RAVEN
Flight or Fight #1
Ashley Suzanne
Re-Releasing Sept 8th, 2015


In the debut of Ashley Suzanne’s blistering-hot Fight or Flight series—perfect for fans of Monica Murphy and J. Lynn—two sparring partners put their hearts on the line and push their bodies to the edge.

Rian Fields is done being a punching bag. When Rian was thirteen, her only friend walked out on her, leaving Rian alone to mourn when she lost her mother three years later. Then he came back into her life senior year, igniting new desires—and breaking her trust permanently when he enlisted in the army. Now Rian has finally found an outlet for her rage against the world: mixed martial arts. But just as she’s learning the ropes, Garrett Rhodes turns her life inside-out one more time.

As much they hurt each other, Garrett never got over Rian. So when he gets the call that she’s in jail, he bails her out, no questions asked. The years have toughened her. Made her harder. Sexier. All she needs to make it as an MMA fighter is the right coach, and Garrett’s man enough to train her. He just has to go toe-to-toe with “Raven,” the fearless woman who takes control in the ring . . . without falling for Rian, the vulnerable girl who still drives him crazy.

I was hooked on this book from the moment I read the synopsis.  There aren’t many books out there about female MMA fighters.  I’m a huge MMA fan, so if I see one about a female fighter, I have to read it.  Now this story didn’t center on MMA fights.  But it showed how much of a fighter Rain is.

She started fighting for her life at seventeen.  Well, that was the first time the fight consumed her.

She is a complete badass.  Garrett had been her friend when they were young.  He protected her and kept the bullies away.  That ends when his dad gets stationed elsewhere and they have to move away. 

Rain’s heart was broken for the first time. 

After Rain loses her mom, she moves in with her aunt and starts a new school.  It’s fate, Garrett is there. 

“And when you’re eighteen, I’m gonna marry you, Rain Noelle, and you’re gonna travel the world with me.  We’ll create our own world.  A place where nothing else matters but us.”

But the Army takes him away again and her aunt dies.  Everyone she loves leaves her. 

It takes four years before they see each other again. 

Garrett is an awesome guy.  I love both him and Rain.

The feelings are all still there, but they have both changed a lot.

I wasn’t expecting what happened after the fight to happen.  It hit me out of the blue and I was blindsided by it. 

I love an ending like that, that I don’t see coming from the beginning of the book.

This is definitely a book you should read!
