I love a good fighter book, and the cover and the blurb were what caught my attention.  Once I started reading this book, I could not put it down.  I really liked Milo and Ava, and the genuineness to their relationship.  Milo is one of the best male characters I have ever read.  Unlike so many other books with a strong alpha male, he's not a player, he's not with different woman every night, and he doesn't use women and then toss them aside.  It was refreshing to read about such a strong male lead that not only doesn't do such things, he actually says he doesn't understand how guys do it.  Even though their relationship was not easy, and they had secrets between them, it was refreshing and such a nice change that there was no cheating that went on like there is in so many other books.***** Spoilers ahead if you have not read Love Untouched *****As I stated, I love a good fighter book.  Fight or Fall was so much more than that.  Milo isn't a fighter because he wants to be.  He's fighting in a league that is made up of disgraced athletes that were banned from their sport, which in Milo's case is swimming.  As we learned in Love Untouched, he was banned after he set up his #1 competitor for drug-use, which caused Milo to be banned once the truth came out.  Milo has good reasons why he is fighting, and it melted my heart.  He made a huge mistake, which he owns up to.  He is a great guy, which he really can't see because of what he did, but Ava helps him start to see it for himself.I absolutely loved this book, and cannot speak about it highly enough.  One of my favorite reads of the year.
