COMMON STORYLINE, BUT WELL TOLD
I was gifted this book in exchange for an honest review.
Enjoyable enough listen. World building and writing skill was upper grade. The storyline was common but well told and used a lot of cliche and unrealistic situations. Even with that, the romance was sweet with a HEA.
Logan McAllister has a wonderfully sexy voice. He does a good female but he only uses it for the quotes, not the perspectives. I occasionally was mixed up as to who's head I was in :)
ONE BIG THUMB UP.
Overall Successful Story
I got this book via audiobook boom. The beginning really was not my cup of tea but these things happen in life all of the time. I am glad I kept listening because Kane and his baby brother came out on the other side of that horror. The story is fast-paced and well developed after that. The narrator was perfect for the story and did justice to each voice. I am glad for the HEA as well. The story is worth a listen if you can get past the beginning violence. Loved how Kane took on his lady love's little brother and helped him so he could finish college. Ths story is less than six hours and is a good rainy day weekend listen.
Good story and narration
Would you try another book from Emily Minton and Alexis Noelle and/or Logan McAllister?
Yes. This was my first book from these authors and the story was pretty good.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
I think the narration was good but it could have benefited from a female and male narrator since it is dual pov. That being said I think the narrator did a good job with the female voices and a really good job with the male voices.
Was Ground & Pound worth the listening time?
I think it was. I listened to it in about one siting and I was invested in the story. If you dont mind dual pov with one narrator, I think you should check this one out.
Any additional comments?

So Cute....
Wow... what a cute little MMA love story. Kane was an up and coming MMA fighter who decided to pop into a strip club with his younger brother, and what do you know... sweet little Emmy was straddling that pole to perfection... So cute...
The beginning of this book may be hard for some if you have had to deal with domestic violence...
