About FIGHTING FOR WHAT’S HIS (Warrior Fight Club #2, 9/7/18):
This fight club has one rule: you must be a veteran…
Resisting her only makes him want her more...
Private investigator Billy Parrish is good at three things—fighting, investigating, and sex. MMA training with the other vets in the Warrior Fight Club keeps his war-borne demons at bay—mostly, and one night stands ensure no one gets too close. But then his best friend from the Army Rangers calls in a favor.
Shayna Curtis is new to town, fresh out of grad school, and full of hope for the future. With a new job starting in a month, she’s grateful when her brother arranges a place for her to stay while she apartment hunts. But she never expected her roommate to be so brooding. Or so sexy.
Billy can’t wait for Shay to leave—because the longer she’s there, the more he wants her in his bed. To stay. He can’t have her—that much he knows. But when fight club stops taking off the edge, Billy lets down his guard…and starts fighting for what’s his.

Excerpt
Shayna
sat nearly plastered against Billy’s side, because the restaurant had squeezed
the seven of them into a booth that would’ve been more comfortable for four or
five. Only the fact that Mo sat in a chair at the end of the booth made it
work, but it was still a tight fit.
Shayna
was not complaining.
Because
Billy smelled like soap and a clean-scented aftershave and something that was
all him—combined, they made up a mouthwatering scent that she wouldn’t have
minded drowning in. The whole night she’d been over-aware of the press of their
thighs and the way they kept bumping arms until they’d finally broken down in
laughter over how difficult it was to cut their steaks without elbowing each
other in the face.
Billy
turned to Shayna. “Are you having a good time?”
“Yes.
Thanks for letting me tag along,” she said.
He
shook his head. “You’re not tagging along. I wanted you here. And everyone
wanted to meet you.”
“It’s
true,” Sean said. “Because it’s not everyday someone gets a jump on a Ranger.”
Billy
threw the guy an unamused look, and Shayna laughed. “I wouldn’t go that far,”
she said.
“Thank
you,” Billy said.
“Wait.”
Dani held out her hands and surveyed the lot of them. “I need this story from
the beginning.”
Which
kicked off twenty minutes of her and Billy fighting to tell their versions of
the story—sans all mention of her getting naked at the end of it, thank
God—while everyone laughed and taunted Billy and high-fived Shayna.
Dani
and Tara were totally on her side all the way, and that had Billy refusing to
share the piece of cheesecake that he’d agreed to split with Shayna when they
ordered it.
She
tried to maneuver her fork around his arm, but he blocked her, making her laugh
even as she pleaded for a bite. “Come on. It’s not my fault that all your
friends think it’s funny that I broke into your house.”
He
smirked at her. “That isn’t earning you any cheesecake.”
“It’s
my cheesecake, too,” she said, trying again.
He
easily blocked her next attack. “Possession is nine-tenths of the law.”
“Quit
being a dickweasal,” she said, laughing as she tried again.
He
grinned and held the dessert plate further away. “Dickweasal, am I?”
“Oh,
do you prefer jizzmuffin?”
Mo’s
eyebrows went way up. “Listen to the genius coming out of this girl’s mouth.”
Everyone laughed. “Is this also courtesy of your brother?”
“Brothers,”
Shayna said, not failing to claim Dylan, too. For once. “And yes. I had to be
able to insult them back, didn’t I?”
Grinning,
Mo grabbed the plate from Billy’s hand when he wasn’t looking.
“Hey!”
Billy said, a comically outraged expression on his sexy face.
“Creativity
like that takes fuel, brother, that’s all I’m saying.” He handed the plate
around Billy to Shayna.
About
two-thirds of the cake was left, and Shayna promptly licked the whole top of
it. “I licked it. It’s mine now. Take that, assclown.”
The
whole table howled in laughter. Mo was actually crying.
And
she thought Billy’s expression had been comical before. His jaw dropped. “I
can’t believe you just did that.”
She
slid a big forkful of the sweet, creamy deliciousness into her mouth. “Oh,
believe it,” she said around the bite.
As
he watched her, his gaze shifted. From outraged to playful to challenging. And
she didn’t think she was imagining more than a little heat in those dark eyes,
either. “You think I’m put off by a pretty woman’s tongue, Shayna Curtis?”
What I thought about Fighting for What's His
In a twist on the best friend's sister, the second book in the Warrior Fight Club series is a romantic telling of the attraction between Billy and Shayna. When Billy's best friend Ryan asks him to take in his younger sister, Billy agrees, and what begins as roommates turns to friendship and then to more. There's a boatload of chemistry between these characters and its inevitable that once they find out just how much they do have in common, their relationship would go beyond the friend zone.
No one writes hurting veterans like Laura Kaye. I know that I'm going to an emotional story that will help me understand just what our wounded veterans deal with when they return home. Fighting for What's His doesn't disappoint and it's always sexy, romantic and very emotional ride.
Fighting for What's His is another winner in this series. Can't wait for more.

“The always amazing Kaye is kicking off a terrific new contemporary romance series that centers around a wounded warrior’s fight club. Kaye does a beautiful job exploring the fallout from war and PTSD as various characters struggle to cope in their own ways. The love story between Noah Cortez and his childhood friend Kristina Moore is both compelling and touching, for the obstacles in their way loom large. A truly memorable read!” ~ RT Book Reviews
