Born to Fight (Can’t Resist You Book 1) by Brittany Anne – Review by Allyson Ware
Throughout the entirety of this novel I felt like I was engrossed in a movie. If someone were to make this book into a movie, I WILL be the first person in line for tickets. The way Hunter and Rain find each other and love each other through their flaws and misgivings is a love that all of us hope to have one day. “For you, I can do anything.”
With a career in Victim Advocacy, I felt like Rain’s abuse was depicted accurately. While everyone experiences and handles trauma differently, I felt like it was not just brushed over in this novel. I will be re-reading, then again, and then probably a third or fourth time. I am definitely looking forward to the next book in this series.

Terrific series starter This was an unexpected surprise. I was intrigued by the synopsis but I really didn’t think that I would be so drawn in so quickly by the story. The story moved along at an easy pace and the world building was brilliant. I became quickly invested with the characters and their plight. This story has it all – suspense, romance, action and drama all presented in a world that could one day be our future. I really enjoyed the multiple POV as this gives a good balance to the story. Looking forward to reading book 2.

After the Fall, the UNR came to power and took over everything. Submit and follow along or be executed, that was the law. Anna escaped and has been hiding out for two years. Life was simple all alone, but then she saw him. She could tell he was a soldier, but he was also about to die. Anna drags his body back to her safeplace to help him. What is she thinking? She doesn’t even know who he is. One thing she is certain of, he is not UNR, but who is he? Could he be one of THEM? Could he help her? She had heard stories of the Resistance, but never believed they were real, until now. Born to Fight is a post-apocalyptic story of fighting for what you believe in. It is the first of the Can’t Resist You series by Brittany Anne.

I was hooked from the start and finished this book in one sitting! A post-apocalyptic story after “The Fall” where the UNR controls the communities and the people live like slaves. Hunter, one of the main characters, is part of the Resistance, which is trying to help the people. Rain, the other main character, is living a solitary life hidden in a bunker. When they meet the story takes off and is full of action, fighting, humor, and steamy romance. I liked the flashbacks to learn more about the characters. I liked picturing the bunker, the resistance HQ, the UNR compound, and the forests. An overall great read!

What an amazing first book! If the first book is any indication of this series, this is going to be an amazing series.
The United States fell and is now under the control of the UNR. The UNR controls everything within its borders. That is everything except The Resistance. Hunter Kane was born to a soldier, a former SEAL. His father trained him to be a soldier in every aspect from birth. As one of the leaders of The Resistance, his mission is to take out the UNR starting at the top with Governor Allan. That is until he tries to save a woman and gets attacked by UNR soldiers and left for dead.
Rain ran away from hell two years ago. She escaped a controlling father and a controlling and abusive husband. She found a bunker and has been hiding out. One day trying to get some water from the river she finds a man left for dead. Using all of her strength, she brings him back to her bunker to try and save him.
Little do they both know that they each hold a key to the other’s destiny.

Born to Fight is book one in the Can’t Resist You series by Brittany Anne. This is a science fiction romance, and while I don’t tend to read this genre, this story was really quite mesmirising. Extremely dramatic and sexy, the chemistry between the leading characters was explosive and steamy. A sweary, sweaty seduction set in a post-apocalyptic time that was imaginative and cleverly written. This author is new to me and I went in with a very open mind. I think I have found another trope to sink into. I am looking forward to reading more of her work. Born to Fight was a gripping and exciting tale that had me totally invested and desperate for more. A real page turner. 4 stars.

Born to Fight (Can’t Resist You Book 1) by Brittany Anne is an apocalyptic dystopian romance story. It is a tale that makes you think that their reality could in fact one day be our reality. This gripping tale had me turning page after page as I was riveted to the story. I was in the zone and completely oblivious to anything around me. So much so I realised hubby was walking away from me shaking his head. Anyhoo, this wonderful story is full of action and danger, drama and suspense, adventure, and mystery. You can feel the passion of Brittany’s words as you journey through the lies and secrets, hope and frustrations, pain, and sorrow of the characters.
Can enemies become more? Grab this book to find out.

Resistance leader Hunter Kane was trained from birth to be the ultimate soldier. He has one purpose and one purpose alone: take down the UNR. After a near-fatal attack and a narrow escape from death’s door, Hunter finds his world turned upside down. He spent his entire life as a killer. A soldier. A savior? An emotionless robot with one job. But he can’t fight the feeling he gets when he stares into the eyes of the woman who saved his life. He was born to be a fighter, but suddenly, he’s not so sure that’s enough for him. What will Hunter choose when he must decide between his purpose and his heart?
Rain had not seen another human being in two years since she’d stowed herself away in an ancient bunker, content to live out her days in hiding. When when she stumbles upon a man caked in blood and barely breathing, she knows instantly that her entire world is about to change. Rain spent her whole life dreaming of the Resistance only to be thrown into it by the man who started it all, but how will he react when he finds out who she truly is? Rain desperately believes in their cause, and believes in the sparks flying between her and Hunter even more.
Can they really find happiness in this world that’s fallen apart, or will Rain’s secrets destroy them both and end the Resistance once and for all?
Brittany Anne is a hopeless romantic and an unrelenting dreamer, forever shoving logic aside for the sake of love and “happily ever after.”
She is a romance writer, dabbling in multiple sub-genres including contemporary romance and romantic suspense. No matter what the subgenre, all of her stories include sexy heroes, strong heroines, and sparks that fly off the page.
When she isn’t writing, you can find Brittany reading steamy romance novels, swimming at the beach, making her own candles, and loving life with her very own alpha hero.

This book is set slightly in the future in Warrentown. A baren place with very few residents and they are mostly the elderly.
One night the tavern gets a visit from a few militia members and that when things get stirred up. They get drunk and annoying and try to make a scene to spice up the boring evening.
The militia members get lost on the way home on the same road they drove to get to Warrentown. They are left battling each other and their surroundings to survive. As one member gets removed from the group he doesn’t realize it will forever change his life.
Raven Woman’s Tavern is the first book I have read from Laura Koerber but definitely will not be the last. Thanks for an Intriguing read.

A tight knit community who has each other’s back. I really related to Charlie the poet. Considering I write poetry. So I really enjoyed those parts my favorites actually. There a very resourceful bunch.
Koerber has a unique and original writing style that draws you in; she has a way of smoothly melding her characters points of view and creates a fascinating visual and plot.
I feel like there should have been longer chapters on some parts as I found myself rereading most of the book to make sure I didn’t miss anything. There should have more to the characters brief introductions in the first chapters.
Even though I feel that the book left me with unanswered questions, I did enjoy reading it. I have actually reread it a few times. There is a lot of potential for more amazing reads by Koerber, I will be watching for more titles!

This book is set 10 years into the future, it painted a dark bleak picture of what humanity has done to the earth, and what it would look like if we kept on the same path as we do now. The Raven Woman is a shapeshifting tavern owner who cares and looks out for her community, while watching humans destroy her habitat. An interesting group come into town accusing the people here of something they apparently did, the town stands together and these people leave, they end up lost and not knowing where they were going, while one guy leaves to make it on his own, he comes across some disturbing things that make you wonder if what he’s seeing is real or if he is imagining it all. the viewpoint of the story changed from so many different characters; it took me a bit to get a handle on who was who. but It is a well-written and thought-out story that I enjoyed and was worth sticking with it till the end. This book had lots of twists and turns. I am not fully sure if I understood what was real and what was illusion, I am not sure if that was the author’s intention, but it made for an interesting story.

This book was very interesting. It was a little bit hard to follow at first but it’s just because it is different peoples stories that weave together for an entrancing story. It had a twist at the end. Definitely worth the read.

Raven Woman’s Tavern is set in the near future in an abandoned mining town that is occupied by a small group of survivalists eking out a meagre existence. Many, but not all, of the community’s citizens are law abiding folks so when a small group of militia members converge upon the town it sets some of the community members on edge.
The story is centered on Raven Woman, a shapeshifter, and her tavern. When the militia members enter Raven’s tavern it sets off a chain of events that forever changes the life of one of its members, Baylor. After a night of heavy drinking and obnoxious behaviour the militia leave the tavern and head for home. The four members end up lost which baffles them because they have travelled that very same stretch of road on numerous occasions in the past. Somehow though, the road looks different, and time seems to be standing still. The four young militia are left to battle with each other as well as the harsh elements. Baylor is banished from the group, and he must venture through the woods and try to survive on his own. As he wanders through the forest, Baylor spots a raven in nearby treetop and swears that it is talking to him and leading the way for him. He quickly brushes this off as from fatigue and malnourishment and plods on, hoping that he can find shelter before he is too weak to continue.
Raven Woman’s Tavern is the first book that I have read by Laura Koerber, but it will not be the last. The author did a marvelous job of describing the characters, their lives, and the world they were struggling to survive in. The book gave a glimpse into how lives would be if we were suddenly stripped of all the modern conveniences, we have grown accustomed to having and often take for granted. This is something that I have though of often and found myself wanting a simpler life. Learning to fend for myself and be more self sustainable started with growing and canning my own food. These are skills that seem to have become lost through the years and I am hoping to pass these skills onto the next generation. Kudos to Laura Koerber, I look forward to reading more of your books!

The setting is 10 years in the future in and around a little town called Warrentown in Washington… It’s not hard to believe the dystopian world Laura Koerber has built as many of the issues mentioned have been current events for so long. Generally, I do not struggle to read from multiple point of views, but I did struggle to know what was going on during this read. It may have been too often of a transition because the author did a fabulous job of getting into the mood of multiple head spaces. I could definitely hear the differences between transitions; maybe it was just too frequent for me to keep a steady track of what was happening. Warrentown is aptly described as a small, isolated town that made me recall my own history in a town similar. All in all, the imagery of this story is great and the characters of this book have potential, I’m just not entirely sure what the plot of this book was. I did like reading about Charlie and Val and enjoyed the character progression of Baylor.

Raven Woman’s Tavern was a book that interested me in the story background. I wanted to find out more about this tavern and what was going on. The book gave some very interesting details in this dystopic near future, and was actually quite creepy! Some of the book was a bit harder to follow and by the end, I was not sure of what was happening next. Nice writing, but the end of the book did not leave me as interested as I had hoped.

I was pulled in this story as soon as I started reading it. This was an interesting and intriguing read. There were times in this story that I felt a little confused but overall it was well written. We get introduced to a few different characters in this book and each of them are living with their own struggles, some just struggling to feed themselves. The author was very descriptive in her words so that I was able to picture life in this dystopian world. I am hoping for another book in which some questions might be answered and we get to go into more depth with some of the characters. I gave this book 4 stars.

This book had a rollercoasters amount of twist and turns! I am not fully sure if I understood what was real and what was illusion, and I am also not sure if that was the author’s intention but it made for an interesting story! I would have liked a bit more of a conclusion on a few things though, as the story’s end does seem to come abruptly and not necessarily leaving a cliffhanger for a sequel. Despite this, the book was entrancing and it was difficult to tear away from! I almost managed to finish it in one sitting – which is difficult with multiple small children around!

Raven Woman’s Tavern by Laura Koerber was a great short read and I’m looking forward to more from Ms. Koerber. Raven Woman’s Tavern keeps a very surreal feeling through the book leaving her readers feeling as if they are in a dreamlike state. Ms. Koerber gives us quick glimpses into most of the lives of her character and focuses more on the vivid details of her main characters, the plot, and the town. She weaves all of her characters stories together flawlessly like a spider weaving a delicate web. With just enough drama and suspense that the readers will continue flipping the pages as fast as they can read Ms. Koerber pulls her readers in hook, line, and sinker.

This book was beautifully well written. The first chapter is what drew me in. You could see from her eyes the progress of what her little river was like before humans came and mucked everything up and then the sad decline and the after affects of us leaving. That chapter alone makes you stop and think about real life. We are cutting trees down at an alarming rate, are we destined to have a future like that of the book? It gets your mind going and thinking, and then it introduces the main characters of the book and takes you along for the story. Every small town is not what it seems. I loved this story so much, it’s being added to my bookshelf.

Raven Woman’s Tavern spins a tale of shapeshifters, outcasts, corruption, and more.
Raven Woman’s Tavern was a delight to experience. From the beginning when we hear about Warrentown through the eyes of the Raven to the story lines of Rachel, Valerie, Baylor and the others, this story is told in a way that is beautiful and enchanting. While reading most of it, I could imagine sitting around a campfire or in large room listening to a tale of how the world came to be. It’s a quick, interesting read but leaves me wishing for a little more to the story. I wish to hear more about the birth of Warrentown and how the Raven pictures the world’s growth. This book feels more like the start of an in-depth novel or series and I really hope to see more about this world of shapeshifters, Rainier, and Warrentown.
As you read, it brings a lot of thoughts to mind about what you’d do if in different situations, many of which may feel a tad too close to home in some parts of the world. How willing are you to break the law to make the world a better place? How far are you willing to go to protect the ones you care about from a justice system that’s corrupt? Raven Woman’s Tavern takes a look inside the minds of Warrentown’s remaining citizens and the lengths they’re willing to go to survive. I definitely think you should take a chance on this story and then beg for more!

Raven Woman’s Tavern by Laura Koerber was very weird in a good way. Whenever you pick up a book you think you know what you are getting into, but this book takes turns and twists that I would never ever have thought about. As I abstain from most politics, it didn’t occur to me until farther in that many of the aspects of this book were incredibly introspective about American Politics. It gives a sense of how truly bad the world is and can get.
Following each story of the people of Warrentown and the militia members gets you more and more invested in their lives. The craziness they brought and that they get into changes perspective, especially following the older generation throughout the book. The personalities of the town aren’t completely clear all the time, and some of them feel like they mix together. But Koerber brings a really unique experience with this book! It is a must read!! @karenmmarsh

Raven Woman’s Tavern by Laura Koerber is a short dystopian novel that has some truly interesting characters. The story is well thought and so intriguing. I honestly think it would have benefited from being a full length novel to really be able to explore these ideas even further. I was really taken in by the story as a whole. I think the ending lacked a bit of conviction but as a whole the book was a great read. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and this author.

This was a really interesting story. It will keep you gripped from beginning to end and is full of twists and turns. I like how at the beginning of the story we get introduced to each individual character and find out how they work and fit into this town.
Warrentown is a small place with very few residents left. The ones that are left are getting old and are struggling to live each day and survive in their town. The town is watched over by Rachel the owner of Raven’s Tavern. However Racheal isn’t what she appears to be and when a group of people from the local militia come into the town the residents start to panic. Some of them aren’t exactly doing things that are legal and some of them aren’t even human residents.
You are taken on a story through a dying town and the struggles of it residents. You also learn about community and connection when they are faced with an enemy which threatens their way of life. This book is a good supernatural story which touches on elements of our life today.

Raven Woman’s Tavern By: Laura Koerber Genre: Historical Fantasy Pages: 172
This book was a good read, the first few chapters suck you in and then it hits a bit of a plateau. The story is overall rounded to complete its POV however the plot seems a bit scattered. This story focuses much on life lessons by highlighting realistic points that keep you engrossed in the read. This book is the definition of don’t judge a book by its cover, the story is not so much Raven Woman’s Tavern even though that is a point imperative to the main characters story. If you are interested in unanswered questions or a cliff hanger then yes you will not be disappointed. This story was open and shut, easy and enticing I wish it had a bit more direction. What does the future hold for humankind? A story with adventurous danger with a realistic twist. This is a four-star read worth the thought of the possible future.

This is an interesting story of a rag-tag group of survivalists scraping out an existence in a dead mining town. Set only 10 years in the future, it paints a bleak picture of what humanity, and the Earth, might look like for people living in 2031. Hosted by the Raven Woman, a shapeshifting tavern owner who has lived for millenia, watching humans destroy her habitat. She is an odd character, but she does look out for her community in her own way. As the story’s viewpoint changed from so many different characters, it took me a bit to get a handle on who was who, and why we were privy to information… it took a good chunk of the book to understand what Koerber was saying with this work. It is a well-written and thought-out piece that I enjoyed, and was worth sticking with it til the end. I’ll be looking at what other things this authour has written.

Raven Women’s Tavern by Laura Koerber was a book I got sucked into. Everything in this book is easy to grasp, but has great details. The reader can imagine the scenes, whether it be a frail old man walking down the road with his dog or a terrified bar keeper trying to keep calm in front of militia. I had a very tough time putting this book down when it got to Baylor and his struggles to survive. The author did such a great job portraying the character’s emotions that I felt like I was there with him! The only thing I wish to have from this book was more! I’d love to see the characters develop more or see more into the beginning chapters so that I felt more immersed. Overall, a great read!

Definitely worth buying, this book ends up making you think about what’s life really about. It’s a little weird but the characters are so wonderfully built up and eclectic that you feel like your in futuristic community. Rachel, the tavern owner; Charlie, and his cats; Val, and all the others. The community sounds like a run down town after everything is destroyed by companies pulling out. The description of the town by the Raven is fantastic. Kind of a bird’s eve view. It truly is a good book that you have to read. Too good to describe in words, you have to experience it. Highly recommend!!!!

This was a very short, but interesting, story. While it’s not my typical genre of books, I thought the cover was gorgeous yet also had a dark tone to it. And this was very true for the story as well. I thought that it was an action-packed book about a small town that had a lot of strange occurrences going on. I found in some places that the hairs on my arms were standing up because it was so strange and chilling. But I liked it. I did however feel that there was something missing at the end, so I am hoping that there is another book in the series that will pick up where this one dropped off. It would also be nice to get to know more about some of the characters in the town and dig a little deeper into the main character as well.
