About this eBook

I’ve craved his love for years, but I was invisible to him. Now that I’m ready to move on, he suddenly sees me. And he won’t let me go.

As the shy, plus-size twin sister of a professional cage fighter, I’m used to being overlooked. Including by the one man I’ve always yearned for. Leo ‘The Lion’ Delaney has trained alongside my brother for years. He’s all the things my brother isn’t—good, honorable, and protective. Not to mention he’s built like Goliath and tattooed to boot. It’s impossible not to want him, but he’s only ever looked at me with disdain.

Then, overnight, everything changes. My arrogant brother is revealed as a cheat and my family is even more focused on him than ever. But I’m no longer interested in playing second fiddle. It’s time to put myself first, and it all starts with proving I’m not the spoiled, thoughtless princess Leo seems to think I am. This curvy woman is about to take charge, and it seems he’s coming along for the ride.

Sparks fly, and before long I’m in deeper with Leo than I ever expected. But when a scandal rocks our fledgling relationship, will we be strong enough to hold onto the possibility of forever?

Author’s note: This is a short romance / novella with a complete standalone romance story of approximately 25,000 words.

Ratings and reviews

Fighter's Frenemy was a interesting read as it centered on Leo a MMA fighter who narrowly escaped scandle and Camile who is the twin sister of the MMA fighter who was involved in the scandal. Camile finds her voice and independence with her brothers arrest and Leo finally sees Camile for who she really is now that she is no longer overshadowed by her brother. The two start to get to know each other and soon give into the attraction that they have for each other. I loved camiles transformation and Leo's unwavering support in her endeavors.

This is the 4th book I've read written by A. Rivers; I can’t wait to read more of her books. This is the 1st book in the Crown MMA Romance: The Outsiders Series; it is a stand-alone short story. The story is about Camile & Leo; she’s had a crush on him for a long time but he’s never even looked at her; he’s a professional cage fighter and trains with her twin brother. She’s tired of taking the backseat and decides she’s going to make him finally take charge. I received a free copy of this book via booksprout and I’m voluntarily leaving a review.

A good read for such a short book. I like how the author introduced other characters without too much attention on them. There was just enough of everything to keep my interest without overdoing anything.
