I have a lot of titles. Jace Connor, Sexiest Soccer Player. Top-Scoring Athlete. America’s Favorite Party Boy.But I’m sick of being what other people expect. Starting with the last one, I’m ready to earn some new nicknames. So I absolutely, positively, can’t go anywhere near my coach’s daughter. Brooke Darringer was warned up and down about my rep as a reformed bad boy when she got hired as … hired as sponsorship manager.
What no one told her was that all my swagger hides a family man who loves his nieces and nephews as much as soccer. And she likes it. She couldn’t be more off-limits, especially as she tries to prove she wasn’t hired for her name.
I truly want to stay on the straight-and-narrow, but it isn’t just her sexy-as-sin body that’s tempting me. Her warmth and bubbly personality are everything I never knew I wanted. Brooke is trying her best to keep things strictly professional, but all these late-night gym sessions and covert dinners might just convince her I’m finally done playing.

Layla Hagen has done it again. She gave another excellent addition to the Connor Family Series. I do have to say this book is kind of bittersweet for me, because I know there is only 1 more sibling and then this series will come to an end. I hate to say good-bye to the Connors and even the Bennetts.
Layla’s family sagas always leaving me with a huge smile on my face. Her books are the perfection mixture of humor, sex and romance. Yes she even throws in some drama to keep things interesting.
Fighting For You is the fifth book in the Connor Series. It is a standalone novel and told in Dual POV. I thought the flow and pace of this story was spot on. I was immediately swept up in the story and I didn’t want to put it down. I would recommend reading this series in order so you get the full effect of the Connor family. You don’t have to read her Bennett Series before jumping into the Connor’s. This is a spin-off series and we only see some cameos from the Bennetts.
Fighting For You is the story of Jace and Brooke. Jace is the youngest sibling in the Connor family and is a pro soccer player. He was quite the playboy in years past but now he has decided that isn’t the life he wants. Brooke is the daughter of the head coach of Jace’s soccer team. She just left her job and is looking for something new when her father sets up this new job for her. She is determined to prove to her colleagues and the players that she didn’t get the job because of her dad, but on her merit. Brooke has to work closely with the players because she is in charge of their sponsor deals. Which puts her with Jace, but she only wants to keep things “friendly”, even though the attraction is instant, for both of them. Having been burned in the past Brooke is set in her ways. Can Jace break down her walls? What happens when they take things further and the team find out?? Can these two get their HEA?? Read this book to find out.
I again enjoyed seeing all the Connor clan in this story. I liked we got to see more Hailey , I felt we got to know her better and I look forward to her story and HEA. I also liked getting a cameo of Pippa Bennett. I miss that family 🙂
If you are a fan of family saga’s then jump into the mix with The Connor’s. These stories will entertain you and leave you smiling. Oh…and the Heroes will melt your kindle 😉 Don’t miss Layla’s newest romance novel….it’s worth the read!!!!
Jace is THE sweetest! He definitely fought for what he wanted in this book and he did it in all the sweetest and swoon worthy ways. I love the Connors!
