REVIEW: Fight to the Finish by Jeanette Murray

 
Fight to the Finish by Jeanette Murray: Kara is a devoted single mom. She’s raised her son on her own and navigated successfully around his many allergies. She’s not a big fan of Marines, but she has come to enjoy teaching yoga to the Marine boxing team. Graham loves being on the Marine boxing team and is looking forward to the All Military games. He’s smart, sexy, and persistent. He’s been attracted to Kara since day one even though tends to avoid any situation where they are alone. Since they often hang out with the same group of people, Kara can’t entirely avoid him.

“I’m sure you’ve got things to do.”
Hint number one to get out. “I’m free.”
“Really, I don’t want to keep you.”
Hint number two. “It was no problem. I’m glad I know about it now.”

Despite Kara’s attraction to Graham, she’s hesitant to get involved with him. She’s still dealing with her ex and wants to enjoy the time she has before her son gets too much older. However, Graham chips away at her resistance by his easy relationship with and clear affection for her son. They have great chemistry and she can only resist him for so long.

As his satisfied look, she narrowed her eyes. “What?”
“You’re wearing my clothes. Stealing my stuff and wearing it around your place.”
“Not stealing. Just…delayed returning.”

Fight to the Finish is a sexy, entertaining, and heartwarming read. Jeanette Murray builds the anticipation and delivers on the much anticipated pairing of Graham and Kara. Ms. Murray pulls you into this world and highlights the importance of family. Fight to the Finish can be read as a standalone, but it may be more enjoyable if the series is read in order. One part of the storyline continues throughout all three books of the series. Fans of Carly Phillips and Sarah Castille will enjoy Fight to the Finish.
