Fighting to Stay is a story where you fall more in love with the hero than the heroine. Lacey Monroe had a rough childhood, witnessing her mother being physically abused at the hands of her father. Fearing for her daughter’s safety, she imbedded into her daughter to never stay when things got bad, to always run. Keeping this forever in her mind, Lacey found herself always moving, never staying in one place to long. When her last relationship has her running again, she heads to stay with her best friend Jenn in Salt Rock, Alabama. A night partying at the mc Mayhem club where Jenn’s boyfriend Switch is a member, she meets Roam, a biker who sets his eyes on Lacey. The sexual build up between these two was hot. Lacey gets drunk and unable to get home finds herself looking for a bed to sleep off the liquor. Roam sees her and takes advantage leading her away. I have to say I did not like their first sexual encounter, as it should have been intimate between just the two of them, I though Lacey was special and strong enough to not put herself in that situation despite I know being alcohol fuelled. I didn’t think Roam would want to share her, so the promise of the ménage not happening again came too late for my liking, sorry I’m not into sharing, it was hot but I’m selfish! Lol. Putting their one night stand behind, Lacey moved on thinking nothing else would come of it, she finds herself liking Salt Rock and begins work as a barmaid. This is where we see more of Roam in his pursuit to make Lacey his. I felt like I wanted to see more of them together, instead of reading weeks going by before they were back in each other’s company. I loved Roam, yes he was naughty, but he acknowledged what he wanted from his first encounter with Lacey and he didn’t waver from that. Lacey was his and thoughts of getting intimate with another woman was no longer on the table. The guy was just so sweet, sexy, hot and romantic, his words just made you melt. Following their relationship, you could really feel his intense need and love for Lacey, she made him crave things he never wanted before, until one day danger, misunderstandings, and false assumptions tear them apart, forcing Lacey to run again. I have to say I really felt Roam’s pain, poor guy hardly got any time to spend with his family before it was cruelly taken away from him, and I wanted to shout at Lacey! A fun romantic read, with suspense, and jealousy rearing its ugly head. Told in both pov’s. I loved the epilogue it was the highlight for me!
