***WORTH THE FIGHT***
By: Vi Keeland
Release Date: October 3, 2013
BLURB:
It didn’t matter that the ref called it a clean hit. Nico Hunter would never be the same.
Elle has a good life. A job she loves, a great apartment, and the guy she’s been dating for more than two years is a catch and a half. But it’s boring…and she strives to keep it that way. Too many emotions are dangerous. Her own past is living proof of what can happen when you lose control.
Then Nico walks into Elle’s office and everything changes…for both of them. But what can the tattooed, hard-bodied MMA fighter and the beautiful and always steady attorney have in common? A lot more than they bargained for.

EXCERPT:
**Meet Elle & Nico**
Elle on Nico...
I’ve never seen a body like his so close before. It just doesn’t seem real. Both of his arms are covered in tattoos, it looks like he’s wearing colorful sleeves, only he has no shirt on. They intertwine and wrap around his bulging biceps and I get the urge to trace a path from the first splat of ink to the last with my tongue. My body’s reaction to him is unlike anything I’ve ever felt before. These aren’t feelings that I’m used to, they seem to come out of nowhere and are uncontrollable.
One side of his lip curls up slightly, as though he is amused at my staring. He hands me a glass of wine without asking if I want one and I take it because I need it to calm my nerves. I’m here staring at this bigger than life man, and suddenly I’m speechless. The wine can’t seep into my bloodstream quick enough. Half the glass is gone in one long, unladylike gulp.
“Thirsty?” I look up at him and find a glimmer of amusement in Nico’s eyes, mixed with something else. I think he knows I’m trying to calm myself and I fidget in my seat on the couch as he stands there looking so unaffected.
Nico on Elle...
I’m up at five a.m. every morning. Well, every morning except today. I slept like shit, my body a mass of pent-up frustration. I kept my word all night. Even though all I wanted to do was pick her up, carry her into my bedroom, and ram myself into her to claim her as mine. Then she kissed me. I know I could have taken it further after that kiss. But I don’t want one night with Elle. I want more. I have no idea why, but I do. A lot fucking more.
By the time I drove back home last night, I’d gotten myself under control. I’d reasoned with my hard-on until it finally saw my way. Who knew you could reason with a fucking hard-on. I guess I never tried. I just took care of it, did what it wanted me to.
But then I walked into my loft and I smelled her. And all reasoning went out the window. I couldn’t sleep with a steel pipe in my pants, so I took a cold shower. It didn’t help. Then I was wide awake with a hard-on. I tossed and turned with a picture of Elle smiling at me in my head. Taunting me for being such a sap.
Ohhh Emmm Geee!!!!!
I am not even sure where to start.
Nico- Ahhh Nico, he was explosive, in more ways than one. He was a mind-blowing, sexy, well carved, tattooed, dangerous, wicked (in a good way, lol), caring, generous, sincere, honest, hawttt beast of a man, that any woman would want to have babies for. HAHA
He had a past that might have kept him from living for a lil while--until Elle came along.

Elle- She was truly a great girl, who knew what she wanted and didn't waste anytime on getting it. That's what I like about her. She was perfect, as in beauty, size, shape, occupation, and as smart as she was, who couldn't fall in love with her the minute they laid eyes on her.
With her haunting past, it took a powerful, stunning, patient, mega-man to understand her, and help her over come the shadows that has been tormenting her.
Together- Nico & Elle were Powerful Perfection.
William- I didn't really feel sorry for. He was handsome, had a great career, and he shouldn't have any problems finding his one and only. What William and Elle did was just a familiar habit, with benefits, that needed to end, and easy to end since there were no emotions involved.
I am so glad that Elle found her heart-stopping, va-jay jay throbbing, breath catching, significant other.
They are just incredible together.
I loved everything about this book, the authors ability to imagine these things, the great writing, the characters-mostly, the story line, and NO cliff hanger, and I love how the end doesn't leave you wondering what the hell just happen.
Worth The Fight is defiantly at the top of my list for 2013.
I will continue to follow Vi, because all of her books that I have read so far, were brilliant, spicy, and just a guarantee great read.
So to you VI KEELAND, Thanks again, for doing what you were defiantly born to do; keeping smiles on our faces, and love in our hearts, through the power of writing.
