In this second of the Kingman Brothers series, Aiden Kingman
is reunited with the woman he mistakenly wronged seven years ago...and this
time around, he’s determined to make things right.
Seven years ago, Aiden Kingman had to choose between betraying Delanie Clark and her father or staying loyal to his father’s company. He chose his father—losing Delanie in the process—and he’s regretted it ever since. Now as CEO and partner in Kingman Partners International, he needs to finalize buying a retreat property, but there’s one major hold up: Delanie is the contract negotiator for the owner, and she doesn’t trust him.
Delanie and her father lost everything when Aiden’s father lied about his intentions for buying her family’s mountain retreat. She swore that she would never have anything to do with Aiden Kingman again. But now she’s facing him across the negotiating table, and sparks that had previously been stamped out reignite between them. When tragedy places the deal on the line, will they put their history behind them? Or will the deal cost them both their second chance at love?

For the most part, I enjoyed this one. I didn't like it as much as the first book. The main reason was Delanie. I really never warmed up to her character. I'm the type of person who likes to communicate, especially when I have an issue with someone who I think betrayed my trust. Delanie was never really interested in listening to Aiden and I found that incredibly frustrating. She even pulled it toward the end. I can't imagine she is someone who would let go of that habit that quickly. What saved the book for me was Aiden. I really liked him and was rooting for him to get what he wanted in all aspects of his life. His ending was very satisfying.
This is a pretty quick read. It works well as a stand alone, but the first one, Forget You, is worth trying out as well.
Read the an exclusive excerpt from FIGHT FOR YOU:
Delanie pulled the sheet over her head as
she lay in bed. She’d take anything to get rid of Aiden—a surprise zit on her
nose, the tequila hangover of death, eighteen bad hair days—it would all be
worth it just to get some peace.
The medicine the
doctor had prescribed made her sleepy, but every time she woke up, Aiden was
there, giving her water, handing her more pills, or hovering just outside the
bedroom, waiting for her to come out of the bathroom and get back into bed.
But even in a
drugged haze, she couldn’t ignore the obvious about him. Yesterday, he’d
brought her lunch after he’d gone for a run. The black running tights and
matching long-sleeved workout shirt he’d worn had molded to his torso and legs.
He’d smelled like sweat—the good kind that made her want to run her hands all
over him and grab his solid-looking ass.
Delanie glanced at
the digital clock on the bedside table. He was usually in her room by eight
thirty sharp, reminding her not to exert herself and stay in bed. It was almost
nine. Was Aiden still working out? This was her chance to take an extra-long
shower without him banging on the door, checking on her. Just as she swept back
the covers, he walked in the bedroom, shirtless, carrying a breakfast tray.
“Good morning.
Sorry, I overslept.” Heavy lids emphasized his hazel eyes. A morning beard
framed the angles of his face. Black sweat pants rode low on his hips. As he
leaned down to place the tray of food on her lap, warmth radiated from him,
along with the faint scent of his spicy cologne.
No one wore
just-woke-up sexy like he did. When they were together, snuggling had been her
favorite thing to do with him in bed. Okay, maybe her second favorite.
He stood and
rested a hand on his hip. From the shape of his cock, that bad boy was roaming
free. “How are you feeling?”
Feverish and in
need of an orgasm—stat.
“Better.”
“Good.” He gave
her a lopsided grin. “If you need me, I’ll be in the shower in the spare
bathroom.”
A memory she
couldn’t stop roared in. Aiden in the shower at Clearmount. Head thrown back,
with soap suds gliding down his shoulders, winding through the muscles of his
torso and down his muscular legs as water sluiced over him.
“Delanie?”
Aiden calling her
snapped Delanie partially back to the present. She had to blink several times
to erase the conjured up image of him standing naked in the bedroom doorway.
“Yes?”
He pointed to the
bottle of pills on the nightstand. “Don’t forget to take your medicine.”
