Blog Tour: Fighting for Love by LP Dover

Fighting for someone’s heart is more challenging than fighting for a title.

For a time, many years ago, love had grown, love was made, and in the end … love was lost. The decision to leave had been the worst mistake Shelby Dawson could have ever made. However, at the time—ten years ago—she felt her secret needed to stay hidden, even if it broke her heart and the heart of the man she loved. Back then, he was all hers and she was all his, but now things have changed and he isn’t the same guy she knew.

He happens to be the well-known MMA Heavyweight champion and famous bad boy, Matt ‘The Destroyer’ Reynolds, who once before struggled to help his family pay the bills. Now, he has money flowing with each undefeated win and an insurmountable number of women filling his bed. Everything is perfect for the illustrious fighter, until one day it all changes. In walks the girl from his past, the same girl who promised to stick by him but left and never looked back.

Their second chance to make things right will not come easy, for when one mistake is made an unwelcome consequence soon follows. Someone out there wants to rip them apart and they won’t stop until Matt and Shelby pay the ultimate price … their love.

This is one book I could not put down; I read it straight through in one sitting. This is the 4^th book in the Second Chances series, but can be read as a stand-alone. Each book in the series gets better, and this is now one of my favorite series.

To be honest, I love the concept of couples getting a second chance to get their love right. I’m drawn to these types of stories, so this series is perfect for me. Matt and Shelby were high school sweethearts, but Shelby broke Matt’s heart right before she was to leave for college. Of course she had her reasons. She felt that she was protecting him. He thought he just wasn’t good enough. Fast forward 10 years, they are both successful in what they do. Matt is an MMA fighter and Shelby is a sports journalist. Fate throws them in each other’s path again when she has to write a spread on Matt. Feelings and chemistry come rushing to the surface and the rest they say is history. BUT….there is someone plotting against them. Did they find each other again after so long only to lose each other again?

I loved everything about this book. I thought Matt and Shelby were awesome. Matt is such a great guy. He loves deeply and fiercely, and is so protective of Shelby and their relationship. He is determined that it will work this time. He has just the right amount of possessiveness, too. YUM! Shelby is a feisty thing. She is perfect for Matt. She loves him deeply, too, and is strong enough to stand by him. Not only were Matt and Shelby great, but all of the characters were. This is just a really well developed story that shouldn’t be missed. Really, the whole series should not be missed.

USA TODAY Bestselling author, L.P.
