When I find out the hard-bodied, tattooed god from the gym lives down the hall from me you’d think I’d be thrilled, right?
Um, how about not.
Heath Noble, construction project manager, MMA fighter and resident hottie, seemed charming at first. But after introducing myself, it was all goodbye Mr. Nice Guy, hello Sir Jerkface.
I don’t know what his problem is but guys who look like him are usually jackholes anyway, so I’m out.
Except he won’t let me be out.
Now I'm sure he's hitting on me and I'm as confused as ever.
But I know people and I'm not fooled.
I've got to find out what his game is before the line between my suspicion and my attraction to him becomes blurred and I do something stupid like fall for him.
Because I’ve done stupid before and I’ve only ended up getting hurt.

The minute I find out who Laney Kyle is I want her to pay for what the Kyles have put my family through.
I'm only here to get my brother out from under the Kyle's hold by fighting in an underground ring run by her family. And if I can take all the Kyles down while I'm at it, well, so much the better.
But I have to be smooth. And believe me, I’m all about being smooth.
Or so I thought.
She’s got me so tangled up I’m not sure what I’m doing anymore.
And by the time I realize she’s an innocent bystander, I know I’ve lost her.
Now I’m going to get her back.
But she’s not giving me the chance.
~~
Two people plus one apartment building equals one big messy situation.
And love, as usual, will just make everything messier.
Welcome to the High Rise where tenants get a new lease on love...

Sonja's Review
As soon as The Fighter hit my kindle, I started reading it! It has just been too long since I've read Harper Bentley and I can't tell you how awesome it was to read her again. The Fighter was absolutely fantastic and I positively loooved it!
Laney is such a fun heroine! She has that kind of luck where if you don't want something to happen to you, it probably will - she's a good sport about it though. Laney is honest, down-to-earth, sassy, and sweet - I just loved her!
And of course, I loved Heath too! It's true that he can be a total jerkface just like Laney says and he'll make your jaw drop and be all like, "Oh no, he didn't!" but he's actually a really great guy, so I could never stay mad at him or hate him. Heath definitely has his alpha he-man moments - which I loved - but he's also so sweet and sometimes he says the most perfect thing that will having you aww-ing and sighing. He's a great hero and I completely loved him!
The Fighter is a funny, light, sexy read that had me laughing and smiling pretty much the whole time! It made me melt and sigh and gasp in shock and mostly mock outrage. I just had such a wonderful time reading this book and I'm so excited for the next book in The High Rise series!
The Fighter is a standalone, it's told from Heath and Laney's POV, and they do get a happy ending that made me "Awww!" and grin!
