Review of Gaining Gibbs: Gaining Gibbs (Marco's MMA Boys) by S.M. Donaldson




Clay Gibbs is an up and coming MMA fighter … with a past he wishes to leave behind. He has witnessed more brutality than any one person should. Losing it all has taught him to fight for the things that matter. 
With no real family left, he has built a new one surrounded in his friends. They may not be blood, but they have a bond. In the center of it all is the one woman he finds he can’t be without. A fiery redhead that makes his heart beat wildly. He’s waited for her … can it finally be their time? 
Jade Chambers is a firecracker. A ball of flames so hot she will burn through anything in her path to get the life she wants. After almost losing it all just as it began, she’s determined not to let anything slip through her grasp again. 
The one thing she didn’t factor on was Clay Gibbs not fearing the heat. Will she love him or will she burn him? 





Overall Rating:  4 Rockin’ ★★★★

When is a friend more than a friend?  When does friendship include fringe benefits? Author S. M. Donaldson shares the answers in her newest release, Gaining Gibbs book four in the Marco's MMA Boys series. In this poignantly beautiful and moving love story, Jade and Clay pursue their happily ever after. The gang is all here supporting and caring for each other, even if they are not blood, they are family.  Join the fun, drama and craziness that always comes out when these bad to the bone MMA guys and their gals come out to play!

She's a feisty redhead that is determined to never give up until she accomplishes her goal, to finish college. Jade's goal is almost met and she is finally home doing what she dreamed of doing.  So why does a certain bad boy have her tied in knots? Why does Jade feel like there is unfinished business between them? She has wanted Clay from the beginning and now there is nothing standing is their way, or is there?
He is an MMA fighter.  When he was only a child his parent were brutally murdered. Clay Gibbs was suppose to die with them, but escaped.  His family now is his MMA brothers at the gym where he trains and works.  Jade is the girl he wants.  He let her go to follow her dreams, but she is back and maybe it's finally time for  them to take their relationship to another level.  Friendship is not what he wants.

S.M. Donaldson is a born and raised Southern girl. She grew up in a small rural town on Florida’s Gulf Coast, the kind of place where everyone knows your business before you do, especially when your Daddy is a cop and your Mom works for the school system. She married one of her best friends at the age of 20 and has one son. She is a proud military wife, has always had a soft spot for a good story, and is known to have a potty mouth. At the age of 31, she decided there was no time like the present to attempt her first book. Sam’s Choice was born and she hasn’t stopped since. If you are looking for a good, steamy, Southern set romance with true Southern dialect, she’s your girl.

After growing up in Saranac Lake, a small town in upstate NY, Kathy-Jo Reinhart returned to her birth place and where she spent her summers with her grandparents, St. Petersburg, Florida, after graduating High School. The sub zero climate and piles of snow definitely weren’t a loss, in her opinion, and this is where she still resides with her Husband of fifteen years and their eleven year old son, who they lovingly refer to as their miracle baby. A name righteously earned after a very difficult and scary pregnancy with 7 1/2 months on complete bed rest. By day, she works as an Office Manager for a construction company started by her grandfather and uncle. Like most people, she has a love hate relationship with her job, but cherishes all the years she was able to work side by side with her grandfather before he passed away. Writing has always been something that she has loved. In school, creative writing was her favorite class. Writing a book was something she had always wanted to do, but was too afraid she didn't have what it took to make it happen. After going from working sixty hours a week to twenty, she found herself with a lot of extra time on her hands and decided it was time to take the leap. Crossing her fingers and closing her eyes, she jumped into creating the Oakville series and hasn’t looked back. The first five star review she received after First Love, the first book in the Oakville series, was published, left her speechless, overwhelmed with emotion, and so blown away that someone really liked what she had written. Her initial fears seemed to calm and reassured her that others love her writing just as much as she loves doing it. How it will all turn out, still remains a mystery, but she’s having a blast seeing where these characters will take her. When she isn’t spending time with her characters, she enjoys reading, spending time with her family, scrapbooking, and doing ancestry research.
