Review:

4 Stars

This is my first book by Jessica Myel and what an introduction to an amazing author. 

Fighting With Light is the second book, in the authors The Coldwell Brothers series. While the book is a standalone, each book in the series is interconnected and needs to be read in order to.

The book centers around Liam, a playboy surfing world champion and Aelia, a party-girl mafia princess.

I enjoyed this book from start to finish. It was an action-packed-adrenalin-filled rollercoaster complete with danger, suspense and intrigue that left me sitting on the edge of my seat, only to have me laughing at the witty banter between the main characters and swooning when the chemistry between Liam and Aelia went next level hot.

Getting to know Liam and Aelia made me fall deeper in love with them.

Liam who would literally do anything to protect his family, no matter the cost. Aelia who is tough and feisty - the public facade she presents to the world, but is so much more when that mask comes off. 

You did an amazing job Jessica and I can't wait for the next book in the series!
