Ripley has dealt with plenty of jerks in the past. So when she meets her new coach, who refuses to work with her, she knows she’ll have a fight on her hands… in more ways than one. Even if he is the sexiest man she’s ever seen, she won’t let anyone treat her less than the fighter she is. But is there more to Ezra Cowen than meets the eye?Ezra moved to Palm Meadows to escape the ghosts of his … of his past. Now he works all day for his uncle and goes home every night to an empty apartment. But when he meets his new neighbor, he feels a spark between the two of them… at least until he finds out who she is. She’s mouthy and doesn’t take no for an answer, which may be just what he needs.
Can two people who thought they’d never find happiness find it with each other? Despite their rocky start, can they learn that love is worth fighting for?

Over the years, men that have made landmark achievements in different facets of life have often been celebrated with very little stories about bad ass women that have excelled in their respective positions.

Short, sweet, and just what I needed
This is my first SE Roberts book, and I loved it! Her contribution to the Girl Power Romance Collection is sweet, swoony, and with just a dash of angst. It’s the perfect story to curl up with on a rainy day.
Loved the push and pull between Ripley and Ezra.
This is my first book by S.E. Roberts. It was a great introduction to her storytelling and writing style. I fell in love with Ripley and Ezra. Both of them had a lot of reservations and fears about opening their hearts.
Ripley is a very strong female who has a traumatic experience lead to her becoming a bad@$$. This female lead doesn’t need a man to help her at all. She refuses to back down and when Ezra’s stubbornness is on full display, she gives just as good as she gets, if not better. When she lets her guard down, magical things happen for her and Ezra. Trust is such a fragile thing though, and it was great to see Ripley and Ezra fight to keep that trust strong.
Ezra is what you would think a typical fighter to be like. He does guard his heart probably more so than his face in a fight. When the lightbulb goes off for him and how he feels about Ripley, it was a great moment. It made me scream FINALLY DUDE! He was a great character.
The secondary characters were great. I do wish Vader had some more appearances, but understand this is a short story. All of the family that floated in and out of the story just helped to make it a well-rounded story.
This is a fairly quick read, but still very well done. I didn’t felt like there were pieces left unattended within the plot and subplots. I might have wished for a little more closure with Ezra’s past, but at the same time, it didn’t need to be dragged on longer than normal.
S.E. is a new author that I would definitely read again. She made me enjoy the story and get lost within the pages of her book. Overall I give this a 5 pointe shoe review.

Fighting for Love was a really quick and fun read! S.E Roberts really did amazing job when writing up the characters for Ripley and Ezra.
Ripley is one of my favorite characters. She is a MMA fighter and she is such a strong take charge kinda girl.
Ezra is her trainer and has some past issues that cause some drama for the way he feels about Ripley but there is no denying their strong connection.
Can Ezra get past his feelings long enough to see the connection between him and Ripley? Can what is brewing between them be worth fighting for?
I highly recommend picking up a copy today. If your looking for a fun and sweet romance, with a strong female character than this is the book for you!
I was given a copy of this book from the author for a fair and honest review.
This book was amazing!! The characters had depth in a short book which is difficult to do. Ripley and Ezra captured my attention and kept it!! I devoured this book! Ezra definitely belongs in my harem!
First book by S.E. Roberts and I loved it! This was such a short sweet book about 2 people finding each other after a troubled past. Ezra is a swoon-worthy hero and Ripley is this bad-ass heroine. I laughed at how they met and fell in love with their HEA. Great Story with so many feels.
What a fantastic story!! I have a thing for strong women in “male” sports and the fact that the main character us an MMA fighter, well tgat is my jam. This book was awesome. A strong bold female lead with an equally strong nale lead, steamy scenes and great dialogue; couldn’t put it down. New to me author and definitely not my last read from her. Loved it. 4.25 stars.
Ripley is looking forward to her new start but her new trainer Ezra isn’t as excited. Both have troubled past and will have to decide if love is worth the fight. I received an ARC of this and volunteered to review it.
I loved this book. I stayed up a lot later than I usually do to finish this book. Its a page turner you can’t put down. You have two people who have their pasts, but can they move on or will they walk away. It’s intense, steamy, tearful, and a bit comical. I have enjoyed this author’s writing. She gets you hooked from the first chapter to the end. She leaves you wanting more. I recommend this book to all.
I absolutely loved Ripley and Ezra. They both have pasts that has scarred them and they didn’t think they could ever open up to someone again and learn to love and trust they did with each other. I loved how they learned to open their hearts and minds and learned to trust and love again. I hope there’s more from them because I want to know more about Ripley’s past.
Once I started Fighting for Love I could not put it down. I loved Ripley and Ezra’s story. S.E Roberts has done it again with another great story. I received this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
Once again S.E. Roberts does not disappoint this book was absolutely fantastic! Once I started Fighting for Love I could not put it down, I had to know what was going to happen next. I absolutely adored Ripley and Ezra. I loved their connection, chemistry, and instant attraction. Ripley was such a strong, badass character, I loved her! This book is an absolute must read, as all of S.E.’s books are.
