REVIEWED BY EMILYWow - Hayden Braeburn's FIGHT FOR ME starts off like a rocket! We've got groping, kissing and "ragged breath" by page 3 (or 2% per my Kindle). This is the second book in the Everetts of Tyler series, and from what I understand, FIGHT FOR ME picks up right from where the first bookDance With Me (The Everetts of Tyler)left off. I have not readDance With Me (The Everetts of Tyler), so I will be honest and tell you I was a little confused right away.The book starts out with Cassidy Everett taking care of Dylan Black, who was shot while saving Cassidy's brother's life. That storyline is in the prior book, but it is quickly apparent that Cassidy and Dylan have some serious chemistry. Lucky for us, the couple wastes no time in engaging in lots of "sexy time" - and the writing is H-O-T ... HOT!Of course, that would be a quick (though steamy) book if there were not SOME issues for the couple to navigate. Cassidy has some pretty severe concerns about getting serious with Dylan. These were a little too typical and expected for my liking, and it didn't really jibe with her having her hands down his pants in chapter 1. However, the mystery/suspense part of this book was done well and it was this fast pace and engaging part of the story that hooked me. It's tricky to worry about the realness of the romance when someone's trying to blow either one or both of them up. Yes - like with a car bomb, y'all ... Crazy stuff!I love me a good suspense, and I love me a good romance, so when I get a little of both in one book, I am a very happy girl!BOTTOM LINEI really enjoyed reading Hayden Braeburns's FIGHT FOR ME despite my confusion and issues with the believability of the romance at the beginning. I have every intention of backing up and readingDance With Me (The Everetts of Tyler)to get the whole backstory. I also am looking forward to the third installation, LIVE FOR ME, featuring Cassidy's brother Caleb. I think anyone who likes action/adventure with your romance should give this series a try.RATING: B+ (4 stars)Note: I received a review copy of this title courtesy of the author in exchange for an honest review.
