Ella Webber is still a virgin. Working for Danver's International she has the hots for another employee, Declan Stone. Her friends Claire, Beth and Suzy, also co-workers, encourage her to go for it and let Declan introduce her to sex as he has a reputation with the women as a love 'em guy who knows his way around the female body and is the complete opposite of Ella. Joining internet dating should do the job.
Declan is a hard man, formed by the unimaginable through his two tours in Afghanistan and returning home with PTSD. Now he is determined never to get involved or committed to anyone. His consulting firm has merged with Danver's and has reunited him with his sister Ava and brother Brant in their grandfather's firm in Myrtle Beach.
Declan is aware Ella is smitten with him. He looks out for her but wants to keep the relationship platonic. At least until her dating other men catches his attention and forms jealousy. He finally agrees to Ella's proposal of initiating her in the ways of love making. Declan is shocked when the hot erotic sex has him panting like never before and sex is the best with Ella. He intends to go along with her request, but still resolves to keep it just a fling with no promises or commitments. Things take a 190 degree curve when Declan learns some life changing secrets of the past and feelings are going way beyond what he initially intended with Ella. Tragedy steps in and reality is forced on him to face what is important and what he really truly needs in his life. But now, he may have lost it all just as he is willing to accept his true feelings.
FIGHTING FOR YOU is the second book I have had the distinct pleasure of reading from Sydney Landon. Her books are not just stories but true works of art. Emotion and personal feelings are portrayed through her characters in a unique way. The reader feels what the characters are feeling. The story was colorful and a "read at one session" kind of tale. I couldn't wait to get to the next page to see what happened next. I truly love this very talented author and her stories.
Ella Webber has spent years uncomfortable around the opposite sex... But as soon as she meets handsome Declan Stone, she is smitten. Quickly they become friends, finding frequent reasons to see each other around the office, and Ella longs for even more. So—with a little help from her friends—Ella resorts to performing a little seduction. One that Declan will never be able to resist. Burdened by emotional baggage from his time in the army, Declan refuses to believe he's the right man for sweet Ella. Even if she makes him long for normal things, like marriage and family....But in his attempts to close off his heart from her love, could he have underestimated Ella's powers of persuasion?
