Fighting For You by Layla Hagen
4.0
This was my first introduction to Layla Hagan and I will definitely be reading the other books in the Connor family series. Hagan delivers a satisfying contemporary romance with characters you cannot help but fall in love with. The Connor family is amazing and it was great to see Brooke interacting with Jace’s family, especially because this lets her see a different side to Jace than how he was portrayed by the media.
The storyline was well developed and Hagan thoroughly explored the reasoning behind why Brooke was wary of entering a relationship with Jace. Alternating between Jace’s and Brooke’s first-person perspectives allows the reader to see Jace’s struggle between respecting Brooke’s wishes and his own, strengthening feelings. The reader is also able to sympathize both with Jace’s frustration and Brooke’s desire to maintain personal and professional boundaries. There is very little drama or distractions from Jace and Brooke’s developing relationship apart from a subplot involving a jealous teammate. This subplot is introduced gradually and flows naturally with the main storyline.
