Book Review- Fighting For Everything (Warriors Fight Club #1) by Laura Kaye


Loving her is the biggest fight of his life…

Home from the Marines, Noah Cortez has a secret he doesn’t want his oldest friend, Kristina Moore, to know. It kills him to push her away, especially when he’s noticing just how sexy and confident she’s become in his absence. But, angry and full of fight, he’s not the same man anymore either. Which is why Warrior Fight Club sounds so good.


Kristina loves teaching, but she wants more out of life. She wants Noah—the boy she’s crushed on and waited for. Except Noah is all man now—in ways both oh so good and troubling, too. Still, she wants who he’s become—every war-hardened inch. And when they finally stop fighting their attraction, it’s everything Kristina never dared hope for.

But Noah is secretly spiraling, and when he lashes out, it threatens what he and Kristina have found. The brotherhood of the fight club helps him confront his demons, but only Noah can convince the woman he loves that he’s finally ready to fight for everything.

My Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐

Laura Kaye really knows how to write wounded hero's and the strong woman who fight for them. 

Kristina Moore is trying all she knows how to, to reconnect with her best friend. She knows Noah Cortez, he's her other half, her best friend. But she is slowly discovering that he may not be same man he once was. That he lost a part of himself when he was forced back home. But Kristina knows she can't give up on him. When he pushes her away, she knows she'll have to give him space. Even if it goes against everything she is feeling, to fight for him, to make him confide in her. 

Since Noah's been home, Kristina's feelings for her best friend are stating to take a new path. And maybe these feelings she never looked to close at, that are starting to surface, have always been there. But taking a chance, trying to break through to Noah, to put her feelings and heart out there, is scary. If she can't get through to him, to make him see they that he can trust her to shoulder his pain, he may push her away for good. 

Noah Cortez has come back from the Marines, wounded, broken, and not the man he was when he joined. Feeling lost, Noah is finding himself slowly but surely spiraling towards destruction. The only small bright light in the darkness for Noah is Kristina. But lately his anger and all the demons he's struggling to face, are dimming that light. Noah knows he needs to fight, but its so much easier and less painful, to ignore it all, to silence the pain and push away his best friend. A friend he is seeing differently more and more.

He would love nothing more than to explore the way he is feeling with Kristina. But Noah refuses to bring her down with him. Noah doesn't feel whole most days, worthy, he couldn't chance getting closer to Kristina to ruin them, her, with all that is going on inside him. Warrior Fight Club is the saving grace Noah needs, and in that ring, surrounded by men and women who know what he is gong through, Noah may have that chance to show himself and Kristina how strong he is to fight, for himself, for her, for them. 

Fighting For Everything, shows a beautiful romance blossoming between friends, which is a favorite for me. It was a sweet, deep, and pain filled story. It brings awareness to mental health, and struggles that Veterans go though. I thought Laura Kaye did a great job blending the two in this story. We get the sexiness, and great chemistry of Kristina and Noah's relationship, with the rawness of Noah and his mental health. You really feel the emotions and high and lows of these two characters, but more so with Noah. It was gritty and sad, and will make you cheer for Noah to fight, and for Noah and Kristina to fight for each other. 

I cant wait for even more in the world of the Warrior Fight Club.
