Fighting The Fall by Jennifer Snow Review
3 Smooches
Synopsis
Hollywood actress Parker Hamilton will do anything to get back in the spotlight. Since breaking up with one of the industry’s most successful directors, she’s been in a string of box office busts. Now, she’s found the role of a lifetime in a film about a female MMA fighter and she knows exactly who to ask for help learning the ropes…
When Tyson Reed sees a blonde bombshell walk into his gym looking for training, he wants to refuse. He knows her type and he doesn’t need any unwanted distractions while preparing for his upcoming title fight. But if he can’t pay off his brother’s debts, Tyson could lose his gym… and the reputation his family has had in the MMA world for three generations.
Tyson never thought he’d be going one-on-one with a spoiled, out-of-shape Hollywood actress. But this is one bout he just may not win—or want to…
Review
‘What an asshole. Tyson Reed had to be one of the worst men she’d come in contact with . . . ever. He was arrogant, cocky, and rude.’
Fighter books are a guilty pleasure of mine so when I saw this second book on Netgalley I jumped on it. Tyson was the alpha mean man I expected and looked forward to. Parker is trying to get back to the Hollywood starlet status she once held but has lost since her break up with a famous director. After finally finding the role she thinks will get her there she has just weeks to train to look and act like a female MMA fighter. She turns to the one man she thinks can get her there, Tyson Reed. One problem, Tyson wants nothing to do with the starlet who just walked in his door despite his instant attraction to the sexy blonde.
“Why is it that you’re the last thing I need right now, but the only fucking thing I want?”
I enjoyed all the individual elements of this story. I liked both the heroine and hero but together I just did not feel the connection. I was more wrapped up in the subplots around Conner and Dane than I was invested in Parker and Tyson. I seem to be in the minority here so maybe it is just a case of not the right book for the right reviewer. Still an enjoyable fast and easy read and I am actually really excited to read Dane’s book.
