 Paige's Review - 3 stars 
 Travis is our resident bad boy who knock into Penny. Since their initial meeting the pair had sparks and chemistry. He followed her around and wasn't letting her . I thought it was odd that after a year he knew very little about her personal life. It wasn't until his sister went into labor that he found out more about the love of his life. 
 I found Travis to be too wishy washy. He kept telling Penny that he could only give her one night but then moved her and her daughter into his house. 
 Penny was very naive but she was also very young. I often forgot that she was only in her early twenties. She had a lot of responsibility for someone so young. 
 This book also contained very sweet moments. I loved when Travis called Penny mamma. He also showed his caring side when he was with Bella. 
 Overall it kept me interested and I wanted this couple to get their HEA.

 Penny is a single mom just trying to make ends meet. She's been around the fringes of the WTF Gang as the waitress at the local watering hole. Running from her past, Penny keeps to herself and wants to build a good life for her and her daughter, Sarabelle. She's working her ass off and tries to resist Travis' charms but fails, miserably. 
 Travis Calhoun is the life of the party and twin brother to Jamie Lynn, who got her HEA in the last book of this series, Fighting Dirty. He's filming a reality tv show that's leading up to his first big title fight. Travis is on top of the world and is definitely not looking to settle down. He's also got some serious "mommy issues" that came to light in the prior books and his attitude has gotten much worse. 
 I felt that Penny and Travis were a good match, however the dialog between them seemed immature and frivolous which made it hard for me to connect with them. Travis was an ass toward Penny on more than one occasion and then couldn't quite be lovable enough for me to forgive him. Penny's faith gave her character some depth and I liked those aspects of the story. Overall, this story felt off-kilter to me. The timing of key aspects of the plot were out of sync and at times it totally dragged. This is the final book of this series and Travis has been a main cast member from the beginning, I would have hoped he would go out with a bang but instead it was more of a ping. 
 Slick's review - 2 stars 
 I wish I could say I loved this book because I've been waiting for this story from the beginning, but sadly there was just so much wrong with this book that it was a huge disappointment. If it weren't for the interactions with the characters from the previous books, this book would have been a big DNF for me and as it was I struggled to read it. It took DAYS to slog through it, and I routinely read 1-2 books a day. I kept hoping it would get better, that it would even out, that perhaps I'd get a message from the publisher saying they sent an unedited ARC and would I like the final copy but alas none of that happened and it just went from bad to worse. 
 Travis and Penny are very much a case of opposites attract, but it's more than that. Penny is a single Mom something Travis has no clue about and Travis is very anti-family, but when they are thrust together after his "celebrity" gets their relationship noticed their lives change in many ways. I liked Travis in the previous books even though at times he came off as a bit of a hard a$$, but in this book he was like this over the top uncouth alphahole. I hated the way he made decisions for Penny and the way he seemed to say things just to upset her and don't get me started on how all of a sudden this man who was bound and determined to NEVER have a family was all on board with a child that wasn't even his. Penny's naivety drove me crazy, I get that she grew up sheltered but it wasn't like she lived in a glass bubble, she was from freakin' Oklahoma and the reason she ran and the fact that people with unlimited amount of influence, power and money couldn't find her...yeah, that was believable especially given her situation and her lack of funds. Penny going from self sufficient to blindly allowing Travis to take over everything in her life. The way they fell into their relationship just seemed too easy considering their differences in so many ways; it was very difficult for me to buy it and I just didn't feel the chemistry between them. 
 Things that drove me absolutely nuts about this book: Travis had a horrible relationship with his mother but he called Penny "Momma" all the time, so not sexy and just eeewww. Penny's daughter Belle was a year old and goes from barely walking and talking to running and speaking in full 
 sentences in a matter of a couple of months and she says his name before she says "Mama." 
 Ugh...just no. A man telling a single mother who has been through hell that she needs to "....get on the pill. I hate rubbers." Excuse me? My body, my choice and what part of unwanted pregnancy do you not understand? To add insult to injury there was a ridiculous plot device towards the end which was completely unnecessary. 
 Things I loved about this book: The way the crew from WtF (Worth the Fight) academy rallied around Penny to help her. Seeing all the previous characters and getting a glimpse into what is going on in their lives. 
 This series has been a bit uneven for me; there were books I loved and some not so much, but Stacked Up didn't stack up at all and it is sad that this is the book that ends this series.
