Against the Ropes (First to Fight Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Jeanette Murray (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
The author of Below the Belt continues her First to Fight series with a novel of one Marine’s battle to come out on top—in life and love…

As a troubled teen, Gregory Higgs channeled his energy into boxing instead of breaking the law. The ring gave him purpose and something to strive for. So did the Marines. Combining the two seemed like a natural fit.

Another natural fit? Reagan Robilard, the sweet athlete liaison who keeps all the fighters out of trouble and manages their PR—a job that gets more challenging when someone digs up the truth about Greg’s not-so-shiny past after equipment is vandalized at the gym.

Even if it wasn’t her job, Reagan can’t let Greg take the fall. Because passion doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to matters of the heart…

Jeanette spends her days surrounded by hunky alpha male heroes...at least in her mind. In real life, she's a one-hero kind of woman, lucky to snare her own hero in her husband. When she's not chasing her daughter or their lovable-but-stupid Goldendoodle around the house, she's deep in her own fictional world, building another love story. Finally living the civilian life after many years being moved via the Marine Corps, Jeanette and her family live across the river from St. Louis.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review: First to Fight 2: Against The Ropes
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 December 2015
Against the Ropes by Jeanette Murray is the second book in her First To Fight series. It is the continuing story of the Marine boxing team we met in the first book, Below the Belt, and this book focuses on the story of Gregory Higgs and Reagan Robilard.

Well-paced, great characters, with the element of suspense woven throughout these marines and their women will keep you enthralled page after page. Reagan is trying to keep the publicity for the boxing team in a positive light but with the vandal/s out to get them not only on base, but out of town as well and now a reporter eager to smear their reputations with anything they can find her job has just become infinitely more difficult. Gregory didn't think that being on the team was a big deal. Until he made it and the sense of belonging began to seep in. Add in Reagan Robilard and he found there was nowhere else he wanted to be but right there wherever she was.

With a happily ever after, this story was fantastic. The element of suspense is ongoing and I can't wait for the next story... Graham & Kara... Fight to the Finish.

I loved this book so much! Her characters are so strong in every book I've read of hers and it makes it a joy to read. All through the book I found myself thinking, "Oh my god! I totally say that all the time!" I feel like I just mesh well with her books and really can't wait for #3 in this series. If you haven't read one of Jeanette Murray's books I recommend you try this series

4.0 out of 5 stars bad publicity, etc continues from the first story
Reviewed in the United States on 18 October 2015

Second book in the First to Fight series. Stories follow maries competing to make a spot in the Military games. A secondary plot of someone trying to stop the group from getting to the games - vandalizing the gym, slashing tires, bad publicity, etc continues from the first story. From all parts of the Marines, this story is about a Marie with a past hewants to forget. he remade himself when he went into the military and does not want to look back on who he was before. Solid story, some love interest. Likeable characters. Easy reading - but I am still waiting for book three and resolution to who is vandalizing the Marines' stuff.
