Jake Stevens has it made. A local police officer with an open invitation to any number of beds around town, Jake has no desire to settle down with any of the ladies he entertains by night. After watching his best friend fall in love with his little sister, Jake is certain that love and marriage just aren’t in his cards. Heck, he’s not even playing with the same deck.
After Jake encounters a blast from the past one night, he finds himself swimming in uncharted waters. For the first time, Jake has found a woman he can’t get out of his mind. The kicker? The woman wants nothing to do with him.
Erin Anderson returns to the small Missouri town of Rivers Edge for a job after a twenty year absence. Erin spent years loathing the memory of Jake Stevens for his cruelness back in seventh grade. Now, Jake appears to be the same self-centered player he was in junior high, and no one seems to be able to push her button the way the cocky, yet devastatingly handsome cop does.
Between circumstances that keep thrusting them together and Jake’s persistence to annoy her, Erin struggles to fight her growing feelings for Jake. But, can Erin get past the hurt she felt all those years ago at the hands of a young Jake? Can Jake show Erin that what they have is worth fighting for?

Fight Me Rivers Edge Book 2 edition by Lacey Black Literature Fiction eBooks
This is the second book in Lacey Black's Rivers Edge series. Ms. Black has done it again with another great story in this sexy, small town series. I've really come to love these characters and this series, and it's a direct result of Ms. Black's writing style and storytelling abilities. I was so impressed by her writing with her debut novel, Trust Me, that I knew I wouldn't be disappointed with this one, and I absolutely wasn't.Erin Anderson and Jake Stevens have a history that goes back to the seventh grade. Erin, an only child, was an military brat moving often with her parents when her father's career as an officer required it. She was shy, quiet and a little unsure of herself. Jake, the oldest of five children in the Stevens household, is the class clown, the boy all the girls crushed on, charming and mischievous. He and Erin meet on their first day, and from that day forward, Jake does all that he can to get a rise out of or fluster Erin. Unbeknownst to Erin until she arrives at school one day, Jake taken his teasing of Erin a few steps too far and has humiliated her in front of the whole school. Her pain is so great, Erin never returns to school, leaving town to go live in Mississippi with her grandmother.
"I finally thought I'd found a place. A place where I actually fit in."
Twenty years later, Erin returns to Rivers Edge to fill the retiring librarian's position. She has a chance encounter with Jake, and she makes it very clear that she wants nothing to do with him. She manages to avoid him for a few months while she settles into her life in Rivers Edge. She sees him again at the old librarian's retirement party, and she reiterates to him that they are not friends.
"I wasn't your friend then, and I'm not your friend now."
Jake, having served in the Marines, is a ten year veteran of the Rivers Edge Police Department. He's troubled by Erin's dismissal, he's very ashamed of how he treated Erin as a boy, and he struggles to find the right way to apologize. Jake is a good older brother to his siblings, a childhood best friend to his patrol partner and soon-to-be brother-in-law, and a doting uncle to his four year old niece. Jake is a man who is used to having women fall all over him. He thinks Erin is gorgeous, and he's not handling it well that she is less than receptive to his overtures, attempts to reconnect, and offers of friendship.
Jake is persistent though, and he uses a chance to help Erin when she really needs it to sneak past her defenses. Once he gets there, he digs his heels in and he's staying! Erin is a bit flustered by Jake's attention. She doesn't know what to make of it or him. Slowly but surely, though, Jake is cracking through her protective shell. She meets, and genuinely likes, his family, striking up a friendship with Jake's sister, Avery. Jake keeps at it, and eventually convinces her to go on a date with him.
Jake continues slowly but steadily entrenching her in his life and he in hers. He is wearing her down, and Jake is surprised by the depth of the feelings he has for Erin. He's a known player, a guy who doesn't do relationships or long-term, but he's thinking about both of those things with Erin. She is still cautious, but she's falling for him. It takes a near tragedy for Erin to realize what is in her heart, but after that event they become nearly inseparable. Erin is even involved in helping with Avery and Maddox's wedding.
"She is that piece that has been missing from my life..."
I loved watching Jake, the player who has never had a serious relationship before, fall for Erin. He was so surprised by how strong his feelings for her were, and he struggled with figuring out what to do about it. Erin, who started out hating Jake for all the pain he caused her 20 years before, fell just as hard and took that leap of faith, although cautiously, stepping way outside her comfort zone for Jake. The author really let us into their heads to experience these feelings and thoughts right along with them.
One of my favorite things about reading is getting lost in the story, which sadly doesn't always happen. For me, it's happened with both of Lacey Black's books. She has this natural quality to her writing that just immediately captures the reader and draws them right into the story. She's very detailed and thorough, and I love that she uses dual points of view; I especially love getting inside the head of the Hero and knowing what he's thinking and feeling, and the author did this spectacularly.
Lacey Black has quickly become a favorite author for me. She is an exceptionally talented author and story teller. I truly adore this series, and I cannot wait to see what happens next. She has created a great series here, hitting all the right notes so expertly. She has easily earned a spot on my auto buy, one-click list. Another stellar offering from the talented Lacey Black!

Fight Me Rivers Edge Book 2 edition by Lacey Black Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Jake Stevens and Erin Anderson met in middle school. Erin just focused on school and a couple of close friends while Jake went out of his way to tease and embarrass her until his last incident had her leaving the small town for good. Twenty years later she is back as the town librarian and Jake is police officer. As if a moth to light Jake is determined to get to know Erin better, but she has not forgiven him for his past. As Jake continues to insert himself in Erin's life he finds himself in unchartered waters as he has always been a player and now he is wanting to build something with Erin.
Very fun read. Jake is bossy and Erin fights him at every turn. I loved that Jake was off kilter with Erin and she was equally so with Jake. I need to go back and read the first book but from what I can tell this is a very good series so far.
OMG I though nothing would beat Maddox's and Avery's story. But Lacey has proved me wrong.
I have finished this book in one day because I could not put it down for the life of me.
Erin I can so relate to her. The shyness she has. The reading. She is a delicate woman who moved from place to place as a child due to her father being in the military. In seventh grade something happens. A boy has embarrassed her so bad that she moved.
Jake OMG can he be real so I can have him? I love how he is just demanding. Of course I love his playful side. I loved seeing how Erin put him in his place with all the demanding.
I have to admit I loved the stripping scenes. I think they were my favorite. And I mean the one in the restaurant and in private.
I so give this book 5 stars. Its a must read.
This is the second book of Rivers Edge series. I'm thinking you could read this one without having read the first one, but in order to really know the characters I think book one is very important. In book one we met Jake, the oldest brother. Jake is a cop who is a bit of a player. He takes his role of oldest brother very seriously. He has no interest in settling down, but he is bitten by the bug after he sees Erin. Erin and Jake share a happening in their past. They met in seventh grade, and then Jake did something that really caused Erin grief. I felt so badly for young Erin as I read the prologue and found out what happened. Now years later they have a chance to see how this attraction plays out. There are a few bumps in the road. We get to visit with the others characters that we met in book one. I loved the bachelor and bachelorette parties. I loved Maddox and Avery's wedding. I just felt good reading this book. I can't wait to start book three.
Please note this review may contain spoilers.
Jake is Erin’s mortal enemy. Well, not really, but he’s pretty close. After embarrassing her terribly in seventh grade, she moved away from Rivers Edge to live with her grandmother. Twenty years later she’s back to take over the Librarian’s position. Jake is happy being a bachelor, jumping from one woman’s bed to the next, but when he meets Erin again, something inside him makes him take notice. Unfortunately for Jake, she wants nothing to do with him, still angry at how he embarrassed her all those years ago. But he’s persistent and slowly starts to break down her walls, using a small emergency at her house as his way in.
I enjoyed Fight Me, but not as much as I enjoyed Trust Me. It’s a nice story, but I thought Erin let go of her anger too quickly for someone who had been harbouring such strong feelings for the past 20 years. She is a very nice woman who fits well into the Stevens’ family. Jake is very demanding, and as a cop he’s obviously used to his orders being followed. But I loved how Erin put him in his place by refusing his demands, teaching him that he might get better results if he were to simply ask. I would have loved to have seen a bit more of Maddox and Avery’s wedding, to have been a bit more focused on them instead of Jake and Erin, just for the ceremony.
