Full Contact
Worth the Fight # 2
By: Sidney Halston
Releasing October 28th, 2014

Sidney Halston returns to steamy Tarpon Springs, Florida, where a hell-raising bad boy prepares to get down and dirty for the woman he loves.

How could she have been so stupid? When Jessica Cross decides to give her violently jealous boyfriend—the otherwise influential and charming Dennis Stavros—a second chance, she very nearly becomes a statistic. After weeks of healing from a broken rib and collapsed lung, and with Dennis behind bars, Jessica finally feels ready to come out of hiding. But will she ever be able to take a chance on love again with someone new?

Mixed martial arts fighter Slade Martin knows he has a bad reputation. Hell, he's probably earned it. So it won’t be easy to convince beautiful, vulnerable Jessica that she can trust him—that from the moment she walked into his life, she’s been the only one he’s wanted. Powerful and confident, Slade knows he can honor his vow to protect Jessica body and soul. Winning her heart will be another matter . . . but a woman like Jessica is worth the fight.

 
I absolutely loved, loved this book.  Slade and Jessica's relationship felt so authentic, more realistic - moving in real time instead of lightning speed, which some romances seem to be.  Their kidding and playful joking around, either when they were in bed or just hanging out together - just sealed the deal for me as to how perfect their personalities were for each other.

Slade was perfection.  He may have once been a true playboy - when he first helped Jessica those playboy days were over - he was all in for her.


It did take a little more convincing and learning to trust on Jessica's part.  She is fresh from an abusive relationship, and even though she's definitely attracted to Slade, she is scared.  So what does Slade do to help convince her he's serious - he takes things slow, he shows her how he can be a gentlemen, he's serious about her.  I had to laugh, because while this was what she thought she wanted - it wasn't what she needed - but she was quick to tell him exactly what she needed.
Oh man - I was yelling "Amen, sister - that's what I want!!!"

Unfortunately Jessica's past still comes back to haunt her, and to protect the people she cares about, she makes decisions that cause a lot of pain - even to herself.  Luckily Slade is not one to totally give up, and she finds that she does have a friend or two that she can turn to for help.



I really couldn't get enough of these two - and I'm still chuckling at some of the funny things that Slade and Jessica said to each other. I enjoyed Against the Cage, but I have to say I totally adored Worth the Fight.  Definitely worth your time reading.









I adored Jack and Chrissy in the first installment of Sidney Halston’s WtF series. I was in stitches of laughter over the crazy dog Drogo and I was also head over heels in book boyfriend love over Jack Daniels. But the one person who really peaked my interest was Slade. He was the quintessential bad boy that had girls following him around nipping at his heels wanting just a moment of his sexy time. But this one sweet girl had him in a fit..because she said no to going on a date with him. Little did this girl Jessica nor Slade know that her failure to fall at his feet would change their lives forever. 


I was enamored with how this couple became friends first. Even though Slade didn’t hide what he wanted.. it was refreshing and sweet to see them grow closer and they were really funny together too. Of course the road to their HEA had to have some bumps and I was really wanting to shake Jessica a time or two because of how she handled things. Both of them really did some things that didn’t sit well with  me but in the end all things worked out how they should. This was a sexy and sweet and funny as hell at times story and I’m glad I hung on for the ride. Sidney has set in place several more romantic connections with this crazy cast of characters and right now I am wanting Cain’s story so freaking bad!!


So counting the days has begun.

Sidney Halston lives her life by one simple rule: “The secret of getting ahead is getting started” (Mark Twain). Or even simpler: “Just do it” (Nike). And that’s exactly what she did. At the age of thirty, having never written anything other than a legal brief, she picked up a pen for the first time to pursue her dream of becoming an author. That first stroke sealed the deal, and she fell in love with writing. Halston lives in South Florida with her husband and children.
