Kaden I fell in love once and it was amazing. Until it wasn’t. I swore to protect her. Until I didn’t. I swore to love her forever. Until forever came too soon. After I lost her, I swore I would never fall in love again. Until I met Ashley.Ashley I depended on a man once. Until he walked out. I gave him my everything. Until he left me and our son with nothing. From then on I knew the only person … I knew the only person I could depend on was myself. Until I met Kaden.
I’m not sure when or how it happened, but Kaden has embedded himself into my life, stealing my heart. Sounds like a good thing, right?
Wrong! Because while Kaden has my heart locked and secure, his heart was given to a woman who can’t give it back.
Now I am fighting for his love, hoping he can leave his past behind him and find a future with me.

I have always loved Kaden and Ashley. Their friendship is amazing.
Their story was amazing to read. I couldn’t imagine going through what either one of them has. I just want to hug them both. I also want to yell at them to see what is right in front of them!!
I can relate to Ashley as far as being independent and doing things on your own. I don’t like asking for help.
Really enjoyed their book. I highly recommend this whole series.
I should have known better than to start a Nikki Ash book at 10pm. Especially with it being the book I have been looking forward too. Nikki Ash has become one of my favorite authors and her stories have stayed with me. I can’t seem to get enough of her work.
This group of friends is some I have grown to love. None of them were raised the same. None of them have had it easy. But there is two major things they have in common, UFC and their strength.
No matter what character it is, their strength shows through it all. All the ups, all the downs, and all the sideways. They all have a no give up attitude. Their world might be crumbling, but they won’t go down without a fight. Which makes total sense because UFC is such a big part of all their lives.
This story, and this ‘couple’, have been the one I have been anticipating on reading the most. I have loved seeing Kaden and Ashley’s friendship grow, but of course, I knew there was more there. So much more. But I definitely wasn’t expecting what I got. I wasn’t expecting for THAT to be their past, hell even their present.
Kaden is the stay single, be a bachelor for the rest of his life, kind of man. He’s never been with a girl more than once nor does he plan too. He is more than OK with leaving a line of one night stands in his wake. His heart is never something he will give away, at least not again. His best friend Ashley is the only woman he has gotten close too, but that’s all they can be, is friends. He can’t give her more. He doesn’t deserve more. He doesn’t deserve happiness. Or so he thought.
Ashley is a single mother who will do everything in her power to protect and provide for her son. She has always been able to make ends meet and to make a good life for them, until her past slapped her in her face. So she had to do the only thing she could, sell her soul to the devil. No one, not even her friends, know the things she is going through. Being an independent woman is important to her. Needing someone else’s help, much less a man’s help, is not something she is ok with. Until she realizes there is one man she wants, help and all. But it’s the one man she could never have.
These two together, friendship or relationship, are hilarious. They had me giggling and laughing out loud through the whole thing. They are just crazy! I absolutely love them. I have loved them from the get go and was rooting for them, because let’s face it, we all want the couple who isn’t supposed to be together, to be together. Like they are forbidden fruit or something. I loved them as friends and I knew if they would put their BS aside, I would love them as more.
Finally finding out about Kaden’s past had me on the verge of tears and my heart broken. Then hearing about Ashley’s had me pissed and wanting to beat someone up. Nice combination, right?! Yeah it was. It was pretty epic!! Haha
This book tho…I can’t even. Better yet, this series…just read them.
Read them all!
Fall in love with them all!
Laugh with them all!
Fight with them all!
I promise, it’s worth it!!
Kaden and Ashley – the battle of who can be the most stubborn. Ashley’s ex walked out on her and her son leaving her with piles of debt that forced her take on a second job and incur debt from a loan shark. Kaden is her best friend, they spend most nights together unless she is working her night job, then he is watching her son for her. He has the ability to help her but she refuses to take any help from him. She has been in love with him for years but he friend zoned her because he suffered a tragedy years ago that makes him think that he isn’t able to love or be in love ever again.
Kaden and Ashley both have tragic stories for very different reasons and they are both stubborn as all get out. When Kaden finally realizes that he is allowed to love again and has been in love with Ashley he wants to take care of her and help her with her struggles but still remains entirely too stubborn. But I loved how understanding she was of his past and vowed that she wouldn’t let him forget it – that it was okay to feel the pain of that loss and that it wouldn’t take away from their love for each other. Both Kaden and Ashley are very likeable characters and their story was fun. Despite all their heartbreak and tragic stories these two were so much fun to read. Another book that I thoroughly enjoyed by this author.
5 “Puzzle Pieces” Stars
In the last few days, I’ve been literally obsessed with the Fighting Series! I was excited to dive into Ashley and Kaden’s story, but at the same time sad, because it meant the series is almost over.
Fighting for your Love was hands down my favorite of the series! There was just something so special about Kaden and Ashley’s relationship that really got to me. I just couldn’t get enough of their effortless connection. Nikki Ash stole my heart with this marvelous book bursting with feels and mystery!
While I loved every single hero of the Fighting Series, Kaden had something that called to me even more! His alphaness and protectiveness over Ashley had me eager for them to take the plunge toward a real relationship. Their friendship is so freaking pretty and they certainly looks like a real couple with the way they act together. The sparks flying between them with the underlying pull only grow and becomes more complex all read long. But Kaden has a tragic past he can’t let go of, making a possible romance with Ashley complicated while he denies his feelings for her. When they finally succumb to their magnetic pull, it’s explosive and gorgeous. Kaden is a dirty talker with a side of sweet! The perfect man!
Not only Kaden has a stunning connection with Ashley, but also her son Tristan. He’s truly a great role model for this boy! The scenes they share had me starry-eyed!
Ashley is also a very memorable heroine. I enjoyed her sense of responsibility and her drive to provide for her son at any cost. She’s independent and strong in spite of everything crumbling down around her. She has difficult decisions to make, but wants to prove her independence, rejecting her friends and Kaden’s help. It only puts her in dangerous situation where she’s in over her head.
The suspense was really interesting in this novel with some parts taking unexpected turns. I was glued to my kindle all read long with the level of intensity this book provided. Add the group of fighters and their families sharing true friendship and support, this read was a flawless entertainment. It’s bittersweet to finish this series, but at least I know their is a novella and spin-off series of the second generation to keep me satisfied now!
Fighting For Your Love is Kaden and Ashley’s book. I loved their friendship/relationship! The way Kaden would take care of Ashley and Tristan was everything. I loved Kaden and Ashley alot! This was a great read!
Finally the long awaited finale to Nikki Ash’s Fighting Series has arrived. I love this series and after having hints throughout the previous books it was my absolute pleasure to read the story of Ashley and Kaden…
Kaden has experienced a great loss, Ashley a great betrayal. She is in love with him, he is incapable of romantic love (or so he thinks).
This is an amazing story of learing to live again with a little help from your friends and a good woman.
I absolutely loved this story. The characters are strong, their story heartbreaking and as icing on top is the cute kid…
Though I don’t like the fact that this series is ending, I do love how it did…
I finished the first book in the Fighting Series with a smile happy to have meet Liz and Cooper…. then I read the next and the next until I finally picked up Kaden and Ashley’s Story Fighting for your Love and literally fell in love with both of them as well as Tristen!! Nikki Ash brings us a swoon worthy, friends to lovers, heart wrenching story of loss, love and the beauty of finding your missing puzzle piece!! I loved every minute of this book and whole heartedly recommend it to everyone!!
Ashley and Kaden are both carrying some baggage, but can they let it go and find the true love they both desire? Ashley is a single mom doing everything to keep her son safe and cared for, in Kaden she finds a best friend but then she suddenly wants more and he is keeping her at arm a length. Can they overcome their secrets and learn to trust.
This book does not disappoint, not that I would ever expect it too. But oh my gosh, I feel like I have been waiting for Kaden to come out of his shell since the beginning and to finally see everything he has gone through, his heartbreak and struggles was honestly eye opening and just so representative of his character as a whole..
Ashley is one of the strongest female characters ever, though I feel like Nikki Ash’s characters are always so strong. But Ashley has gone through abuse and just being this true to life single Mom. What she does for Tristan putting everything else to the side to provide and make sure he never is away from her, is just so much of what a Mom should be and want to do for their child. She also puts herself aside in ways.
Kaden & Ashley, are both stubborn and don’t think either deserve love which is such BS because they both clearly do. And what they have found in one another is once in a lifetime. Kaden is amazing with Tristan as well and does what ever he can to make sure he is taken care of.
I love how they handle all the twists and turns of their relationship let it be friendship or lovers.
If I could give this book more than 5 stars, I totally would. Throughout this entire amazing series, Kaden and Ashley have been the couple that I couldn’t wait to learn more about and wow did Nikki Ash deliver.
I knew Ashley was having a hard go at things but to learn the things she was silently dealing with was heartbreaking. I did not expect Kaden to be dealing with so much as well. Ashley has had a hard hand being a single mom and dealing with what life has thrown at her but she has never given up and that is a part of why I love her so much! Kaden is her best friend that she can go to for anything but she has left him in the dark for so much. Even with the secrets and half truths, Kaden and Ashley become the couple everyone strives to be.
Even though this book is a stand alone, the entire series is amazing. Nikki brings us on an MMA ride that you will not want to get off of. The characters are real and deal with real life issues. I read this book in one sitting and I bet you will too. Definitely get started today!
I have liked all of the books in the fighting series, but fighting for your love is my favorite. Kaden as well as Ashley have great chemistry with one another. I loved the fact that they both loved fiercely and protected those close to them.The author has a way or telling the story that makes you feel as if you are looking threw the window watching the story unfold before your eyes. I am sad that this is the last book in the series , but am looking foward to what she has in store for her readers in the future.
Kaden… Oh Kaden… That beautifully broken man. He was so strong yet so scared, he wouldn’t grab what was right in front of him.
I fell in love with this series from the beginning, but I never felt that connection to Kaden that I felt for the other guys. He was sort of a sleeper character in the background, and I was a little skeptical, and didn’t think his story would touch my heart, like the first three.
Well I’m eating my words! Kaden and Ashley’s story blew me out of the water, so to speak. When we learned of both characters’ back stories, I was so proud of the strength they both found to be able to survive.
Let’s talk about Ashley. That girl had to prove her mettle! She’s a single mother, living on a teacher’s salary, and drowning, so she takes a cocktail waitressing job as well. She was bound and determined to clean up the mess her deadbeat ex left her. Kaden kept offering his help, but she was dead set on not depending on any man ever again. It was up to Kaden to break down those walls Ashley erected around her heart, and convince her that they are so much stronger together.
Fighting For Your Love became my favorite book in the series. I swear, each story gets better, and Nikki’ s writing improves with each book. I would recommend this series to anyone who’ll listen! I know she has a couple more books in the works for this gang, but this is the end for the original four guys, and I’m a little sad. I love this makeshift family that was created. Thank you Nikki for giving us these fighters and women that healed their hearts
Oh Nikki Ash did her thing again!!! I did not expect this best friends to lovers story to WOW ME SO MUCH!!! An AMAZINGLY written storyline with complex characters that have your emotions riding on a rollercoaster. She had me swooning over the sexiness that is Kaden and falling hard for strong, determined yet frustrating at times Ashley. I love these two characters, but Tristan and Bella stole my HEART!! I loved everything about this book especially the meaning behind the storyline that made my heart beat in ways it hasn’t in awhile.
If you are looking for a FIVE STAR book to devour, THIS IS IT!!! Now bring on Bella and Tristan!!
This is the fourth book in the fighting series! All book are stand alone but it is recommended you read her first book fighting for a second chance! Wow this book had me in a emotional roller coaster from page 1 to the end! I screamed and cried and even wanted to throw my iPad at certain areas in the book!!! Ashley And Kaden are best friends but what happens when you want to be more than friends? And what happens when your secrets come out? I was blown away with another amazing book by this author!!!!!
Fighting for your Love is all about the battle. No one knew the full story, hell if they knew any part it was a miracle. But when he finally admits what she means to him he will have to face his past and it may be sooner than he wants. It’s hard enough fighting a past that is up close and personal it’s harder still when the past is just that. As sweet and loving as he is he may not be able to save her from herself. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to do it all on your own, but sometimes you just have to tap out and ask for help.
I love how this author brought these two together, the broken and broke single mother and the jaded best friend. Love the kid especially later towards the end of the book. Totally adorable. I like this author and that her characters truly battle for every bit of what they get and it works out well.
Ashley has been in love with her best friend Kaden but he keeps pushing her away. Ashley has been used by men all her life except for Kaden the man who has always been there but if they cross that line will she lose the most important man in her and her son’s life? Kaden realizes he wants what he never thought he could have and that is all because of Ashley. Will Kaden continue to keep Ashley at arms length or will he start fighting for her love?
I love this series so much and I have been waiting for Ashley and Kaden’s story. Nikki Ash did not disappoint. This book is full of heat, romance and love. Ashley is so strong and she has fought so much to make sure her son is happy. Kaden has such a big heart but he is also hurting from his path. The journey of Kaden and Ashley is so sweet, I loved this book. I would definitely read this book over and over again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!
