Is this a love worth fighting for?
One man is haunted by a past he can’t outrun.
One man is branded by a legacy he can’t hide.
One man is burdened by a guilt he can’t deny.
The usually peaceful town of Riverside Falls has had its very core shaken by traumatic events. Three men find themselves at the center of it all, thrown together by circumstances beyond their control.
Sawyer Levy came to … beyond their control.
Sawyer Levy came to Riverside Falls four years ago to escape from…well…life, but when he finds himself in need of care, he’s forced to trust not one but two men for the first time in years.
Grant Belford is riddled with shame in the tragic aftermath of incidents he didn’t see coming, blaming himself for the terror that rocked his town over the last few months.
Captain Mason Lockley is struggling with the recent events that have shaken up the quiet town of Riverside Falls, tormented by one thought, over and over again: Did he miss the signs because of jealousy?
Having no choice but to lean on each other, the three men suffering with their own demons aren’t expecting to have such an undeniable connection—or to fall so hard. It’s a love they don’t understand, but will they realize it’s worth fighting for?

Angstful and steamy threesome in a guilt competition!
4-4.5stars
This emotional story with plenty of steam reveals the hidden insecurities and guilt felt by Mason, Grant and Sawyer, all stunned in Thirst for You, an earlier book in the series, by a series of life-endangering attacks by someone in their circle. Each man suffers repercussions and needs substantial psychic healing, with Sawyer undergoing lengthy physical healing as well. Author Jaclyn Quinn does a great job describing their inner thoughts and their step by step road to recovery. Equally fascinating is each of the three’s backstory and their conflicted approach to the attraction they feel for each other.
I read Thirst for You (really a top-notch MM romantic suspense) a year before this book came out and must admit it took a good ways into this story before my memory was jogged enough to make sense of the traumatic events in the earlier story that carry over. I did not particularly like the way Fight for You held back important points about the attack and only released pieces by dribs and drabs. It left me confused and, had I not read the earlier book at all, might have turned me off since Lisa’s deeds are never clearly described here and they are key to this drama.
Still, it’s a good romance with a crew of supportive characters, including colleagues at the local bar who rival the closeness of the Cheers gang and some great parents, particularly the moms who definitely won’t let the “boys” go hungry!
I read a complimentary advance copy of the book; this is my voluntary and honest review and opinions expressed are completely my own.
Mason, Sawyer, and Grant
What an impressive story. Complicated lives, complicated relationships, miscommunication, misunderstanding, hurt, so much hurt. It felt all plausible.
Their struggle was immense, their love and connection even bigger.
When the three are together it showed the most beautiful firework!
Book 2 of this series is about what happened to them before the beginning of book 4. It can be read as a stand-alone, only at times, I wished I had read book 2.
This story starts at a point where Sawyer and Drew (Grant’s Brother) are in the hospital. Grant feels responsible for Sawyer after all that happened. There is a lot of misunderstanding between them.
Mason took Grant in his house because Grant can’t ever return to it. Grant and Mason have a history together. Grant and Mason offer Sawyer a room in Mason’s house to recover. Three men together in one house.
There are a lot of things happening and all very captivating. Hurt, comfort.
Secrets and hurt of the past are in the way of recovering the soul, and a future together. A lot of healing is necessary.
Three dear and lovable men are opening up to each other.
A very satisfying storyline, awesomely written. A narrative I loved very.
I took a while before the three men got together, but the build-up was awesomely done the tension heavy. The scars were deeply cut, the healing process was heartbreaking, tearing me up more than once.
A wonderful story, a must-read!
I was looking forward to this one for a while.. so glad it’s here!!
Mason, Grant and Spencer are all hugely affected by the recent events for different reasons.
Mason trying to hold them all together as Sawyer and Grant heal from their very different but still debilitating wounds.
I became so invested in their story.
Cheering them on for the hea they deserve.
An emotional story of healing, grief, guilt, second chances, so much fear.. and love.
5 stars.
Happily recommend!! Definitely best read after Thirst For You.
Holy hell!!! This is my favourite book in the series and I’ve been waiting for this once since I read book 2! And the wait was soooo worth it!!
I’d highly recommend reading Thirst for You before this one (as in, you NEED to), not only because it contains spoilers but also to get a better understanding of their dynamic before the events in this book.
This book was just beautiful. I cannot describe how much I love it. Each of them have their demons, their misplaced guilt and it was fantastic to see them conquer it.
I’m very picky about MM+ and I’ve read very few but this is one of the best I’ve read. Mason, Grant and Sawyer fit together so well. This is a slow burn with multiple POV. I like how the POVs are very distinct and easily distinguishable.
I was very curious about Mason and Grant in the 2nd book. Everyone in the town knows they have history but I just realized Mason pined for him 10 years!! I’m glad Grant finally his head out of his arse. Sawyer has so many secrets and it was heart warming to see him growing to trust these men.
Totally recommend this whole series!! Can’t wait for the next book!

The long wait has ended…I’ve been so excited for this book to land on my Kindle you have no idea. I can honestly say this was my most anticipated book so far and I frickin loved every word.
If you’ve read the prior books in the series you know what happened to these men. The physical and emotional scars that were left after the attacks were talking a great toll on all three men. Each was fighting his demons and the attraction that was right below the surface. The slow burn was driving me crazy buuuut they need healing in order to move on. And when they finally came together??? It was pure MAGIC!!
They say true love always finds a way and nobody deserved it more than these three men.
If it’s not clear I ABSOLUTELY LOVED this book and I HIGHLY recommend it!!!
***Review copy received for an honest opinion***
This was a fantastic book and a great addition to the Beyond the Cove series. MMM books are tough and not always done well, but Mason, Sawyer, and Grant’s story is spot on. Not only does the author make you fall in love with each man, but she wrote them in a way that made their thoughts, emotions, and experiences so real. As always, Jaclyn writes great secondary characters; it was nice to read about the other couples in this series and I loved seeing the relationship between all 3 men and Sawyers parents.
My only recommendation with this book would be to reread the 3rd book in the series. As written, it took me a bit to remember who was who and what happened in the previous book, which obviously is a huge part of this storyline. Not a hardship to reread these books though, they are fab!
These three men had a long and tough road in front of them when they originally came together after the accident. They each had demons from their past to fight and overcome before they could invest themselves in a lasting relationship. It was a perfect follow up to Thirst for You and introduced new secondary characters for hopefully future books.
Fight For You by Jaclyn Quinn is the fourth book in the Beyond The Cove series. This is a contemporary romance between three wonderful. Male characters that gave me feels and is everything I was hoping for. This is worthy of our wait…. incredible chemistry that steams up the page, drama that captures your attention, and romance that captures your heart. Everything I wanted for these characters and so much more. Mason, Grant and Sawyer are everything.
