiled princess, used to get what she wants! ...she sets her sights on Paul!
This is their story...will he continue pushing her away or embrace the chance for happiness... This book is full of emotions, wonderful ending...must read....very enjoyable
Tia Lewis' Reckless is the third book in the Warrior Zone Fighters series featuring a bad boy MMA fighter romance. I have enjoyed this MMA series with each book the author has added. Tia Lewis is an author that does not disappoint in their deliver of a great story with solid characters and a truly well written plot to go with that. A high charged & driven series that will no doubt continue to amaze with each additional book that may come. A wonderful love story with the MMA twist. Great job Tia!!
I love this series! Everyone I read I have a new favorite couple. Paul and Sarah are both so proud and stubborn but absolutely perfect for each other. Can't wait for the next book! I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.
As always in a Tia sucker, I love her words, her books and I can't get enough of her! I thing this book was so emotionally charged, Paul was a powerful character and Sarah was an amazing heroine. I loved the book in ever single way, the passion in Paul and the persistence in Sarah. After dealing with problems and a one of them included his little brother, Paul has no chance but accept the deal from Sarah. He's angry with the world, but he loves so fiercely to his family. He doesn't need more drama, he needs to stake focus, fight and get money. But with his little temptress is so hard to not want her in his bed, even when he see the sign of more problems. Sarah wants him on her ring, she sees this as a win-win for both of them. But she can't stop thinking how his arms will feel around her, she wants him and she can see the same fire in his eyes but he refused to fall into this. Passion like only Tia can write!! Definitely 5 stars!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this MMA book that I could not put it down, and loved the characters of Paul Watts and Sarah Gliden. I also found this book to be entertaining and enlightening about MMA fighters. Paul had difficulties growing up without a father, but he learned to fight. Paul was one of four owners of the MMA gym, The Warriors Zone. He took care of his mother and younger brother, who had cancer, by paying for his treatments. Sarah came from a family that was wealthy—her father is a real estate mogul—and she was the chairwoman to a foundation that her family owned. While attending Tony and Hannah’s wedding, Paul bumps into Sarah. When Sarah tries to approach Paul, he does not want to be bothered with her, but Sarah needs to find a way to get him to accept the fight. Sarah needs a high profile MMA fighter for her charity event that could guarantee her a win, but Paul is disinterested with Sarah’s proposal until she offers him money that will help pay for his brother’s expensive treatment. The chemistry between Sarah and Paul grows more potent the more time they spend together—the sex is off the chart hot! Cannot give too much away, so read it and see what happens. The scenes are well written, fast-paced and flow smoothly from one scene to the next. This book will pique your interest and draw you in from the beginning to the very end.
I voluntary read a arc copy of this book. This is Paul and Sara story and its fantastic and very hot. Paul has a lot on his plate and is not looking for anyone. Sara sees something in Paul and she wants him. She want Paul to help with a charity event she is planning but cant get him to agree. Paul has not had the best look with love in the past. He doesn't believe ge is good enough for her but Sara is tuff and will not walk away from no matter what he says are does.
Loved this story! Loved Paul and Sarah. After reading the 1st two stories, wasn't sure I was going to like Paul, not knowing much about him, but I did. Can't wait to read Benji's story next!!
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book Oh Sarah Gilden, you have a job and a half on your hands. You need a top fighter at your Charity event. Asking Paul 'Scorpion' Watts is a good idea but not when he says no!!! Sarah is persistent though and he agrees to do it for money, a lot of money. Paul needs a large amount of money to help with his brother Matthew cancer treatment. Getting paid for this charity event is a weight of his mind. What he didn't expect was to meet sexy, hot Sarah. The chemistry is wow factor but Paul fights against it, he doesn't think he is good enough. I just loved Paul, a very kind, loving but very angry man. He had a lot of worry on his mind and has always fought for everything he has ever wanted. I think Sarah came along at the right time and taught him how to,open up and love again. Jack was a sad but lovely surprise too. I think this is a brilliant series and want it to go on for a lot more.

OH OH OH I am so loving the Warrior Zone books, this one is about Paul "Scorpion" (His Ring Name) and Sarah Gildon. Sarah just cant give up on what she wants and needs and she needs Paul, He is an MMA fighter and she is putting on a charity event, She got the idea for the event after going to the exhibition at Warrior Zone and seeing the fighters in action (I LOVED that she had asked Benji first and he doesnt say a word to Paul about it lol) Paul is very closed off to everyone, he has had such a rough life and things keep getting thrown into it that make it harder and harder to get by. Matt his little brother is fighting cancer and Paul is paying most of the medical bills, He mom does get a monthly allowance from "The Sperm Donor" of Paul and Matt, but that man wants NOTHING to do with them at all. He is a very wealthy man and doesnt want his reputation tarnished with scandal. Sarah is persistant in her pursuit of getting Paul to say yes and finally offers him 50K to fight for her. I cannot wait to continue with these warrior zone men YUMMY I know Benji's story is next but hopefully now that they are getting more fighters training with them we will have more from this series!! Tia has done an amazing job with this one LOVED it. I think it was my favorite so far but OMG Benji we have gotten JUST Enough of him to make me think his will be the best yet.
OMG loved it Wow what a great read, Paul and Sarah are great characters and have smoking chemistry, they have to over come some issue if they wanted a future. This was a great addition to the series and I wasn't dissappointed. Highly recommend this book n the other books in series.
