Taking Him Down edition by Meg Maguire Contemporary Romance eBooks

Oh this book was satisfying. It just hit it right for me. Sexy hero (and by sexy I mean big, muscly and a fighter) - check! Heroine with some stuff to figure out - check! Good background cast - check! Perfect hero who says and does everything right and is a billionaire - no check. Heroine with perfect body and all the right assets who has all the men falling all over her - umm no, the heroine's perfect body is not the focus of the story. Great steamy sex that the reader doesn't have to wait forever for - check! Am I the only one that likes these things in romance?

Hey it is probably obvious that when I like romance it is not with he millionaire dapper ideal hero. Rich, (not in money, just his name ..) the hero in this story, is definitely an ideal of sorts (physically, sexually) but he is a working class immigrant with an accent. Rich would not be the hero in 50 Shades; as the lead in Taking Him Down, he is very desirable. And I loved him. Love him.

The sex scenes are hot. But I think it is an established fact that nobody can write sex like Meg Maguire/Cara McKenna. I was on an airplane, my kindle fire battery ran out. I switched to my phone to try and finish up the scene, but then I had to turn off my phone because the plane was landing. This is not the book to have that happen!

Taking Him Down is the second in the Wilinski's series, which centers around a fight training club. Each book in this series, so far, has centered around a different couple. The first, Making Him Sweat, was about Jenna and Mercer. Taking Him Down centers around Rich and Lindsey.

If you have read Cara McKenna/Meg Maguire before than you know she writes flirt and spark like nobody else. The characters in her books are funny and flirt in such a fun way - Taking Him Down is no exception.

"You better find yourself a real traditional girl to marry."

"That would certainly please my mom." His smile softened. "Though personally I'd rather find a snarky feminist to roll around in my sheets with."

Taking Him Down isn't perfect. Okay, there is a silly mix-up that is used to create tension. But it is resolved quickly and it makes sense - maybe I shouldn't call it silly. The couple take a long time to realize what they are to each other, and yeah that can be frustrating. But I guess that is standard in romance novels. So those are the not so perfect parts of this book.

Taking Him Down is a sequel to or a follow-up to Making Him Sweat, but in my opinion, it is better than Making Him Sweat. For me it was better because of the hero, Rich made this story. And the really good news? There is a sequel coming out in October.

Mixed-martial arts fighter Rich "Prince Richard" Estrada is rising rapidly though the MMA ranks. Matchmaker Lindsey Tuttle has become a big fan of the Lynn, Massachusetts hunk. When they begin a heated encounter, he abruptly ends it leaving her confused.

During a submission victory over Moreau, Rich breaks his foot so comes home to Wilinski's Fight Academy in Boston while he heals. There he and Lindsey begin a rematch in what ended as a no decision while he also trains her sister in MMA. As Rich and Lindsay fall in love, he knows he must submit his heart to her as proof of his sincerity though he fears a rejection will leave him out for the count.

The second Wilinski's Fight Academy MMA romance is a fun contemporary starring two protagonists who were support players in round one (see Making Him Sweat). Though much of the heat is off-page and mindful of Lori Foster's SBC Fighters' series, fans will enjoy this thrilling bout between the matchmaker and the fighter.

Meg Maguire has solid writing skills, but I found this book to have weak character development and a plodding plot. I generally like sports romance, but this one fell flat for me.
I love Meg Maguire! Her characters have such chemistry that they are a joy to read. It was very sweet and steamy!
I really enjoyed this book. I read it all in one sitting this morning. The hero is sexy as hell but also vulnerable and caring. He gets a little "caveman" at times but then immediately acknowledges the behavior, and he's never an alpha-a-hole. The heroine is smart, capable, and not too stuffy to admit she likes MMA mostly for the hot guys. I liked them seperately and I liked them as a couple. The writing was great, humorous, and at times very emotional and evocative.

Also, I must say, the sex scenes in this are REALLY well written without being too long or taking away from the plot. A++

My only niggle is I was hoping for a Big Finale at the hero's Big Fight, so the ending felt a little quiet, a little anti-climatic. But, on the whole, I just loved this and will definitely be reading more from this author. Especially if she writes more in this series!
