Synopsis:

Even when she won’t fight for us, I’ll go to war for her…

Inside the Octagon, I have no fear. I’m at home, in my element, inflicting pain onto men trained to hurt me just as badly. Making them submit, knocking them out, maiming them, because it’s them or me. And I choose them. Outside the Octagon, my only weakness is a five-foot-two, classy as fuck woman that I’ve loved for most of my life. She’s the one that brings me to my knees, fills my arms, my heart, and one day soon, my bed. She makes me reckless. Volatile. I drink too much and try too hard to fuck my way out of feeling—all because of her. Frankie De Rosa is my girl, my best friend. I haven’t earned her yet, but I won’t stand by and let anyone take her from me. She will be the greatest fight of my life, but she’s worth the battle. Love hurts, but anything worth having does, right? I’m Deacon “The Hitman” Love — Welcome to the Cage.

About the Author

Mandi Beck has been an avid reader all of her life. A deep love for books always had her jotting down little stories on napkins, notebooks, and her hand. As an adult she was further submerged into the book world through book clubs and the epicness of social media. It was then that she graduated to writing her stories on her phone and then finally on a proper computer. A nursing student, mother to two rambunctious and somewhat rotten boys, and stepmom to two great girls away at college, she shares her time with her husband in Chicago where she was born and raised. Mandi is a diehard hockey fan and blames the Blackhawks when her deadlines are not met. Love Hurts is her debut novel and she is currently working on the next in the series along with whatever other voices are clamoring for attention in her mind.

Love Hurts by Mandi Beck
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sometimes fighting for love is the hardest fight we have to face.
This is one super hot love story. I found myself glued to the pages and could not put it down! I love books about fighters and their total alpha hotness, and Deacon, well he is the ultimate. Deacon is hot and determined to make Frankie his. I loved the backstory to this, how all of the characters grew up together and how Deacon and Frankie are bffs, he knows her better than she may even know herself. The story opens with a bang and near tragedy that really puts Deacon’s love for Frankie to the forefront of everything, he won’t deny his love for her any longer. “I’m not me without her. I’ll fight for her to come back to me. I’ll fight hard enough for both of us if I have to, and I’ll love her even harder.” Deacon is a champion Fighter but fighting for Frankie is for sure the toughest fight of his life, part of it is his own fault because he always seems to mess things up for himself but his intense love for Frankie is clear as day. I don’t want to give anything away but I will say that Andrew and Cristiano as well as Veronica are characters that I absolutely hate and will good reason! And just as this book opened with a bang it ended with one hell of a bang, and I am left dying to know what is going to happen next. Yes there is a cliffhanger ending but a really good one. I hope it doesn’t take too long for the next book to come out! I’m also not sure what direction this series is headed in but I’d love to eventually see books about the rest of the Loves. So, if you love crazy hot alphas then I’d say what are you waiting for?? Get it, read it, enjoy it!
