Serafina (Sera) is a waitress at the local diner who
is dealing with an abusive brother and his drug dealer girlfriend. Benjamin (Ben) is a well-known martial artist
who is dealing with being a single parent to a lively little girl, Ava.
Sera and Ben meet when Sera stops by the martial arts studio
where Ben works to see about taking a self-defense training class. Ben helps Sera with her brother and his
girlfriend, and Sera helps Ben take care of Ava. They are attracted to each other and getting
to a point where they can admit this is a sometimes painful and sometimes
amusing process.
Fighter is enjoyable and
engaging with a positive message. The mountain setting is wonderful. I like
the interaction between the characters. There are some touching moments between Sera
and Ben, Ava and Sera, and Ava and Sera’s parents.
I especially like how Sera and Ben’s relationship is
mutual. Although they have challenges,
they reach outside of themselves and help each other. Sera and Ben aren’t the helpless victim
types. They aren’t perfect, but they
realize they have issues that need to be addressed and take steps to do so. Sera and Ben acknowledge their love for each
other and develop a loving relationship in the process.
Fighter is the fourth book
in the Coffee Shop series and another fun, worthwhile story by Katie Cross.
