TWO WOMEN COMPETE IN A MEN’S WORLD FOR RECOGNITION & LOVE

Review:

The Clinch is my first read by Nicole Disney and it certainly won’t be the last. If I could give this more than five stars, I absolutely would. This book is everything I wanted, and more.

I’m not usually someone who reads sports-related books, but I do try to read LGBTQ+ representation as often as possible, and their plot line of this sounded absolutely intriguing.

The Clinch deserves the hype I saw on goodreads. It was gripping and had me on the edge of my seat. As someone who isn’t well-versed in MMA, I thought this was so well written. I could visualize the fights; from the punches to the crowds. It was really exciting to read.

The characters are fantastically developed and I was in love the the chemistry between the main characters. A bit steamy, and a progressive relationship that didn’t feel forced or rushed.

I could keep rambling, but I’m going to end this review with: The Clinch may be my favorite read of the year, so far. I highly recommend giving it a shot.
