Publisher's summary

MMA middleweight world champion Jackson "Jax" Malone has just entered the fight of his life. Known for his viciousness in the cage, and his playboy ways out of it, Jax is arrested and charged with a brutal rape. The thought of spending decades in prison is one of the few things that actually scares the shit out of this cocky fighter.

Newly admitted attorney Page Davenport is willing to do anything it takes to get out from under her father's thumb and finally prove herself in his law firm - anything except represent the infamous miscreant, Jackson "The Mauler" Malone. Despite her protests, Page is powerless to avoid becoming the sacrificial lamb, the token female, who will be the face of the violent, angry neanderthal's defense team.

Jax is a bad boy with a temper, doing whatever the hell he wants in life while flipping the bird at all his haters. Page is the prim and proper rich debutante her parents want her to be. They've been pulling her strings, telling her what to do, where to go to school, what to wear, and even who she should marry.

Page and Jax struggle to work together, engaging in a knockdown drag-out fight for dominance. When they finally stop taking swings at each other, they're both surprised to realize that sometimes first impressions are completely wrong. In fact, opposites really do seem to attract. However, there are lines that attorneys and their clients can never cross if Page wants to keep her license to practice law.

Will Page risk it all and submit to the cocky fighter? Or will Jax's temper and jealousy prove too much for her to take on outside of the courtroom?

Either way, one thing is for sure - neither Page nor Jax are going down without a fight. In the end, the secret for them to find heaven may be to battle their way through hell first.

4 Jax Stars


Hot and Cocky totally describes this book, it was a perfect book to read after having read a very angsty kind of book brought me right back in to the land of hot hero’s ;)

Jax and Page together make magic. I love how Page isn't sure about him in the beginning but Jax being Jax grows on her, but what was fun to listen to was how Page grew on Jax.

I love the dynamic between both Jax’s brother with not only Jax but with Page, and Page’s brother with Page and the other brothers. I hope that wasn't too confusing.


Fabulous narration, I am a fan of Aaron Shedlock. So having him in my ears…delicious!

*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

Love a Cocky Fighter

What a good book! It was hot and cocky and all around a fun book to listen too! Jax starts off being a cocky jerk, Page starts off acting like a clueless new lawyer with no backbone at all but then they both change! He becomes a sweet and sex guy who just wants everyone to believe him and Page finally go for what she wants no matter what her family thinks. Their relationship is snarky but hot. They had great sexual tension.

The narration was great! Aaron Shedlock did a fantastic job. I probably would have loved this Audiobook more if it had dual narration but since it didn't, Aaron was the way to go!

JAX

Any additional comments?

This was a really good book by Lane Hart The story line was interesting and the characters were well developed. I read the book through in one sitting because I had to know what happened. Well worth the time to listen to the audiobook.

Sexy, Hot And A Great Plot…..


…. What's not to love about this audio!

My first Lane Hart story and WOW did she impress me with a captivating plot, steamy sex scenes and characters I both loved and hated. I appreciated Hart building up the chemistry and sexual tension between Jax and Page and not just delivering another insta-love story. Jax and Page had a rocky start, but as they worked together, the chemistry and sexual tension between them exploded. Add in the taboo attorney client relationship, the court drama, great supporting characters, and an "ex" who is up to no good, this was an entertaining story with a few plot twists that keeps the story moving at a steady pace.

Aaron Shedlock's performance was great! He has a pleasant voice and narrates at just the right pace. I normally listen to all audiobooks at 1.25x the speed to help reduce the long pauses and breaks, but with Aaron's pace, I was able to listen to this audio at the normal speed which was a plus for me. Kudos! Job well done!

I enjoyed listening to Jax and would recommend it to any romance junkie. It was well worth the time, and I'm looking forward to listening to Jude's story in book two. I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator.

Audio That Lives Up to the Cover Art

This was a many-layered romance that starts with the framing of an uber alpha MMA fighter man-slut by an unhinged and unethical skank. Enter a young newbie attorney with a chip on her shoulder, and sparks fly. Add in her very lame "support group" and his awesome family for tension and humor, and throw in some courtroom drama and unexpected events, and this was an awesome listen that I stayed up way too late to finish. Totally credit-worthy. Can't wait to dig into Jude's story next.

Aaron Shedlock gave a great performance. His voice is very smooth and easy to listen to. I had no problems with his character voices or his inflection, and his comedic timing and ability to tap into the feelings of the text were perfect. Since it's my review, and my pet peeve is mispronunciation, yeah- OK, there were a couple of very minor ones, but they weren't enough to be considered a distraction from the story, so no loss of star. Overall, he did a great job and is the perfect choice for this series.

He's Ruggedly and Dangerously Handsom

Page Davenport recent law school graduate works in her family law firm with dad, uncle, brother. Her dad takes on a criminal case for MMA Fighter, Jackson Malone (Jax) who is accused of raping and strangling a woman. Page's dad uses her as a media prop since a female attorney will look good in rape case. But her dad intends to hand the case over to their criminal attorney in a few weeks but keep Page as a prop for the case.

There's a lot of tension between Page and Jax when they first meet mainly because she has already made negative opinions about him. Jax says he's innocent and when Page starts digging into the case she starts changing her opinion. This is their story...

This book is full of action, suspense, mystery, intrigue, some funny scenes, twists, a few Oh No's, romance and sex. All of my qualifications for an excellent and entertaining book.

Jax's brother Jude, which is the second book, has a moderate part in this book and I loved him. Jude is funny and very likeable. He antagonizes Jax and it's so funny.

This is my first book by Lane Hart and I'm looking forward to more books in the series.

Aaron Shedlock gave a captivating and fun performance.

Worth Credit/$$ Absolutely. I will listen to this book over and over.

I really appreciated the way this story gets right to the point. No dragging out back stories telling me about the great aunt that gave her advice once upon a time. Really it's my kind of book Alpha male Sassy heroine finds the man she loves. Hot sex and a asshole ex that gets just what he deserves. LOVED IT

Fun!

I found this to be a really fun read. I really liked the characters, or really didn't like the ones that weren't likable. And, I felt Jude stole the show. There were parts here and there that hovered on the line of realistic, but were definitely possible. But, the story flowed very well.
And, the narration?! This was my first Aaron Shedlock listen and I was very impressed. His female voice was amazing, his characterizations spot on, and he was just totally engaged. He pulled you in right from the beginning. And, he has a very nice voice to listen to. Having a great voice and knowing how to use it is narrator gold. I am definitely a fan. Although the description made me wonder if this was a dark book, it wasn't by any means. It was light and fun for the most part, but not so much so that it would be total fluff. I totally enjoyed it.

More Than a Cage Fight

This was so much more than a cage fighter book, and it deserved a better cover. I honestly thought it would be pretty light with some hot sex but it was SO MUCH MORE...

This was my first Lane Hart book but it won't be my last. She created a multifaceted plot with multidimensional characters. The witty banter, the sexual tension, playfulness and finally the hot and sexy scenes all came together to make this an unforgettable listen.

Shedlock's narration was perfect for the book. I enjoyed listening to Jax and recommend it to any romance lovers. It was so good I'm eagerly awaiting Jude's story... hey Jude! When can I listen to your story?
