UFC Middleweight fighter, Ryley Jameson, swore it would never happen again. He was done with his ex, and over the pain she’d inflicted when she left him. At least, that’s what he tells people. Maybe if he says it enough, he’ll begin to believe it himself.
Regretting her decision to let Ryley go, Ashleigh Warren comes back into town and confronts him. Holding only one secret back, she puts the rest on the line and asks for a second chance. Too bad he’s not going to let her off easy.
Camden Jameson loves his twin brother, but his jealousy runs deep. They may be identical in looks, but that’s where the similarities end. When Ashleigh comes back into Ryley’s life, Camden has the perfect opportunity for revenge. Two birds, one stone.
A journey to the Dark Side affects them all, but only one feels the true sting of revenge.

I received a copy in exchange for an honest review!
What I say (review): Ryley's Revenge is part of L.P. Dover's Gloves Off fighter series and I would recommend reading A Fighter's Desire first. I remember being a bit annoyed over how the story was left in A Fighter's Desire because I wanted more Ryley. Thankfully we get a whole load of him in Ryley's Revenge.
I'm not going to spoil the plot for you and quite frankly it's too complicated to cover in a few words here anyway. The book picks up their story after Ashleigh has walked away from Ryley. Ryley is left bitter and angry with fellow fighter and twin brother Camden (who really doesn't like Ashleigh). Not only is Ashleigh heartbroken, she also has a lot to deal with.
I'm a big fan of Ryley. Yes, he's brash, demanding and he can be kinda rude, but he's also dedicated, loyal and prepared to go to bat for Ashleigh. I've gotta admit I may have swooned at certain points. I liked Ashleigh much more this time. Although she still has moments of overreacting (they were both guilty of this), she is calmer and more considerate to Ryley's situation.
It's definitely an adult story and there are a lot of naughty, sexy scenes - it's defo not for the kids! I'm not a fan of smutty stories when there's no plot, but Ryley's Revenge does have an intriguing plot (I wanted to slap Camden a LOT of the time). There a few points when the plot did get a little complicated and didn't completely flow BUT it really didn't matter to the story and I was desperate for them to work through their issues to find a HEA!

Excerpt:
Smile fading, Camden whipped off his sunglasses and stood, glaring straight at me. For years, it was like looking at a mirror when my brother was around. Now, I could barely tell who he was.
“You want to talk about heading down the wrong path? Okay, let’s do this. What about you? The last thing you need to do is get caught up with that b**ch again. Did you forget that she left you for someone else? I’m trying to help you, brother.” His arms flew out to the sides. “You f**ked her, she f**ked you over . . . now move on.”
“Where’s my phone?” I asked, stressing each word.
Camden huffed and pointed toward the house. “It’s in your room. I’m warning you, don’t get involved with her.”
At first, I thought maybe he was trying to protect me, but looking into his calculating blue eyes, that wasn’t it at all. He had seriously turned into someone else. “And I’m warning you,” I snarled, standing nose to nose with him. He didn’t back down and I sure as hell wasn’t going to either. “Stay out of my life and leave Ashleigh alone. I don’t want to see or hear about you being anywhere near her. You got that?”
“So that’s it. You’re taking her back?” he asked, sounding disgusted.
“That’s none of your business.” Turning around, I stormed toward the house and yelled over my shoulder. “Just stay away from her!”

Where it all began - A Fighter's Desire (Pt 1):
Two is
always better than one.
What
would you do if you were given the chance to spend the night with not one, but
two fighters? Would you do it? Could you open yourself up to the pleasures they
offered and do exactly what they said in order to pass on to the next round?
It was
common knowledge that Ryley and Camden Jameson, well-known MMA fighters and
identical twins, were just as aggressive and passionate in the bed as they were
in the ring. The only problem was that if you didn’t pass their test on the
first night, then you didn’t proceed to the next round. They loved a good
fight, and that's what they got when they met Ashleigh Warren.
Ashleigh
knew what was going to happen when the twins approached her with a proposition,
and needless to say, she knew exactly how to handle them … or so she thought.
The rules had changed, and in order to get them both she had to first spend one
night with each and last until they were done with her. It was a proposition she
couldn’t refuse, but she knew it wouldn’t be easy to win. However, it was one
that she was going to enjoy.
