From New York Times bestselling author Laura Kaye, comes the first standalone title in her brand, new Warrior Fight Club series, FIGHTING FOR EVERYTHING. Join the Warrior Fight Club world today!
Loving her is the biggest fight of his life…
Home from the Marines, Noah Cortez has a secret he doesn’t want his oldest friend, Kristina Moore, to know. It kills him to push her away, especially when he’s noticing just how sexy and confident she’s become in his absence. But, angry and full of fight, he’s not the same man anymore either. Which is why Warrior Fight Club sounds so good.
Kristina loves teaching, but she wants more out of life. She wants Noah—the boy she’s crushed on and waited for. Except Noah is all man now—in ways both oh so good and troubling, too. Still, she wants who he’s become—every war-hardened inch. And when they finally stop fighting their attraction, it’s everything Kristina never dared hope for.
But Noah is secretly spiraling, and when he lashes out, it threatens what he and Kristina have found. The brotherhood of the fight club helps him confront his demons, but only Noah can convince the woman he loves that he’s finally ready to fight for everything.
As the wife of a veteran who has PTSD I tend to judge them
harsher than I would others. The reason for this is I see my husband struggle
at times, I sit and watch and can only offer support and comfort when he is at
his worse. As a wife I feel the effects, as do our children at times and it is
heartbreaking knowing that he is at times struggling. His PTSD isn’t as sever
as our hero Noah’s was but things like fireworks going off, crowds, and other
triggers can send his mind back to the things he lived through during his
deployments. I know you are probably saying book whore why are you telling all
of us this personal information, well here is why. If a book written about
someone suffering PTSD isn’t done right then I guarantee I call them out on it,
but Ms. Kaye did it right with Fighting
For Everything. This is one of the best books that shows the realities of
what our men and women who have served really suffer through.
Noah broke my heart from the very start. I wanted to wrap my
arms around him and comfort him and take his pain and struggle away. The daily fight
within his mind and body wasn’t something to easily read about, but it was real.
The range of emotions he felt went from one end of the spectrum to the other.
The anger, the sadness, the feeling of utter failure all played a huge role in
his actions. Now am I excusing how he treats Kristina? Hell no I am not. I have
been on the receiving end of those same emotions and it hurts, it hurts more
than I could ever describe, but I didn’t just stand there and take it I fought
back and that was the best thing I did because he saw it for what it was and
got help.
Kristina loved Noah, he was her best friend so to see him be
the way he was, to be treated the way he treated her was heartbreaking and
hurtful. She just wanted to be there for him and love him, but will she be
enough to heal Noah? Well you will have to read the book to find out. I didn’t
like her friend very much if I am to be honest. She didn’t understand the
situation and didn’t offer Kristina anything helpful when it came to Noah.
Fighting For
Everything personally touched my heart. I cried, I laughed, I got angry and
I felt hope. Fighting For Everything
reminds us that while there are physical scars we can see there are a million
that we can’t because they are in our minds. PTSD is something that hits home
to not only me but so many others whether it being themselves or someone they
know. Fighting For Everything is one
of the best books I have read by Laura Kaye and I can’t wait to read the next
book. This is a must read for sure.

Standing
there in the arms of her best friend, Kristina knew she had to stop
this...whatever this was.
Tilting
her head back, the words were on the tip of her tongue. Her eyes locked with
Noah’s, and even in the dimness she could see that they were blazing hot and
almost predatory in their directness. It stole her capacity to speak, because
she was unequivocally sure he'd never looked at her like that. Need roared off
of him and through her, spiking her arousal so hard and fast that she became
wet between her legs.
From just
a look.
Heart
pounding like a bass drum, Kristina swallowed hard. What would she do if he
kissed her? One kissing experiment aside, she'd never had to ask that in regard
to him. Another question followed close behind: what would she do if he didn't?
He didn't
give her the space to debate. His hand fisted in the back of her hair. The
roughness licked flames through her and sent her heart into a sprint. And then
he was guiding her head, bringing them together, bringing his face closer and
closer to hers. His gaze dropped to her lips, and a shaky breath caressed her
skin.
Noah
kissed her.
The first
press of his lips against hers was soft and sweet, and she thought she might
shatter from the shock of sensation just that light touch delivered. The one
that made her want to forget who he was and what he was to her and climb him
like a tree.
This is
Noah. This is Noah. This is Noah.
Kristina
had never wanted anything like this with him. Never before. But now that she'd
had a taste, it was like she'd never eaten a meal in her life. His lips skated
over hers, and she moaned at the unexpected goodness of it.
And it was
like the sound burst some dam inside him. On an answering groan, he planted
both hands in her hair and kissed her harder than she'd ever been kissed in her
life. His mouth claimed, his tongue penetrated, his body grinded against hers.
He pushed her against the opposite side of the door frame, pinning her there
with all his muscled strength.
It was
stunning. It was glorious. It was so wrong.
This is
Noah. This is--
So
freaking good.
The kiss
felt like he was feasting on her, like he'd been starving for her and finally
let himself have a taste. His desire was thrilling. His rough intensity was
breath-stealing. His need fueled hers. Against his chest, her nipples ached to
be tugged and sucked. She clenched her thighs together, dying for relief from
the inferno he'd ignited inside her. She sucked hard on his tongue and ran her
hands up the corded muscles of his biceps to grasp his thick shoulders, trying
to anchor herself against the storm his desire had unleashed in both of them.
Her brain
tried to remind her why she'd come down here, that she'd wanted to confront
Noah-her best friend, Noah, but then his hands skimmed down her body-over her
breasts, her belly, to her hips-and his clutching, urgent touch chased the
thoughts away.
Later.
There'd be time for talk, for thought, for consequences...later.
