Action, intrigue, Intel, and yep a bit of simmer underneath it all - well rounded and fast read that will keep you turning the page and rooting for the team, and the girl and the guy ...

I really enjoyed Fighting for Adalyn. Rowan and Adalyn were the couple I didn't know I needed.

I think this book is one of Katie's best. Adalyn is a strong and competent character. Her and Rowan have good chemistry and this book included tension and some well deserved groveling which is an element I really enjoy. Rowan was in awe of Adalyn's strength and was determined to crack through her exterior and he wanted to be the person she let take care of her. He learned from his past mistakes. Adalyn pushed him away and had her walls raised which made sense given their baggage but they both worked on their relationship and were able to be vulnerable with each other. I think there was a good balance between suspense and the romance aspect as well. I will probably go back and reread some of their parts in Fighting for Reese.

This can be read as a standalone without issues, but I would recommend the whole series for maximum enjoyment. I love how Katie brings in past characters and how readers get to catch up with them. That and the found family aspect make this series really special. Every book with Skye is already off to a great start for me. Everything about this book coupled with the setting of New Orleans made it a great read for me.
