Fighting for Everything

De: Laura Kaye

Narrado por: Andi Arndt

This fight club has one rule: You might be a veteran....

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.

It starts with You

This was my first book by Laura Kaye and I’m glad I went with this one. Christine and Noah have been best friends since childhood, even though he is a couple years older than her. Being discharged from the marines left Noah lost and angry and he couldn’t figure out how to get a handle on it, while Christine just wanted to be there for her friend. I have a soft spot for books where the main character is a military member struggling to adjust to life back at home because its real and way more common that people think. Noah’s struggle was honest and I felt for both him and Christine while he was tail spinning in depression and self disgust. Luckily Noah found a fight club for former military member and they helped him start to heal before it was too late. Noah was definitely the bigger draw for me with everything he was going through but Christine was also a great character, she wanted to help any way she could but she refused to let him walk all over her. The side characters at the WFC were great and I can’t wait to get to their stories!

As always, Andi Arndt did a great job narrating!

❤❤

Love love love Andi Arndt as a narrator . Eek dare I say her male narration always turns me on...
This book made me cry (my husband looking at me like I'm crazy) feeling the realistic portrayal of a Veteran returning home broken and unsure, fighting to find some semblance of peace.
Thank you to all that have served and fought for our freedoms

Awesome story & performance - highly recommend! 🙂

I've read several of Laura Kaye's books and enjoyed them so no surprise this was also wonderful and Andi Arndt's spectacular performance made it even better than reading it myself - so glad I tried the audiobook version! Many thanks to all of you!! 🙂

Big heart for this story

I love listening to Andi Arndt and this is a beautiful story about coming home and not feeling home. This is one of the best portrayals I have read for the coming home injured solider and how he/she deals with their new life.

Can a vet w PTSD and TBI find real love

Noah Cortez is lucky to be alive...at least that's what he's been told, but he's finding it hard to believe since he's dealing with TBI and PTSD. He needs to stay away from his bff, Kristina, who is suddenly tempting him to think and do things that 'just friends' should never consider. Kristina is in love with her bff...cliche' but true...now if only she can help him deal with his PTSD then they can have their HEA...right? Unfortunately, Noah thinks that he is too broken for Kristina and keeps pushing her away. Will their friendship survive when Kristina tries to push for more? Will Noah finally seek the help needed to overcome/deal with his injury and disorder? This is a great story that focuses a bit on the aftermath of war injuries. The author did a fantastic job of balancing the hardship involved with these injuries as well as weaving a story of love, acceptance and forgiveness. Totally worth the read/listen.
