Story
Commitment was never my thing. But I've been directionless for far too long. It's time to take on some responsibilities and get my life together. Bidding on my best friend's brother at a bachelor auction didn't help me with that. Neither did having a hot, secret fling with him. Too bad that didn't stop me. Because now I'm in way over my head. And I'm afraid I might not be ready for the biggest commitment of all. Love

Story
Demi Crawford was Magnolia Falls royalty. I was the boxer from the wrong side of the tracks. She was the epitome of everything good, while I was broody and rebellious. We couldn’t be more different. Her family was enemy number one which made her guilty by association. I despised her before I even knew her. It was easier that way. But now she’d moved in next door to me, and she was everywhere I turned. I couldn’t avoid her no matter how hard I tried. She was beautiful and honest and sweet. Everything I knew I shouldn’t want. Shouldn’t need.

When I finally saw Macon Davis for who he was, we both went down in the flames.

The scowl should’ve been my first clue to stay far away from Anson Hunt. The sexy smirk and the fact that he’s my brother’s best friend? Reasons two and three. Not to mention, he’s the new contractor working on my house. He’s everything I’m not: grumpy, rude, and more than a little attached to his solitude. It doesn’t matter how many times I try to kill him with kindness; the man simply won’t crack. Until he sees me shatter. Because when my world comes crashing down around me, Anson is the one catching me as I fall.

Ten years later, I'm back on the island for my best friend's wedding as her maid of honor. Who's the first person I literally stumbled into? Riley Dixon. Even worse? He's the groom's best man and a self-made billionaire to boot. Being forced to spend an entire week together for wedding festivities quickly leads to more—hot hate sex, late nights of sneaking out, and unexpected revelations. The boy I knew a decade ago is gone, and the hate becomes… something else entirely. And I begin to wonder if Riley is hiding some secrets of his own.

In the beginning, there was Savannah Shaw. Teasing me with a mischievous, merciless grin by day. Crawling through my window with tear-stained cheeks by night. I was ordered to avoid her. Lectured on her misdeeds. Forbidden from seeing her. But my need to protect her was innate. So natural I never questioned it. So visceral I couldn’t fight it.

Publisher's summary
The mask she wears for the world is flawless.
But I want the mess that she hides underneath.
Samantha Harper is untouchable.
She's the closest thing we have to royalty in my small town.
Daughter of a senator.
Richer than sin.
Classy, elegant, and Ice cold.
She's my polar opposite.
And unfortunately, She's exactly my type.
Too bad royalty doesn't fraternize with peasants.
Until one night, Samantha Harper finds herself at my mercy, and the temptation to dirty up her flawless façade is too great.
When her perfect mask slips, It's not an ice princess I find beneath, But a warrior in war-torn armor.
A snake in queen's clothing.
All it takes is one night, and I'm determined.
She will never have to fight another battle alone.
***The Love You Fight For is the third book in the Next Life world.
It has a guaranteed HEA.
While The Love You Fight For can be enjoyed as a standalone, it is recommended that you first listen to the Next Life duet to fully appreciate the story.

And when I finally saw him, it was the best and worst thing to ever happen to me. We burned hot and fast. Passion. Anger. Love. Pain. We were reckless. Naive. We were doomed from the start. When I finally saw Macon Davis for who he was, we both went down in the flames.

Story
Once upon a time, Caven Hunt saved my life. We were only kids, but the trauma of that day destroyed us both. Years later, he didn't recognize me when a one-night stand unexpectedly reconnected us. And nine months later, when I left our newborn daughter on his doorstep, I didn't recognize myself either. The darkness doesn't always win, though. It took four agonizing years for me to find myself again—years during which our daughter grew up without a mother.

In the morning, she was gone and had taken my solace with her. I left for the military that day, vowing never to return to Pennsylvania. When my father dies, I’m forced to go home to bury him. At least I'll finally be rid of his farm, which is grown over and tangled with memories I've fought to forget. And that’s when I find her. She’s even more beautiful than I remember and has the most adorable kid I’ve ever seen. Years have passed, but my feelings are the same, and this time I refuse to let her go. They say you can't bury the past, and they're right.

When my sister asked me to take a course for her while she went out of town for work, I reluctantly agreed. I wasn't expecting to step into a university auditorium filled with overactive libidos lusting after the professor. And I certainly wasn't expecting to become one of those women myself, but there's something about Lorenzo Costello that makes him irresistible. He's the kind of man mothers warn their daughters about - mysterious, gorgeous, experienced, wild - and for some crazy reason he wants me.

There wasn’t a lot that surprised me. My years in the Navy taught me a lot, my years hunting human traffickers taught me the rest. Meeting a beautiful woman in a bar and spending the night with her should’ve been a blip on my radar. Instead, I spent years trying to forget her. In the middle of a rescue operation, fate dropped her back into my life, but there was a twist—she wasn’t alone.

He's cranked off. Because of me. Well, guess what? It's not the first time I've made a tech bro cranky. Just because I wear skirts doesn't mean I'm going to let them think I'm any less of a programmer than they are.

My name is Jupiter Reeves, and I am a fraud. It's not that what's written about me isn't true. I am the greatest third baseman of my generation, possibly ever. I am surly and unapproachable. I do have a constant scowl with an armor of tattoos. To the outside world, I play my role as the bad boy of baseball like I was born to do it. But when the doors are closed, and you boil it down, I'm nothing more than a man who lost his heart too young, with no prospect of getting it back... especially as I still have no idea where its current owner is.

My first crush. My first kiss. The boy who ripped my heart out of my chest again and again. Over and over. I let him have it every single time. Willingly. We are that toxic high school couple you hear about, the one you witness in the hallway as they avoid each other. You laugh at them in class when they’re forced to work together, their gazes full of hatred. We are the couple you gossip about when they win homecoming prince and princess their sophomore year.... The back and forth is what kills me the most. I’m not his princess, I’m the girl he toys with when he’s bored.

This book was addictive! I love Brit Bensons style of writing. Amazing story! Loved Samantha. She was so strong and fought so hard! Chris was so freaking amazing. Fighting for her standing by her side. He could see who she really was. Not just some rich girl! This whole book was a roller coaster. I felt so much emotion through. Hurt. Love. The pain. The loss.

Welcome back to Next Life world - beautiful
Thank you, Brit Benson. Thank you, Brit Benson. Thank you, Brit Benson. Words cannot express how happy I was to start reading this book and become immersed once again in the Next Life world. I had barely started the Prologue and I was already mad, sad, shocked (well, given Sam’s family, not really shocked but appalled), and then crying because her relationship with Lennon is the lifeline they both so desperately need – and the only one either of them had for a time. Let me stop right here and tell you that if you haven’t already read the first two books in the Next Life series you should do it now. The Love You Fight For is wonderful as a standalone but all three books? Amazing. You don’t want to miss a word of the backstories.
Just when we think we know all there is to know about Samantha Harper, another facet appears. When we first met her she was the spoiled little rich girl, wild, reckless, spiteful and in a sometimes and mostly for convenience relationship with bad boy Macon Davis. A relationship desperate and destructive for both of them, but all either of them could manage over the hurt and rejection they both felt. Then somehow, unpredictably, Sam and good girl Lennon Capri Washington form an unbreakable bond at the time of Macon’s overdose. When we last saw Sam, everybody was getting along, and hometown boy Christopher Casper was part of the group.
So what happened? There was a little hint, just a feeling maybe, that odd as it might be given how opposite Chris and Sam are there might be a spark there, someday something might become a flame. But now? Now they speak, but there’s no warmth in it, more like needling and provocation. Their paths only cross because Chris is Macon’s best friend and Sam and Lennon still have that bond.
Sam never seemed like a very happy girl, and she doesn’t seem like a very happy woman. She’s still working for her father the mighty Senator but it’s obvious she hates him. She seems to be waiting for something, but for what? And how long is she going to have to wait? Her family is the dictionary definition of dysfunctional. Parenting? What’s that? Senator Harper is powerful, ruthless, misogynistic, using people as pawns and so much more evil than we even imagined. He raised a son, Chase, to be just like him. Chase is always being shipped off to some corner of the world on “business” but really to dry out or escape the consequences of his actions. Their mother? Out of the picture except for the occasional command performance, otherwise living her life away from the husband and children she so obviously cares nothing for.
Which brings us to Chris. As TLYFF unfolds we realize how little we really knew about him. Good guy or bad guy? Good family or bad family? What is he besides the guy Macon can always depend on? Well, he’s a lot more. Good guy, good close family, hard worker, ambitions, dreams – and some little nagging feelings for Samantha Harper. Good feelings or bad feelings? Can’t be sure yet. When whatever happened that drove him and Sam apart as even casual friends, he entered a relationship and proposed. When we first see Chris again Sable has just laughed in Chris’ face over the proposal, and Macon is helping him burn everything that reminds him of Sable. He feels played, used, unwanted, unappreciated, pessimistic about his future.
So when we reenter the Next Life world in TLYFF and reunite with possibly our two favorite characters ever – Macon and Lennon, who else – we long for Sam to find peace, contentment, someone that can just be hers, someone she can be herself with – and to be out of the danger that seems to surround her as this new campaign starts. We also long for Chris to achieve his dreams and to find that special someone he deserves. Being the romantic readers that we are and knowing what an expert author Benson is at working those HEAs we are holding our breath for the Sam & Chris moment. As we get more glimpses into the Sam of now we realize how strong she is and that she has a plan. A dangerous plan but one that just might give her what she needs. And Chris continues to surprise. Benson does such a magical job of making Chris a study in contrasts, but contrasts that complement and balance. He seems to hold back and be a little unsure around Sam, but at the same time pulls no punches. As the story continues he becomes more forceful, more protective, not afraid to show his feelings and back up his feelings with action. He pushes harder and harder for her to open up, and amazingly she does. And in intimate moments there is nothing at all unsure about Chris. Is this marvelous or what?
I could probably write a review as long as the book just telling you everything I love about the book, but you really need to experience it yourself. It’s emotional, angsty, sad, funny, and has a bit of mystery. I love Macon and am not ashamed to admit having more Macon made my heart go pitter-patter. Claire – the eternally evil one – is mentioned just enough that I’m worried I might have to actually feel sorry for her one of these days. But not yet, this is Sam and Chris’ time in the spotlight.
I read the book, and then I was lucky enough to get an advance audiobook. Wonderful reads and even more wonderful listens: amazing narrators that will transport you to that Next Life world and so much more emotional and impactful when listening. You are pulled immediately into the story; you feel everything – the pain, the fear, the humiliation. Listening makes the tears come faster and the joyful moments even warmer. Desireé Ketchum’s performance is spot on, exactly as you have imagined Sam – her pain, her horror, her strength. Ketchum voices the Sam we’ve already met and this Sam we are just learning about. Austin Stone – what a voice, so commanding - turns Chris the sidekick into a man who has come into his own, who fills this book with his presence and personality. Bonus: Desireé /Sam and Austin/Chris play off each other perfectly. Double bonus: duet narration. Makes hearing Benson’s magical stories even more magical.
Thanks to Home Cooked Books for providing an advance listening copy of The Love You Fight For. So happy to discover so much more about Sam and Chris and continue with characters we already know and love. It was nearly impossible to take out my earbuds. I voluntarily leave this review; all opinions are my own.

Duet and both narrators are AMAZING?!? 🔥🔥🔥
Where to start. I finished this book on March 4th and I’m still processing.
Chris and Sam are perfection. Absolute perfection. Sam is the bada$$ FFM that dominates the room as soon as she enters. She’s been through some tough shiz but she doesn’t let that stop her from achieving her goal. Unfortunately she doesn’t know how to care for herself the way she truly needs it. Enter Chris Casper. Chris is a small town man with the biggest heart. He cares for so many people and he cares for them deeply. He sees Sam for who she is and isn’t scared of the patience and work he will have to put into their relationship. He sees that she is strong enough to fight her battles but knows she shouldn’t have to. They were made for each other.
Okay now onto the book. This book was so damn funny. I laughed so much. I need a blue ridge alligator sicker immediately. The banter was spot on. The dirty talk, THE DIRTY TALK. It was so darn good!! Best I’ve read in a hot minute! Ugh this man could pour bourbon on me any day.
If you’ve read Brit’s books you know her books are emotional, this was no different. I only cried a few times but I found the tears were more so for how beautiful the scene was. How vulnerable the characters had to make themselves.
If you haven’t read the Next Life Duet PLEASE READ IT FIRST!!! You’ll understand Sam better and you’ll understand why Macon and Lennon are so important.
I cannot recommend this book enough ♥️
I loved this book before it even came out and I’m here to tell you the narration in this audiobook makes it an even more enjoyable experience!! Austin Stone is perfection. Desiree brings Sam to life! Cannot recommend this duet audio enough!

Light the match, princess.
I loved this book so much that I couldn’t wait for the audio. And it more than delivered. It’s an emotional story that deals with a lot of past—and present—darkness, and both Desiree and Austin did a bang-up job. I was enthralled.
Sam has had it rough. Her story is heartbreaking. She wears a mask—and it’s a good one that took her years to build. The real Sam is there under the layers of makeup and fancy clothes, under years of fake smiles.
Even Chris doesn’t see her at first… But it doesn’t take him long to turn his sarcastic “princess” moniker into a loving one. And it’s even better in audio!
Sam is the daughter of a senator, and Chris is a common guy. She comes from money, he doesn’t. There are more than enough reasons for them not to be compatible. But Chris can’t quite get away from the hold she has on him, even when they bicker, which is often.
The famous Chapter 10. The couch. The bourbon. They are both deliciously dirty and swoony at the same time, and Chris is hot—favorite position and all—while being loving just the same. If you’re wondering if Austin delivers, oh yes, he does. 100%.
And Sam—this wonderfully strong, resilient, determined girl—falls for Chris. Or, better yet, they fall together.
There are twists and turns in this story, but the way it’s been constructed pulls you in and keeps you there. I found myself staying inside the car just to listen a bit more. I’m not sure if my boss is happy about that, though.
I love Desiree, and I knew she’d be perfect as Sam. She showcased Sam’s vulnerability and strength just as amazingly as she gave me Sam’s fear and tears. She shone in the darker moments of this book just as much as she did in their (hard-won) happily ever after.
And Austin matches her, just like Chris matches Sam. His voice conveys whatever the heroine needs at that time, and it makes this duet special.
If you want an audiobook that shows you the magic of finding someone who loves you and is there for you whatever happens, go for this one.

Intense Character Journey, Powerful Performances
Brit has done it again. This is book 3 in the Next Life Series (following the duet for Lennon & Macon) and it really does need to be read in sequence. Sam’s evolution, her relationship with Lennon, Macon and her hero Chris build out of those high school foundations. Also, for anyone that has read all of Brit’s works, there are little treats for you to happy dance over, if you’re sharp enough to spot them (I love when authors do this BTW).
Sam is so complex of a character. She has so many facets to her personality, so many masks that she wears in her life. It seems like no one ever sees the real her. But Chris starts to see her, he starts to crave seeing under the mask of perfection, the armour that Sam wears to go into her daily battles.
I love the way Chris sees her and won’t let her shut him out. He falls so hard, so fast and works endlessly to show her that he cares. He wants to be the one that she can let it all go with and just be “Sam”, to care for her body and spirit.
The journey in this story is intense at times and so layered. Sam is on a mission and it’s draining to see her start to crack under this pressure she’s imposed upon herself. But when she’s with Chris, I love the way he coaxes her to relax and just be still, at peace for as long as possible. These two are so very opposite in so many ways, but so essentially perfect for each other. Like pieces of a puzzle, they just fit.
The audiobook is performed in Duet style by Desireé Ketchum & Austin Stone. These two bring the characters to life so perfectly. Desireé ran me through Sam's emotional range from Ice Princess, to Masked Warrior to vulnerable and real with Lennon and eventually Chris. She build the walls into her voice and when the crashed down, the pain, the torment, the anguish, it was all there making me all teary and sick. Austin has such skill with his vocal expression. He made me swoon and melt with Chris, the dirty talk, the caretaking, the support for Sam, the little laughs and smirks, I could just hear it all in his voice. But then he gave me the characters and voices that made my skin crawl. I didn't need to know who they were (but once I did it made it worse, because I KNEW), I heard the slimy, scummy nature of those men in the choices Austin made. I'm blown away.
I requested and was provided with an advanced copy of the ebook and the audiobook. These are my honest opinions.

Absolutely Brilliant
If you have enjoyed the Next Life Duet (book 1 & 2) then you will understand when I say Samantha has redeemed herself and became a favorite in, The Love You Fight For (book 3), and if you haven’t i definitely recommend you listen to those audiobooks. There were also amazing cameos from our past favorites, Lennon and Macon in this book. You can enjoy The Love You Fight For as a stand-alone and get to know Samantha and all she has been through to make her the badass that she is. This book takes you on an emotional and inspiring journey, one that teaches you that even with all the dark days, the lies, the secrets, and the horrible people that you call “family”, there are still people out there that care and will protect you, even if you don’t think you deserve it. Samantha has been let down immensely by her family, the people who are supposed to be there for you no matter what, for that Sam is cold, closed off, and has only let Lennon, her best friend in. Chris Caspar has known Samantha since they were kids, when she comes back into his life as adults he finally sees past the fake assumptions he’s placed on her, and sees Sam in a different light, a connection deeper than the rich girl facade she puts up. Chris gives her comfort when she is alone and ultimately gives her that sense of found family she is in desperate need of, happily ever after or not, he is going to be there for her. Chris is now a top tier book boyfriend for me, not only was he a man of his word, he was sweet, thoughtful, funny, had the sexiest way with words and made Samantha feel cared for all while she was navigating so many personal demons. Sam has been through the unimaginable, and when she lets Chris in, together they let the truths free.
Let’s not forget about the perfect narrator casting for this audiobook too, Desiree Ketchum and Austin Stone were absolute gems narrating this story in duet. I related to Samantha in so many ways and Desiree brought her to life, she had me feeling every ounce of her bad girl, take charge attitude, to her vulnerability and the sadness she was masking. Austin Stone nailed this performance as Chris, with each little chuckle he incorporated making me grin from ear to ear with his sexy growl and playful ways as well as when things got serious he added that bit of flare to show not to mess with his girl or else.
I absolutely loved this book, as well as the duet and would recommend to anyone interested in an angsty love story with all the fun twist and turns that keep you hooked.
Thank you home cooked For the opportunity to listen and review this audiobook

Perfection
For those who go to comments looking for narration: This is DUET, and it is absolutely perfect. This is the first I’ve listened to by Austin and….wow….just wow. I would gladly listen to him read the newspaper.
Brit Benson has quickly become one of my favorite authors. This series has my whole heart and I loved this one just as much as the others. Love, life, friendship, spice- It is all there and this is worth so much more than 1 credit.

Brit writes deep emotional romance like no other!
I recently re-immersed myself in the captivating world of Next Life and was instantly hit with a wave of emotions from anger to tears right from the Prologue. The connection between Sam and Lennon is truly special, and if you haven't read the first two books, you're truly missing out! "The Love You Fight For" is a strong standalone book, but the whole trilogy tells an irresistible story. The evolution of Samantha’s character is remarkable, as she transforms from a reckless person stuck in a toxic relationship to forming a deep bond with Lennon. Then, there's Christopher Casper, a hometown guy who seems to be sparking a potential romance with Sam. However, their current interactions lack the warmth they once had. Sam continues to struggle with her detestable senator father and her manipulative family. Chris is portrayed as kind-hearted and ambitious, but his past with Sam remains a mystery. The story unfolds as Chris grapples with a broken proposal and a sense of betrayal. As we revisit the Next Life realm, we find ourselves rooting for Sam to find peace and for Chris to follow his heart. Sam's strength shines as she navigates risks with a glimmer of hope, while Chris surprises us with his evolving traits and growing assertiveness. The story is truly a rollercoaster of emotions - angsty, mysterious, and heartwarming. Macon and Lennon’s presence adds delight and the mention of Claire hints at intriguing twists ahead. For now, all eyes are on Sam and Chris as their journey unfolds in this gripping tale. I was truly captivated by Desiree's portrayal of Sam, as she brought out Sam's vulnerability, strength, fear, and tears in an incredibly moving way. Equally impressive was Austin's ability to complement her and convey whatever the heroine needed, making the audiobook truly special. The duet-style performance by Desireé Ketchum & Austin Stone vividly brought the characters to life, with Desireé skillfully navigating Sam's emotional journey and Austin's voice bringing depth and realism to the characters.

I'm officially a Brit Benson Stan!
Wow, what a ride this book was! This was my first Brit Benson book, and it certainly won't be my last. There was angst, spice, and all the feels I crave in a book. I didn't read the duet that comes before this one about Macon & Lennon, but I felt this third book held its own just fine.
In this story, we have Samantha Harper, who is the daughter in a very wealthy political family. To the world, she's an ice queen who is ruthless about doing whatever it takes to follow her family to the top. Underneath the masks she wears so well, she is an emotionally scarred and abused young woman. She's no victim, though. She is still ruthless and can be vicious, but her goals lie solely with getting revenge and taking her family down. Or rather, that was her only goal until she truly started to get to know her former classmate and childhood acquaintance, Chris.
Chris Casper is just coming off the humiliation and heartbreak of a failed relationship with a woman he couldn't see was completely wrong for him until after she broke up with him. It's when he's trying to stitch back the pieces of his heart and pride when Sam becomes more visible in his life again. She ends up renting the apartment above the bar he works at, and through many icy and at times scathing interactions, he starts to see under the mask she wears to protect herself.
Initially, Chris and Sam's interactions have been antagonistic at best, and Chris figures Samantha exhibits the same red flag energy as his ex. The problem is, her snarky, prickly personality is like catnip to Chris, and despite himself, he's drawn to her like a moth to a flame waiting to consume him.
Sam did NOT make loving her easy. She has so much unhealed past trauma with basically every man she has ever put any trust in (starting with her ex and best friend's current beau, Macon). To say she doesn't trust easily, men especially, is an understatement. She put Chris through so many trials when all he wanted to do was help her fight her battles and be her safe space. Chris was incredibly patient with her, even allowing his fragile heart to get kicked time and again while she learned to trust him. Chris is the ultimate book boyfriend for that alone, not to mention his other attributes 🥵
This was an ALC provided to me by the author and Home Cooked Books. This was narrated in duet by Austin Stone and Desire Ketchum. They both did a fantastic job of capturing all emotions in this story, from the sleezeball politicians to the angsty crying your soul out moments. Oh, and the spice was definitely spicing in duet!
I absolutely loved this book from start to finish, I didn't want it to end!
