This was a sweet, romantic read mixed in with suspense and some psychotic craziness. Fighting for Love introduced us to Matt and Shelby, both who shared a love so special that you would think nothing could tear them apart. When Shelby finds herself in a predicament she breaks up with Matt, unwilling to divulge her secret in fear that it could affect his future she ran. Forsaking her own happiness, she left Matt with unanswered questions and heartbroken. Years later whilst covering a sports article and meeting with the agent, Shelby discovered that the man in question for the spread was no other than mma fighter Matt "The Destroyer" Reynolds. Unable to face him Shelby tried to escape but not before colliding into Matt, and this just left you anticipating his next words and actions. The sparks made my heart race with emotion. Their time apart had no effect on how much they still loved each other, it was evident on their faces. I loved how Matt was so intense with Shelby, his love for her never wavered, it was constant. Wanting another chance with Shelby, they worked through issues from their past, dealt with ultimate betrayal and knocked out competition. There were twists and turns that I did not see coming, making me turn pages quicker and I so enjoyed the suspense/revenge angle. A lovely read of second chance love.
