”Everyone deserves to be loved, O’Brien. Even you. You’re just too lost in the past to realize it”Loving “Irish”, a.k.a. Aiden O’Brien was definitely not an issue at all for me. Either was truly loving another fabulous MMA fighter book from Gina L. Maxwell. I was very lucky and very honoured to have received an ARC of Fighting Irish from the author. I have been anxiously awaiting for this book, and after months of reading little bits of teasers the author gave us, I dove right in the moment I received this and did not stop reading until I was done. I forwent food and sleep, but was so totally worth it. Then once done I was left with a major book hangover, a well known and totally expected common side effect of Gina L. Maxwell’s books.Fighting for Irish is the third book in the Fighting for Love series. This book can be read as a stand alone but I highly recommend it to be read in series. You will fall in love with all of Gina’s characters and as you read you will get briefly introduced to the upcoming characters as well getting to see past characters as you read on in the series. But WARNING you will have a hard time picking a favourite cause let me tell you these men are hot and sexy and just down right A-MAH-ZING”Anyone ever tell you you’re a force to be reckoned with Katherine Terese MacGregor”We are briefly introduced to “Kat” and her troubles in “Rules of Entanglement”. I absolutely loved Kat, and like all of Gina’s leading ladies, she a strong, sometimes sassy, sometimes stubborn, woman, and truly as Irish put it, a force to be reckoned with. Kat as we learned in ROE and now further in FFI, has not had an easy life, but she is not selfish nor is she whiny and I LOVE that about her. And there are so many moments in the book that she is so strong, although some will say see her as weak, but to do what she does and look past what has happened, takes a lot of strength on her part. I won’t say anything further as it will spoil it.Because I’m tired of others deciding my future for me. SO now I’m going to fight for what I want. And What I want is you, Aiden Murphy O’Brien. All of you.OMG, Aiden, what can I say but Holy Hell Hot and AbsoFREAKINGlutely amazing. As a favor to his friend Jax, he heads to Alabaster, Louisiana from Boston to keep an eye on and watch out for Jax’s soon to be SIL, Kat. Aiden is a sexy but retired MMA fighter, who has not fought in five years due to something happening. He has his own demons he is fighting and doesn’t see himself as the “loveable” type of guy and keeps everyone at a distance.”You with me, Kitten”Both Aiden and Kat have their pasts and their demons, but they come together first as Irish helping Kat with her problems but as the story progresses there is more to their relationship, these two characters come together and help each other get past the demons and heal. Their story is so very real and at times heartbreaking, it was like I was on an emotional roller coaster. As in true Gina fashion, their story is fresh and unpredictable, you never know where she will take you on this ride but where you go you love and like me, you won’t it want to end. And those scenes, you know the ones I am talking about, Gina seriously does not disappoint, that woman can write some unbelievably OMG hot panty wetting scenes, you will need a fan and change of underwear, and always helpful to keep your significant other close by, LOL”You became an addiction. I kept time based on how many hours I got to see you in a day, how many more until I could see you the next”Well Aiden O’Brien is now my newest addiction and will probably be until we meet Gina’s next hot MMA fighter. What is it about her guys that I just can’t get enough and leave me with a massive BBF hangover. And how do I put into words how amazing Aiden and Kat’s story is, how it draws you in, how it makes you feel like you know them and are invested in their story, how it makes you fall in love with them and how it has you feeling every emotion that they feel. How do you put into words how great a book is that when you are done, you are left feeling so many mixed emotions, you are on a book high and have a book hangover all at once.So I will leave it and not spoile the book so you can thoroughly enjoy it and will simply say this, WOW, another amazing 5+ star read from Gina L. Maxwell, Thank you Gina!“Then when I finally got to kiss you…God I think I lost myself to you right then and there. I never expected to feel so much. A big part of me dies a long time ago, but one kiss from you and it started to come back.”
