I
thought I knew what broken was, after all I was the definition of it.
I
thought I mastered the art of recovering from a broken heart; a
broken soul.
I
thought I would find a new type of strength in the moments of my
insane weakness.
But
when Reed Collins became the only thing that mattered to me, when he
became my beginning, middle and the enviable end, I would never be
able to find any strength, because I gave him all of mine.
I
was too willing because I loved him. Without reason, without
thinking, without fear of consequences, because that’s what loving
someone madly really means.
Minutes,
days, months went by after I left but no amount of time eased the
pain of him not being there. No amount of time could ever lessen my
love, my need, my want for him.
Now
I’m back, having to face every truth I ran away from. Lies were
told. But even after all the indescribable pain he caused, I still
love him. Still want him. Still breathe for him.
I’m
starting to wonder if that will ever change.

I made the mistake of thinking this was the first book to read in the series. It didn't take long for me to figure out there was a lot of back story missing. The obvious lesson is that this series must be read in order.
The focus of this installment is that Hadley and Reed are both trying to pick up the pieces of their respective lives. The writing style truly gives a clear indication of how much emotional anguish is on Hadley's plate.
As loose ends from the first installment are wrapped up, the writer drops a massive story twist that throws Hadley off course.
Whether fate will intervene and somehow give those two another chance would be a perfect teaser for this installment. When you love someone madly, it's completely different from ordinary love.
Packed with highs and lows and plenty in-between, this duo earned a spot on my keeper shelf.

Book 1 in the Fighting Madly Series
Reed
"Riker" Collins is my story... The beginning, middle, and
end.
Our
love was intense, emotional, and raw, the kind that sticks with you
forever. I thought we had it all, the thing that would make us
last... Until we didn’t.
Reed
promised me forever, and I believed him with everything in me. But
it's never that easy. Without a second thought, Reed left me to
follow his own dream of becoming a professional fighter. Five years
of going through life without him has left me only drifting through
life, never truly living, leaving me more damaged than ever before.
But then, Reed walks back into my life when I needed him the most.
Will I be able to forget all the pain he caused? Will he be able to
heal the emotional wounds his love had left me with?
Can
I fight to start? Or will I end up forfeiting it all just to make it
go away?

Although author SL Ziegler probably had a specific plan in mind when choosing the title Fighting to Start, as a reader, I found myself fighting to stop.
It's rare to find a book (much less a series) that has such a fresh perspective that it fully engaged your attention. This is one of those rare finds that you simply can't put down.
On the surface, it's a story about Hadley and Reed. She's a nursing student and he's a fighter. It's a romance that goes well beyond typical, delving into almost an addiction.
Both the angst and the sexual intensity meters are fully charged in this story. As readers settle in to see Hadley deal with grief, the gut-wrenching feels are enough to send you diving for a box of tissues.
The ending contains a perfectly crafted cliffhanger. Add several unexpected plot twists courtesy of other characters and this is one book that will keep you in place until the last page is turned...and then you can read the second part.

SL
is a self-described book junkie. She spent her whole life with her
head in the clouds, dreaming of characters and imagining how their
stories will play out. It wasn't till later when those stories in her
head became too much to handle and made it onto paper. When SL isn't
reading or writing, she is spending her time with her two crazy kids
and husband. Where they reside in a home just outside of Atlanta. SL
is true buckeye fan and lives for the weekends where she can drink a
glass of wine and devour the books waiting on her Kindle.
