On the Ropes #2 (Fighting Shadows) REVIEWS

The start of Flints story finds him a shell of his previous shelf. Holding on to a lot of anger and bitterness and still struggling with his feelings for Eliza.

Trying hard to not seem bitter about the fact that he may neverwalk again and not being able to handle the guilt for the feelings he has for his brothers wife, Eliza, Flint decides to move away from the family, live alone and go to college.

At his lowest Ash Mabie comes crashing into his life.



Ash hasn't had the greatest life either. With a mother dead and a father who forces her to hustle she doesn't have anyone to really care for her.

When she meets Flint she's able to see pass the bitter boy and get to know and fall for the good man that lies beneath.

       It was always a fight for them.

          Will he FIGHT to let go?

           Will she FIGHT to stay?

"In my dreams you were walking"

"In mine you stayed"


--------------------------------- 

Ash was c-r-a-z-y but I absolutely LOVED that! She was indepedent, funny and so giving. Despite Flint being a total dick to her she pushed him and made him laugh, she was the only one to be able to crack his shell.

My heart hurt for Flint. Yeah he was a total asshole at times but the things he was so close to losing everything and having to deal with all these stuff at ones, I think all of us would be kinda lost for a while. 

I adored their relatioship their fights and bickering were adorable and the sex (when it finally happened) was HOT! 

---------------------------------

Fighting Silence is a beautiful emotional book. Reading it and experiencing everything that Flint was going through made you realise that you can't take anything for granted cause it can be taken away from you at any second. 
You have to fight for what you want and never give up no matter how many obstacles you find.



I can't recommend this series enough! Just read it!

~~I suggest reading Fighting Silence first cause this book continues exactly where book 1 left us.~~


PS HOLY FUCK! Did you read the chapter about Q? I can already feel the heart-break coming... I need his book!!!!

5 stars!! 



Ash is a girl who was raised with a father who turned her into an excellent pickpocket. They kept moving around the country, never settling down and never letting her attend a high school. 

Flint was following his brother's steps in becoming a professional boxer before tragedy happened. After an incident, he got paralyzed. Now Flint has become a broody asshole, pushing everyone aside, disappearing while trying to make a life on his own. 

Somehow, destiny brings them together and even though Flint's behavior makes him a tough challenge, Ash is determined to reveal the man he's hiding under that attitude.



But when he admits to her that he's in love with someone else, her quirky side isn't enough to protect her from the heartbreak and along with his protecting shell he manages to push her away. And when he regrets this it's too late.. 

I was a jaded asshole who fell for a girl with a knack for running away. I couldn’t even walk but I would have spent a lifetime chasing her.

Aly Martinez is A GENIOUS. How can she take a common theme and turn it into magic? Maybe she's not a genious. Maybe she's a magician. My point is, the woman is so talented and she's managed to become one of my favorite authors because of this series. 

The writing once again was wonderful, making me love the heroine, something that not always happens, making me feel for Flint, even though there were moments that he was acting like an asshole. But still, overall, Fighting Shadows was a smart, fun and emotional read that I can't recommend enough. I believe everyone who hasn't read this series is missing. 

Can't express how much I'll be impatiently waiting for Q's book. He was probably my favorite character from the Page siblings and I'm certain it's going to be devastating, after reading his chapter, but bring the pain.
