Publisher's summary

Sometimes, the biggest victories happen when you’re brave enough to stop fighting the fall....

Cameron

Stay on your feet. That’s my motto. When I lost my fighting career and my family, I stayed on my feet, wielding apathy like a shield. I didn’t allow anything—or anyone—that might bring me to my knees to get too close.

Now, I’m CEO of the UFL. I can’t afford to show any weakness if I want to get back to the octagon.

And Eve? I’m quickly learning she might be my biggest weakness yet....

Eve

I’m angry and bitter. My romantic history made sure of that. I’ve been able to repel the advances of even the most persistent men for a long, long time. So, I should be able to avoid a much older alpha male jerk like Cameron. But I don’t.

Now, I’m wondering just how much abuse my heart can take. Because in my experience, when life has you on the ropes, it never lets up. Not until you go down and stay down....

Fighting the Fall, book four in the Fighting series, is an emotional, angsty, older man/younger woman, contemporary, steamy sports/MMA romance with a guaranteed happily ever after. Download today and get ready to fall for Cameron and Eve.

Not What I Expected

Cam and Eve's story had some hard parts if you are a parent. Being a mom of two (boy & girl as well), anytime there is heartbreak when it comes to a child whether it be by abuse, an accident or death it is hard to imagine as you can't help but wonder 'what if that happened to me'? I don't want to give too much away about what happened so I won't go into as much detail or synopsis on this one since the end caught me off guard with the outcome of the accident from the beginning of the book.

I sympathized with Cam with the guilt he had and why he kept trying to coddle and care for his ex wife after the accident 14 years earlier that turned her into an emotional, sensitive mess who developed a drinking addiction. With that being said 14 years is too long and I was glad when he finally came to that internal realization and cut that cord. I loved his son Ryder and wish there was more on him or his own side book. He seemed like it'd be a good addition.

Not having the type of parents or childhood that Eve had I had a harder time sympathizing with why she would continue to let her father be a part of her life and continually take from her and be verbally and physically abusive to her. Her inner monologue would war back and forth in her head with why she should just cut him out, yet how she didn't because she just wanted to feel loved by him since she never felt wanted or loved by her mother or father. So when it came to her side I had a harder time understanding her thoughts and actions.

I loved the ending and the blended family and hope and look forward to get snapshots of more of these two in the rest of the series. Do they get married, do they have kids??? Who knows, but I hope by the end of the series.

The series is getting better

The east book is still my favorite, but this one was pretty good. I do have to say that at one point I wanted to reach into the book and slap them both though. I can't wait to hear the next book.

Taboo mma romance. 1POV. HEA. Standalone.

This is a taboo (female is 21 and male is 38) romance where the man is a retired mma fighter. It’s a “hot damn” book and a bit of an emotional listen, but it is a good one. He narration is great. The HEA is cute. This can be listened as a standalone but there are books previous to this and after.

🤭 Complainer Comments (spoilers)

Why oh why does the main female keep opening her front door over and over again without looking? Especially after being attacked by doing so?

Keeps getting better

These books are getting better and better. From book one the narrators and the stories kept me downloading them. In this book the characters develop also through the story and that was missing in the previous books.

Why!!!

I really like this series. But I found myself yelling at the book telling Cameron to go away. Eve can't be this weak! The fact that this book got such a response from me , shows what excellent writing this was. Cameron and Eve are 2 of most pathetic undeserving people I've ever read about. Oh I'm still so disgusted! But great writing! Thanks for the rollercoaster!

Fighting the Fall Review

this series gets better with each book & even more amazing with every audio.

Ryan & Erin bring these characters to life in a way you can't even comprehend.

they bring so much more emotion, passion, and humor to this already well loved book.

A fascinating tale

This novel is so magical. I am just speechless, this story is so realistic and I am so happy I took a chance on this book. This book is the only book I've learned something from, this story has touched my heart. I'm a puddle of tears over here ladies and I really hope you all take a chance.

Always a good listen!

This series is my "go to" series when I need something entertaining. This story is book 4 in the series, it is a stand alone, although I recommend reading the others as well. This is not my favorite -- not because of the angst of the May-December relationship, I just did care for the weakness in Eve's character. I realize I am in the minority here; she is a likable character, I just did not feel that her justification of being "used" by men was a valid one. Cam on the other hand is a swoon worthy man with real emotional demons that were relatable. I recommend the listen and it is credit worthy! I just wanted to forewarn those of you who like strong female heroines she is not the strongest. This series is one of the best I have read.

Did it again

This author just makes her characters so realistic. I am blown away by the challenges they over come.

Fighting the Fall

Cameron, Cameron, Cameron....what can I say about him. He is hot, alpha, and aside from Rex, he is so much fight within him to come back from his past and get what he wants. He is an all new breed of fighter for the series. Enter Eve, who we already know is Raven's BFF and you have a man who thought he knew exactly what is was fighting for and she flips that all upside down. You also get to see what's going on in Blake and Jonah's lives with the ladies who stole their hearts. As always the story flows with absolute perfection. I felt every emotion that was put into these pages and fell in love with one more fighter. This is a great story about learning to fall and know you will be ok and you can bounce back even stronger. I don't do spoilers and there is NO way I would give anything away and ruin this story for you, but I will share a quote that will stick with me for the rest of my life.

"Falling isn't always failure. Sometimes the biggest victories only happen when we're brave enough to let go and give in to the pull."

Spot on narration!! I could listen to Erin and Ryan all day!
