Fighting For It

Jack Brady was a favourite upcoming World Heavyweight Boxing Champion before his first shattering loss in London. A loss which not only lost him possibly his career but also his manager, the only father figure he ever had. Guilt has been eating him ever since which he tries to drown out by drinking and having sex. An unexpected blast from the past, his late manager's daughter and the only woman he ever loved, is back and now owns him.

Daniella Chambers is determined for her father's legacy to live on. She is prepared, all in, to invest in the bankrupt gym and Jack Brady, her star boxer and the only man who can bring them back from shutting down permanently. But first she needs to get him sober and get his heart, body and soul back in the game. Amidst all the training is the high tension attraction and the uncertainty of their future, all dependent upon Jack's winning or losing the next match. So what will it be?

FIGHTING FOR IT is an action packed heart-warming story about a man who on the brink of losing everything thanks to his insecurities and guilt is brought back to the top by the very woman he hurt in order to give her a better life. I loved how Ms. Fusco built their relationship and showed us, despite their past, how they overcome the uncertainty and maturely deal with their feelings. Their feelings are well thought out and the build-up is sweet rather than filled with the unnecessary angst. FIGHTING FOR IT is all about setting the priorities, love, what just one person's belief can do to impact someone's life and decisions, struggle and most of all FIGHTING FOR IT.

FIGHTING FOR IT also brought back the memories of all Rocky movies but with more in-depth emotions along with all the action of the training, the fights, the build-up and the climax. I was rooting and feeling the adrenaline pump through as I worked out with Jack Brady on his way to the top. Whether he makes it or not is what you need to read to find out. But FIGHTING FOR IT is a breath of fresh air in the genre of sports romance with an alpha hero and a determined, strong willed heroine who are mature enough to take charge and accept their responsibilities and mistakes rather than play the blame game. I hope there are some more books in future about the other boxers mentioned too as I would love to revisit all of them again. Great, exhilarating read.

SUMMARY

The first in a sexy new series where the hard-hitters of Las Vegas’s Stamina boxing gym are K.O.-ed by the women they never saw coming...

After suffering a devastating loss during his last fight, heavyweight boxer Jack Brady’s whole career went down for the count. Now, his late manager’s daughter has inherited his contract and Jack is pleased to discover that the girl he fell in love with as a kid has grown into a strong, sexy woman—until she makes it clear that Jack has no choice but to get in the ring.

Daniella Chambers is determined to get her father’s failing gym back on track with Jack’s upcoming fight. She knows Jack’s got the talent to become champion and decides to force the unmotivated fighter away from the neon lights of Vegas to train in the seclusion of her lake house. But when they take a time out from their sessions to steam up the bedroom, the urge to win gets all tangled up with their desires.
 
Now, Jack’s fight is swiftly approaching, and the fate of the gym isn’t the only thing on the ropes...
