The One You Fight For: another great book in The Ones Who Got Away series

The One You Fight For by Roni Loren is the third book in The Ones Who Got Away series. In this story, we get Taryn Landry’s story as she is determined to find the reason behind school shootings and prevent them from ever happening again. Not only was she there that night at the Long Acre prom when two teenage boys came in and started shooting, Everyone knows she also lost her younger sister that night, but no one knows that it was her fault. Shaw Miller has spent the years since the shooting dealing with the fallout of his younger brother’s tragic actions. After losing everything, his chance at the Olympics, his family and almost his sanity, he changed his name, his look and started a new life where he lives by one rule: Never look back. Shaw and Taryn weren’t meant to meet. They weren’t meant to be attracted to each other, But as they give in to their undeniable attraction, they are both wondering, hoping that even when the world defines you by a tragedy, can you have a happy ending? 

The One You Fight For takes another facet of a tragedy and presents it in a real, heart wrenching way. It follows the same hard hitting, in your face reality of those who live with regrets, pain and the fight to move forward. Taryn and Shaw both have guilt, a part to play in the tragedy and feel undue responsibility for that part as they try to live life in the aftermath. It is a story of love, loss, lies, redemption and the search for a happily ever after. Mixed in with the sorrow and pain, there is laughter, teasing and other lighter moments. I enjoyed Taryn’s drive to find the answers and to develop a program to make sure it doesn’t happen again. I also enjoyed Shaw’s vulnerability as he takes on the bad family label and tries to disappear into the shadows. I loved that Ms. Loren takes on the task to show that the reasons behind such tragedies aren't so cut and dry. I loved this book and it is a great addition to the series. I highly recommend The One You Fight For. 

The One You Fight For is available in paperback, eBook, and audiobook.
