Finding My Fight
A perfect marriage? A beautiful home? Things are not always as they seem.
To everyone they knew, Ginny’s life with Blake Daniels was perfect. When Blake’s job takes them away from home and the friends Ginny has known since childhood, things start to change. On their own, in an isolated house, the man who held Ginny up through her mother’s passing is no longer the kind, supportive man she thought she’d married. In his place now resides a cruel beast whose only desire is to control her. Ginny’s life as she knows it, becomes indelibly marked with every bruise he leaves on her, and every callous word he sends her way.
When the unthinkable happens, Ginny is forced to find the strength she needs to leave and rebuild her life without Blake. Yet nothing could have prepared her for what was still to come. Ginny believed the nightmare was over, but it was only just beginning. Her husband is back, and there’s only one reason he’s here.
For her.

This story was amazing I mean just amazing! This is the first book I have read by Corr and it will not be the last. Right from page one I was captured and brought into the life of a married couple that was happy and living the dream. Ginny and Blake have a great marriage and a beautiful home. They have friends they share their life with and life is perfect. That is until one day Ginny's life is changed.
Blake gets a job promotion that has them moving from their home town to another town. That is when loving, sweet Blake changes. He turns into this controlling abusive monster. He abuses Ginny both mentally and physically and Ginny decides she will leave him. Something happens and Blake does something to Ginny and she leaves him.
As Ginny is starting her new life she is excited to see what is in store for her. Ginny was glad to start her life over until she found out Blake is back and he wants her. He will stop at nothing to get her back but she is determined to stay away from him at any cost.
What will Blake do to get Ginny back? Will he finally kill her or will he walk away from her and leave her alone? This is a must read heartbreaking story that is dark and somber.

Un historia fuerte que al principio pensé que iba a terminar de una manera completamente distinta pero que la verdad ese final me pareció el adecuado aquel, Nate se ha robado mi corazón 🥺😍❤️

La verdad es que tengo que reconocer que Finding My Fight no fue lo que esperaba. Me la vendieron como una historia dura y oscura, y yo estaba preparada para llorar y enfadarme, sin embargo, me encontre con una historia muy diferente.
En mi opinion, la novela es un quiero y no puedo, habia mucho potencial pero en el desarrollo todo falla, la trama se vuelve repetitiva y sin emocion. Y con los protagonistas pasa algo similar, debido a sus vivencias los esperaba mas profundos, no obstante, quedan bastante planos y basicos.
Y no me hagan hablar de ese " romance ", aun sigo pensando en que momento se dio, los personajes apenas se conocen y ya me quieren vender que son almas gemelas, ni me convencio ni me lo crei.
Si soy honesta, Finding My Fight esta mas cerca de las dos estrellas y media pero como estoy en un dia generoso le voy a dar tres, puede que no sea un problema del libro en si, sino que me la recomendaron con una idea equivocada, fuera lo que fuera, no me convencio.
En fin, no descarto volver a leer algo mas de la autora, su pluma no esta mal, pero definitivamente mi primera experiencia con ella no fue lo que espere.
2.75 Estrellas!

Sometimes you just don't know where to start with a review, sometimes you want to take some time out to think about what you just read.. but do you know what, no timeout will help get me over this book. I dont think I've read a story that literally nearly stop my heart ... to the point where I almost couldn't breathe... before, or certainly not for a long time!
This was perfect in every way - a depth of fear that really took you to the place where Ginny was at, hope clawing its way through to see a future for her, then despair that all wasn't quite as it seemed and Blake really wouldn't let her go. This certainly made for a rollercoaster of a read, with enough angst to keep you turning page after page.
First read of RG Corr for me and it certainly won't be my last !!

WOW!! This book!!! I had to take a little moment before I could string a sentence together after finishing Finding My Fight by RG Corr. I was speechless.
I was taken on this emotionally charged journey with Ginny and Nate and I was just utterly captivated from the very beginning. I was distraught, I was broken and I was healed! Ginny is pretty incredible. Nate is....well let's just say I want more of Nate!
RG Corr has this incredible way of drawing you in with her words. She held me hostage, I literally couldn't put this book down. It was heartbreaking, it was raw, it was emotional, it was beautiful, it was captivating, it was SENSATIONAL! Definitely in my Top 10! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Wow, this is one hell of a captivating story, it drew me in, shattered my heart, then RG Corr pieced me slowly back together. What an emotional journey, it utterly gripped me from the first chapter.
Unlike some books where you have to detach yourself from reality and just enjoy it for what it is, Finding My Fight was so real, the emotions were so powerful for me, they poured off the pages. I was there every step of Ginnys journey with her. At times it was incredibly difficult, but sadly this stuff happens in real life and I needed to be there until the end.
This is a story of one woman’s fight to break free from her abusive husband, to move on and learn to live again. I felt every moment of her guilt, pain, anguish, fear and self-hatred, and then the little slithers of peace and happiness that started to appear and gain strength. It is a gut-wrenching, emotional, heart-breaking story but also one of hope too and of this woman's immense inner strength to learn that there is life after abuse and that it was never, ever her fault.
Interwoven with all this, there is a story of love at it's heart. Nate is a beautiful soul who has been through his own heartache, but when he sees Ginny he knows what he should do, but he can't bring himself to stay away. He holds a few secrets too and if Ginny were to find out, he's afraid they would break her completely, when all he wants to do is make her whole.
Beautifully written, this is the first book I've read by this author and I cant recommend it enough. The feelings it has invoked are going to stay with me for a long time and if I could give it more than five stars, I would.

I devoured this book. From the very first page it hooked me.
My heart broke for Ginny and all that she was going through. The pain and suffering that she has encountered makes for some emotional reading.
Then when Nate comes along we endure his turmoil as well.
I don’t want to give away any spoilers so all I am going to say is that, if you read any book this year then let it be this one.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and it certainly won’t be the last. Truly breathtaking.

This was my first read by this author and oh boy, what a book to start with. There are some triggers in this - I know some people like to know that. (If you ask then I'll let you know, though you may be able to guess).
Ginny lives a life of hell with her husband Blake. Events take a turn just when she needs it the most, and she finally has the escape she been looking for. On returning home to her friends - she has no family left - she feels like she can finally catch a break. People are willing to help her recover, but then her past comes back to haunt her...
Corr's writing is addictive - I found this book to be unputdownable (when I had chance to read!). Having been a young observer of one of the subjects in this book, you really know she has taken the time to do her research. Everything she writes is completely believable. A breathtaking read and one I would definitely recommend.

I found Ginny frustrating and Nate creepy, their thought process unreasonable. Only character I liked was Marci, even though she didn't call the police on Blake as a logical person and she was forcing a vulnerable person out of her comfort zone too soon. Though she seemed like an assertive person who is good at forcing passive individuals like Ginny who clearly needs to do be forced into doing things that are actually good for them, ironically she didn't force Ginny into therapy or to report the abuse. There was a lot of forced conflicts in the novel, which were plainly unnecessary like the part where Ginny makes the classical mistake of thinking that the romantic lead was cheating on her. And there was no need for Nate to not tell Ginny that he was taking care of his niece or that his brother and sister-in-law passed away. I felt the character Nate itself was unnecessary. The chemistry between the two leads was forced. It would have been better if Ginny was romantically paired up with either Marci or Liam. The romance plot itself was unnecessary. Another thing I had problem with was the time frame. Eight months isn't enough time for an abused person to recover and move on, neither is five months, everything seemed too much too fast. I felt that the abuse and trauma became simply backdrop to the underwhelming romance. Nate was at times downright creepy and entirely unlikely for someone like Ginny. Only thing I liked about Ginny was that she was not petty. The story had potential which the author failed to deliver.

This is the first book by this author I have read and after finishing it, it won’t be my last.
I feel like my words won’t justify my feelings for this book, but I’m going to try anyway.
THIS. BOOK. BROKE. ME!
The story had me from page 1, I was hooked and I couldn’t put it down. I ignored the world around me so I could sit and read this book as heartbreaking as it was. The author pulled me into the story and I was constantly in the edge of my seat afraid to read in but knowing I had to because I needed to know what would happen to Ginny and if she would ever escape her abusive husband.
I cried multiple times while reading parts of the story, it’s so dark and breaks your heart.
This story will stay with me for a long time. It’s been hours since I’ve finished it and I still keep thinking about it.
It is one of my top reads of 2018, and I can not recommend it enough to everyone!

From an outsider looking it would appear that Ginny had the perfect life, a beautiful home, a handsome husband, and a seemingly happy marriage, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Within a few weeks after the wedding bells rang, things in Ginny's life started to take a downward turn, her perfect husband had a dark side she never knew existed, and it was starting to make an appearance. He would come home angry and take it out on her, often leaving her battered and bruised and completely rattled. Him leaving bruises was a way to remind her that he was always in control of every move she made and every breath she took. He made sure to keep her away from her friends, and with no family to speak of, it was perfect way for him to stay in control and keep the abuse hidden.
A once happy, well adjusted woman was now becoming a shell of the person she once was, and she constantly wondered when the abuse would go too far... when would it be the end of her? Riddled with fear Ginny struggles to find the courage to reach out to friends and ask for help, but how much more of this can her body handle. She knows she needs to do something, or she might not make it out alive...
Finding My Fight is a haunting portrayal of one woman's struggle to escape an abusive husband and find herself and her happiness again. This dark, heart-wrenching tale will seep into your soul and leave your emotions raw and and you on edge. From one page to the next I was teetering on the edge of my seat in fear for her, and constantly praying she'd find a way out of the miserable life she was stuck in. I must say this first time not only impressed, but left me rattled in the best possible way, it was a harrowing tale that inspired, and kept me captivated from start to finish. Highly recommend!
I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion.

I honestly have no idea how to put my thoughts on to paper for this review!
It’s taken me a few days to process my thoughts enough to attempt this review. Even now I’m not sure that my review is actually going to do this book the justice it deserves!
It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of R.G, I devoured her other two books and have been waiting eagerly for her next book. When I was offered the chance to read this as an ARC I jumped at it.
Finding My Fight is powerful, emotional and addictive. The book captured my attention immediately and the more I read the more I became lost in the pages and the story that was unfolding.
Finding My Fight deals with a sensitive subject but R.G has written it extremely well and with considerable care, making it a very emotional and unputdownable read.
The characters are well thought out and they each play key roles throughout the story. No one is portrayed to be perfect, everyone has flaws and that makes each one more endearing. These characters have managed to climb their way into my heart and will remain there for a very long time. It’s so easy to love these characters.
R.G’s writing style is as epic as I remembered. R.G has created Ginny and Nate’s world seamlessly. Her writing style grabs a hold of your attention and pulls you right into their world and keeps you there until the very end, even then getting to the end will not sever the ties between them and you. The emotion that R.G has put into her writing is palpable and it will take you on a roller coaster ride that you will not want to get off of!
I waited patiently for this book and now I’ve read it I’m not ready for it to be over!
If you want an emotional roller coaster ride that will tug at your heartstrings, then I cannot recommend this book enough!
I’m not going to lie this book broke me!

I waited so patiently for this book to be written. I knew Ginny’s story would be unforgettable. I just didn’t know how much. It’s now several days later after I read the epilogue and I’m still processing! Finding My Fight is an indelible read of one woman’s fall to finding her way to that place where she fights to climb back up and out and when she does her strength is undeniable.
Ginny thought she married the man of her dreams. When her rose colored glasses were brutally taken off, Ginny finds herself in world of pain and disillusionment. The day she finds her courage to walk through a special set of doors, Ginny finds herself thrust on a path that’s even scarier than the on she was on. On that fateful day, Noah noticed her and found Ginny unforgettable soul. Fate rolled the dice and Ginny and Noah’s destiny becomes intricately entwined.
Ginny and Noah’s story is unforgettable for several reasons. The first is the author’s brilliant handling of Ginny’s pain so many women endure unfortunately on a daily basis. The visceral reactions I found myself holding tightly in order not to blubber like a baby was just all too real. Consequently, this leads to the other reason for book’s brilliance, the author delves into the feelings and the certain reality of the world of “after”. The trifecta of the book’s aching achievement is the beauty of Noah, his patience and his love for Sophia. Man was my heart stitched back together in the epilogue and thank goodness!
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Finding My Fight is one book I can certainly guarantee will be your next book love.

Definitely worth the read !!!
I don’t usually give 5 stars - but this book is so worth each one.
This isn’t my kind of book - I’m used to sexy alpha bad boys. But I wouldn’t change a thing about this book. This wonderful story. That I recon had happened to a large number of women.
I even started to get chocked up on emotions and had to swipe my eyes a few times
There’s twists and turns but I think it kept me on my toes. I couldn’t put it down.
This story is about abuse from the one person your suppose to trust and feel safe. It’s about a man who is controlling and hurtful - not just words or actions but with physical and mental abuse.
It’s about a woman seeking comfort and security from someone else. About standing up and fighting back the only way she can - leaving him.
It’s also about a mans loss of family and love to find it on the last person he thought he would.
It didn’t end how I thought it would which I’m not sure how I feel about. I think I’d like to read how I though it would go but then I wouldn’t get to see how strong she is even after being beaten down and second guessing everything.
It must have been painful doing research on this topic. On knowing that these situations happen. On average 2 women a week are killed from partners or ex partners. Over a million a year suffer from domestic abuse.
This was so expertly written. I loved it all. And I can’t wait to read more from this author. Thank you for sharing that there are people out there that will and can help. That they are not alon

It’s no secret i adore this author and i love her work but this book blew me away, so much so it’s took me a full 24 hours to be able to write this review.
From the very first page i was hooked, but i also knew that this story wasnt going to be all sunshine and unicorns. No this story was going to be so much more, i could already feel the sorrow and anger seeping out of me AND THAT WAS JUST CHAPTER ONE! Simply put this book is Heartwrenchingly amazing!
Ginny, man my heart broke for Ginny, silent tears were running down my cheeks before i even knew i was crying. What this character goes through in this book is equally heartwrenching and inspiring.
Nate, wow so much love for this guy, he isn’t without flaws but to me the flaws made him even more appealing. Kind, gentle, patient these are just a few words i would use to describe him but there are so many more i could list!
I wont say what happens, i wont spoil it for you BUT i will say that everyone needs to read it. For me this is by far the story that stands out from all the others i’ve had the pleasure of reading in 2018.
A well deserved 5*
From the very first page i was hooked, but i also knew that this story wasnt going to be all sunshine and unicorns. No this story was going to be so much more, i could already feel the sorrow and anger seeping out of me AND THAT WAS JUST CHAPTER ONE! Simply put this book is Heartwrenchingly amazing!

I’ve tried to write my review of this book a couple of times and have struggled to find the words. Whatever I write I honestly don’t think will do this book justice it really is that good.
From the first page Ginny’s story pulls you in, grabs a hold of your heart and squeezes until tears pour from your eyes. I knew from the start that due to the subject covered it would be a tough story to read and it is but it’s written really well. You instantly connect to and love Ginny, then Nate as well and you are routing for them both all the way through. Theirs isn’t a typical love story but it’s one that’s real and filled with bumps and problems throughout.
“Sometimes we have to face a fight we can’t ever imagine encountering. It can be forced upon you. Life can treat you with unkindness. If you’re lucky, some gentle hands will be present to help ease the pain.”
This book is such an emotional read that it stays with you long after you close the last page. I don’t think I have read a book before that has touched me quiet as much as this one did so much so I have read it twice already.
All I can say to anyone thinking of reading this book is do it!

I can honestly say that this book will be one of my favourite reads of the year.... of all time actually. I absolutely loved each and every page of this outstanding story. The author has written this book about domestic abuse so perfectly, that I felt every single emotion as I read Ginny's story.
It's not an easy book to read because of the subject matter. It's angsty and emotional but I just couldn't put it down, well apart from having to step away and take a breather. Your heart will break a few times of that I'm certain, so make sure the tissues are to hand.
I know I can't find the words in this review to do the book justice. I want to gush about this amazing book and talk about it with you all but I won't, because you really need to go in blind and experience this roller coaster of an emotional journey not knowing a thing about it. I will say that this book needs to be read. Ginny and Nate's stories are there for you all to read and enjoy. It has ticked every box that I ask for as a reader to make this a 5 star plus read. It will stay with me for a very long time.

Finding My Fight - R.G. Corr
I was lucky enough to have had the opportunity to read this book very early and can’t thank R.G.Corr enough for the privilege.
This book is one of those stories that you’ll read and feel like you’ve just lived a hundred lifetimes in Ginny’s shoes.
Such a profound story with so many emotions, tackling a difficult but very relevant topic of domestic violence.
Ginny’s story is one of perseverance, stamina, inner strength and of course resilience. Ginny will have you feeling every emotionally charged moment of her story, sharing with you her personal highs and lows and her deepest feelings for her friends.
I’ve deliberately left any kind of spoiler out of this review as it’s a book that needs to be read to truly appreciate the gravity of what R.G.Corr has written. She has taken the most highly charged topic and created a story that will take the reader through the gamut of emotions on the way to ...... well you’ll just have to read it to appreciate it.
Definitely on my top 10 reads of 2018.

OMG....This Book....This Book is so freaking good. How do you write a review that would do this book justice without revealing too much?!?! I will just start with saying that I HIGHLY recommend that you one click this one now. This is one of the best reads this year for me.
I knew from the very first page that I was going to love this book. Ginny's story is so emotionally charged and so real to life that I found myself so consumed with her story. I felt her hurt, betrayal, pain, anger, and fear. The suspense, the twist and turns had me on the edge of my seat turning page after page until the very end. It's been a while since I've read a book that has wrecked me the way that this one has. This is such a powerful story and so worth the read!! I am so glad that I came across this book and author.
This new to me author has won this girl over. I loved everything about her writing and I'm looking forward to reading more of her books.
Happy Reading Everyone!!!

I was lucky enough to read this book early!
Finding My Fight is a highly emotional read and I cried on more than one occasion. This is a very tough subject to write about and the author has done an outstanding job! I was there with Ginny experiencing her pain and fear, and I was so angry that I wanted to murder her husband!
“My smile no longer presents itself freely. It’s displayed as an act. A performance.”
This story is full of lump in the throat, heart wrenching moments! I thought I had it figured out and that I knew what was about to happen. How wrong was I? There were times when the story totally twisted and then I was second guessing everything!
I recommend going into this one blind, don’t read reviews, don’t guess the outcome because you won’t have a clue!
Utterly amazing! This is what I like to call a ‘WOW book’, everyone needs to experience it. Even if you don’t usually read this kind of story, make an exception you won’t be sorry!
Five stars!

Having read two other books by the author and being a massive fan, there was never any doubt about me reading this one especially after the blurb I just wish I could give more than 5 stars. This is a highly emotional read and I silently cried on a few occasions throughout. Ginny’s story is one that will show both sides..... hers and others looking in, the turmoil, guilt, feelings of unworthiness, helplessness, hate, bravery, strength and WILL because you need that to SURVIVE are some of the emotions you will feel. This is a very tough subject to write about and I feel the author has done an amazing job, you feel as though you are there throughout her journey but you can't help her and it may break you...….. but you can walk away, some never do. I really hope if you read this story it gives you the strength you need whatever the circumstances, this will certainly stay with me.

Finding My Fight by RG Corr is a story that captivated me from the beginning. I read the book in one sitting and I had more than one what???? moment.
Meet Ginny Daniels. She's married to Blake and their life was a good one till they moved away from home and friends. He changed and became a cruel monster. And Ginny endured. She endured him, his abuse and his violence. When she breaks free, she's still trapped without knowing it.
And then there's Nate Dawson. He's a good guy, but he has his own issues and hides secrets that threaten to destroy her, literally.
Finding My Fight is a raw and gritty read with unexpected twists and turns, a captivating story well written and told. I loved the story and the characters, my heart was bleeding for them, till the very unexpected end, kind of hea. I give 4,5 stars.

Reviewed on http://bookaddict.live,
Well the first thing I have to say is My God What A Book, I’m still trying to calm down. This is not a pretty romance, for most of it the heroine was suffering at first physically and then what seemed worst mentally. R.G Corr’s attention to detail when approaching the subject is superb carrying the reader all through the story and Ginny’s circumstances, leaving me feeling the fear and the feelings of hopelessness with her.
All in all, I think this was a story of hope, but with realism because anyone going through what Ginny went through wouldn’t heal overnight and them walk into the sunset with a new man. That’s all I’m saying I’m trying not to add any spoilers.
I would like a Nate waiting for me, giving Ginny hope for the future. A superb and realistic story of Ginny and Nates family recovering and having a positive outcome

Finding My Fight is the first book that I have read by this author. It is a standalone book.
Wow! What can I say…. I am at a loss for words. This must have been a tough book to write because this was a tough story to read. The reason I say that is because Ginny had been in an abusive marriage and “When the unthinkable happens” she has to try and rebuild her life. She meets Nate.
Nate has a big secret and once she finds out about the secret it just might destroy her. I won't tell what happens for that you will just have to read this book.
Finding My Fight isn’t the usual type of book that I like to read. This was a heavy book to read. A book filled with emotion while reading it. But, it was so worth it and I am glad that I read Ginny’s story.
I will be looking to read more books by this author. Although, I do hope for a little lighter read!

I finished this book last night and I am still thinking about it today! This book has had me through a whole gamut of emotions, tissues were needed at times along with wine, chocolate and pulling of big girl pants up to finish this book. But it was all worth it.
Ginny's story at times, is not an easy one to read, it is heartbreaking but amazing! When she meets Nate I was not expecting that at all! Plot twist! My heart broke for them both.
I highly recommend this book. I feel my words have not done this book justice, without giving spoilers (and I never do that!) but you really need to read it.

This book made me experience many emotions and I found it hard to put down once I started reading. It made me cry ugly, which is a good thing because it shows the author knows her craft. I felt I was right there with Ginny every step of the way. Her story is very real and experienced by many women, and men. It has you wanting to take her by the hand and lead her away from all the terrible experiences she goes through. The subjects covered in this book resonated with me because I have worked with victims of domestic abuse in the past and she got everything spot on.
This is the third book I’ve read by the author; whose work just keeps getting better. Looking forward to reading more from her.
