REVIEW: Tyler's Undoing by L.P.Dover

This first in Dover's Gloves Off series.  Tyler Rushing is one of the UFC's top heavyweight fighters.  Sexy and with memorable ring prowess, he's ready to claim the fame he deserves.  Tyler's never had a problem getting the women he's wanted, until Kacey Andrews.  When she walks through the door of his gym, Tyler is instantly enamored but there's just one glitch, Kacey doesn't want anything to do with him.

Kacey weathers the storm of someone far older. Estranged from her mother and brother, she also cares for her dying grandmother. Roped into visiting a local gym, Kacey is intrigued by and attracted to Tyler but fights these feelings, especially since her brother Kyle is his greatest foe. The real question is whether this secret will undo their relationship or bring about even more complications.

Not a bad first in the series but the writing and story were just 'ok' for me.  The plot and character development are pretty predictable. Tyler can be charming but also a hot headed, testosterone laden jerk.  Kacey is mature in a lot of ways but all too naive and the victim in others. Kyle is the stereotypical evil rival but he might have redemption potential in a future book.

The audiobook was so-so.  I'd probably read others in the series but I'm not in a big hurry.

Final rating: 3 out of 5 stars
