BOOK REVIEW: Fighting for Flight (Fighting #1) by Jamie Salsbury

Fighting for Flight (Fighting #1) by Jamie Salsbury 
Genres: Contemporary Romance, Adult, Erotic
My Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥
What happens when in order to win, you’re forced to lose?

The only daughter of an infamous Las Vegas pimp, Raven Morretti grew up an outsider. Liberated from the neglectful home of her prostitute mother, she finds solace as a mechanic. With few friends, she’s content with the simple life. Flying under the radar is all she knows, and more than she expects.

Until she catches the eye of local celebrity, UFL playboy Jonah Slade.

Weeks away from his title fight, Jonah is determined to stay focused on everything he’s trained so hard to achieve. Undefeated in the octagon, he’s at the height of his career. But resisting Raven’s effortless allure and uncomplicated nature is a fight he can’t win.

Jonah trades in his bad-boy reputation and puts his heart on the line. But when her father contacts her, setting in motion the ugly truth of her destiny, Jonah must choose. In a high-stakes gamble where love and freedom hang in the balance, a war is waged where the price of losing is a fate worse than death.

Will the hotheaded Jonah be able to restrain his inner fighter to save the woman he loves?

Or will Raven be forced into a life she’s been desperate to avoid?

My Thoughts

"You're my saving grace, Jonah. My angel."

The story is about Jonah and Raven.

Raven is the daughter of Vegas’ most notorious pimp. She's independent, naive, gorgeous but insecure about herself. She's an ok heroine... nothing really special about her.. (ya' know the typical shy/virgin!)
Now Jonah... hmm yummy! Hehehe! He's a MMA champion fighter and a playboy but the minute he saw Raven- he was a goner. It was an insta-love relationship for the both of them. He's alpha possessive and very protective to Raven. This is a dual POV and I actually enjoyed Jonah's view better. He was just so expressive with his feelings to Raven. I love him!!! ^_^


“You feel that? Every beat pounding away? You do that to me.”
“I feel the same im glad i waited for you, Jonah. You deserve to be my first-”
“And your last.

The storyline is quite unique but also predictable.. still I highly recommend this book. Once you start reading this- you wouldn't be able to put it down. It has a perfect balance between sport, suspense, romance and the sex scenes was hot!

“Thank you, Jonah. Thank you for finding me.
And thank you for saving me.” 

This is definitely more than a 5 star book!
Now I can't wait for the next book which will be Blake's story!
