FIGHTING DIRTY
Worth the Fight #5
Sidney Halston
Releasing Jan 5th, 2016
Loveswept
If
you love the MMA romances of Vi Kreeland and Kendall Ryan, Sidney Halston’s
Worth the Fight series will knock your socks off! In Fighting Dirty, a
geek-chic cage fighter proves that appearances can be deceiving . . . and
oh-so-tempting.
With
his preppy clothes and horn-rimmed glasses, Enzo Silva is the last dude anyone
expects to find in a mixed martial arts gym. A wealthy Brazilian banker who
never had to fight for anything, Enzo’s stuck in the amateur circuit—but he
burns to make the pros. Maybe that explains the heat he feels whenever he’s
around Jamie Lynn Calhoun. The pint-size, magenta-haired bartender with the
Texas drawl is everything he’s not . . . and everything he craves.
Tough
as nails and independent to a fault, Jamie Lynn—JL to her friends—works hard to
pay her bills and keep life simple. Enzo is doing his best to complicate that.
Even though she likes to bust his balls, he’s got some kind of a nerdy-hot vibe
that makes JL wonder if she might finally be able to let her guard down. It
might do the boy some good to spend some time in her world, where blood, sweat,
and victory are as sweet as the first taste of real love.

Review- 4 Stars
This was my first Sidney Halston book and I’m excited to read
more. Fighting Dirty is mostly a standalone, but the glimpse I got of the other
characters in the series made me want to go back and read their stories.
Enzo and JL are complete opposites as characters and that
made the transition in a couple fun to watch. I felt like Enzo changed more
than JL, but that isn’t a bad thing. Poor Enzo needed to lighten up, but JL was
too harsh in making such assumptions about him in the beginning. It made me a
little mad. Luckily, she opened her eyes fairly quickly.
Enzo has a side of hopeless romantic peeking around the
super sexy alpha. For such a staid, logical guy, he falls for her so fast and it’s
sweet to see. He has a driving need to care for her and most of all, to make
her happy. His love for MMA and fighting brings another great element into his
personality. The author humbles him pretty quickly and it made me love him even
more.
JL has had a rough life and it’s made her hard and jaded.
She’s actually quite a contradiction, she puts on this persona of tough, “I don’t
give a crap what you think,” but in reality, she’s broken and hiding her inner
mushy self. It was nice to see Enzo bringing that shell down. Her immediate
anger and unwillingness to talk to Enzo when things aren’t perfect irritated
me, but Enzo has the tools to break her down.
The story is interesting, the main characters both have
awful backgrounds but yet, they are so different. They’ve shaped the characters
and the plot. I wasn’t racing through this book, desperate to get to the end.
However, I was drawn to it and really enjoyed it. I would absolutely recommend
it!

Sidney Halston lives her life
by one simple rule: “Just do it.” 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.
Thank you!!
