WORTH FIGHTING FOR - COMING 3/12/19
Getting in deep has never felt this good...
Commercial diver Tara Hunter nearly lost everything in an accident that saw her medically discharged from the navy. With the help of the Warrior Fight Club, she’s fought hard to overcome her fears and get back in the water where she’s always felt most at home. At work, she’s tough, serious, and doesn’t tolerate distractions. Which is why finding her gorgeous one-night stand on her new dive team is such a problem.
Former navy deep-sea diver Jesse Anderson just can’t seem to stop making mistakes—the latest being the hot-as-hell night he’d spent with his new partner. This job is his second chance, and Jesse knows he shouldn’t mix business with pleasure. But spending every day with Tara’s smart mouth and sexy curves makes her so damn hard to resist.
Joining Tara’s wounded warrior MMA training program seems like the perfect way for Jesse to blow off steam—except now they’re getting in deep and taking each other down day and night. And even though it breaks all the rules, their inescapable attraction might just be the only thing truly worth fighting for.

What I thought about Worth Fighting For
When Tara meets Jesse one night at the bar and ends up spending a super steamy night in bed with him, little does she know that she's just had a sexual encounter with her new partner. Oops! This book is worth reading just for the tension that fills the pages when these two meet the next day and realize how they know each other. I adored this part of the book and the rest of it as well.
After a very tense meeting, Jesse and Tara still have some unresolved sexual feelings for each other and both are fighting it hard because they work together. Laura Kaye does an incredible job of showing how dangerous it really is for Jesse and Tara to work together with how they feel toward each other. It really made me think about the risks of working with a loved one in a dangerous profession.
Both Jesse and Tara have baggage from their military days that they are dealing with as well. Tara is recovering from a devastating almost fatal accident underwater, and Jesse mourns the loss of his teammates under his watch. It's all very emotional and I could feel their pain -- from their past and also the pain they feel for not being able to really be together in the present.
I just loved this story! Tara is really awesome -- I love strong, smart and capable and she's got it. Jesse is perfect too, especially when he recognizes when Tara is struggling and does everything right to take care of her. Worth Fighting For is a perfectly sized novella with great characters, a fabulous story of healing and moving on, and it all worked for me. Loved it!

I really love Laura Kaye's books. I read and enjoyed the first in this series and then I got busy with other books. I'll have to get back to it at some point. Great review.
