About this ebook
These U.S. Marines are always the first to fight when it comes to their country…or the women they love.
One night with a hero. One secret. One man who can save her life.
MARSOC Operator Benjamin Hart is used to having control in all things. As his Team’s Joint Terminal Attack Controller, he’s always responsible and contained. His careful composure snaps when he sees Olivia “Livvie” James, his best friend’s little sister. She’s a spitfire with heated looks and smart mouth to match. He comes alive when he’s around her and for once he throws caution to the wind and spends a night with her before he deploys to parts unknown.
Livvie has always wanted Ben and even though sensibility tells her to steer clear, her heart can’t resist. The night was supposed to be no-strings-attached, until it produces consequences neither of them had anticipated. When she reaches out to Ben without success, she decides to forget him — and how safe she felt in his arms.
When Ben returns after a career-ending injury, Livvie has no other choice but to come clean. Until a devastating attack bares her secret on national news before she has a chance. She has only one way to repair the damage.
She must trust the man she lied to. The only man who could save what they had created together.

Warrior is the second book in the First to Fight series. The characters of Ben and Olivia are well developed, strong, and meant for each other. The storyline is heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time, with passion, a surprise baby, family, danger, suspense, intrigue, and a second chance for romance. The author handled the wartime injuries with sensitivity. I loved this book and cannot wait for the next one in the series. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I enjoyed this book for many reasons but I also felt that it was one of those "You must take the good with the bad reads". I thought that the writing was really good and the story quickly pulled me in, held my interest and kept me right on the edge with lots of suspense. I really liked Ben and felt he was a very realistic character that was easy to feel for. Then we have Olivia. What can I say except I had a big problem with her. Sure I felt bad for her and yes, I wanted her to get that HEA with Ben because if anyone deserved a HEA it was them, but still somethings are unforgivable and unfortunately her big secret was one of them for me. Still, if you can try to ignore that as much as possible (as I did) or if it is just not a pet peeve for you this was a really entertaining read.
