I want to start off by saying L.P has done it again!!!!  I always look forward to getting my hands on one of her books, because her story telling always draws me in.  Fighting for Love was a very emotional read for me.  I cried continuously throughout this story.  Some were sad tears and others were happy tears.  This is one of those stories that drew me in, because it felt so real to me.  I felt as if I was right there with the characters, and I love when stories pull me in like that. The romance in this story was well written.  I loved seeing how Matt and Shelby grew throughout the story.  They became whole again and I enjoyed seeing and feeling that.  I also loved how L.P alternated POVs for this book.  It was nice getting in Matt's and Shelby's head to really connect with them both.Matt and Shelby believed that they were meant to be no matter what.  After making a heartbreaking decision, things end between them.  Why?  Ten years later Matt and Shelby meet again. She ends up having to write an article on a MMA fighter and it happens to be Matt.  These two finally get a second chance to be together, but will Matt's and Shelby's past and secrets tear them apart?I love Matt!!!! We got to see this bad boy go soft.  Of course, when it came to protecting Shelby and fighting in the ring, we got the bad boy back. Some of the stuff Matt learns and goes through tore me to pieces.  It was so heartbreaking that I wanted to reach out and hug him.  Shelby was a character anyone could relate to.  The guilt she carried with her was almost tangible.  I could feel the pain and love she carried with her.  Love for her soul mate, pain from her loss.There were a lot of secondary characters that I loved, but I have to say Carson was my favorite.  The relationship between him and Shelby was so sweet.  They adored each other and would do anything for each other.  He is a friend I would love to have.I was very excited to see characters from the previous books.  Mason made an appearance along with Tyler and his father.  Mason has to be one of my favorite characters so it was nice to see what became of him and Claire.  Oh how I can't wait for Matt and Mason to get in the ring together.  That is one fight I want to see again.  Tyler was still his flirtatious self.  I am hoping he gets a story of his own.  What can I say about Kyle?  He is even more ruthless and cunning in this story.  He will do whatever it takes to be top dog.  Can't stand him.  He got what was coming to him.Fighting for Love had so many twists and turns that left me completely stunned.  I seriously didn't see what happened coming. Well I should say  a couple plot twists that I didn't see coming. There were many WOW moments.  Fighting for Love is one of those stories that I just can't shake.  Days later, it is still with me.  I am eagerly awaiting the next installment of this series.  Can't wait to get inside Cooper's head!!!  Great job L.P!!!!  This is another book that I will definitely reread.
