First, I have to say that I am so glad I stuck with this series. The first one was a bit iffy, the last one was pretty good, and this one is even better. Was it cheesy and predictable and maybe a little ridiculous?



Did I love it anyways? Hell yeah!

I have no regrets.

I have loved Nora from the moment she was introduced. I liked her backstory, it gave her character so much depth and strength. Nora was a character I could easily relate to (except for the whole crazy bookie thing). Of course, like all his brothers, Kane was a hero. He came in and swept her problems away, but still gave her independence.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. I'm excited to see whose story we get next!

A 3.5 on this one, but I rounded up because I like the series a great deal. This was slightly cliche. I am not sure this book would have held my interest if the rest of the characters weren't in it.

I'm always in for a sports romance, and MMA has recently been added to my favorites list along with football, baseball, and hockey. Becoming a Legend was told in dual POV- I always love getting into the heads of both the main characters because it makes the story so much more real to me. I loved Kane from the start- he was so confident and driven to succeed and I adored how he wanted to take care of Nora. Poor Nora had such a terrible time dealing with her mom, I felt terrible for what she had to deal with. I enjoyed them together so much- they were fun and flirty and so sweet. Although this is third in a series, it read fine as a standalone to me since the author was new to me. I do want to go back and read the first two books to try to fill in some gaps in my understanding of character backstories. It was an enjoyable book and I hope the author gives up a glimpse of Kane and Nora in future books in the story.

Another great story in this series. Becoming a Legend was enjoyable, sweet, engaging and grabbed my attention from the start. With little angst, some lighthearted moments and hot ones too. And as always the characters were fantastic. Not just the main two Nora and Kane but the entire Kavanagh clan and anyone who is a fan of MMA Romance will really enjoy this.

Kane the Killer Kavanagh and Nora's story! The 3rd so far in the series and can be read as a standalone. Sexy scenes with a lot of back and forth between Kane and Nora. Drives you crazy but it's so good!!! I highly recommend this series! The writing is impeccable and free from errors. Reviewed through Netgalley.

This is my favorite of the Kavenough brothers books. Kane and Nora start off bickering until they work out a friends with benefits arrangement. The book combines enemies to lovers with friends to lovers, with a dash of angst.

*ARC received from Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review*

Another good installment to this series. I liked Kane a great deal, even if it took him a while to get his head out of his butt and admit his feelings. I liked Nora and the way she handled situations at the center for kids, but her mommy issues bugged me. I am more of a 'if you don't like me, leave me the hell alone' person, so it's hard for me to connect with Nora doing so much to earn her mom's (nonexistent) love and attention. But she was still a great girl. Kane was willing to sacrifice a whole lot for Nora in the end and it just improved my view of him a lot. The sexy time was hot and you didn't have to wait long for it. You also get to catch up on wedding planning and stuff with the previous books' couples, which was nice. The book was 3 stars, but I'm putting 4 because although I rated the previous 2 books 3 stars as well, something gets me excited about continuing this series, so I think that deserves an extra star.

I loved this particular book and i loved Kane very much... More than the previous brothers, even though that all of them were wonderful!!!
But I will wait for Quinn's turn because i have this feeling that his turn will be also great!!!!
The thing is that the Kavanaugh brothers are awesome and the same goes for their women!
