CAPTAIN: Black Ops MMA Book Three Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 227 ratings

D.M. Davis’ CAPTAIN is a heart-wrenching, sexy contemporary romance full of forgiveness, second chances, and healing, and Book Three in the Black Ops MMA series.

Sometimes you have to break to become the person you're meant to be.

CAP:
I'm a bastard by birth.
Heartless by choice.
Love abandoned me a long time ago. Good riddance.
I have my family-by-choice. I don't need more.
Until she crept in, sank in deep, latched on, and stayed.
She's as broken as the day is long.
Yet I can't resist the pull to get her in my bed, in my heart, piecing me back together—for she's not the only one broken.

CHER:
I'm over men.
Destruction and pain are all they bring.
Been there. Done that. Check please.
Yet there is one—so many years later—who looks at me like I'm a goddess.
Who makes me feel like I have something to offer, that I'm
exactly who he wants.

Can two lonely souls come together to discover the broken have more pieces to love, or will they pass on finding their forever love?


The
Black Ops MMA books are integrated standalones with subplots that carry through from book 1 to book 4. For maximum enjoyment, I suggest the Black Ops MMA Series be read in order to fully experience the world and the characters who inhabit it, beginning with NO MERCY. *There are NO Cliffhangers.*

Intended for mature audiences. Some scenes may contain triggers.

The Warrior and her Fighter!
5 out of 5 stars
The Warrior and her Fighter!
Oh My Freaking Gawd! Book 3 Has Blown My Mind 🤯 Chills Goose Bumps Blurry Eyes Warm Fuzzies Anger Hurt And More..... That's just some of what I felt while reading this. I love all of these characters and each has their own special complex story that D.M. Davis does an amazing job of really making you feel part of these characters lives, I want to be loved by this broken, chosen family. Although Mrs. Davis admits she herself wasn't to fond of Cher in her first to books of the series, and I hope that comes from a place as a mother and as someone who's never known domestic abuse. She learned to respect and even love her character. As someone who has witnessed and been on the receiving end of an abusive father and this being a work of fiction I absolutely loved the heart put into this story. Cher the broken mother, escaping an abusive father as a broken child only to end up with a younger version of the very devil she was running from. She doesn't want to be a victim but she feels like she's failed the only people that matter to her, her kids. When Cap enters the picture in time to offer her son the guidance he'll need to nurture his healing nature and keep his anger in check as he's now thrown the devil out for good. There connection is strong immediately, not in a I'm going to rip your clothes off but a I feel your sharp edges and broken pieces, but don't worry I've got tools, sanders, and glue for that. I've got you when your ready. But they're not ready not yet and so like a young couple we get to watch them fumble through first love but with the experiences of adult responsibilities. Honestly it's beautiful to see their broken pieces and lives all fit together and when they don't they take a little time to reshape that piece 🧩 and try again till it works. I seriously don't know how I'm going to wait for the next one if they just keep getting better. Of course I'm not really sure it's better I think I just love that this world is getting bigger. ❤️ I have voluntarily left this review.

    Well written story and well developed characters! Captain! He is the boss! The man in charge! He loves all the guys he coaches at the Black Ops MMA like they are his sons! But he is alone! Can't be a man for anyone!

    So I was a little hesitant to read this story... I wasn't sure I was going to like Cher and I figured it'd be a lot of drama with Cap but turns out it was such an amazing story I seriously could not put it down! Don't get me wrong there's a bit of a drama a lot of emotions and some really steamy hot scenes. The love that shown through was amazing! This is definitely a must read. I can't wait for more of this series!

    Oh my gosh I loved this book. I wish we could give more than five stars. Captain & Cher both showed compassion, love of family. They both thought that they were broken, but showed just how 💪 they both were for all of their family.

    I read all three books in the series and enjoyed them for the most part.

    Davis featured a character that was at first glance somewhat unsympathetic in the previous books, but we really get to understand her in this one. Sometimes I felt like was reading a dramatized version of The Power and Control Wheel showing the constant abuse Cher suffered and how those old patterns and experiences still shape her life. I felt bad for Cher and it hurt to see benign situations with Cap trip her up and transport her back to the horrible relationship she was in before. It is both interesting and heartbreaking to have a main character with such strong trauma symptoms (in this series all of the female characters either have trauma symptoms if not full-blown PTSD). The male characters are your typical alpha males, but with a big soft spot for their ladies. Captain in particular could be very sentimental and sweet with Cher. Captain is kind of a father figure for the main characters featured in the previous two books, and this is his story of falling for Cher, the mother of his unofficial son and daughter, Gabriel and Reese.

    Captain wasn’t a perfect fit for me. In the first quarter I really liked it and anticipated it might be my favorite of the series, and yet by the end found myself dragging and pushing myself to get through to the end. It was dark at times. The trauma was sad. And there are some evil villains that you definitely hate. But the romance is sweet, if frustrating at times. I appreciated that the characters were a little older this time around. I think it’s admirable to feature the struggle of characters working to overcome trauma, and that “freeze” response or even flashbacks, avoidance of triggers, it’s not an easy road, but conveys that healing can be done through loving, safe, healthy relationships. And the heroes try to be extremely respectful and sensitive to their ladies’ triggers.

    Captain features a lot of sex. It’s definitely in the category of book where it’s about half story half sex. Although it balances this a little better than others I have read. I found myself skimming quickly through some of these scenes towards the end, just because I wanted to know what happened but had to get through 3 or 4 more sex scenes before I could get to the conclusion.

    I’d recommend reading them in order as the relationships will be more meaningful in Captain if you know who Gabriel, Reese and Rowdy are. I WOULD recommend this book to people who like sports romance genre or characters who are veterans, people who enjoy a darker context or characters who begin the story rather broken and gradually heal and grow. I would NOT recommend this if you’re looking for a light read, if you want to laugh, or if depictions of abuse/assault are overly distressing. I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy through HiddenGems.

    Wow. I’m literally speechless. I’m emotionally hungover. This wrenched all the tears out of me. This story was so achingly beautiful. Cap has my heart for good. I dunno how anyone will compete with that. Top read of 2021 for sure.

    Captain is Book #3 in the Black Ops MMA series. Books are part of an interconnected series. For maximum enjoyment books should be read in order.

    In D.M.’s author’s note she states that she herself didn’t even like Cher in No Mercy and Rowdy’s books and I have to say I thought that same thing as I started the book. I was wondering how D.M. was going to change my mind about Cher and make me feel empathetic towards her. And, I have to say she completely succeeded.

    This love story is twelve years in the making. We are taken thru the past, told in duel perspectives, as we learn more about Cap and Cher’s lives before they met and what ultimately brings us to the present.

    Cher was a teenage mother who suffered abuse at the hands of her father and then her husband. For years he chipped away at her soul until Gabriel was old enough and strong enough to throw him out of their lives.

    Cap entered their lives when Gabriel showed up at his MMA gym looking for an outlet. A tenuous friendship began thru Cher and Cap when Gabriel was serving in the Army. But, Cap managed to sabotage them believing he didn’t have it in him to love again.

    Over the next few years Cher ices Cap out. But, when Gabriel and Frankie welcome their son Maddox into the world, Gabriel tells Cap to make it right with Cher- their family needs them both. He proposes they try their hand at friendship again. Cher is still harboring all her insecurities from her past. But, Cap is determined to open her eyes to what they can be together.

    Cap is a gentle giant with a huge heart, a dirty mouth, and all the right moves. Seriously. Hot AF. Panty melting chemistry.

    The way he loves on Cher. Has her back. Accepts her past. Holds her secrets. How he opens himself to Gabriel, Reese, Frankie and Rowdy. Cementing them as family.

    Gah, I am so in love with this book. I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel. I decided to just read a few chapters and before I knew it I was 50% in and forcing myself to take a break. And, the epilogue, holy ovary explosion.
