From the New York Times bestselling author of the Ultimate series, an MMA fighter and a sassy stunner team up to take down trouble...

Sexy, sculpted extreme fighter Dean “Havoc” Connor has knee-melting good looks—and thick skin. But not from his brutal sport’s enclosed rings. Orphaned and torn from his sisters as a boy, he has no family. That is, until he gets a letter revealing how much the once-little girls want him back in Harmony, Kentucky.

To stop his sister from marrying a man as sleazy as he is wealthy, Dean finds himself teaming up with her pretty-but-smart-mouthed friend Eve—who’s heard of “Havoc’s” reputation and doesn’t need some hunk trampling on her heart. Now all Dean has to do is protect his sisters, win Eve over, and expose a devious criminal. And he thought winning the heavyweight cage fighting belt was hard…

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Orphaned at nine, Dean "Havoc" Conor has grown into a tough-as-nails extreme fighter happy to live a solitary life. When he receives a letter from his two little sisters, who he hasn't seen in the twenty years since their parents died, Dean reluctantly decides to honor their request and return home to Harmony, Ky. Once there, he finds that the aunt who raised his sisters has squandered most of their inheritance and that one of his sisters, Cam, is engaged to a sleaze named Roger. He also meets Cam's best friend, Eve Lavon, an opinionated beauty who already has the commitment-phobic Dean figured out. However, if Dean's going to drive off Roger and figure out why someone in Harmony is trying to kill him, he'll need Eve's help—and he'll have to confront his growing feelings for her. More interesting, though, is Dean's struggle to become the family man his sisters need, a transformation that Foster executes with skill, elevating the tight if typical romance plot with convincing, heartfelt family drama.

From Booklist

Dean "Havoc" Conor, a gorgeous "extreme" fighter, returns to Harmony, Kentucky, in response to a letter from one of his two estranged sisters. Camille needs money to repair their old home so she can sell it and marry a guy Dean dislikes immediately. The younger sister Jacki, 21, is still acting and dressing like a spoiled teenager, but she also has a quick wit and smart mouth, much like Dean himself. Then there's Aunt Lorna, who raised the girls with a heavy and humorless hand and spent their inheritance on herself. While all this is being revealed, Dean becomes smitten with Camille's best friend, Eve, and a fight buddy of his arrives and winds up falling for Jacki and helping put a new roof on the old house. In the end, Camille's fiance is redeemed, Aunt Lorna gets hers, and the guys get their women. Foster supplies good sex and great humor along the way in a thoroughly enjoyable romance reminiscent of Susan Elizabeth Phillips' novels. Mary K. Chelton

Where the love begins...

Havoc may not be the man who started it all for me, that award goes to Spencer from the Edge of Honor series. But Havoc began my intense love for MMA. In the books perfectly portrayed by the wonderful Lori Foster with the SBC, but also in real life with the UFC.
I had no idea the sport even existed until I read this book. I would never want to back.
The chemistry between Dean and Eve was explosive. I was melting and drooling while reading the first few scenes. But what really got me, was the intense love and reluctant protectiveness for his sisters. Dean will always hold a special place in my heart.
I highly recommend this book.
Happy reading!

Classic Lori Foster Romace!

Love, love, love this book!! Dean Havoc is everything a hero should be. He's gorgeous, sexy, strong, smart, honorable, and he has a soft heart under all of his brawn. He got a raw deal when he was young and ended up separated from his two younger sisters. He goes to see them after hearing from one of his sisters but is determined not to care about them and to just take care of business and leave. He meets Eve, his sister Cam's gorgeous best friend and decides to make a play for her. This book is classic Lori Foster, with romance, humor, suspense, and unforgettable characters! If you love romance books them his is one you should read!!

Awesome series...you won't be disappointed. Lori Foster is a mega talent in the Romance Book industry, and it's for a reason, she writes books that are pure gold. This is the first book in a series that I thoroughly enjoyed about boxers and the women they fall in love with. Of course there's tons of angst, egotistical men, beautiful woman, and shananigans to keep the reader on the edge of their seat. And danger, of course you can't forget about the danger! These hunky boxers do have to save those beautiful women in distress, now don't they? All the way around its a fun, suspenseful read!

Havoc and Eve make a wonderful couple. The storylines of Dean's sisters and their romances add great depth to this book. Learning more about fighting and that world is awesome and makes watching UFC even more exciting. The mystery woven through the story makes it even more riveting. Nobody writes kickass alpha heroes and strong heroines like Lore Foster. Creating the SBC world and all the fighters is an awesome place to set the greatest romances. I would recommend this story to any adult reader who enjoys an exciting and sexy read.

I am a huge fan of Lori Foster and can't get enough of her books. I bought this whole series and I am so glad I did. Book one is Dean and Eve's story. He's known as Havoc in the fighting circles and is a champion. As a young boy his parents died leaving him and his two young sisters in his aunt's care. She wants no part of him and ships him off to her brother's who raises him. Twenty years later he gets a letter from one of his sisters asking him to come home so they can meet him. He goes but resists the whole big brother act. As the story unfolds there is drama, danger and love. Excellent story you will want to read.

interesting, feel good story

Causing Havoc is a little like getting 3 romances in one. Dean/Havoc comes to town to visit his sisters & meets Eve on his first night in town. Instant attraction on both sides - and no games. They're both very open about how they feel. It was nice to have that right from the beginning. It's the same when, later, one of his sisters meets one of his friends & there is an instant connection. They have to go through some stuff, of course, but it's not drawn out & they are, again, very open with their communications, so things that could have been dragged out are not. This makes me happy - dragging things out CAN work, but more often than not, it just annoys me. : )

The blurb is a bit misleading - Eve hasn't heard of him, and doesn't have a problem w/ his reputation or anything like that.

The family dynamic & the romance is all very balanced & it's an engaging read. Quick & fun & very *ahem* noble. (I was gonna say "sweet" but Dean would say, "Don't say sweet." LOL

Not quite a five.

I'm glad I read the reviews before I read the book as I knew what to expect. It was a welcome change to have a book that the point of view was mostly from the man. I also was warned that this was not primarily a love story. SBC fighter Dean "Havoc" Conor receives a letter from a sister he thought had forgotten him when his uncle took him 20 years ago after the death of their parents. As it turned out, evil Aunt Lorna who had custody of the girls, refused to raise Dean, and told them that Dean wanted nothing to do with them and that there was no way to contact him.

Returning to town to meet his sisters he runs into Eve, a close friend of Cam & Jackie, who he is immediately attracted to. Dean comes to realize that he is part of a family, loved and wanted, if he can just let go of his fear of being hurt. It's great to see him opening up even though he fights it.

Why did I give it a 4?
1. Cam was naive and rather wimpy. In spite of the fact that Lorna had been cold when raising them and had stolen much of their inheritance she made excuses for her because she "did the best job she could". Bull.
2. Roger was a mean, self-centered, manipulative, unfeeling creature. I suppose we were supposed to sympathize with him in the end because of his childhood but give me a break! Cam loving him made no sense.
3. Way, way more information about Eve having her period that I ever wanted to know!

But this was a good start to the SBC series and I've already started "Simon Says".

if you like lori foster, you'll love this!

Dean and Eve's story is fast paced and laugh out loud in some places. Their relationships with the secondary characters (and their own little side stories) really brings this book to life.

If you haven't read this author before, this is a good example of her writing and one you'll thoroughly enjoy.
