A bad boy who lives outside the law. A compassionate soul focused on helping others. Sometimes rules are meant to be broken... for love.

Caden
Helping my brother was my focus. He got into trouble and I’ve been using my skills in the ring to prevent loan sharks from breaking his kneecaps... or worse.
Until I met Noah.
He’s a good man who makes me want to be better. A man who doesn't lace up his gloves and step into underground rings. But I have one last fight coming. This time the stakes are higher than ever. What I have to do to save my brother could cost me the man I’m falling for.

Noah
I should have walked away and never looked back when I first met the MMA fighter with honey-gold eyes. Yet Caden’s charms are too appealing to ignore. As a social worker it's important for me to keep my nose clean.
And Caden is a red flag in every way.
Still, he’s hot as sin and I can't seem to stay away. I’m taking a risk by opening myself up to him, but I'm convinced beneath that bad boy exterior beats the heart of a good man who is worth the fight.

Worth the Fight is an opposites attract MM romance. It is book one of the Winning at Love series, a collection of standalone gay romance stories featuring MMA fighters and hockey and football playing heroes. Expect different tropes like enemies to lovers, GFY/bi-awakening, forbidden romance, single dads, found families and happily ever afters.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet story about fighting for love
Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2023

If there’s one thing I love about a sports romance, it’s the actual scenes describing sport. I don’t only mean in the bedroom. I mean actual, realistic depictions.

The fight scenes in this book were excellently described. They were very realistic and vivid, and I more than once sensed the sound of flesh colliding with flesh or sensed the metalic smell of blood.

The love story was very sweet - on the surface opposites attract but both MCs have experienced loss in life and are seeking a deeper connection with someone. To Caden, the fighter, it is insta-lust when he encounters the more reluctant Noah, the social worker with a heart of gold. However, Noah doesn’t need a lot of convincing.

I really loved the chemistry between Noah & Caden. The need and will to make this relationship work in spite of difficulties. Compromise becomes the keyword for these two as especially Noah accepts parts of Caden, which he’s always regarded as deal breakers.

There was a sweetness to this low-steam romance, which we don’t often see in romance anymore. There was an insistance on making this relationship work, which I found very realistic and frankly quite moving.

So, here we go:
Plot: 🩷🩷🩷🩷
Steam: ❤️‍🔥
Swoon: 💕💕💕
Angst: 😨

Bonus points: the cactus scene! 🫠🫠🫠
And the fact that Denver Shaw is a great writer. I love her style, the flow and the banter.

I can’t wait to read the next in the series ☺️🩷

5.0 out of 5 stars An MMA fighter involved in illegal fights falls for a heart of gold social worker.
Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2023
First in series (Winning at Love). Instalove. Slow burn. POC representation. Dual POV. MMA fighter Caden is instantly attracted to the stunning Noah when he sees him at his fight and makes every effort to get to know him better. Noah is a workaholic social worker with no time for dating, but Caden slips through his walls because under the tough confident fighter is a sweet protective man. This story was instantly engaging due to outside forces revolving around their lives, both Caden and Noah have emotional backgrounds and family that support them or they are supporting which helps to explain their personalities and motivations. Strength of character, loyalty, commitment, strong morals embody both Caden and Noah. An interesting secondary cast of characters and problems to overcome together gave this story depth. Caden is dedicated in his pursuit of Noah, and Noah does not lower his hopes and expectations in order to be with Caden. Two deserving men that find a partner and get their swoony HEA. 4.5 rounded up

3.0 out of 5 stars Noah and Caden
Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2023
I really liked this couple. Caden and Noah are interesting characters, I liked their chemistry and banter as they get to know each other. I also appreciated how careful and deliberate Noah approaches a possible relationship with Caden. It’s pretty slow burn, which worked for these two. It also has some well done side characters, Sampson, Noah’s mother, and La Rosita all added a lot to the story for me. I would have liked more focus on the relationship, a bit more development on that part of the book (because I did genuinely enjoyed them together). Overall, this was an engaging read, fun couple, not too much angst, and a really sweet ending.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Family first.
Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2023
Caden will do anything to protect his brother. He enters underground fights to earn money to repay loansharks, so they won't harm his brother. Noah, is a social worker who must stay above board and legal in order to maintain his reputation. He is attracted to Caden and understands the risks. Caden wants to win, by any means necessary putting a lot on the line. Noah, tries to resist Caden, but the pull is strong. The conflict, dilemma and questions drive the story and as a reader, I enjoy the passenger seat. Absolutely likeable characters and excellent story flow. Nicely done. I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This had a really interesting story and plot however I never really got invested in the characters. I did love the concept of Caden being a boxer and MMA fighter and Noah being a social worker trying to make the world better. Two opposites attracted to one another in this rough environment.

Worth the Fight is book 1 in the brand new Winning at Love Series by a new-to-me author. It centers around social worker, Noah, and MMA fighter, Caden. Noah is straight-laced but drawn to the gorgeous cage fighter. Caden is fighting dirty to save his brother but all he wants is Noah. These two navigate some major push and pull for half the book but their chemistry is constantly simmering in the background. Their love was genuine and sweet and passionate.

So I REALLY like both MCs. Noah is true to himself and seems compassionate and sincere in everything he does. Caden is bound by familial pulls but is the best guy deep down. He’s willing to do what he can to win Noah over and even though Noah fights it, he can’t resist the pull eventually.

This honestly felt more plot heavy. Noah job as a social worker, his past with his father, Caden’s family, and Noah’s protection of Austin are all more page time than the romance. But there’s quite a few sexy times and while I wish we got more on page relationship development, I enjoyed the story.

4.0 out of 5 stars sweet sweet Noah and hunky Caden

💕 Noah. Sweet, sweet Noah Monroe. A BIPOC social worker with a heart of goal. Loves his mother and has never gotten over the death of his father 10 years ago. His devotion to Austin, one of his former teen cases is beautiful, and shows just how important his work is.
In comes MMA fighter Caden Jones. Caden takes to Noah immediately, but despite his fierce desire to keep his nose clean, he loves his brother. Enough to break the rules. Enough to die for him if need be.
I love that Noah has a fierce sense of integrity. He’s seen what breaking the rules can lead to and it’s nothing good. Despite his pull to Caden, he will not be swayed. But Caden is an enigma. Second chances, third chances. Can he prove to Noah that they are meant to be? And when Noah truly needs Caden, he’d do just about anything for him. Is that enough for everlasting love?
