Kaye has a great turn of phrase and her characters are fantastic. That's what saves this book, since it's very cliche in plot (what book along this vein isn't, so it's not a huge liability), and since there is a giant streak of "Hero has crush on heroine and suddenly wants to control every aspect of her life, including every move she makes and every person she spends time with." I hate that - like really really hate it. But I did not hate this book.

An alpha wounded warrior and his best friend's little sister - Laura Kaye, honestly hit every trope that could be my favourite in this newest offering by her.
Billy Parrish is an army vet turned PI - who suffers from survivor guilt but is doing his best friend Ryan a favour by letting his sister stay with him since she is new in the city.
Shayna Curtis, on the other hand; is hoping for a new start away from the family she believes blames her for the death of her middle brother. But a new start away as roomies with the man she had a huge crush on since her younger days, isn't ideal but she believes that her crush is long past, so it should be fine now; or so she believes.
What neither of them expected was a charged attraction from the first time they lay eyes on each other.
I loved the easy comrade between Billy and Shayna - how they helped each other through each of their problems and issues; how they became the support system and foundation without them even realizing it. I loved that they became friends; even through their attraction.
The level of angst could have been a lot more intense; considering that Billy is a vet & Shayna is a survivor - some issues that could have been dealt with in a deeper way. I still enjoyed this slow burn romance told in quintessential Laura Kaye manner.

I liked the premise of the book and I will probably look for more in this series..
It's not a "wow" but a solid book with characters and supporting characters I enjoyed.

I adore a "good best-friend's little sibling" romance and Fighting for What's His is a perfect addition to the trope!
Billy Parrish promised his army buddy that he'd do anything for him, even if it means letting his little sister, Shayna Curtis, move into his apartment as she starts her new job in Washington DC.
Letting anyone into his regimented life is especially difficult for this veteran, as Billy struggles with PTSD and the third degree burn scars that still cover much of his body, as well as trying to find meaning in his new life as a PI.
Not only is Shayna bubbly, outgoing, and kind of messy, she's also hot as hell and passionate about her career as a photojournalist. Basically, perfect for the man Billy used to be, but not touchable for the man Billy is now.
As these two dance around their attraction and try to stay simply roommates, they'll find it harder and harder as they also find they may just be perfect for each other, damages and all.
Another winner from the Warrior Fight Club series for Laura Kaye!

This is another great book in this series. I really like the concept of the Warrior Fight Club. I like that the veterans are finding the camaraderie there that they had within the services. Billy on the surface looks like he has things under control. Under that though, he is dealing with a heavy load of survivor guilt. Billy does a favor for his best friend and lets his friend's sister stay with him while she looks for an apartment. Shayna had a big crush on Billy when she was younger. She's in DC for a new job and a new start. She's also dealing with survivor guilt. Their first meeting in years ends on a very funny note. Billy was able to open up to Shayna in ways that he wasn't able to share with others. I like how they found things in each other. I, also, like how they weren't fixed by the end of the book. That they were going to work together on what they needed to fix within themselves.
