I was not sure what to expect from this book. I really enjoy MMA, and enjoy reading about the sport. However, this book is more about the son of a mafia don and his coming to terms with his family responsibilities while falling in love.Nicky Ragusa is an up and coming MMA fighter, but he's also the son of the local mafia don. He's at constant odds with his love of the sport, the lack of respect his father gives him for his athletic endeavors, and the responsibility he feels to his 'family' obligations. He has many colorful characters surrounding him-he's Italian, so he's got a huge family! He's a noble sort, who sees a woman being accosted by a man and decides to follow her just to make sure she arrives home safely. However, he accidently rear ends her motorcycle and puts her in the hospital. What follows reads like an episode of The Sopranos (of which I am a HUGE fan). This young lady's ex boyfriend is a member of a local Hispanic gang and his brother is Nicky's next opponent.Nicky is unused to having a girlfriend, his father is pushing him to take over the reins of the 'family business', and there is a war brewing between the gang the Ragusa family. This book has action galore, lots of sex, and some unsavory acts.There is something for everybody in Fight For You. I'm looking forward to finding out how the story continues. Nicky's cousin, Dominic, will be getting his own story.
