My name is Lucas “The Ghost” Esparza.
I’m the best MMA fighter in the world that you’ve never
heard of, but if I have my way, I’ll be a household name soon enough. My life’s
been nothing but hard training, crazy partying, and fast women, and that’s just
how I liked it. No man had ever gotten the better of me inside the cage, and no
woman had ever been able to slow down my lifestyle outside of it.
And then it all came crashing down.
When I tasted defeat for the first time in the biggest fight
of my life, I was a broken man—my pride destroyed and my dreams of greatness
deferred.
That’s when Mila walked into my gym.
When my trainer told me I had to giver her self defense
lessons because she was a ‘special case’, I had no idea what he meant. All I
knew was that she had a body to die for, and a face that made me forget my own
name. I’d been with my share of women, but she was easily the sexiest I’d ever
laid eyes on.
There was only one problem—we hated each other with a
passion!
I thought she was whiny with a bad attitude.. She thought I
was full of myself. But then something happened that changed everything between
us. She gave me the confidence to pursue my dreams once again—to be a champion,
to make it into the UFC, to be the savage gentleman that I was born to be.
With an introverted mind and a sarcastic sense of humor,
Christopher Harlan has been many things throughout his life. He started life as
a mixed up mixed kid, like his protagonist, Logan, in his bestselling Young
Adult novel “Away From Here”, and now spends his days writing stories. He’s
published over 15 books in contemporary romance and young adult, and has no
plans of stopping anytime soon. The one constant in his life has been his love
of a good book, and his passion for telling stories. He was born and raised in
Queens, New York.

Savage Gentleman is my first book that I have read by this author and draws you into the MMA world. Lucas is meant for the UFC until something detours him this path. While dealing with this and his private lessons at the gym, he didn’t expect that he would experience more than just a ‘special case’ when it came to Mila. You can feel the sparks between these two and while Mila is hesitant and for good reason, Lucas does something he never thought he’d do. Starts to think of a woman besides his fighting world. Sometimes it is those moments that you least expect to change the course of your life. People are put into your path to change your pattern when the time is right and the time is now for both Mila and Lucas. You can only stay a ‘Ghost’ for so long so now it’s time for Lucas to shine in more ways than one.
I love some of the secondary characters, Matt “the second”, Master Splinter (too funny) and Damien. I’m hoping that the way the book ended that this means more in the MMA romance and that we see what happens after the fight. If you enjoy MMA romance and mentors this book is for you.
