Blurb:
You’ve always been mine to love and to hate…
Small towns have a way of making you face your past.
And there’s two sides to every story.
Hawk and Brittney met as kids in a time when they both needed someone.
Their worlds were already in a state of unrest when an unexpected betrayal stripped them bare.
Words of hate were uttered and promises broken, leaving them bitter enemies.
One is left fighting for the truth, while the other is left with nothing but a dream.
But time and distance can’t separate them forever and fate seemingly intervenes.
Lines blur as they realize things may not have been what they seemed, and old feelings are resurrected.
But amid salvaging their connection comes another fight.
Hawk’s murky past catches up to him and Brittney is thrust in the middle, leaving him no choice but to fight once more to save the girl he realizes he’s always loved.
Even if it means destroying her dreams and wrecking her heart.
Fighting for her is the only thing that matters, and this is one battle he won’t lose.
Winner takes heart.
Fighting For The Truth is a second chance romance that takes place in a small town. Hawk and Brittney were high school sweethearts, which would be putting it mildly but that’s how first loves feel. But a series of misunderstandings orchestrated by others yanked them apart, leaving hurt and distrust running deep through them both.
Fast forward a few years and they’re both back home, and boy oh boy the resentment is still there and it runs deep. That one young love left them both with trust issues so when Brittney finds herself in trouble, Hawk is the last person she’s going to listen to, even if it hurts her.
The story takes a while to get started but when it does, it starts to move both in terms of the romance and the suspense. I didn’t fully connect with either character throughout the story but I appreciated the journey as well as the resolution.
