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?Buy on Amazon | B&N
Sunny's Review:
I love love love this series. I am not sure how or why I stumbled across Fighting to Forget but I fell in love with Jonah and JB's writing. I did not think that any of the fighters could be anywhere close to Jonah but Rex might be right there. I love him. I didn't really feel like I knew much about him from the previous books so I was not sure what the story was going to be. I started this book at 4 in the morning after being out all night (playing Bingo nothing majorly fun) and was done before noon (I did doze a little in there). I was in such a book hangover I tried to read 3 or 4 different books and couldn't because I could not get this book out of my head. It has been like this with all of JB's books.
Rex is awesome. When you think about all the stuff that he is dealing with and the fact that he is a functioning person is amazing to me. Yes, he has his issues and it might make it a little bit hard for him to function in some areas but over all he is a wonder. Mac is another character that I feel should maybe go to the top of really good female characters. I don't want to give anything away because this story is awesome. You have to read it.
I am giving this book 4.8 stars out of 5. If you have not read The Fighting Series yet you are missing out. I think you will love it.
