Fight for Me

Everhart Brothers, Book 2

By: Claudia Burgoa

Narrated by: Jason Clarke, Stephanie Németh Parker

He’s my brother’s best friend.
I’m his opposite in every way.

Being a pencil pusher isn’t what I had in mind when I joined the FBI.

So when I finally get a chance to prove myself, I won’t let anyone mess it up.

Especially Harrison Everhart, my brother’s best friend and former Army Ranger.

He’s quiet and lethal - but also incredibly loyal. Harrison doesn’t mind bending the law to get things done. He’ll do whatever it takes to do the right thing.

And that may just mess up my big break.
I know he’s willing to fight with me, but if I give him my heart will he fight for me as well?

Fight for Me is an opposites-attract, military romance with action, adventure, and plenty of steam. This angsty listen is both fun and emotional, as Luna and Harrison bring justice to the bad guys and heat up the bedroom. This is the second book in the Everhart Brothers series by USA Today best-selling Author Claudia Burgoa.

Fantastic Story & Narration🎧Gripping & Heartfelt!

I am loving the “Everhart Brothers” series, each book features a different brother and this second book is Harrison’s story. Harrison’s parents were killed on September 11th and the brothers’ lives were forever changed. Scott and Harrison were to look after their two younger brothers, but Harrison wound up enlisting in the army to fight for our country and to get vengeance for their parent’s death. Back home and in civilian life, he is still going after bad guys working for a private agency who takes on different cases and missions, often working with other government agencies. He also works with two others he served with, Hawk and Tiago, and when Tiago asks him for a favor, to look out for his sister, he agrees to, he just did not know what he was in for when he agreed to do that. Luna Santillan, an FBI profiler, who is on a mission to get and take down a known criminal up in New York, she puts her plan in motion, has a place to stay thanks to her brother Lucas who hooked her up with an apartment. But when her other brother, Tiago, catches wind of it, that apartment is not safe enough for her and he and Harrison find her a safer and more secure place. Luna is brilliant, her mind, her personality and her fierceness, I loved how over protective her brothers were, even Harrison, but when their worlds collide, he gets to see in action it was not only jaw dropping he was in awe and he wanted her, for himself and for the team, she would be a great asset for the organization. There is never a dull moment in this well written and the cleverly plotted story has the perfect balance of drama, angst, smart and witty dialogue, heartfelt emotions and a slow burn romance. Claudia Burgoa, thank you for another amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride. 

🎧📚🎧 And for the amazing narration, Jason Clarke and Stephanie Németh Parker were the perfect cast to bring these characters and story to life. They did a fabulous job portraying the characters, and I loved how they took each role, ran with it and made it their own, sounding believable and just as I pictured them to sound. Stephanie Németh Parker nailed it as Luna, grasp every side of her personality, from her fierceness and determination to her caring side, and Jason Clarke did the same in his role as Harrison. Both were great performing the roles of the secondary characters too. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions which were heard in their performance. These versatile voice artists are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fabulous listen. 

Entertaining

These two could not be more opposite and yet they really work together well. It was also fun to see some familiar faces pop up whilst reading.
Having lost his parents in the Twin Towers tragedy, Harrison has avoided relationships. He has a small group of people he trusts which are his brothers and his best friend, Hazel. Developing feelings for his friend's sister was not part of his plans.
This was an emotional story with romance, mystery, suspense, humour and steam which ticked all the boxes for me. I loved how feisty, sassy, smart, independent and determined Luna is. The fact that she is the younger sister of his friend Tiago adds an additional layer of complication to their potential relationship since Harrison was asked to keep an eye on her. For me Harrison was totally swoon worthy and I fell hard and fast for him.
The love and support that Harrison gives to Luna is heartwarming. The chemistry between them is intense and their banter witty. I enjoyed the journey they embarked on together and was cheering for these two to get the happily ever after that they deserved.
Jason Clarke and tephanie Németh Parker's narration was spot on for these characters. Not only did they bring the story andthe characters to life but they did justice to the complex story that Claudia Burgoa wove.

Harrison and Luna!!!

These Everharts! Harrison is definitely my fave and his and Luna’s book is the freaking bomb. Jason Clarke was the perfect Harrison and he performed him amazingly. Stephanie Nemeth Parker is Luna to a T. You could feel their chemistry through the superb narrating and the authors words. So perfect.

Fight For Me

I have really enjoyed getting to read this series!

Harrison is best friends with Luna's brother and they are opposites in many ways. Despite that there is a connection between them that only grows as they spend time together.

I liked that Luna has a job with the FBI and wants to get out in the field. She was smart and strong which I love in a heroine. It also made it fun to watch her and Harrison's back and forth knowing she could hold her own.

Harrison is a great match for Luna. He is a former Army Ranger and a loyal guy with a small group of friends. It was nice seeing him open up to Luna and watching him fall for her.

This was a great story with action, romance, and great characters!

Heart-pounding and Steamy Romance!

What a delightful surprise this book was! I thought I was prepared, with my box of tissues handy, like I usually do before I start one of Ms. Burgoa's books. Harrison and Luna's story was much lighter, but just as thrilling, heartwarming, and passionate. It was everything I want my romance stories to be. Luna is a real conundrum. She is smart, fearless and tough, but then she is also sweet, sunshine and superstitious. She is a sexy puzzle that draws Harrison in right from their first hilarious meeting. Luna's brother, Tiago, has asked Harrison to watch over Luna while she is in New York, making her off limits. It isn't hard since he has kept his distance from relationships after losing his parents in the Twin Towers tragedy. He is only close to his brothers and best friend, Hazel. Their tight knit group is supportive, hilarious, and essential. When Luna easily assimilates into the fold, Harrison is helpless against his growing feelings. Harrison is a huge surprise to Luna as well. He is charming, sweet, and attentive. He supports her decisions, and their chemistry is explosive. I love them together! There are reasons for her visit to New York that develop in surprising ways and along with a few twists and turns, this journey is exhilarating. It is fun catching up with the Everhart family along with the bad@55 men in the security agency where Harrison works. This is such a fun, refreshing story that took me by surprise, when Ms Burgoa usually wrings every emotion out of us, along with several tissues. But it is a wonderful story in it's own rights. The storyline is intriguing with strong characters, little angst, enough mystery and drama to keep me turning the pages and the perfect amount of romance to make me swoon.
I loved this story even more after listening to Jason Clarke, and Stephanie Németh Parker's stellar narration! I always enjoy Clarkes' performances, but this is my favorite one yet. He nailed Harrison's character so perfectly and his inflections were spot on and heartfelt. He took my breath away as he brought out all the fun, sass, and emotion from Burgoa's story. This is my first listen to Stephanie Németh Parker's work and I was completely lost to her performance. Her smooth, sweet voice pulled me in right from the start, but it was her authentic accent and her fierce inflections, when needed, that made me an instant fan! I will definitely look for more of her work.
The Everhart family and friends are amazing and endearing and I can't wait for more about all of them!

Amazing!

Ooh, this was angsty but so much fun to read as we get Harrison and Luna in an opposites-attract totally hot story. It's suspenseful and exciting and even though it's a slow burn, you can't help but read until the end because the chemistry is just amazing. One of the narrators is new to me and I loved what she did with the character and bringing her to life. Both narrators really make the story pop and felt as though I was right there with them.

One star overall, because there is no zero.

DNF… got to chapter 26 and abandoned. Only Jason Clarke was the bright spot in this book. Did not like the female voice.

Nothing likable about the characters, storyline was all over the place and the writing was poor.

Sorry for the review, but it needed to be said.
