I've never read any of Jeanette Murray's works before,
and I was a little hesitant to jump straight into a
series that was clearly well established. I will admit,
this one takes a little while to find your bearings if
you haven't read the entire series. There's been an
ongoing issue with vandalism at the gym it takes place
at, for instance, and Murray clearly assumes you know
exactly what is happening and what has happened with it.
I was able to muddle through and still deeply enjoyed the
book, but I do wish I would have known that reading the
first ones were pretty recommended.
It's a shame that I was confused because the gym which
serves as the setting is clearly the main impetus of the
tribe this series is about. You can tell from small
asides and larger conversations that the men and women
who make up this series are family and I wish I
could have watched the building of that trust and that
world.
FIGHT TO THE FINISH, the third in the series, centers around
Kara and Graham.
Kara, a single mom and yoga instructor at the gym, gets
caught in a custody battle with her ex, who seems like a
true piece of human garbage. Luckily for everyone,
including the readers, Graham is a lawyer who has also,
conveniently, been super into Kara for a while. Sparks
fly, emotional walls come a tumbling down, hot sex is
had, we all live happily ever after. Human-Garbage-Ex is
vanquished, and justice is served.
Even with my slight confusion about the backstory of all
the characters, I would wholeheartedly recommend FIGHT TO
THE FINISH
to anyone who likes quiet heroes and resilient heroines.
Kara is a single mom working hard to keep life running
smoothly for herself and her son, but a custody battle is
wearing her down. When her friend suggests asking a JAG
officer for some unofficial advice, Kara agrees—and soon
finds herself officially head over heels...
As a Judge Advocate, Graham has seen his share of nasty
custody disputes—and he plans on keeping his distance
from this one. But this purposeful, passionate woman has
a way of drawing him ever closer to the edge. And when
Kara’s ex starts to throw his weight around, Graham will
have to choose between toeing the line or stepping into
the ring...
