A larger-than-life firefighter inspires a career-driven woman to live in the moment—and trust in the power of love—in this flirty, emotional novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Searching for Harmony.  Finn Ward has two passions: being a firefighter and being single. Although his parents are constantly nagging him to settle down, Finn just wants to enjoy himself while he’s young. Then, at a union meeting, he meets a gorgeous lawyer with a dazzling smile—and suddenly, settling down doesn’t sound so bad.   Rory Adams is fresh out of law school and looking to make a name for herself at her mother’s firm. She doesn’t have time for silly games anymore. But when she catches the eye of a dashing fireman who makes her body tingle from across the room, something instantly ignites between them. The only problem? Her father is Finn’s boss.   Their relationship turns both of their lives upside-down. Rory tames Finn’s wild ways, while he shows her that life can’t be all work and no play. But it’ll take some serious determination to keep their love secret—and real courage to admit the truth.  Praise for Kelly Elliott’s Searching for Harmony
 
Searching for Harmony is a heartwarming story of a woman who suffers an unthinkable tragedy—and finds an unimaginable love. It’s a real charmer!”USA Today bestselling author Tina Wainscott  Includes an excerpt from another Loveswept title.

One of the best stories I have read in a while it had me laughing out loud and tears in my eyes! When Rory is assigned to help the firefighters union to clear a sexual harassment case she sees a guy fall asleep during her fathers meeting. Her dad is the Captain of the Fire station and Rory works for her mothers law firm so when she catches Finn sleeping she feels like she is struck by lightening.

When Finn is nudged awake he is captivated by Rory and when he finally catches up to her she won’t go out with him but when he is saddled with the stations dog Rory ends up helping him train him. As they began to have a relationship Rory and Finn realize they can’t tell anyone because her father told her not to date firefighters especially Finn or his friend Colton.

As more and more people find out that the player Finn is dating the Captains daughter it gets harder to avoid telling her father but they are falling more and more in love. I loved how caring they both were even if it broke their own hearts I really enjoyed all the characters and how normal they were. Looking to read more in this series. – Reviewed by Linda

Fighting for Love is a fantastic, pull your heart strings romantic comedy. It’s book 2 in the series, but each book can be read as a standalone. I loved Searching for Harmony (book 1) and was not disappointed.
Kelly Elliott is a fantastic writer and storyteller. She will get you emotionally sucked in right away.

Finn and Rory are very strong characters. Their chemistry makes for some got scenes. Flash is hilarious. I love that damn dog!

The story is told in both Finn and Rory’s POV. I can’t wait to see who’s story will be next. – Reviewed by Christina

Fighting for Love Excerpt © Nicole Flockton 2016/2017

Brooke picked up her handbag, checking for her wallet and apartment keys. Satisfied she had everything she needed, she headed toward her front door. The plan for the evening was to catch a cab and go to the nearest Chinese restaurant. Something light for her first night, then come back and crash. Her shower had revived her after her thwarted swim. Shock at seeing Dane still rushed through her. If she was one of those people who believed in fate and destiny, she would almost think all of this was meant to be.
Hooking up with Dane at the Olympics.
Lulu retiring.
The incredible offer from Susie to give her a trial run.
Dane living in the same apartment complex.
Were they coincidences or happy accidents? She had no idea. Whether she chose to grasp them was up to her. Or she could completely forget about Dane and the feelings that reignited the moment he touched her.
Man, why was she wasting her time on speculating about fate? She firmly believed she was creating her own. And that was exactly what this trip was all about—a brand new future.
With that resolve strumming through her veins, she pulled open her door and a pair of knuckles stopped millimeters from her nose.
Instinct had her stumbling backwards. “What the heck?”
“Shit, did I hit you, Brooke? I thought I’d stopped. Please tell me you’re okay.”
Dane’s words penetrated the surprise of her almost assault. “Dane? What are you doing here?”
“Dinner?” he responded sheepishly, holding up a square cardboard box.
The aroma of melted cheese and pepperoni wafted toward her. Her stomach grumbled in appreciation. Her mind, however, was yelling at her to thank him for the gesture, but politely decline, saying she had other plans.
“I asked for a gluten-free base. I know you prefer to eat gluten free foods.”
God, how could she say no to him after that? She supposed eating with Dane was a better alternative than eating alone in a restaurant.
Brooke took a couple of steps back. “Come in.”
“Are you sure? You looked like you were on your way out.”
“I was, but only to get food.”
Still, he hesitated from taking that step over the threshold into her apartment. “Come in, Dane. It’s fine. I didn’t really want to eat by myself.”
His lips stretched into the same wide grin that had sucked her into his orbit the night they’d met in Rio. Her traitorous body warmed. Desire pooled low between her thighs. Inviting him in now appeared to be a bad idea. She had to resist him. Had to remember she was only here for a short while. Did she want to pick up where they’d left off?
Brooke wasn’t sure she could handle walking away from him again. It would be safer for her and for Dane if she controlled her baser nature and put him firmly in the friend category.
Any other category wasn’t an option—no matter how tempting.
