Anne Holton is determined not to live under the influence of her parents' money and standing in society. She is using her degree in social work to try to make changes in the lives of the less fortunate. Senator Blane Kirk seems like the kind of person she is trying to avoid in her life, but when he comes to her rescue after she spills water on him and then at a charity fashion show, Anne can't help but be mesmerized by his charm and physical presence. Blane is on the fast track for a Presidential nomination, and Anne has no desire to be first lady, but she is thrown back into his path as evidence points to Blane as her brother's killer.

Fight for Me is wildly disappointing. I really enjoyed the Kathleen Turner series and was happy to discover that this book is Blane's story, but the over the top dramatics and ridiculous action sequences make this book impossible to find entertaining. Multiple plot elements that might have worked well in a 500 page book are crammed into 280 pages. The motivations of many of the characters are never explained and the love story is not at all believable. Overall, Fight for Me has the bones of a good story with extremely weak execution. ( )
