About this listen
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.

"The Love You Fight For" by Brit Benson is a gripping, emotional rollercoaster that had me hooked from the start. Even though I didn't read the original duet, Brit Benson does a fantastic job of weaving in just enough background to keep me in the loop without making it feel like a rehash for those familiar with the earlier books. While some reviewers suggest reading those first for a richer experience, I didn't feel lost at all.
Chris is the ultimate book boyfriend—a strong cinnamon roll who can cook and does AMAZING things with his tongue. He’s tattooed, pierced (in all right places ;) ), and ready to give everything to win over Sam, our fierce FMC with serious black cat energy. Sam appears as a strong, ice queen on the outside, but inside, she's lonely and a bit broken. Watching Chris break down her walls with his actions and words to give her something she’s never had—a true, loving relationship—is both heartwarming and intense.
The opposites-attract dynamic between Chris and Sam is electric. Chris’s cinnamon roll sweetness mixed with his dark, sultry edge makes him irresistible. And Sam? She’s a badass, someone you'd love to grab a beer with. Their journey to a happy ever after is filled with dark, emotional moments balanced with light, heartfelt scenes. The cabin on a lake setting provided the perfect backdrop for their story, adding a touch of serene beauty to their intense romance.
The narration was TOP NOTCH from both of them. Desiree Ketchum is yet to deliver a bad performance that I've heard - her ability to embody her characters are incredible and I always love her pace and acting choices. Austin Stone was new to me and oh. my. word. did he SMASH this out of the park! His ability to switch from light and airy to gravelly and sultry was perfect, bringing Chris and Sam's story to life in the most vivid way. His social media interactions are just as refreshing and engaging as his narration.
Top notch narration and a fabulous story.

Thanks to the author, Brit Benson, and the team at HomeCooked Books for providing me with an advanced audio review copy of this book. All opinions provided in this review are my own.
The Love You Fight For is book 3 in the “Next Life” Series. It is a standalone, but it is still recommended to read the books in order. However, I didn’t. In fact, I haven’t read the first 2 books in the series, and I did not find myself lost whilst reading this book. I was able to follow along just fine.
The Love You Fight For follows our FMC Samatha Harper, and our MMC Chris Casper. To the outside world Sam’s life is perfect. She is seen to be living the dream, and is viewed in their small-town as royalty; Her father is a state senator, she is wealthy, and lives a posh lifestyle. However, underneath the surface and the glitz and glam, lies a darker, and more painful past. She holds her secrets close to her, not letting anyone in close, not even her best friend. She has been through so much, yet is so strong, as she prepares for one of the biggest moments of her life; her father is seeking to further his political career but Samatha has other plans for him. Meanwhile, Chris is the patient, loving, and handsome perfect match for Sam. He would do anything for her and I just love how thoughtful he is towards her.
Without giving too much away, I really enjoyed this book. It dealt with some serious topics, whilst still managing to be entertaining, fun, and romantic. In fact, the romance was just so swoon! 💕
Narration done by Desiree Ketchum and Austin Stone, they both captured Sam and Chris perfectly. Their performances were just 🤌 💋 🔥 The emotions were all there, and it was so beautiful to listen to. Overall, they brought the characters and the story to life wonderfully.
4.5 Stars!

Chris is the man that any woman would be lucky to have in her life. He is sweet, sexy, supportive and determined to show her that she can count on him for anything with no expectations in return. He sees the woman she is and knows that she is special and isn’t about to let her past or her reservations come between them.
Even though they live very different lifestyles and have very different personalities Samantha and Chris are perfect for each other in every way. The pacing of the narrators was perfect as they take us on an angst and love filled journey that shows you what being soul mates really means.
Samantha and Chris!
