I love strong female characters in a book. It's a pity about the errors, I hope the author will have the opportunity to republish.

I am not a huge fan of sports-based themes in novels but I enjoy strong female characters who never let anything keep them from accomplishing their dream. Thank you for your wonderful review.

I like that Rose is a strong female character. I wish the book gave background to some of the characters and situations as mentioned in the first book. It would make connecting things easier. All in all this book is a must read. Congratulations on making book of the day!

Someone like Rose who chooses a boxing career is undoubtedly a very strong woman. I'd like to read more and find out how she manages to cope with both the challenges in the boxing ring and the obstacles in her personal relationships. Thanks for your review!

I'm not into sport-related stories, but the strong female character sounds wonderful. I'm sure many readers will find the book interesting and even inspiring.

The mix between Rose’s rising career as a championship boxer and her emotional challenges sounds like an interesting dichotomy.

I like that this book is about a female boxer trying to leave her mark in a male dominated field. I am disappointed that the book is not edited well, and this has destroyed an otherwise good book. Thanks for the review.

Rose is a strong and inspirational character, and the various predicaments she faces in her boxing career made her even stronger.
Thanks for this amazing review. :tiphat:

I love books with strong, female protagonists, so this one definitely appeals to me. It sounds like Rose has many obstacles to overcome both in the ring and out of the ring in the second installment. Thanks for the detailed review.

Thank you for your detailed review. I enjoy sport-themed books mixed with strong female characters. Still, I'm in a dilemma whether to read it or not because of the large number of spelling mistakes in the book as you mentioned above. I think I'll give it a go as I love to read about psychological well-being affecting the physical life of Rosalinda.
