Words cannot express how much I've enjoyed the Hilton Head Island Series by Ivy Emerson! Dream Fighter is the third book and is such a joy to read.

Book Synopsis

Darcy:

I got the message years ago—I'm the problem, an inconvenience, a burden…

So, I've poured everything into my MMA career, to prove I can succeed on my own...

But now, my greatest opponent is the doubt creeping into my heart…

My plan? Stay focused, keep swinging, and never depend on anyone…

The only problem is... after seven years of silence... he's back.

Noah:

I thought being perfect would make me worthy—worthy of love, of her…

So, I went in search of approval, but all I found was a past that’s too broken to fix…

But now, I'm back with a heart full of regrets and a second chance I can’t afford to lose…

My plan? Fight for her, tell her she’s the only one I’ve ever wanted…

The only problem is… I might be too late.

Book Thoughts

What a beautiful final book in the Hilton Head Island series. These books are so near and dear to my heart due to the author's gentle communication of the Christian faith in such impactful ways that each book leaves me with a deeper truth about God. Not only am I amazed at how well the characters exemplify different attributes of God, but I simply adore the love stories that have been developed for each character. In this case, seeing Darcy and Noah's second chance romance reminds me of God's faithfulness when we are weak and of His provision through the care and concern of others. Noah's selflessness is tender, and Darcy's drive to help others is admirable.

Being a part of Noah and Darcy's own journeys in spiritual growth is wholly satisfying, making it easy to root for them to come together. If you've read the other Hilton Head Island books, you'll know that Ivy Emerson writes scenes with the most romantic gestures, and this book is no exception. At the same time, all of the lessons about faith and our identity in Christ are solidly written, creating the perfect balance between romantic love and spiritual love. I love that sensitive issues are explored truthfully and that Dream Fighter is all about how God can grant us even bigger dreams than envisioned. Readers wanting to meet tenacious characters who have abiding relationships with God will enjoy this book and the whole series.
