Publisher's summary

She's a feisty workaholic that hates his guts.

He's an arrogant MMA fighter that can't afford any distractions.

This isn't the kind of fight they're used to...

When Remy is suddenly evicted from her apartment, her best friend offers to let her crash at his house while he's traveling for work. The only problem is, she can't stand his arrogant, self-centered roommate, Tristan.

Now, she has to figure out how to live in the same house with him for ten days while dealing with all the temptation that comes with… including punching Tristan’s smug face in. But when one night strips them of their masks and exposes the truth, they’re forced to reexamine how they really feel about each other.

While Remy struggles with her attraction to this notorious womanizer, Tristan has to decide if his feelings for Remy are worth it, or if they'll just distract him from his longtime goal of becoming a world champion.

Can Tristan and Remy drop their guards long enough to fall in love? Or will old prejudices deliver the final blow?

***5 Rounds is the first novel in the Fight Game series but can be listened to as a standalone. It is an enemies to lovers, forced proximity sports romance featuring strong language and explicit sexual scenes. Listener discretion is advised!

The narrators were perfection!

Ah!!! This freaking audiobook was so perfect!! Hearing Tristian say good girl in my ear, holy hotness 😮‍💨. Nikki picked the perfect narrators for Remy and Tristian and I can’t saying it enough duet narration just hit differently!

I have actually read this book twice, and now after listening to the audiobook I still can’t believe this book is Nikki Castle’s debut. This book is so well written and the characters are developed so well that you would never guess this is the first book that Nikki published.

Remy is being evicted from her current apartment and she needs her best friends help for a gap between her last day in her apartment to the first day in her new place. Jax her best friend says it will be no problem since he will be out of town for the week she needs a place to stay, only problem she will have to share living space with the man she hates the most. Jax’s roommate Tristan.

The book is the perfect enemies to lovers story. The banter between Remy and Tristian is some of the best I have ever read. The spice is top tier and you don’t want to miss the couch scene, it will definitely have you wanting more of these two. But, let’s not forget the rest of the group. The friendships with all the characters and side characters are so good and just makes you want to know everyone’s story. This is definitely a must read if you like sports romance with enemies to lovers and steam plus found family!!

One of the best audios!

YOU GUYSSSSSS…hands down the best audio I have ever listened to. The narrators were exactly what I pictured Remy and Tristian both sounding like. Brooke Daniels and Gideon Frost hit the spot with these two. The production was also amazing with all the details making their story truly come to life. The wait for this audio was truly worth every second and I’m already so excited for the rest of the series. If you haven’t read 5 Rounds it is enemies to lovers, forced proximity, roommates, and sports romance. Tristian and Remy bring the heat and tension. The “Remy baby” hit so good on audio🤌🏽 Highly recommend not only this book but the whole series and definitely on audio! The rest of the series coming soon!

I was waiting for this audiobook!

Tristan and Remy are still my favorite Nikki couple and this audio only made it better. Enemies to lovers, tension, heat, and banter... perfection!
Both narrators were new to me, and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to them. And duet? Chef’s kiss!

Remy is tough, and I don't mean it because she does jiu-jitsu. She's strong-minded, driven, and she knows what she wants. Brooke Daniels was such a great Remy. Her strength really comes through in her voice. You'll want to be her BFF!
Tristan is a fighter, arrogant, and comes off as full of himself, but he's so much more. The things that come out of this man's mouth... Gideon Frost was perfect in the growly, steamy bits but also in Tristan’s more vulnerable moments.

When Remy needs to leave her apartment and doesn't have a place to stay until the new one is ready, Jax offers to take her in. The problem? Jax is Tristan's roommate, and he'll be away, so Remy and Tristan will be alone.
And, well... They hate each other.

Listening to their verbal sparring was next level. There's tension and chemistry in spades, which you know are going to lead to hot, angry moments. In fact, there are so many hot scenes I don’t even know where to start and I surely don't want to ruin it for you.
And if you thought Tristan was dominant in writing, get ready, because you’re gonna LOVE him in audio. And “Remy baby”... yeah. IYKYK!

When Jax comes back and they need to go their separate ways, it's obvious they have feelings for each other. They’re meant to be—they just need to acknowledge it.
The feeling, the raw emotion, the love, and the support they give each other were phenomenal in Gideon’s and Brooke’s voices.

If you’re looking to listen to a steamy audiobook with strong characters that will unexpectedly—or maybe not—make you feel… get this one.

This audio was fantastic!!

This was the first audio I experienced that had different sound effects, like if someone was talking on the phone it actually sounded like they were on speaker. It was so cool! Also loved the narrators they did a fabulous job bringing Tristan and Remy to life.

Fantastic Story

I really enjoyed this book I know absolutely nothing about MMA fighters. I found it very interesting and informative and loved the story behind the two characters. They were relatable and interesting. I am definitely following this Author and looking forward for more books from her! If you are looking for a new kind of romance story I highly suggest reading/listening to this one!! I hope you find it as interesting as I do!!
