Book Description:
Fighter Michael "Mallet" Manchester is on the verge of being an SBC (Supreme Battle Challenge) fighting champion. But before he can step into the cage for a shot at the title, a car accident destroys his dream. His right leg is so severely damaged that the doctors tell him he'll need extensive physical therapy just to walk. Fighting is out of the question. His career has been his life, and now that life is over.

Then Kayli Raine appears. She's a tougher woman than Mallet is used to, but he's immediately captivated by her. What he doesn't expect is for her to offer him a second chance at becoming whole. And even though Mallet thinks it's the drugs talking, he accepts her challenge....

If you are a fan of the SBC series; Causing Havoc, Simon Says, etc., don't expect this to be the same. This is a sci-fi futuristic time travel flik using a character from the SBC series. I had been waiting for this release and even pre-ordered it. I was SO! disappointed. Not what I was looking far.

I am a huge fan of Lori, and even like her new paranormal "Servant" series. This one is a little different than her other SBC stories, and you would never know it by reading the back cover, which is why I think a lot of readers were a little confused after reading it. While it is part of the SBC series, it deals very little with the other SBC books. I would classify it more as a Fantasy romance, instead of her usual contemporary romance, which is why Lori has added a special note to her website that she is not leaving the genre that made her a bestselling author.
I gave this book 3 stars. I liked the main characters, but just did not get into the story like I usually do with her other SBC books (Simon Says is still my fav). I have to say I was a little disappointed after reading this anxiously awaited story. If this is your first Lori Foster, this is unlike any of her other books, if not then just be forwarned for something a little different.

I was a little diappointed when I read reviews that the book I had been so looking forward to involved time travel and not the comtemporary SBC storyline that I was expecting. After reading the book, I thought it was very well done. It was a fast read and I liked the characters although the ending was easily predicted. Overall, not my favorite Foster book but it was still enjoyable.

This book was a little different than Lori's other SBC books, but I thought it was very good. Be prepared as it is nothing like the other SBC books and borders on science fiction. I really liked the book though.

I loved this book! I don't really get the negative comments left about it by others... yes, this book has a science fiction quality to it, but it is not Isaac Asimov.
This book may not appeal to all, but it is my cup of tea. Highly entertaining and truly does reflect Lori's style. Of course, I do like sci-fi. I found the characters were consistent throughout the novel and very endearing.

After reading posted reviews, I was prepared for the differences in this SBC series. However, the story was quick fun read - different yes but since I knew about the change, not unpleasant!

Big disappointment! I don't mind the paranormal genre, but when I'm buying a book that sounds like a contemporary romance & it turns into some weird science fiction book that doesn't have much at all to do with the SBC series I was expecting......blech!

If you've been waiting for this one, I strongly suggest skipping it. It might be Lori Foster, but it just isn't worth it!

This is not your usual Lori Foster book. It is more science fiction than her regular contemporary books. If you are reading Lori Foster for the first time please do not judge her writing on this book alone. I read the whole book but this is not my kind of story. I like her contemporary novels. I can only give this 3 stars. I hope she does not switch to this science fiction or paranormal as she is writing under a different name. Not my kind of book I expect from Ms. Foster.

This book was a total bust! A stab at futuristic writing? If so, Lori, forget about it.

Lori Foster was the author who turned me on to reading in general and romance more specifically. I was counting down the days till this release. I was very disappointed. I only made it to the third chapter. I enjoy the straight forward contemp. romances. I do not enjoy reading books based in a futuristic setting, thus I did not enjoy this book. Lori Foster is an excellent writer and I hope she returns to write the novels we love and enjoy.

I love Lori Foster's SBC fighter series. Heck, I just plain love Lori Foster books. However, this one should fall under the paranormal catagory, which is so not my cup of tea. Too weird, too unlikely--just a huge what the heck is going on here. I am sad, because I had high hopes for Michael--seemed like a good story was gonna happen, then it just got weird. Sorry Lori, next time, try and stay on earth!

Good book, but it you really need to read the first three books in the series first.

Lesa C. (4fabfelines) wrote on 8/26/2009...


This is a cute love story. It does have quite a bit of language so be forewarned.
Mallet Manchester is in the hospital, his fighting career is over. His legs are irreparably smashed.
Along comes a slight blonde beauty that promises him health and wholeness if he would come with her.
Is he mad or hallucinating? Is Kayli real or just a product of a pain hazed mind?
He choses to go with her and find the life he's always wanted.

interesting story. enjoyed reading.

This is the fourth book in the SBC Fighters series, however the book really detours from the other three in the series. This one is set in a different world and the only connections between this book and the others is the main character Michael ("Mallet"). I did enjoy this book--I actually read it before reading the others--so I wasn't as disappointed as other readers who were looking for a continuation of the series. While I do not usually gravitate towards paranormal/science fiction romances, I did find this one enjoyable and captivating. Lori Forster is a top-notch romance writer--her books usually deliver--this one certainly did! It was a fantastic read from one great author!

I didn't finish the book and I was disappointed. This contains time travel which paranormal, fantasy or scifi readers will enjoy this book. I do not enjoy those types of books and Lori Foster generally writes under a different name when it is paranormal/fantasy. So if you think it is going to be like Havoc and Simon - you will be disappointed. I am going to read the reviews on her next book before I will get the book. I do not want to waste my time and money again. However, paranormal, fantasy or scifi readers -you may want to check it out.

I have loved all of Lori Foster's books to date. I was very excited to see this book continuing the fighters' series. Unfortunately, I was really disappointed with the results. This was totally different than her usual style, and not in a good way. I have kept quite a few of her other books, but this one I listed. There was little humor, little "heat," and I stopped reading it several times. I only kept reading it because I thought it might get better - it never did. Hopefully this is just a "blip" in her writing, and that the next book will be back to her usual quality and style.

I am a big fan of Lori Foster normally but this book was terrible. Set in a bizarre "future" world, nothing flowed, nothing clicked and I couldn't even force myself to finish it. Save your credits for something else.
