This fight club has one rule: you must be a veteran…
Resisting her only makes him want her more...
Private investigator Billy Parrish is good at three things—fighting, investigating, and sex. MMA training with the other vets in the Warrior Fight Club keeps his war-borne demons at bay—mostly, and one night stands ensure no one gets too close. But then his best friend from the Army Rangers calls in a favor.
Shayna Curtis is new to town, fresh out of grad school, and full of hope for the future. With a new job starting in a month, she’s grateful when her brother arranges a place for her to stay while she apartment hunts. But she never expected her roommate to be so brooding. Or so sexy.
Billy can’t wait for Shay to leave—because the longer she’s there, the more he wants her in his bed. To stay. He can’t have her—that much he knows. But when fight club stops taking off the edge, Billy lets down his guard…and starts fighting for what’s his.

After she made Billy his sandwich,
Shayna noticed that her brother had finally returned her email. She nearly
gasped as she rushed to open it.
“Everything okay?” Billy asked.
Grinning, she nodded. “Yeah. Ryan
wrote me.” She had to force her eyes not to hurry over the words.
Hey Shay. Shitnubbin is solid B- insult
material. You can do better, squirt.
She grinned at his use of the
million-year-old nickname. As a kid she’d hated it, but it didn’t bother her so
much anymore. Shayna would gladly take any and all teasing her brothers had
ever done if it would bring her other brother back again…
Focus. Right. She mentally shoved
the thoughts back into the corner where they lived, always looming just on the
edge of consciousness.
I’m glad you’re liking the job, but
you don’t owe me a thing. You did this all on your own. All I did was tell you
what you already knew. And Billy’s arm didn’t take any twisting. Though if he
gives you any trouble, tell him I’ll kill him in his sleep.
She sniggered and grinned at Billy.
“He says if you give me any trouble, he’ll kill you in your sleep. So, that’s a
hello, I guess?”
He smirked around a bite. “Pretty
much.”
Seriously though, take your time
finding a place. You have a home there as long as you need it, trust me. I’d rather
you find the right situation then rush into something with a roommate that
doesn’t work out or a place that isn’t safe. You don’t need that kind of
headache. And get Ryan to run a background check on any potential roommates,
will ya?
She rolled her eyes as she talked
to herself. “I don’t think so.”
“What?” Billy asked.
“Nothing. He’s being stupid.”
“Highly doubt that.”
Now she was the one smirking. “Ryan
is capable of massive amounts of stupid. Trust me. He wants me to have
background checks done on potential roommates.”
Billy’s expression grew thoughtful.
“I can do that.”
She rolled her eyes again. “Omigod
stahhhp.”
He chuckled and shrugged. “Makes
sense to me.”
“Well there’s a big
surprise, Ranger Parrish.” She continued on:
It’s hot as balls here and I’ve got
sand in places no one fucking wants sand. Otherwise, everything’s good. Keeping
busy and doing the job. Looks like we’re still on track for getting home before
Thanksgiving. Fingers crossed. I’m glad you’re excited about your new job,
Shayna. You deserve it. After everything.
A stinging sensation unexpectedly
burned against the backs of Shay’s eyes. With those two words, Ryan had said so
freaking much. More than they hardly ever even broached, as if talking about
Dylan—and her role in his death—was a poison that neither of them wanted to
drink. She blinked fast to force the threatening tears away as she read the
rest.
Kick ass. Take names. And get up
the next day and do it all again. Just, next time, don’t make me think of real
burgers and fries, crotchfruit. All we have is mystery meat you know.
Take care, Shay. More soon. It’s
good to hear from you when I’m over here so stay in touch. Ry
Not even the awesomeness of crotchfruit
could fully chase away the impact of After everything. Shayna filled her
water glass again and took a big drink just to have something else to focus on.
Finished with his dinner, Billy
came around to the sink to rinse his plate and the knife she’d used to cut his
sandwich.
Then they stood there. Facing each
other. An arm’s reach apart. Just looking.
And, for her, once again wanting…
Obviously, the desire was all on
her side. But she’d been there, done that, and had the sexual frustration to
prove it.
4.5 Stars
Fighting For What’s His is the second title in the Warrior
Fight Club Series. This is a title with
strong themes of family and friendship told in a dual point of view.
Billy is a former Army Ranger, who suffers PTSD as an after
effect of being injured whilst deployed in a war torn country. After
being discharged from the Army, he’s lost his purpose, and the Warrior Fight Club
is his saving grace, and gives him strong friendship with others who are
suffering as well. When his best friend
asks him to loan out his spare room to his younger sister, who knew it would change
his life.
Shayna is enigmatic, whilst she’s confident, strong willed, passionate
and independent, it hides a deep seated vulnerability. I loved that she is so kind, caring and
compassionate.
Both characters are well developed, complex and endearing,
yet flawed and dealing with the events of their past. They are both stubborn and suffer from guilt,
shame and regret.
I loved the banter this pair share it’s fun, sassy, flirtatious
and whilst at times full of emotion there are also moments of humour. Although their connection and chemistry is
undeniable, they both do their best to deny their budding feelings, and create
a lovely friendship.
If you enjoy an emotional and passionate romance Fighting For
What’s His is the title for you.
