Fighting Fate (Flawlessly Broken Trilogy #3) by Barbara Speak
What Marissa Johnson never expected when she came to Illinois to tour her brother's Alma mater was meet the man who would haunt her dreams.
Once introduced, she knew she would do anything to stay close to him and hope for a chance.
Mike Harrison never expected to fall for his old college friends little sister. Defending his heavy weight title and having any woman he wanted wasn't enough to keep him away any longer.
Two years came and went while neither of them acted on their wants or desires. All of that changes when someone's grief brings the two together into a situation they can't ignore any longer.
But what happens when insecurity, jealousy, and lack of faith come into play? Can these two overcome the obstacles thrown in their path or will it all come crashing down around them?
Manda's 3 Star Review
Marissa Johnson has been crushing on her brother's friend from college since the first day she met him. He is gorgeous and she can't help but be a little awkward around him. The times she has been around him he doesn’t even know she exists. That all changes when Marissa finally realizes he is just a guy and there are bigger concerns in her life.
After a confrontation with the girl he can't seem to get out of his head, Mike Harrison decides its time to step up and show Marissa who he really is. Mike has always noticed Marissa but there were to many reasons to leave her alone not to mention she was his friends sister, but their time has come and Mike will stop at nothing to get her. With his big fight coming up he wants nothing more than his girl by his side. Jealousy and insecurities are the only thing that can bring them down and unfortunately when the unthinkable happens everything that have built will all come crashing down.
I had a little bit of trouble getting into this story in the beginning. It all moves very fast and I had a hard time getting into the relationship dynamic between the 2 main characters. There are a lot of strong feelings and a lot of back and forth between the two about how things are going to go between them. I never felt like I connected with their relationship before it was tested. It wasn't until later in the book that I started to feel for the characters and really wanted to know how things were going to work out. The supporting characters were great and I really loved that they were all a big family and wanted each other to be happy. I love when characters from previous stories continue to play a big part in the book that follow and we definitely get that with this series. Though I had trouble in the beginning by the end I was into the story and am really looking forward to what comes next.
