Summary –

Talk about kicking a fighter while he’s down.

Former Middleweight champion and confirmed bachelor Tommy "Lightning" Sparks has lost it all: his belt, his career, and now his home. After the devastating fire, he moves in with his drama-free best friend, Julie. One encounter changes everything and Julie is no longer the girl he’s spent his life protecting but a desirable woman he wants to take to his bed. Knowing his reputation, he’s determined to protect Julie more than ever—from himself.

Veterinarian Julie Rogers has been in love with Tommy since she was ten, but would love to get over the man. She’s quiet nights at home and a glass of wine. He’s clubbing all night and shots of tequila. As friends they work great. As a couple?  No way in hell. She just can’t get her heart to agree. When she starts spending time with another fighter, the man who’s always treated her like a sister is suddenly not being very brotherly and enflames her body like never before.
Can two childhood friends make a relationship work, or will they lose everything because they stopped FIGHTING LOVE (Thanks to GoodReads.com for the summary)

My Thoughts –

I absolutely loved the story of Julie and Tommy in Fighting Love.  I love the fact that they’ve been friends forever.  I enjoy the stories about MMA fighters finding their special someone.  Julie is awesome.  She’s got a great job, knows what she wants and she’s been in love with Tommy for like ever.  After she decides to move on, Tommy moves in…literally.  Tommy is clueless about Julie’s feeling, but after he finds out and after living with her for a while – he wants her just as badly.  

This story is face-paced, easy to read and wicked hot.  I look forward to more in the series and definitely more from this author in the future!!  Great job:)
