Luke Colson never had good luck, but he always had his charm, until his charm turned against him, forcing him to pack up and leave the only home he ever had and the only girl he ever loved. Fifteen years later Luke returns to Peak Valley determined to win back the woman he’s never stopped loving, if only she’d give him the time of day. ♦ ♦ ♦I'm a sucker for a good second-chance romance. Throw some danger into the mix and I knew Fight Forever was going to be my very first read from Amanda Lee Dixon. The opening alone put me back in the mindset of first, young, innocent love... Flash forward a decade and that is where things pick up. And they aren't quite as happy or hopeful. For both Amber and Luke. I liked Amber's tenacity. How she wasn't going to let the curve balls life kept throwing her way get in the way of her children's happiness. Even if it meant swallowing her pride and taking Luke up on his offer to help out. The dynamic changed between Luke and Amber pretty fast, even if she was reluctant for it. But it was Luke's relentlessness and the way he cared for her kids that did her in. She couldn't resist what her heart was telling her. And with threats looming and the danger mounting, it was all they could do to try and stay one step ahead. I'll admit, I found my heart pounding more than once while reading (which I love). But I wanted more of a surprise of who was behind all the mayhem. Amanda Lee Dixon made it pretty clear early on who was pulling the strings. That being said, I did not see this getting as twisted as it did. From start to finish Amber and Luke's intense and emotional second-chance romance had me rooting for them. And I was more than satisfied with how things panned out.

Luke doesn’t walk to the driver’s side of the truck, but instead, he follows me to the passenger side. He steps in close, pinning me against the truck. His chest is in my direct line of vision and I have to tilt my head up to see him. There is something in his eyes that sends tingles to places I don’t want tingles. “So, we are a ‘this’?” “That’s not what I meant.” My voice sounds breathy and my heart picks up. The winter air does nothing to stop the heat creeping up my neck. “Amber?” The way he says my name causes my lungs to freeze. “Y-yes,” I choke out as he dips his head toward mine and my eyes flutter shut. “Can I get the door for you?” he whispers over my lips and my eyes pop open. Luke steps back a little but not by much, and I can see the laughter in his smile. Reaching for the door handle, he beeps the locks and I shove him hard. “I hate you.” “I think we just established that you don’t.” ♦ ♦ ♦
