Fighting for Flight (Fighting #1) by Jamie Salsbury

What happens when in order to win, you’re forced to lose?

The only daughter of an infamous Las Vegas pimp, Raven Morretti grew up an outsider. Liberated from the neglectful home of her prostitute mother, she finds solace as a mechanic. With few friends, she’s content with the simple life. Flying under the radar is all she knows, and more than she expects.

Until she catches the eye of local celebrity, UFL playboy Jonah Slade.

Weeks away from his title fight, Jonah is determined to stay focused on everything he’s trained so hard to achieve. Undefeated in the octagon, he’s at the height of his career. But resisting Raven’s effortless allure and uncomplicated nature is a fight he can’t win.

Jonah trades in his bad-boy reputation and puts his heart on the line. But when her father contacts her, setting in motion the ugly truth of her destiny, Jonah must choose. In a high-stakes gamble where love and freedom hang in the balance, a war is waged where the price of losing is a fate worse than death.

Will the hotheaded Jonah be able to restrain his inner fighter to save the woman he loves?

Or will Raven be forced into a life she’s been desperate to avoid?

WOW! This is a brilliant book. I knew within the first chapter that this book was going to blow me away.. And it did.

Jonah and Raven are quite possibly the best book couple ever.

At first glance you would think that its the typical stuff. The boy is a player, boy meets girl, boy falls for girl, boy screws up, they make up and live happily ever after. I can tell you that there is nothing typical about this story.

Yes, they meet and fall very quickly in love but the trouble that this couple face TOGETHER is nail biting, heart wrenching stuff. I felt like my heart was in my mouth for the entire story.

Jonah is pretty much the perfect man. He loves and protects Raven's life as if it was his own. He puts his entire career in jeapordy at the snap of a finger to keep his girl safe. It also adds to the appeal that he a gorgeous hunky cage fighter ;)

Raven is so lovely, I dont think I have ever wanted a character to have a happy ending more than I did for this young woman.

Im all about constructive criticism, but im finding it hard to say anything negative about this book. It was just fantastic.

I cannot wait for the next book which will focus on Blake, I loved his character in this book.

Without a doubt, a 5* book for me.
