Fighting ror Love, Book 1

De: J.P. Oliver

Narrado por: Barney Parkwynne

Not all lawyers are heartless....

Luke's life couldn't really get any worse. His parents have died; his family bar is failing; he's had to drop out of college; and he's now engaged in a custody battle with his grandparents over his younger brother.

Adam is a drop-dead gorgeous lawyer, representing the grandparents in the custody battle. He isn't pleased to be representing such snobby clients, and he's definitely miffed to be shipped out to the Midwest for this case. But all that changes when he meets Luke. He's handsome, charming...he gets Adam's sense of humor, and definitely deserves to win the case.

They're not supposed to even be talking to one another, much less dating, but both Adam and Luke feel a connection they can't ignore. Can they figure out a way to make it work? Or will the case - and the things they have to do to win it - tear them apart?

If you love tense, sensual, heartwarming gay romance, dive in to Fighting for You tonight.

Unexpected, inconvenient, exceptional connection

Unexpected, inconvenient, but exceptional connection.  

The narrator disappointed me with lack of inflection and a very monotone reading.  

I so enjoyed how each man tried to do the right thing and the struggle they each had with balancing their attraction and what was appropriate. Luke and Adam have misunderstandings, a bit of angst and lots of hope and love. 

We have two really likable men who find themselves in an untenable situation and I was pleased that they found their way to working it out.  

Fighting for You

This is a contemporary MM romance. Adam is a lawyer and Luke is trying to get custody of his little brother. Adam is the opposing sides lawyer. They connect instantly.

Smoldering hot attorney

As an attorney I love when books actually have an attorney as the “hero”. Adam is a big shot lawyer Taking on the custody case of wealthy grandparents wanting to take their grandson away from his brother when his parents die. However when he goes to serve papers on a defendant he realizes his clients are in the wrong (not to mention sparks fly!) Working behind the scenes to help Luke (to his client’s detriment) shows Luke Adam’s true colors and makes him wonder if they truly can have their happily ever after

Endearing characters

I was given a free audio copy from the author and the GRR arc team for review.

Story 3.5 stars. I liked the overall premise. The 1 MC Luke fighting to keep custody of his brother even though he's struggling, against the rich snob grandparents who suddenly make an appearance for the first time. Both the MCs were likeable and they had good chemisty. It's a slow burn but once things happen they are majorly hot with lots of dirty talk which kind of saved the story from being a little too uneventful for me. Without spoilering I'll just say that although I can believe the motives for Adam doing what he did (the motives being his attraction but also his own family history making him want to do the right thing), I just didn't see that it was at all realistic. It would have been more believable if Adam was Lukes lawyer. Though I did find it very endearing how Adam wanted to help Luke. I really liked the way it ended.

Narrator 2 stars. I really wasn't fond of this narrator. The tone of his voice for the dialogue was pleasant but he read so slow I had to majorly speed up the rate. Even then it was very monitone. Even during the moments where u would expect to hear the intensity and emotions and angst, there was very little. (U could hear it in the fights but not in anything else. The really dirty scenes were flat which was disappointing). I did appreciate him differentiating the voices of some of the extra characters but there was no noticeable difference between the 2 Mcs and I found it confusing at times.

Enjoyed!

Great start to the series! I loved the romance mixed with a little bit of suspense and uncertainty throughout this story. Luke and Adam have to face their fears and fight for their HEA, and it wasn't easy.
This was a fun, steamy, and emotional read. I really enjoyed Barney Parkwynne's performance on this audiobook.
