Fighter #5
No Hesitations
***MUST BE READ AFTER NO HOLDS (The Fighter Series #4)***
Ryker
My life is perfect.
I have it all—the woman of my fantasies and my shot at the championship.
It’s all right in front of me. In my grips. I can see it, taste it, feel it.
No chance in hell I’ll lose.
Until I fall at the mercy of another man’s hands.
I’m torn apart and forced to make difficult decisions while staring malicious hatred in the eyes.
Doors open and others close—ones I’m not ready to see go.
My course changes. My dreams begin evading me.
You think I fought hard to get where I’m at now?
You haven’t seen the depth of my perseverance yet.
This isn’t the end of me.
I AM NOT DONE.
Whitney
He has everything in his hands—his career, me, our future.
One costly mistake, a defiant decision, and everything vanishes.
As he holds my hand through the darkness, he loses it all.
I watch with anguish as he struggles to put the torn pieces back together.
It’s not as easy as he had hoped.
But his strength proves powerful. His determination unbreakable.
Together we’ll conquer.
Together we don’t accept defeat.
WE ARE NOT DONE.

In
No Holds
, we saw how Ryker and Whitney began and evolved into an almost symbiotic relationship. Well, the love didn’t end there. In
No Hesitations,
it only got stronger, deeper, and all-encompassing.
❝ She’s my weakness. I’m powerless when it comes to her. ❞
The story bordered on too sweet but it stayed just shy of being sanguine. I liked how the author introduced a bit of drama in this one. One incident in particular showcased how deeply committed and devoted Ryker was to Whitney and made me like him even more. In this book, Ryker’s journey to the professional league is shown and it’s not without its own speed bumps and hurdles. However, these two stuck together and gave new meaning to the word teamwork.
Somehow, amidst the action, fighting, crying, hot sex, and meaningful ‘I love yous’, this couple found their way to a sweet and immensely satisfying happy ending. TC Matson is a new author to me and I’ve gotta say that she kept me thoroughly entertained with Ryker and Whitney.

No Hesitations was the fifth book in TC Matson’s Fighter series and was the continuation of Ryker and Whitney’s story, No Holds, book four.
I loved Ryker and Whitney. And I loved that the drama was more about external conflicts rather than their relationship. Matson threw in some twists with their life and journey that I didn’t see coming; which made the story more interesting and unpredictable. And amidst it all, Ryker and Whitney’s love grew stronger. I loved that the most.
Technically both books could have been told in one, but they were both quick reads, enjoyable and well worth it. I do; however, wish that this book took us further into the future. Ryker and Levi have some unfinished business that I’d like to see explored further. And please let there be a book for Kyce/Candace and another for Carter. There’s so much more still to be told!

No Hesitations by T.C. Matson a five star-read worth fighting for. This is the fifth book in the Fighter series, you don’t need to have read the first three books in the series but you do need to have read book four No Holds before reading this book as this one picks up after book four and you would be lost without reading it first. I am in the process of reading the first three as I have loved these two books so much.
Witney comes into her own in this story, she has stood by her man Ryker ‘The Stryker’ and watched him fighting despite being anti-violence, she understood that it was a sport and passion to him. Their relationship grows and develops and we watch him realise his life isn’t his own anymore, his man card has been handed over. The only time he gets it back is when he is in the ring. Events happen and both are shaken to the core. But it’s how they fight back that will show the true power.
T.C. Matson has fast become a go to author for me, I have devoured every word she has written and I for one can’t wait to read more. If you are looking for a good read that will keep you hooked get this book and the one before, if you are in the mood for an amazing series check the whole lot out. I doubt you will be disappointed I know I haven’t been.

I have loved every one of the books in this series each one has taken me on a journey and I never thought that I would love Ryker & Whitney’s story as much as I loved Levi & Paige.
This book picks up after No Holds and if you just dive in to this then I promise that you will be playing catch up all the way through. Whitney isn’t really a fan of the violent sport but realises that this is his passion and only wants to support him in following his dreams. You watch as their relationship becomes stronger and they face some horrific events that only bring them closer to their dreams although at first it looks as though its torn the dreams apart. Both strong characters I have to admit I sat and read a lot of this book smiling and had to devour this book as quickly as I could once I started this story there was no way I was putting it down till I read the last page.
Thank you to T.C. Matson for giving these two characters an amazing journey. I have No Hesitations in daring you to read all 5 books I doubt you will be sorry.

Sexy Ryker!!!
I swear I thought Ryker couldn't get any sexier!!! When we first met him, ugh I legit hated him, I wanted to find a dork and stick it in his eye!!! But since his books, I've ooohed I've ahhhhed and I've sighed!!! Ryker is everything all wrapped in one big sexy man, he's fierce, loving, loyal, just to name a few... throughout No Hesitations we will see an entire side of Ryker we've never seen, see he and Whitney go through some very trying times, but will he or they persevere? Happy Reading :) oh and I'm officially unstabbing Ryker and loving on him now ;)

Damn, where is my Ryker?!
This entire series is amazing!! I love Levi and Ryker 💙 please tell me there is more to come!! I had to read Ryker's first story again and loved it as much or more the second time! You need to read this series and it will distract you from real life, housework.... sleep.... just read it!!

Amazing!
Ryker...defeated, broken and determined to win the championship to go pro. When disaster strikes and Ryker has to make the hardest decision in his life he does it without hesitation. When Levi, his biggest opponent, steps to his side to support him a newfound determination is awakened. Can he overcome and finally make his dream come true?
Ryker has quickly become my favorite in the series. He's tough but yet a softy, determined and protective. With Whitney by his side he is overcoming tragedy and comes out on top once again. This is one of my favorite reads of 2017!

🔥I HAVE NO HESITATIONS ABOUT ONE-CLICKING ANY BOOK TC MATSON WRITES!🔥
I have sat here for most of the day and into the night, trying to write this review without gushing or going overboard, and I'm still not sure I can do it, but I'm going to give it a try...🔥
For all of you TC Matson fans who have already read the other books of
her The Fighter Series, I'm calling NO HESITATIONS "Ryker (yum), Book 2, (because we get more of Ryker and Whitney's story). I know you probably won't even read my review, because once you read Bk 1, BLINDSIDED, you were hooked, on the Fighter Series, just as I was..🔥
For those of you who have not read TC Matson's The Fighter Series, honestly, I read all of the time, and I can say without exaggeration, you are missing one of THE best series in this genre, and you should one-click every one of the books of this series IMMEDIATELY...🔥
While in theory, I suppose all books could be StandAlones, in reality, NO HESITATIONS IS DEFINITELY NOT A STANDALONE!!! You should AT LEAST read NO HOLDS, first. But, honestly, I can't, in good conscience, even recommend that you read only those two books, (1) Because I think it would be unfair to you, having no history of the other crossover characters and their relationships, (2) I know you will love TC Matson, and the whole series, in general, and (3) Because some surprises, and, to me, they were huge ones, will not mean as much to those of you who have not read the entire series and remembered the history of these characters ......Seriously, read BLINDSIDED, UNEXPECTED, AWAKENED, NO HOLDS and then NO HESITATIONS!!! This is a series with crossover characters, and they are all fantastic books with fantastic characters ..In fact, I am going to read the whole series again (this will be my 3rd time), and I'll get to read NO HESITATIONS for my 2nd time!!!! 🔥
I can't end this review without saying TC Matson has really done it again with NO HESITATIONS...Her talent, as an author, is insane...She has mastered the sexy, hot, dirty-talking, cocky, 100% alpha male, sex god (my kinda guy) and the strong women with whom they fall in love..She also writes the hottest, sexiest love scenes of anyone..While it is the characters and their stories we love so much, TC Matson can, seriously, set your kindle on fire!!! 🔥 She writes in dual POV, which many of us prefer (Don't we want to know what both of the main characters are really thinking and feeling? ) and she writes real characters whose language and actions are real and true to life...Many of us feel as if we actually know these people....And I am NEVER, EVER ready for any of her books to end...🔥
TC, thank you for NO HESITATIONS!!! Actually, thank you for the whole FIGHTER SERIES...I HOPE TO SEE BOOKS 6, 7, 8, etc.....🔥❤️🌼

Ryker's life is finally perfect, as he has the woman he loves, and a second chance at the championship. He can find nothing to complain about, until one choice derails it all, and he loses everything. Whitney is excited about her and Ryker's future, until one choice derails everything, and she's not sure that they can come back from it separately, but together, they will conquer all. Let me make something super clear, this is the second book of Ryker and Whitney's story, so YOU MUST READ No Holds first! Now that I got that out of my system, I'll move along. I know that my description above is a bit cryptic, but this story consumed me fully, and if I try too hard to describe it, then spoiler douchery will commence, and that's not how I roll. T.C. Matson is absolutely brilliant in her talented writing style, as I'm very addicted, and will NEVER EVER get enough! She instantly transported me into her world, and frankly, I didn't want to leave. Ryker is a super yummy alpha male that I fell for quickly, while Whitney was amazing in her own right. Together, they left scorch marks on my kindle screen with the FIERY FLAMES of sexy time that exploded between them. Then, there's this amazingly colorful cast of secondaries that kept me laughing hard, especially the tiny human! And the HUGE twist that I never saw coming left me dropping loud f-bombs right & left. I cannot believe that I came so late to The Fighter Series, but I know this, I will be reading all the previous book ASAP! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

No Hesitations (Fighter Series #5) by T.C. Matson
• Fight for what you Love
***MUST BE READ AFTER NO HOLDS (The Fighter Series #4)***
This is a continuation of Ryker and Whitney's story. Definitely has some nail biting situations throughout the story, but oh so alien reading. I've read No holds (Fighter Series #4) and No Hesitations (Fighter Series #5) , now I need to go back and read 1-3... As well as whatever comes next. I don't want to give anything away, but if you enjoy reading MMA stories or watching them, then this series is for you. MMA and romance, you can't go wrong! I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this book via IndieSagePR for an honest blog tour review. Due to sexual and adult situations this novel is recommended for readers 18 and older.

As the noted in the synopsis, you must read No Holds first, otherwise you will be lost and have no clue what you are reading.
Ryker and Whitney are leading up to the last fight before Ryker gets his second chance at going pro. Nothing can go wrong or he's out. Until something does go wrong? In one decision will Whitney and Ryker lose everything?
I loved that we got to finally get a real feel for Candice, she was a comical addition to No Hesitations. I also found myself in Whitney's shoes when it came to Carter. He really deserved everything that came to him.
I guess as in the story of life, you never know who really is your friend or has respect for you until you have losing everything that matters. There are friendships made, relationships broken, deceit, and heartbreak. There is also love, silver linings, and new beginnings.
I loved that there was more MMA action in No Hesitations, it kind of helped me understand what went into Ryker and his personality. Also, the war Ryker created within himself made a lot more sense. He loves and is caring with Whitney, but you can't be that way in the ring.
There was absolutely nothing more I wanted out of No Hesitations, this book earned a 5 star review! I'm glad that I followed Ryker and Whitney's journey.

5 ‘Striker’ Stars!
No Hesitations is book five in The Fighter series and MUST be read AFTER No Holds. It is, hands down, my absolute favorite! What can I say? My man Ryker is all that AND a hunk of muscles in gym shorts ;)
I always love seeing big bad men brought to their knees by the women they love, and Ryker is no exception. Ryker is all Alpha male, but I love how Whitney brings out his soft side. They balance each other perfectly. And the chemistry between these two is OFF THE CHARTS! This book is absolutely everything. It’s funny, emotional, intense, sexy AF and one of the best I’ve read this year. Did I mention sexy? It’s sexy and FREAKING HAWT!! Ryker and his dirty mouth can have me anytime! Any man that wants to “step up his shower f***s” is a man that I want as mine, jus sayin’! The man makes me totally swoon! Ryker and Whitney prove they are the couple to beat all couples and will let nothing ruin their happiness...not even each other!
I laughed. I cried, and I was on the edge of my seat. Matson delivers another fantastic story in this MMA series and it’s her best yet!

After reading No Holds, I didn't think I could fall in love with Ryker more than I already was. Boy was I wrong! The passion he shows for those he cares for is uncompareable. Through out their whole story I fell in love with not only Ryker, but with Whitney as well.
I love how she makes sure that she continues to be the same person she was before she met Ryker. She doesn't let him push her around, at the same time giving as good as she gets. These two couldn't be more of a perfect match.
I really enjoyed how things turned out for Ryker and Whitney, I'm not going to spoil the ending for you because I really think that you should read No Holds and No Hesitation to fully understand Ryker and Whitney's relationship. I would most definitely ENCOURAGE you do read their story.
I'll be honest, this was the first story I've read from T.C. Matson, but it will not be my last. I'll be adding Ryker and Whitney's story to my re-read list because I don't' think I could ever get enough of these two.
Amazing job T.C. Matson! I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next!

~~~~~~~~~~Tracy's ★★★★★ Review~~~~~~~~~~
**Must Read No Holds first**
Ryker isn't going to let any stop him from attaining his goals. He has the perfect woman at his side until tragedy strikes his heart. Whitney can't help the man she loves the most when something she did costs him everything. Sometimes when the goal you are striving for changes you must rush towards the future with No Hesitations.
I loved No Holds and I thought T.C. Matson couldn't surpass that book, until I read this book. Wow! I was blown away. What Whitney and Ryker go through together just stunned me and showed me that through love there is strength. Through pain there is hope. I went through so many emotions while reading this book. It tore at my heart one minute and the next I was soaring above the clouds with happiness. T.C. Matson is BRILLIANT!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

You must read No Holds first, as it is where Whitney and Ryker’s story begins. After finishing No Holds, I had no hesitations (Ha! Pun completely intended) about reading the next book in the series.
Ryker, Ryker, Ryker. He’s got a body made for sin and alpha to umpteenth degree. Uhhh… Yes, Puhlease! Ryker is what every woman aspires to have, Whitney is one lucky lady. He’ll pull your hair and smack your ass, but he has this incredibly vulnerable side that only exist for Whitney. She is truly his better half. They are so deeply connected and you as the reader can feel it. Ryker is willing to give up everything for Whitney in the blink of an eye. The storyline in this book has many ups and downs, but the chemistry between Ryker and Whitney, is off the charts HAWT. Not HOTT, HAWT. A must read.
TC Matson has written a page turner for sure. If you are looking for a sexy read that will heat you and your kindle up, you better one click! A kick ass series! Ha!

Whitney & Ryker are back in No Heaitations and it picks up right after No Holds ends. I just love this couple they truly balance each other, Whitney calms the raging storm inside of Ryker. The love and chemistry between these two will melt your kindles. This book offers more drama and violence outside of the MMA ring! It is heartbreaking but also beautiful to see Whitney's strength after something so tragic.
The writing is once again flawless and gives an amazing view of Whitney & Rykers lives from their biggest triumphs to their lowest lows. Sometimes dreams have to be altered to reach the final goal!
The Haynes family + extended members are a tight knit clan and gives us all something to hope for in our own families. They may fight but they will always have each other's back.

🌟Infinite Stars for this baby!!!🌟
My Preface~
When I first found out author TC Matson was writing Ryker's story (Ref-No Holds) I was like...uh uhhh, no way! He's too much of a d*#@ for me to like.
WELL...Let Me Tell You...DAYUM!!!
💥❤️I WAS SO WRONG❤️💥
•••☝︎no, I will not tell you what happens ☝︎•••
🤣😘🤣
Now without further ado!!!!
💥🥊 NO HESITATIONS 🥊💥
••continues where No Holds leaves off••
Ryker and Whitney are on a rosy path to forever when danger rears its ugly head. This change in course wreaks havoc; ultimately leading to enlightenment, friendship and realization.
The passion and emotion written by Author TC Matson exudes leaps off each and every page.
The feels were....love, passion, fear, anger, anxiety, excitement and every little thing in between.
I was literally on edge the entire time!

Never thought I'd love Ryker as much as I love Levi but it's happened! There was just something about this book that pulled me over to Team Ryker "Striker" Hayes. The passion and love he has for fighting is nothing compared to what he feels for Whitney. And when she is put in danger he willing gives up everything he's fought for to be by her side, with no hesitation.
If you're already a fan of this series then you need to read this book. And if T.C. Matson is a new-to-you author you absolutely need to start the Fighter Series from book 1 to truly understand where Ryker is coming from and what he's fought so hard for.
This book just made my "Favorites" list :)

Who doesn't love a good MMA book? Better yet, who doesn't love a good romance book? What if the two were combined? How could you not fall more in love with that? Well, that us exactly what TC Matson did with No Hesitations. You get it all, you get the MMA fighting, but you also get the fairy tale love story evry young girl has every dreamed about. You get the hard as nails tough guy, who by all means, is a total sorry when it comes to the right woman. This story is the completion of Ryker and Whitney's story.
Before reading No Hesitations, make sure you read No Holds first. Trust me you won't regret it. I cannot wait for her next story. And trust me, you are going to want to read EVERYTHING she writes!

Absolutely stunning follow-up to No Holds! I'm not sure if I have the words to rate and review this book properly or to give Ms.Matson the praise she so richly deserves, but I'm damn sure going to try! Once again, we're surrounded by MMA fighter Ryker Hayes, his family, and the love of his life, Whitney. I didn't think we could get a deeper look into Ryker's psyche and personality, but Matson did just that in this book through her wonderful, descriptive words and use of backstory. Whitney's steadfast devotion and commitment to her man is awe inspiring, even after all endures. I love the use of the supporting characters in this book particularly, especially Levi and Paige. I adore Ryker and Whit, but cannot wait to see who Matson decides to write about next!

This series is a personal favourite of mine. Written with intensity, passion and emotion, it will keep you hooked.
After meeting Ryker and Whitney in "No Holds", you will want to devour this sequel to find out more about them and their relationship.
They face their toughest challenge in this book. It was heartbreaking to read but the author showed us how when you truly love someone with all your heart and soul, you will fight with all you have to preserve that. Ryker and Whitney are both strong and stubborn but know they are meant to be together.
TC Matson has delivered a story which is worthy of more than 5 stars.
I HIGHLY recommend this series to anyone who loves an Alpha Male hero, a strong heroine and secondary characters you will fall in love with.
FIVE STARS.

No Hesitations is the 5th book in TC Matson's fighter series. You don't need to have read the first 3 books but you will need to have read book 4 No Holds as this continues Ryker and Whitney's story.
No hesitations starts off where no holds finished. I was excited to continue reading about
Ryker and Whitney. This story had more drama which i really enjoyed and it kept me hooked. I was reading whenever i could because i needed to know what was going to happen.
Once again the characters are well written and i love the chemistry between Ryker and Whitney. #couplegoals. Candice was a great addition to the story, funny and had great banter with Kyce. Id love to see them get their own story.
No Hesitations is a real page-turner. You wont be disappointed.

5 "very persistent" stars
Another insanely addicting read by TC Matson. The win is so good when the struggle is so bad. It took me up and down, confused me and sorted me a million times, and I found a friend in Whitney and in her decision making like I never thought of before; never thought a character could be so much like myself.
I loved the new character. I feel like Carter is going to be a great addition to this story line. With a heart of gold and an ímpetu of steel he will be an incredible character to discover.
Loved every single second of this roller coaster.

Finally, the closure you needed for Ryker and Whitney because gah. I love Ryker, I really do. But, honestly, I have loved ALL the men TC has written in this series. What's not to love with Ryker? Strong, sexy as sin, loyal....sexy....but I digress. These two character's are perfect for each other, their love for each other is untouchable. TC has once again written a book in and outside the MMA world that just sucks you in and keeps you wanting more from these guys!!!
This is one of my absolute favorite series and go to reads in the land of Contemporary romance. You should definitely have no hesitations in choosing to read this series ;)

I had not read this author before and I can not believe I hadn't, I am all about MMA and loved this book, I also read No Holds before this which is a must to understand this one .
Ryker is the best around and he loves what he does he has the world in his hands and the love of his life Whitney in his arms , he had it all until she was threatened and he gave it all up to make sure she was safe , his love for her is more and means more to him than any championship.
Now that is true love to have everything and give it all up for your love.
If I could give this book more than 5 stars I would.

No Hesitation is the 5th book in TC Matson The fighter series. The conclusion to Ryker and Whitney. Let me just say I think Ryker is hands down the sweetest and most romantic guy. Truly a great man who loves with everything. Whitney is an amazing woman who love's the same way and is also strong. She goes thru a situation that is horrible. Together they go thru some trials in this book and they show how strong and meant for each other they are. Truly an amzing ending. I also love how Ryker and Levi come together in this book. Great read!
