I loved Rules of Engagement and was really excited to start Fighting for Irish. You have a retired MMA fighter who's secretly keeping an eye on a friend's sister-in-law who may or may not be in trouble. That is, until the mafia come knocking on her door. Which is when Irish steps up to take her debt as his own and ends up back in the MMA ring for the Mafia.I don't know what happened but I just didn't connect with the story. I'm not sure if it was the extreme naivety on Kat's part because let's be honest, at her age, even if she's never experienced an orgasm, I'd hope she'd know what one was. Apparently not though because she sorta panicked when the moment came and thought the feeling was painful/pleasurable. Alas, Irish shows her what she's missing out on... multiple times. Or maybe it was Irish. The typical bad-ass who turns to complete mush when he meets his woman. Such a mush that he start talking gobbly goop that would make a Hallmark card proud. You can't be a big bad Bostonian MMA fighter and start getting mushy on me. I want that bad-ass demeanor to carry on throughout the story.I liked the beginning of the story and had high hopes for this but it just didn't work for me. I wasn't connected to the story or the characters. I will still continue to read Gina's work since I loved the last book but unfortunately this one just wasn't for me.
