Lori Foster returned to the MMA romance world with the Ultimate series, years after wrapping up her SBC Fighters books. Starting with the novella Hard Knocks in 2014, the series introduces a new set of fighters competing in the Ultimate Championship. These men are strong and competitive, but each one has vulnerabilities that only the right woman can reach.
The main run of five books came out between 2014 and 2016, covering characters like the heroes of No Limits, Holding Strong, and Fighting Dirty. Then in 2023, Foster surprised fans with Bray, bringing readers back to this world after a seven-year gap. The series works well for anyone who likes athletic heroes and emotionally charged romance.
