Holy cow!

Ana and Kane have an intense, whirlwind, emotional story. This book grabs you and doesn’t let go until the final scene. I love their dynamic, their banter and their connection.

I voluntarily read an advanced copy.

I am absolutely loving this series! Kane and Ana are great characters and I loved their path to HEA. Poor Kane made me want to shake him. I love that even though the female characters in these books are in trouble, they are still tough. The romance is steamy. The action is suspense packed. There's the perfect amount of humor. And the end left me laughing and looking forward to Grayson finally getting a taste of his own medicine.

When He Fights is a Defender and Protector Series book by Cynthia Eden. Number three in the series, it is a case where the main characters have met in the prologue but then two years go by before they are reunited. Ana Patrick has a new life thanks to the witness protection program but the killer that Kane Harte first rescued Ana from has escaped from prison. Now he is back on the case. The chemistry between these two is combustible and the danger is beyond scary.

The villain is a true monster who is determined to extract vengeance on Ana. Someone will die and he plans on one being Ana. It takes Kane and associates to work together to bring this case to conclusion. All three are protectors but Ana is a tough character too. An exciting rollercoaster story from the beginning. Be aware there is recurrent bad language also with open bedroom door scenes.

One thing’s for sure: once you start reading Cynthia Eden’s books, it’s impossible to stop! They’re addictive, action-packed, with just the right amount of humor, charismatic characters, well-balanced tension, and of course, spicy scenes that will definitely make you blush. And this book is no exception… well, maybe just a little bit, thanks to Kane! 🫦

Out of all the characters I’ve met from the author, Kane is without a doubt the most… obsessive! 😅👀 Yes, he definitely has stalker tendencies, but somehow Cynthia Eden makes it work! He’s intense, fiercely protective, and absolutely relentless when it comes to Ana. He’s the kind of character that makes you question your sanity while you’re swooning over him. 😅😈

Ana, on the other hand, is amazing, a strong, smart heroine with a fierce attitude who refuses to be intimidated. The chemistry between them is explosive! The banter is on point, the emotional tension is real, and the steamy scenes… well, just be ready. 🔥

Beyond the main couple, two secondary characters really caught my attention: Gray and Emerson. I’m more than ready to dive into their story and I have a feeling it’s going to be even more intense!

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

Loved Ana and how she didn't cave when surrounded by danger and then lost love. She is awesome that when Kane came back into her life, she was not an easy win for him!!

There was so much danger, drama, intrigue, and action that I could not put the book down and had to keep reading to see what happened next.

Loved that we got a glimpse of Emerson and Gray and they are the next story - what a hint of the chemistry between them and now I can't wait for their book to come out!

This is a great series of books but they can be read as stand alone and glad to see Tyler from the first book got a part in their story!

Heartless....

Kane is anything but heartless when it comes to Ana.
Kane was her bodyguard for a month, while he was protecting her from her homicidal ex, Logan Catalano, a mob hitman. Logan almost got Ana but Kane saved her at the last minute then let her go to her new life as Ana after she testified against Logan. The deal was she would never see Kane again (even if she fell in love with him in that month) and if she did, she was in deep, deep trouble. Meaning, Logan would come for her again.

After a prison break, Ana is on the straight to Kane. Because Kane has never been far behind, always watching her.
Holy moly, Kane is the anti-hero I want watching my six. He's massive everywhere and hyper focused on Ana. Yeah. I think I'd keep him, too.

He's possessive, a protective tank, and determined to keep Ana, cuz he gave her up once and he is never doing that again. He is going to keep her safe and keep her.
Period.
Highly recommend for a steamy, fast paced wild ride.

Steamy Adventure!!

Kane has to be the baddest hero I’ve read by this author and that’s saying something.

Anastasia has been in hiding for two years. When she ends up in danger Kane is there in a heartbeat.
With her signature humor and banter between characters this is a definite winner!!

Twisted and super suspenseful this one will keep you on edge.

“I know exactly what you are, Kane Harte. I just wish you knew, too. Do me a major favor? Stop seeing yourself as the villain.
