Brutal Fighter by Heather Long
3.0
This book had such good highs and such awful lows. Some parts were so sweet or so exhilarating that it kept me reading for them, but then others would just drag on and on, and a lot of that has to do with Emersyn herself. I have no respect for characters that force everyone around them to walk on eggshells around them. Any mention of Emersyn in this book--even worse than in the first 4 books--was just constant wariness from everyone around her and that got old a few chapters in. They speak proudly of how strong she is but she very rarely shows it (though a few parts were amazing). What a hassle to put up with her honestly. And then she has to repeat the same conversations of worthiness, shame, fears, triggers, trust, etc. with all seven of them separately, and we have to read them each time. It's so repetitive and annoying.
I skimmed so much of this book because of that, but I was also looking for the other parts of story I wish we saw more of. It was awesome seeing the guys deal with the many threats around them, especially the glimpses of how hard and efficiently they hit back when threatened. Liam is definitely the guy you want on your team. It was also great seeing the tentative and slow trust building between Emersyn's guys and Lainey's guys. Can't wait for more of that in the next book. I just hope it drags less than the first five have. I can't handle rehashing things that we've gone over multiple times in the first 5 books.
