With a sick, illegal immigrant mother, a dead father, and a younger sister to provide for, struggle has become second nature to Grace. What she doesn’t know how to do, is hope or dream. Those are two things you don’t have the luxury of doing when you work three jobs to support your family.
However, when fate sends her a lucky hand, will she be able to let go of the past long enough to get out of the underground fighting ring and make it in the UFC? Or will she allow her past to haunt her, and her guilt to bury her right along with her dreams?
This isn’t your average love story. Sometimes, the princess saves the prince. And sometimes, the best person to choose to love, is yourself.

This is the first full length book by Carsen also only the
second book by Carsen. There is a prequel for the series. I didn’t read it and
I wasn’t aware there was one before I started reading this book. Grace hasn’t
had it easy. Her father taught her to fight but she thought it was just for self-defense.
Then her father died and it was the only way to support her family. She carries
so much guilt about fighting for money when she knows her mother doesn’t like
it and she thinks she is disappointing her father’s memory. Then she gets the
chance of a life time. A chance to join the UFC. Grace gets a clothing line
deal, a chance to join the UFC, and a new trainer. In the midst of this she
also makes a new friend at the gym, Harvard. This book is an emotional ride for
Grace. She must face her feelings about fighting. She is going through some self-discovery
as well. She has always had to be focused on providing for her family that she
never got to figure out who she is or wants to be. The other characters in this
book help her find herself as well help her see what she is capable of. This book
was a bit slow for me. There wasn’t really any action moments. This is more of
an introspective type book. It was an interesting read. I don’t know if I will
continue to read the series or not at this point. Great job Carsen.
