I have never read about female boxing before. The career of Rose sounds very interesting and motivating to people. Thank you for the interesting review.

This book is the second of a series about Rosa and her rise to championship boxing. The official review was good but it could have been more thorough. The book received 3 stars probably due to a lack of depth in the story.

It'll be interesting to read about a female boxer, but even more interesting to find out how she handles her relationship turmoil while preparing to face her challenger. Great review.

Boxing does not interest me. Besides, I am also not interested in starting a series in the middle. I won't be reading this book but there are many readers out there looking for this kind of motivational books. I hope this book receives the recognition it deserves.

Do we need to read the first installment? I don't really feel good about reading a second book before the first. Lol. Also, I'm not really into sports but Rose's story seems so motivating and relatable. It looks like she's an amazing character. I'll put this in my TBR shelf for now.

Emotional distress or psychological turmoil should not be ignored. They should be dealt with if you want to be full physically functional. The review is enticing and great.

This book follows the story of Rose, a woman with a boxing career. There’s a lot of strong contenders to fight with as well as challenges in her personal life. Congrats on BOTD!

This storyline is intriguing: a woman who fights with her hands inside the ring and with her heart outside the ring. Rose sounds likable.
Great review.

Strong female lead + sport novels are the best! The review covered all the aspects the reader would want to know about the book before trying it out. Definitely gonna give it a try!

I like strong female characters but I doubt that the boxing theme would interest me. I agree that we all fight with our hearts from one point in time to the other. Thanks for the review.

Latest Review: Creating Literary Stories: A Fiction Writer's Guide by William H. Coles

Post by dragonet07 »

While I’m not typically into sports fiction, I find a story about a female boxer intriguing. The fact that Rosalind is a strong protagonist but also goes through psychological/emotional turmoil that affects her physically speaks to me personally, especially since I’ve undergone such distress that affected me physically with side effects that continue to this day. Still, I think I’d rather read the first book before I get to this one since I hate reading books in a series out of order. Thank you for the helpful review.

I believe many people would be able to relate to Rosalinda and understand her situation because it is a fact that being successful is not enough and is not the be-all and end-all of life. I congratulate the author for Book of the Day!
