TITLE: The Harder You Fall
SERIES: Rixon Raiders #3 AUTHOR: L.A. Cotton
GENRE: YA / NA
RELEASE DATE: January 7th, 2020
Mya Hernandez has scars.
The kind that run deep and leave marks.
Rixon is only supposed to be a temporary place to hide, but it's quickly becoming something more.
She's almost certain it has nothing to do with the blond-haired, blue-eyed football player who makes her laugh. Who makes her believe in fairy tales again.
Even if she knows her life is destined to be nothing more than a tragedy.
Asher Bennet has secrets.
Not the scandalous kind, but the ones that fester, slowly eating away at your soul.
On the face of it, he's Mr Popular, always down for a party and causing a little mayhem.
But on the inside, he just wants someone to see him. Really see him. Too bad the one girl who sees past his facade has already friend-zoned him.
It's probably for the best though.
She's different.
A fighter.
She's everything he wants but can never have.
Until Mya's past and Asher's present collide in ways neither of them saw coming.
And suddenly the thing you need most is the very thing you’re supposed to hate.

⭐️ 4.5 "Always a Raider" Stars ⭐️
Since book one of the Rixon Raiders Series, I’ve been smitten with Asher! This guy is the life of the party and always ready with one-liners to make you crack up. I was expecting to love The Harder You Fall as he was such an endearing hero in the previous books, but I was really surprised to discover new facets of his personality. His relationship with Mya was absolutely amazing! I loved how they have a strong friendship that slowly blossoms into something more! Their chemistry is palpable, but taking their relationship to the next level isn’t an easy process. They both have obstacles in their personal life making a romance between them difficult! Between highs and lows, they battle fiercely for their love!
Mya is a resilient and confident heroine with a heavy past. She wants to trust Asher with her heart, but her last relationship hurt her and she’s still fragile! As much as they connect and seem to be a match made in heaven, the small community of Rixon views their relationship under another eye. Mya being a Latina girl in a small town where cultural differences are rare, they’re judged making their relationship challenging. Add to the mix Asher’s father putting so much pressure on his future and also with racist tendencies, it’s not easy! I love how Asher doesn’t care about all this stuff and only see Mya as the girl he loves. He's truly so sweet and devoted to the girl!
Felicity, Jason, Hailee and Cameron are there to make this story even more interesting. They’re such a great group of friends, always there supporting each other. The humour and teasing between them all is also fantastic. I’ll certainly miss this group of characters that I had a lot of pleasure meeting during the span of this fantastic series!
L.A. Cotton concluded the Rixon Raiders Series in a splendid way with this amazing couple! It was a swoony, funny and intense read that I won't forget any time soon.

L.A. COTTON
Angsty. Edgy. Addictive Romance
Author of mature young adult and new adult novels, L A is happiest writing the kind of books she loves to read: addictive stories full of teenage angst, tension, twists and turns.
Home is a small town in the middle of England where she currently juggles being a full-time writer with being a mother/referee to two little people. In her spare time (and when she’s not camped out in front of the laptop) you’ll most likely find L A immersed in a book, escaping the chaos that is life.
