Review: The Fight for Love
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 01 13, 2014
This is the third novel in Ms. Maxwell's series, Fighting For Love.  I have read the first two books in the series and loved them. This is, in my opinion, her best. The story has action, suspense, very strong characters and sizzle that will keep you turning pages.Aiden (Irish) Murphy is a tattooed, multiple pierced, haunted former MMA fighter. A tragic accident has ruined his taste for fighting in the cage, and he fears the rage he keeps locked inside. A request from a fighter friend Jax, ( Rules of Entanglement) has him on the road from Boston to a backwoods town in Louisiana, in search of a young woman her sister ( Jax's fiancé Vanessa)  feels is in danger. He's glad to leave Boston and it's nightmares behind. From the moment he lays eyes on Kat, the woman he is searching for........his recent apathy for women and sex goes out the window.Kat MacGregor has a lot of tragic secrets she's keeping, some her sister knows, most she doesn't.  Right now she is on the run from a relationship gone very bad, and thugs who want her to pay for her ex's mistakes.  She enjoys her job waitressing in a dilapidated bar in Alabaster, Louisiana and is determined to take control of her life, and not trust anyone but herself. She is using the name Sydney Carter, and has a reputation of not taking crap from anyone. Especially the new men the owner has hired as "coolers." One in particular, Irish, is particularly annoying, especially since she finds him so attractiveMs. Maxwell weaves a novel of pain, heartache and danger into a very beautiful love story. Secrets revealed lead to understanding and caring, not to rejection and anger.I read this novel in one sitting, I couldn't put it down.  Although Fighting for Irish is the third book in the series, I feel it could be read as a stand alone, but you will get greater enjoyment by reading all three.I received this novel from the author for an honest review.Pat Fordyce
