If
you have read and enjoyed Whethering the Storm (The Storm, #2) by Samantha
Towle, Seducing Cinderella (Fighting for Love, #1) by Gina L. Maxwell, and Rock
Bottom (Tristan & Danika, #2) by R.K. Lilley then you will LOVE this book!
I
put this song here because I was listening to it and it reminded me of this
book & then I saw the author's playlist and it was on it, so I knew
this song was just meant to be a part of this story
Basic Summary
Fighting to
Forget
Every
Fighter is drawn to the violence, the release that a perfect hit can bring.
But very few
are drawn to the pain.
Rex Carter
lives behind a wall of indifference. The
demons from his childhood act as an anesthetic, keeping him distant from
emotional connections. Only the ache
from a knock to the jaw, the sting of a tattoo needle, or the heat from a
piercing can jolt him back from the numbness.
The fiery pain is all he can feel, and nothing compares to the burn.
Or so he
thought.
Working in a
Las Vegas bar isn’t Georgia McIntyre’s dream.
But she hopes it’ll be an end to the nightmare. She’s
watched him, followed him and kept tabs, all in preparation for this moment: to
make amends and share the secret she’s been carrying since she was a kid. But she didn’t count on the feelings that seeing
him again would stir up, the vacant look in his stormy-blue eyes, and his
perfect body now mutilated by ink and metal.
And she
knows why. She’s lived his pain every
single day, since the day he left.
Changed by
time, Rex doesn’t remember the girl from his past. If only she could do the same.
Will she get
the absolution she’s spent her life seeking?
Or will he
continue Fighting to Forget?
First
Impressions
Wow well I don’t even know where to
begin. The prologue takes place in
Nothing, Arizona, 1999 when Rex and Mac were young children and almost
immediately I had tears in my eyes and my heart was pounding out of my
chest. I’m addicted to books that not
only suck you in immediately but also make you feel like you’ve been punched in
the stomach with your heart in millions of little pieces. Fighting to Forget delivered that and then
some! You instantly fall in love Rex and
Mac, and I wanted to comfort them and heal them immediately. Such an amazing and bittersweet story so far
and I cannot wait to find out more.
What I Loved
The plot of this story sucks you in
from the very beginning and just doesn't let go until the very last word. There are so words to describe how much I absolutely
love Rex and my heart just breaks for him every time he had to deal with one of
his compulsions or thinks of himself as a freak because he can’t remember why he
is this way.
On the other side of things my
heart went out to Mac/Gia for not only going through a crappy childhood,
witnessing what was done to Rex as a child, but has to hold all this inside of
her because no one believed her as a child and is scared to open up as an
adult.
I can’t get
enough of books that not only make you cry but rip your heart out and stomp on
it, and that happened so many times while reading this book. There are just tons of emotions that flow
through you while reading and I couldn't put the book down. I needed to get to their happily ever after
because their story at times was just haunting.
Not So Much
Okay so this is a first for me but I
don’t really have any negative things to say about this book. I will warn you that there are times when it’s
hard to read and if you aren’t in the mood for an emotional dark story dealing
with VERY jaded characters then this is not the story for you.
This Book Was…
Unbelievably beautiful!
This story is just filled with darkness and horrors that you wouldn’t
wish for on your worst enemy. I immediately
fell in love Rex and wanted to be his biggest cheerleader because he just
deserves so much happiness and love and it broke my heart all that crap he had
to deal with his entire life. The climax
of this story just broke my heart and had my heart racing with my jaw on the
floor. I could not put this book down, I
couldn’t get enough of Mac/Gia and I just wanted Rex to be her hero so
badly. I was an on an emotional
rollercoaster the entire I was reading and when I finished I just wanted more
Rex and Gia. Such an amazing story and
plot line, I love this series so much.
I love that we not only experienced Rex and Gia’s story but got to see
Raven and Jonah’s story continue as well as Layla and Blake’s. I want more J.B. Salsbury and I want it now!
