FIGHT FOR ME is a 140 pages of over-the-top escapist fantasy
with some light BDSM and some limited threesome action. The
story is written in first person as told by Tessa. Tessa is
working as a waitress, raising her 4 year old son, and
dreaming of going back to college. One year ago she
separated from her husband, MMA fighter Ryder, because he
had anger issues and would not open up to her. Tessa became
friends with Ryder and his best friend Xavier when they were
all teens. She and Ryder married young and were very
sexually compatible. Even though she loved him, Tessa felt
she had to leave Ryder, because he started acting out
physically and would not explain himself. Tessa knows
something bad had happened to Ryder to make him behave the
way he does, but she is incredibly hurt that he will not
share it with her.
Xavier has loved Tessa from the time they all met, but
stepped aside to let Ryder have her. Xavier retired from MMA
fighting and is now a billionaire. Once Tessa and Ryder
separated, though, Xavier steps up and tells Tessa how he
feels. Tessa is torn between the two men, both of whom she
is very attracted to. Tessa receives an invitation to go to
Eden, an island off Florida for a week of decadent living.
The tagline for the resort is "Welcome to Eden, where
reality is whatever you wish it to be..."
When she arrives, she spies a sign for an upcoming fight,
between Xavier and Ryder! They tell her they are going to
fight and the winner gets her. Tessa spends a week at Eden
being wined, dined, and sexed up between the two men. The
sex, though flirting with BDSM and the even kinkier side
of threesomes, is oddly tame. Ryder finally, and to me
belatedly, shares his traumatic past with Tessa, which
throws the story into another unexpected loop near the end
of the book. I found myself working hard to keep my willing
suspension of disbelief throughout this novella. Readers
looking for a light kink with a touch of suspense in their
books may find FIGHT FOR ME by Sharon Page right up their
alley.
I had to drop out of college to raise my son after his dad,
bad boy MMA fighter Ryder King, and I broke up. Ryder is so
haunted by demons he won’t let me into his heart. Fame,
fortune, and fighting didn’t bring him any peace, and I
knew, for the sake of our child, I had to leave him.
That’s when I started seeing Ryder’s best friend, Xavier
Malone, a former fighter who built a billion dollar empire.
Xavier is powerful and handsome, but also caring and
wonderful with my son. We were friends at first and now I’m
falling for him—but I’m scared to commit.
Then I receive an invitation to the island of Eden, a
luxurious resort where I can live my every sensual fantasy.
I’m certain Xavier sent it. But after I leave my son with my
mom and fly to Eden, I discover I’m in the middle of a
grudge match between Xavier and Ryder. They are going to
fight for me: inside the ring in a charity match, and
outside it—where they both plan to seduce the pants off me.
But I have a surprise for them too.
