I have to say that Fighting Envy was a pleasant surprise. I was expecting a story filled with all kinds of angsty drama, but instead got a quick, sweet story that is filled with really likeable characters, with a few exceptions of course. 
 Jax really is the star of this entire story. He's sweet, sexy and has just enough of that bad boy swagger that gives him an edge without crossing over into that domineering alpha spectrum. He's got his head and life together and really is just a good guy who laid everything out on the table and followed through on what he said he was going to do. At times in the story I thought he was too good to be true, but as I got to know him and see how he views the world it totally worked. Rowan. The girl has issues, not that I blame her considering the emotional abuse her mother piled on her, but there were quite a few times, especially in the first chapter (I almost had to put my ereader in the freezer because of it) , where I wanted to reach out and smack some sense into her. But with as many 'moments' as I had with her, there were also some sweet ones and ones where she showed that she had the will to want to break free of her mothers hold on her. 
 The way that Jax and Rowan meet was awesome, especially after what Jason (the asshole baby daddy) did, and I really enjoyed how their relationship progressed from there, it wasn't a full blown insta-love situation but they both went with the fact that they were attracted to each other and for the most part didn't have many unnecessary angsty drama moments interfere with their courtship. I will admit that there were times where I felt things were a bit too coincidental and easy, but when I thought about what the flip side could be, I had no problem with it at all and just went with it. Also, the way that Jax integrated himself into Rowan and Lily's lives was awesome. He wanted to help them out and did it in a way so as not to step on Rowan's toes. Big, BIG kudos on that one. I know I said that there wasn't an overabundance of drama, but there was drama and when it reared it's ugly head, it worked. 
 Outside of Jax and Rowan's story, I really liked all off Jax's friends and Tyson, Rowan's twin. They were fun, caring and the author did a great job of bringing out each of their personalities and making me want to know more about each of them, especially Cole. On the MMA side of things, I thought they were really well done and gave a great look into how things worked in that world. 
 Overall: I just really liked this book. It was a quick and sweet read with fun characters and I am looking forward to reading the next one.
