The Fight
This book is recommended for readers 18+ due to sexual interactions and strong course language.
Hank Jones is about to endure the fight of his career. Preparing for this night his entire life, there's only one thing standing in his way of a knockout victory...her!
Taryn Morris, the daughter of Hank's trainer, recently moved back home after graduating college. The tomboy that left town four years ago is not the same girl that has now walked back into his life.
Growing up together through their adolescent years, there was never an emotion or physical connection between them. Now, years later, Hank can't seem to get Taryn out of his mind.
Can Hank ignore this magnetic pull to focus on his fight or will he risk it all for the biggest fight of his life...for her?

About the author
T.H. Snyder
40 books1,006 followersI’m a fun-loving, down-to-earth kind of chick who loves to laugh, smile, and have a good time. Born in Allentown, Pennsylvania in September 1979, I’m a true East Coast girl who loves the mountains and the beach. In Spring 2012, I became an avid reader and since have read over 300 books ranging across genres, primarily focused on romance and paranormal. Simply put, reading is my escape, a way for me to turn off the outside world and get lost in a new one. I’ve found a true love in reading and writing, and I never imagined I’d be where I am today. When I started writing my first novel in June 2013, I was anxious to see where my journey would take me. Becoming an author has been a dream come true. This is more than just a hobby for me, it’s my passion!!

I am sitting here in a state of shock with goosebumps on my arms after reading this book! I have yet to find a book from t.h. snyder that I haven't loved but this one takes the cake! This is by far my favorite book of hers. I was pulled in from the first page and left with my jaw on the floor by the end. Hank and Taryn will grab you and not let go. At first I wasn't sure I was going to like Hank but He stole my heart. I am completely in love with him! Dare I say he may be my # 1 book boyfriend of 2014! I am not sure how I feel about Taryn yet but she is growing on me. The twists and turns involving these two will have your head spinning. Then you factor in a best friend and a twin brother and chaos is bound to happen.
t.h. snyder has an amazing ability of writing her characters so that the reader can feel a connection with them and this book is the same way. There were several times while reading that I got goosebumps. She did an amazing job getting me to visualize the characters while I was reading. Through the whole book it was like watching a movie in my head. I could picture everything! t.h. snyder is an amazing author and one of my top 5 authors of all time! This is a major MUST READ OF 2014!

This story is one that has been sitting in my mind for a few months. I knew I wanted to portray a strong friendship between 3 characters and a journey that will all lead them toward their futures. Then a little snarky blonde fell into the mix and BAM here we are...
Hank Jones is a fighter and wants nothing more than to become a champion. He's lived his life surrounded by his twin brother and best friend, but something has always stood in his way of happiness.
Taryn Morris is the cute, lovable girl that Hank's brother and best friend can't get enough of...yet she still haunts Hank's thoughts.
These two characters may seem as if they'd rather eat dirt than be in one another's presence, but times change and so do their feelings.
I hope you enjoy this serial series as much as I have writing it....#teamHank

Loved the book and the main two characters Hank And Taryn!

There isn't a book by T. H Snyder that I don't love and yet again she made me love The Fight.
We meet Hank and Taryn at a young age, they seem to have a connection but neither make the first move, they just watch each other from a far. After an incident at a birthday party the distance grows rapidly and last a few year after Taryn moves away. But now she is back and moves herself in Hanks life must to his distaste. The connection is still there but Hank holds his feelings back for the sake of his twin brother and best friend. I will admit I wanted to slap Hank a few times, and tell him to let his feelings out but you have to love him at the same time. He puts everyone's feelings before his own. Taryn has loved Hank for as long as she could remember but like Hank she held her feelings close to herself, putting up with his horrible behaviour before she left. They both have different versions for the actions but they soon come to light.
It was nice to see that in the end the truth and feels came to the surface and the attraction was in full effect but what will happen when people find out they are together? Will their relationship survive?

"OMFREAKINGGOSH I LOVED IT!!!!!!!"
5 Stars... only because that's as high as we are allowed to go!!
I had seen the teasers sand cover all over facebook, I knew I had to read this book...just from those alone!!! Until I started reading it and found myself drawn into the lives of Hank, Taryn, Mike and Trenton...I didn't realize how much I was going to love this book.
Even from the beginning I was yelling at Hank for stupid decisions. I had tears sitting there waiting to fall at several parts of the book. I never knew I could get so lost in a novella, but this book is no ordinary novella.
All of the characters are AMAZING!!! I loved them all, but I have to admit Hank is my favorite.
T.H. Snyder's way with words and her ability to draw you in right from the beginning has me not only LOVING The Fight, but I am impatiently awaiting the other books in The Fight Series, and I am also seeking out her other books as well.

**I received an ARC for an honest review**
T.H Snyder have a great and a unique way to write story's that draws the reader into the story. You become attached to the characters and the pull to know more about them takes you on a road of adventures. I've now read a few of her books and this new one, the Fight, doesn't disappoint.... Who doesn't want to read about a tattooed, bad boy fighter who's madly in love with the one girl he can't have....? Maybe if he tells himself to many times that she isn't the one, maybe it's true?! You get to know Hank and Taryn, and the brother Trenton and best friend Mike...
Already waiting for book number 2....

I didn't think I could like any of T.H. Snyder's books anymore than I already did, but this one beat all of them hands down. I could picture the story in my head like a movie...heck I would watch a movie based off of this book. Hank and Taryn have a long bumpy ride ahead of them, I can already tell. This may be a short book, but it gave you all the emotions I could handle. I highly recommend this book to anyone that likes a good love story. But be warned, there is a little bit of erotica involved...not too much in this story, but I'm guessing in the sequel(s) it will get even sexier. I can't tell you enough how much I loved this book. I read it in 2 hours. I couldn't put it down.
November 24, 2014
t.h. snyder is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. She writes her characters with so much emotion and feeling that you feel a personal connection to every one. She has done it again with Hank and Taryn in The Fight Book 1. Hank and Taryn have had an undeniable pull to each other since they were young, neither understanding what it really was. As they got older their thoughts each other were all consuming; but were they the hate, lust, or something much deeper. The "Queen of Cliffhangers" will definitely leave you wanting for more these two!

This book was amazing! I love T.H.’s book but this one was my favorite. I thought it was well written and the story was intriguing. I was not able to put it down, and finished it in one day. I LOVE Hank. His character made the story so good, and not to forget Taryn love her. The chemistry between the two was hot. I love the love/hate relationship. Also the secondary characters were amazing also. Only problem I had with the story is that it ended. I was like NO!!! Hurry up T.H. I need more Hank and Taryn!! Great job girl!
November 24, 2014
Oh Hank! You made my heart ache for you! I was giggling through the first few chapters then gasping, I am so in love this book! I cannot wait for the rest! Talk about Queen of Cliffhangers! I cannot wait to see where Hank and Taryn go in the series! Loved it!!! I also feel for Hanks twin and best friend....I can see a lot of heartbreak coming!

I was gifted a copy of this book. This was my first book written by T.H. Snyder and it won't be my last. I loved this book, I sat down and read it in one setting. I could not put it down for anything! The love triangle, or "fourangle" as I would call it, was a great story line, not one that I have read before. I can not wait until the next book because that ending... OMG!
December 8, 2014
Wow!! I loved this book, I couldn't put this book down!! I loved the story line and how well the characters were developed!! T.H. Snyder knows how to write a good story!! She is an amazing author and I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone!! I can't wait for the second book in this series to come out!! T.H. Snyder you are the best!!
November 23, 2014
Well what can I say? The master and Queen of cliffhangers pulls no punches! Hank described perfectly. The Fight is just that a fight... I can't even imagine what Mike's book will be like... Awesome read.....

Loved every bit of this book. From beginning to end I was sucked in. Left me wanting more as usual. Can't wait to see how the rest of the series plays out!

Another winner from the Queen of Cliffhangers. This book drew me in from the very beginning and had me completely enthralled for the next 5 hours. I literally couldn't put it down until I was finished. t.h. snyder knows exactly what she is doing and she does it wonderfully. She makes you fall in love with her characters so that you are laughing and crying right along with them.
Hank is a fighter. He is fighting for his career and he is fighting his feelings.
Taryn is a family friend and has had Hank on her brain most of her life. She doesn't understand his reasons for hating her but once she is back home and employed at her fathers gym there will be no avoiding him.
Can Hank focus on the fights coming up or will Taryn's presence be too much for him to handle?
****There were so many times while reading this that I just wanted to slap Hank for the way he treated Taryn. I also wanted to shake Taryn and tell her to give up on Hank and look at his brother, Trenton or best friend, Mike. This was a rollercoaster of emotions. I didn't know who to route for and when. It was one of those "cant we all just get along" kinda reads. ;)

I could feel the adrenaline pumping through the wires of the metal cage and knew one day I wanted to fill their shoes. -Hank
It was a battle of skill, intensity and power. I wanted to harness that power and conquer everything....I wanted to be a champion. -Hank
My Amazon account notified me of a new author I had never heard of and thought I'd 1-click her first book Letting Go....holy shit, I'm hooked, this woman is crazy good. Author J.M Witt is a genius and there was no way I was putting my kindle down until I was finished. -Taryn
He's everything a woman wants in a man, charismatic, devoted, hot as hell and swoon...a master in the bedroom. Be still my heart, I think I'm in love with a fictional boyfriend. -Taryn
Getting involved with someone always seemed like more of a chore than a good time. - Taryn
No frowns allowed I don't need wrinkles this early in life. -Taryn
Feeling so drawn to her is something I can't stop, it's unnerving and I want it to stop. -Hank
I can't help myself; he's all I've ever thought about. He's the one man that has haunted my dreams and made reality a living hell. I need to do this, just once to see if anything sparks. -Taryn
Breathless we both pull away and stare into each other's eyes. I was hoping for a spark to ignite, but what I got was a Fourth of July fireworks show.
Whatever just happened...I know I what I want.
I want more.
I want Hank. -Taryn
All this time I've hidden my feelings for the one woman I could never have. -Hank
It was a mistake, Taryn, something that never should have happened. Take your bag and go home, pretend like none of this happened and we can continue on with our lives as we always have. -Hank
Even if I have to wallow in my own self pity for the loss of the woman I want...Taryn Morris is the one girl I can never have. -Hank
My body desires his touch, my mind wants to hear that he wants me and my heart longs to be his. -Taryn
You're going to wreck me, Taryn. Everything I've ever wanted and worked so hard for, it could all be gone in the blink of an eye because I'm willing to choose you. -Hank

I love you hard <3 <3 <3
This is probably the best THS book ive ever read and they were all amazing so thats saying A LOT !!! she gets better with every book, every page, every word ....
The books concept, AMAZING ~~ the love triangle, ive never seen done this way before and its refreshing and angsty and heartbreaking and loving and adoring and annoying all rolled into one ... The characters are written so well and the point is brought to you .. .slam bam .... like it should be .... Its a serial ... so shorter than a novel, and ive read many where it just doesnt get it across to me as the reader in such a short amount of time ... THIS ISNT ONE OF THOSE SERIALS ~~ it gets to me ... i get it .... i want to get more .... it kills me to have to wait !!
We get some of Hank and Taryn when they were teenagers, and their connection starts from way back then, but neither of them make a move or even realize they have their connection ... And even though there is an incident at a party that comes between them as friends, the connection never actually breaks .... though it will take them forever to realize this .
The attraction is stronger than ever when Taryn comes back from college. she thinks he hates her, he thinks she hates him, .....he thinks she needs to see that his twin and his best friend are better for her, but love has a mind of its own .... I have to admit though, my heart is breaking for Trenton (Hanks Twin) and Mike (the best friend) ....I dont want to give too much away, so you are going to have to read it for yourself ... and make sure you do .... I for one cant get enough ... im going to go completely insane waiting for the next installment. I dont think i will ever get enough of Hank ... and you know, i dont hate Taryn either ... she isnt your typical whiney female lead ... shes a very likeable character (for a girl ewww lol ) and i can feel what she feels. She is written so well and i really really get her.
Hank is awesome ...hot, sexy, broody, and oh so very yummy ... definitely my type of male lead ... .
the side characters are written well, especially those gym chicks :P
the spelling and grammar are great and the storyline gets you and keeps you until you want to scream when you hit the last page and see .... what is that ?? A DAMN CLIFFY !!! thank you Ms Snyder ~~~ grrrrrrrrr
I absolutely recommend you go get yourself a copy of this first book in this serial ...its going to be on your fav list as fast as you can say fav list ....
i cant wait for more !!

I want to start off by saying I’m a huge T.H. Snyder fan and was super stoked to have the opportunity to read an ARC of this book! It’s fantastic I loved it and couldn’t put it down once I started it. Twins Trenton and Huck along with their best friend Mike are in a bit of a love triangle (square?) with their neighbor and long time friend Taryn. Trenton and Mike have been trying to get Taryn to love them back for years but Taryn only has eyes for Huck – Huck is hard core denying his feelings. As Taryn arrives back home after 4 years away at college Huck’s life gets turned upside down. Taryn’s father owns the gym, the Chain, Huck is training as a fighter at. When Taryn comes home from college she immediately decides she wants to train as a fighter and her father not only gives her Gus, Huck’s trainer but also offers Taryn a position as accountant at the Chain.
I love the dynamics of this book, the characters are fantastically written and I can’t wait for more. I love the way that it goes back and forth between Taryn and Huck’s POV, it really makes the book that much more awesome because we’re able to see Huck’s true feelings. It does leave off on a cliffhanger which stinks… I will be impatiently awaiting the release of book two! Great read, highly recommended!

3.5 stars
This is the first book I've ever read by this author. I've heard great things so I had high expectations. It could have been a great book; easily been a 5 star read. The story has serious potential but the content of the story fell short in too many ways.
I feel like it started out so good... but then it just got rushed. The main characters had an attraction 6 years ago (even though apparently they never really had conversations or liked each other)... they hadn't even seen each other in 4 years... they hardly have a conversation at all when they meet back up and even then it's nothing but hateful thoughts and bickering. But, they both claim to love each other... I'm not seeing what this "love" is based on. I understand there will be other books and maybe more will be explained... but this part just seemed hurried and had too little sustenance to support their claims for love.
Also, it just seemed like there was way too much internal monologue. Both characters stayed inside their head too much and didn't have much conversation with anyone else.
I do like the thought of the story and hope that the next book(s) will help me connect better with the characters and their feelings.

Great short read :)
I love T.H. Snyder and her books, so of course I had to read this one :) And I have to say that I loved it :)
Even though the main characters Hank and Taryn are quite young (we are talking 22 years old), for most of the book they feel and act older than their age, which I enjoyed quite a lot. Hank is really determined to succeed in becoming the best fighter there is. He is fighting for what he wants and supports the people he loves. That's probably the reason he is my favorite male character in this story. He is quite mature for his age and his decisions are not not premature and irrational. I loved the struggle he experiences because of his feelings for Taryn. The way he is fighting them for the sake of his brother and best friend shows the strength of his character and that he values his loved ones above even his own desires. In a way that makes him even hotter in my eyes :) Not that he needs it , considering his pantie melting gaze and sizzling hot body ;)
In my opinion, Taryn is the perfect other half for Hank. She also has strong character and is determined to succeed in a field usually reserved for men. And it is definitely cool that she wants to be a professional fighter. I have to say that I admire the drive Taryn has and I think it makes her even more appealing as a character in the story.
Trevor and Mike, on the other hand, act quite irresponsible from time to time (at least in my opinion), especially in comparison to Hank. They feel quite immature for most of the story and I think it will be interesting to see what will happen with them in the next parts of the series. One thing I am sure of, is that they will be quite an interesting obstacle to overcome if Taryn and Hank still want to keep the relationship with them :)
The way the book finished is definitely frustrating and leaves you wanting more. In a way it has a small happy ending but at the same time it leaves the impression that Taryn and Hank still have quite a few things to overcome before they can have their HEA
In a few words, the story is great. The characters are well developed and the flow of the is consistent so don't wait any more and just #oneclick ;) I can guarantee that you won't regret it :)
I love T.H. Snyder and her books, so of course I had to read this one :) And I have to say that I loved it :)
Even though the main characters Hank and Taryn are quite young (we are talking 22 years old), for most of the book they feel and act older than their age, which I enjoyed quite a lot. Hank is really determined to succeed in becoming the best fighter there is. He is fighting for what he wants and supports the people he loves. That's probably the reason he is my favorite male character in this story. He is quite mature for his age and his decisions are not not premature and irrational. I loved the struggle he experiences because of his feelings for Taryn. The way he is fighting them for the sake of his brother and best friend shows the strength of his character and that he values his loved ones above even his own desires. In a way that makes him even hotter in my eyes :) Not that he needs it , considering his pantie melting gaze and sizzling hot body ;)
In my opinion, Taryn is the perfect other half for Hank. She also has strong character and is determined to succeed in a field usually reserved for men. And it is definitely cool that she wants to be a professional fighter. I have to say that I admire the drive Taryn has and I think it makes her even more appealing as a character in the story.
Trevor and Mike, on the other hand, act quite irresponsible from time to time (at least in my opinion), especially in comparison to Hank. They feel quite immature for most of the story and I think it will be interesting to see what will happen with them in the next parts of the series. One thing I am sure of, is that they will be quite an interesting obstacle to overcome if Taryn and Hank still want to keep the relationship with them :)
The way the book finished is definitely frustrating and leaves you wanting more. In a way it has a small happy ending but at the same time it leaves the impression that Taryn and Hank still have quite a few things to overcome before they can have their HEA
In a few words, the story is great. The characters are well developed and the flow of the is consistent so don't wait any more and just #oneclick ;) I can guarantee that you won't regret it :)

I really don't know where to start. The Fight is the first book in this series. We meet Hank, his twin brother Trenton and his best friend Mike. They are thick as thieves them three. Then there is Taryn she is apart of their group in a way. I say this because when I first started reading the book I was shocked, jaw dropped. I mean we know 16 yr old boys right. We know 16 yr old girls and their emotions and how they feel hurt and betrayed by a boy they like. Yeah Hank he done all that in a matter of minutes.
Years pass and they are all grown up, young adults trying to find their place in the world. Hank he found his. It is called The Gage. He is a fighter, right along with his brother and best friend. They actually live together LOL!!! Now here is the part where I said Taryn was part of their group. She kept in contact with Trenton and Mike. Their friendship grew, she felt like they were brothers. She didn't know that each guy liked her and wanted her to be his.
You know how when you find something you really want and you talk yourself out of it in your head? Hank he does this. He tries to list the pro's and con's of being with Taryn. Taryn she be damned if Hank is going to look the other way. She wants him and only him. When they finally and I mean finally come to terms with each other's feelings we are left hanging. Now I don't mind a cliffhanger. It leaves me thinking of all sorts of things. But dang nabbitt.....I wanted to read about a fight LOL!! The book is called just that right? I want to know who is going to fight, how the fight is going to end, and who is going to pick who. Is the fight going to be in the ring? or is it going to be verbal? I have no clue. Right when you are on the edge of your seat waiting to find out, you fall flat on your ass left there on the floor stuck wondering "what in the world just happened?" Now my next question is when can I find out what happens next?
This is my 3rd read by T.H. Snyder and it only has gotten better. She has hot tattooed, pierced men who don't take shit from no one. Well done T.H well done.

Boy hates girl, girl loves boy, boy doesn't want to betray his friend but can stand away and all the while he's a hot fighter. Yes please I want more. I could not get enough of Hank Jones and I was left waiting!!!!
Hank Jones was a fighter from birth and he wants to be a champion but one thing he can not succeed is keeping his feelings for Taryn Morris locked away.
"I'm a fighter, a future champion; she will not come between me and my dreams."- Hank
He can not betray his twin brother Trenton or Best friend Michael who are in love with Tarryn. He training for the fight of his life but what he doesn't know is that the fight is not only in the ring because Tarryn is bring everything to the table to win Hank heart.
Tarryn from a young age she has loved Hank but Hank has done nothing but show her how much he hates her. But after graduating from College she comes home to a job and wants to train at her dads gym. But what she wants to hide from is Hank Jones. But after words said, pushing feeling away can these two really stay away while fighting feelings for each other and hiding those feelings from their loved ones around them.
T.H. Snyder writes Hank were you just want to punch him in his face and tell him what the hell is he doing. Tarryn loves him but he wants to spare his twins and best friends feelings. But she LOVES HIM!!! But he wants to be noble and have his head in the game. I get that but uhhhh!!! I just wanted him to give into her but will he fully give into her!
"She's consumed me and now... she's engraved in my mind forever."- Hank
I want can not wait for the next installment of Hank and Tarryn story because the fight is left in a big cliffy but will we get more of Michael and Trenton story I cant wait to read there's.

As soon as I started reading The Fight by T.H. Snyder I was hooked!! I couldn’t put it down and absolutely fell in love with the story. It will pull you in and you will not be able to fight it. The book is just wonderful. I loved the story line and all the characters in the book. I also enjoyed that everything flowed so brilliantly together. Everything about this book was just perfect.
In The Fight you will be introduced to three very amazing men, Hank, Mike & Trenton. I love each and everyone one of them. They all have their amazing qualities. So strong, loving, protective to those they love, and did I mention they are fighters. But the one you will fall in love with in the Fight is Hank. I loved him. He is such an amazing guy. I loved that in order to keep from hurting two of the most important people in his life he distanced himself from the one woman that he could love and spend forever with. I love his determination and his drive. He’s such an amazing man.
Then you have Taryn. I love that even though she’s done everything she can to ignore the pull she has towards Hank, she still admits her love for him. She is a fighter and never gives up once she realizes why Hank has been so distant towards her and has treated her so mean since they have known each other. I also loved that she is beginning training to fight and prove to everyone that even a woman can do it.
Taryn and Hanks relationship will take you on a whirlwind of emotions and you will find yourself SHOCKED by the ending. I am still reeling and want more. I am super anxious for the 2nd book. All I can say is that T.H. Snyder has hit this one out of the park, it’s a fun and sexy read that will leave you begging for more.

Complimentary copy provided by author for an honest review.
Wow, just wow!!! I devoured The Fight and can not wait for more. I have always enjoyed t.h. snyder's books, but this one, this has to be her best work yet. I was totally drawn into this story and couldn't put it down, and now I can't wait for the second book.
Hank, Trenton, and Mike are all best friends (Trenton and Hank are twins) and all work out together at the Cage. These three have been thick as thieves since they were little, and the only thing that could possibly tear them apart is Taryn Morris, the girl Mike and Trenton have been in love with since as long as they can remember, and Hank tries his best to ignore.
At first I really thought that Hank really hated Taryn, but getting more into the story, I understand why he treated her the way he did. Taryn loves Mike and Trenton, but as brothers, not how they would like for her to feel about them, she wants Hank, even though he is a total douche to her. Trust me when I say this though, you will definitely fall in love with Hank, I know I did!
I loved the dual POV's in this book! Getting inside both Hank and Taryn's head was amazing, and even though a few times you wanted to just smack Hank across the head for how he treated Taryn. The chemistry between these two is hot, and I want more of them NOW, it was just starting to get even hotter, and BAM! t.h. snyder did what she loves to do to us readers and left us waiting for the next book.
If you're looking for a hot, quick read, that will definitely leave you wanting more definitely pick up The Fight! This is one series I have a feeling that will be making it to my top series.. if only we had the second book now!

the Fight is Amazing! The story is very well written, the characters are well thought out and I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this story. The author has delivered the start of a must-read Series.
Taryn and Hank have known each other forever, thanks to the friendship between their dads. Taryn has always had a “thing” for Hank but Hank has never allowed himself to have an interest in her as his twin brother Trenton and his best friend Mike are both in love with her and have been since they were in high school, so he has stayed away from her and barely seen her in the 4 years since she has been away at college. After returning from college, she starts working and training at her dad’s MMA Gym “the Cage” which also trains Hank, Trenton and Mike for the upcoming fight season. Her dad gave her a job there on the sole basis that she does not become a distraction for the fighters and Taryn agrees to this condition.
When Hank sees Taryn for the first time in years, he is blown away and all of a sudden, he realises his attraction to her is far from a recent thing but decides not to act on out of respect for Trenton and Mike but Taryn wants Hank and she is not backing down.
Will Taryn get what she wants or is she wasting her time and better off picking Trenton or Mike?
The ending will leave you hanging in a good way and I cannot wait for the next book to see where Hank and Taryn’s story goes now.

The Fight is a new serial by t.h. snyder and the Queen of Cliffhangers has returned! Lance Jones also returns in his new role as Hank, MMA fighter.
In part one we are introduced to the characters who will continue to expand and be brought to life as the series continues. Major players? First and foremost, we meet Hank, on the road to MMA stardom and currently training for the fight of his life at The Cage. Trenton, Hank's brother, their best friend, Mike and Taryn the girl in the middle. The girl who Hank has made it his business to hate and Mike and Trenton follow like lost puppies. Six years after the turning point, Taryn returns home from college to begin the rest of her life. But life is what happens while we are making other plans. You can run forever from your past and the electricity between Hank and Taryn is palpable. Mike and Trenton jockey for position and wait for Taryn to just say yes. But why the tension between Hank and Taryn? Why the hate? Will these two be able to get along without killing each other? Is it just a distraction? Will the foursome friendship survive? Is it worth The Fight?
I should have suspected the Queen of Cliffhangers was going to torture me again! I dug my heels into this book and read with full fervor and th snyder enraptures you with her conflicts, attractions and hot hot scenes and BAM! Aaaaaaaaah now I'm (not so) patiently waiting for Part 2. I can't get enough and can't wait to see where this story goes!!❤️❤️

I was so excited for this new series by t.h. snyder. I love her work and in the past few months have really gotten into fighter books. She didn't disappoint! Hank, his twin, and their third best buddy have hung around together as long as they can remember getting into trouble in Brooklyn. His dad introduced him to fighting at The Cage at a young age and his love for the sport became his passion even after his dad wasn't around to share it. He knew what he was meant to do with his life and nothing will stand in his way of becoming a champion. Taryn has been around the boys forever as well. Family friends, school mates, and best friends growing up. Well with everyone but Hank. They never did get along. Now as adults will they make peace, make war, or will they just make out? Hank can't the afford distractions that Taryn brings to his life. Taryn can't afford to mess up the friendships and responsibility she is working so hard to prove. What will happen when desire and emotions overcome all those sound choices and sacrifices? Pick up a copy today and find out so you don't miss the fireworks! This is the first book in the series and I can't wait for the next part of the story that picks up with Mike.

Three best friends growing up together.
One girl captures their hearts from childhood.
Can they all love the same girl?
Hank Jones is a fighter. He does two things, work and train. The Cage is his home. He finds solace in the sounds and smells as he trains for the fight of his life. But will it be inside the ring? Or a battle of his heart?
Taryn Morris has want every woman wants - two men vying for her love and affection. They have all been friends since childhood and she views them as brothers, not lovers. There is one man she wants, but he despises her. How can she feel for someone who has ignored her for years?
t.h. Snyder is an evil genius. The first in a serial series, the Fight, is her best work to date. It shows emotion and depth in her characters. Even though it is not a full length novel, these characters are better developed and she has woven their lives together in a seamless manner.
The scene is a fast paced gym, where everyone has been connected for years. Where everyone has watched these young friends grow up, and can see what they have yet to learn.
I anxiously await for the next installment, wondering what will happen between Taryn, Hank, his twin Trenton, and their friend Mike. All four life long friends, but will love shake up their friendship?

Wow this was the perfect short read. I loved it the hate /love relationship was beyond awesome. You could feel the chemistry between these two characters so much. I can't wait for more I love this author I think she is beautiful inside and out. And love the way she writes. Even her short stories keep you intrigued . And having a visual of who your muse was makes the story even better.

She really tries to move on and forget about the one and she goes away to college. But stays in contact with Trenton and Mike who she knows cares more than they should. Well things change and she see's him again Hank is this arrogant guy to her. She has never understood why he treats her this way. But there not being around each other changes. And intense feelings arise but what can you do with everything when it can never be. So go ahead and get the book. I can't wait for more.

No matter how much you love someone, you have to set them free, if it was meant to be, they come back. You always want what you can't have. You don't know what you've got until it's gone. It is what it is. "BOOM" that about sums it up. Haha, just kidding, no really.
Honesty is the key ingredient to love, without it, you have hate, or so called hate. Chemistry is almost just important as honesty, it will confuse you without the honesty, but add the honesty, and "KABLAM" you have the 4th of July.
Mike and Trenton have this unbelievable love triangle (without the sex) going on with Tayrn, the only problem, Taryn feels like they are more like brothers than boyfriend material. Her heart has and always will belong to Hank, Trenton's twin brother. The only problem, Hank hates her, he can't stand to be around her, he thinks she's a tease, leading his brother and best friend on.
T.H. Snyder's books keep getting better. It's amazing how much emotion she can put in writing. She keeps you begging for more. I'm excited for the Battle and the Win. Bring them on lady, bring them on!
