Underground Kings puts Reynolds’s alpha heroes in the cage, literally. The series revolves around men involved in underground MMA fighting, and the physical intensity of their world spills over into their love lives. Assumption kicks things off in 2014 with a hero who makes a snap judgment about the woman he wants, and the pattern holds across the subsequent books: Obligation, Distraction, Infatuation, and Cruel Captivation.
The fighting backdrop gives these romances a grittier edge than Reynolds’s small-town series. There is real danger in these stories, and the heroes carry scars, both physical and emotional. But at the core, these are still books about men who recognize their person the moment they see her, and who will do whatever it takes to keep her safe. The series wrapped up in 2020 after six books.
