Review
5 Rounds was the enemies-to-lovers goodness I was hoping it would be.
The tension and banter between Remy and Tristan was off the charts! They had terrific sexual tension, and seeing them fight their attraction and feelings for one another was half the fun of this book.
I will admit that there were times when both Remy and Tristan got on my nerves. Neither of them really had the greatest relationship with themself, and I wish the book had dealt with that just a little more. However, Remy and Tristan were strong characters and fought hard for others. I am glad that they each made the other shine, though. I also love how MMA was so seamlessly woven into the story.
I can’t wait to read more books by Nikki Castle!
