Worth Fighting For by Laura Kaye

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I saw the chance to read Worth Fighting For by Laura Kaye as part of the Kristen Proby Crossover Collection I was super excited. And I can not deny that I completely loved this book. It’s been a while since I had the chance to add something from Laura Kaye into my blog schedule as it books up so far in advance most times. Regardless, I am a longtime fan and truly loved this story. This dual perspective, military romance is set in Washington DC with the brother to Willa from Waiting for Willa by the extremely talented Kristen Proby. Jesse Anderson is a twenty-year Navy EOD Veteran and it took exactly two seconds to fall for him hook, line and sinker. 😉 He’s sexy, laid-back and self-deprecating but his feelings for Tara and his dedication to his country made him the perfect hero for this romance. Set in the Warrior Fight Club series, readers will also love the ties to previously explored characters and the MMA trope. But the true star of this story for me was Tara Hunter, the heroine. I seriously loved Tara. Also a veteran, Tara struggles with debilitating anxiety after a diving accident that nearly cost her her life. Tara’s strength and depth was well documented and she’s my favorite type of heroine. Jesse and Tara have the kinda insta-attraction that leads to a night between the sheets and will suck you straight into the story as it did me. Worth Fighting For is the perfect example of Laura Kaye’s writing styles and since it’s been a while since I have read her words, I was reminded all over again why she’s such an amazing author. This story is a novella, but I found that nothing short of five stars would due—if you read my reviews, it’s rare for me to give a novella more than four stars. Yet, my reasons for often giving lesser ratings are largely absent. The story showed depth, had great character progression, and this books plot was fantastic and relatively easy to read. Yes, it’s a military romance, and yes, it’s a little more angsty due to that, but the romance itself was easy and believable without any huge plot twists. Its sexy, and well laid out—I read it in one sitting and would definitely recommend it far and wide!!! Everything I LOVE about a Laura Kaye romance.

Worth Fighting For Details:

Imagine having a one-night stand so perfect you hope it could become more—and then finding that person works at the new job that’s your fresh start…

Worth Fighting For, from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Laura Kaye is now LIVE!

Getting in deep has never felt this good…

Commercial diver Tara Hunter nearly lost everything in an accident that saw her medically discharged from the navy. With the help of the Warrior Fight Club, she’s fought hard to overcome her fears and get back in the water where she’s always felt most at home. At work, she’s tough, serious, and doesn’t tolerate distractions. Which is why finding her gorgeous one-night stand on her new dive team is such a problem.

Former navy deep-sea diver Jesse Anderson just can’t seem to stop making mistakes—the latest being the hot-as-hell night he’d spent with his new partner. This job is his second chance, and Jesse knows he shouldn’t mix business with pleasure. But spending every day with Tara’s smart mouth and sexy curves makes her so damn hard to resist.

Joining Tara’s wounded warrior MMA training program seems like the perfect way for Jesse to blow off steam—except now they’re getting in deep and taking each other down day and night. And even though it breaks all the rules, their inescapable attraction might just be the only thing

truly worth fighting for.
