At the 2016 Rio Games, Olympic runner Drake Roberts is chasing a dream, a dream that isn’t his. For as long as he can remember it has been his father’s dream for him to be an Olympic gold medalist. Now an injury could rip away everything he’s worked so hard for.

Tamara York has her dream job. She’s part of the team that keeps the Olympic track and field athletes in peak condition. With plenty of growth potential, no one is going to deviate her from her goals, until she sees Drake hiding his injury. Now she has to help Drake to a full recovery while resisting his charms.

Can time spent together help them realize that love as well as dreams are worth fighting for?

I really enjoyed this book which is the second in the series. This book reads well as a stand -alone if you didn't read the first book "Fighting to Win". The main character, Drake Roberts, is a World Champion track runner who qualifies for the opportunity to win a medal at the Olympics being held in Rio - only there are some complications; partly physical, partly mental and emotional. His coach and trainers are trying to help him past his issues, but he has to let them in. Tamara, the only female trainer working with the team, has become more vested in his success. She is a skilled and qualified professional and carries herself as such, but she finds it hard to maintain a work only relationship with the flirty and personable athlete. She has been helping Drake with his knee injury, but it seems to have gotten worse and threatens to damage Drake's chances of running. While trying to perform her duties, personalities clash, professional lines get blurred and emotions are stirred.
The romance aside, this story gives a look at the pressures of athletes; what they put on themselves, what is put upon them from family and coaches, and the feelings of those who care about them.
As I mentioned I really enjoyed this book and the tie-ins to the characters from book one was nicely done.

I really enjoyed this one it is fast paced the setting is fabulous The Rio Olympic games this one shows the struggle that 1500m runner Drake Roberts is going through to make a dream come true but who's dream is it and then we have one of the team physical therapists Tamara York who has her rules that she is determined to follow.

I loved the connection that was instant between Drake and Tamara and the mind struggle that Drake was going through and the way Tamara handles the athlete that was known as a player and that of course was one thing that Tamara was determined to stay away from, but you know sparks cannot be denied and when the electricity sparks then hearts will follow.

I really enjoyed the first book in this series and thoroughly enjoyed this one as well Tamara is just the heroine that Drake needs she is strong and there for him I can't imagine the pressure that Olympic athletes are under and this is a well written story that makes you feel like you are there at the Olympics and I am very much looking forward to the next one in the series, thank you MS Flockton for a great story of love and a dream.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fall in love with Drake and Tamara and relive the glory of the games all over again!
Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2016
Welcome back to Rio de Janeiro for the 2016 Olympic Games! Now a month after the games have ended and we are all still remembering the glory of what we witnessed unfold on the World stage. Nicole Flockton has done an incredible job once again in this second novel in her The Elite series at capturing my attention with another wonderfully written athlete story.

For as long as Drake Robert's can remember, he has been living his father's dream. Now, at Rio without his father's scrutiny, he's trying to make his own dreams come true. Tamara York is Team USA's athletic trainer. She's on hand to make sure the competitors are in tip top shape for competition. So when she notices Drake favoring one leg over the other she knows he's having issues with his knee again but that he's too stubborn to admit it. Determined to get this competitor back to 100% before his big race, she's forced to spend time with the man with the easy smile and quick witted humor. A player for sure or so she's heard, she just can't seem to shake what starts to build between the two as they get Drake back to full health.

What will happen after Rio? Neither of them seem to know but what they do know is they are both dreaming up their own scenarios about how it could all play out. Do they have the guts to fight for their own dreams? You'll have to read it yourself to find out.

Bravo Nicole! The characters were well thought out and developed. The story is complex without being overly so. It's easy to follow, fast paced and will leave you begging for more! I can't wait to see what she can offer us in Fighting to Love, Book Three!

Highly Recommended!

Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2016
This book follows the story of Drake, best friend to Mitch in Fighting to Win (The Elite Book 1), and his trainer, Tamara. Drake is experiencing some pain while training and struggles with telling anyone or accepting help. This is where their journey begins...

Months ago Tamara helped Drake recover from a knee injury, so when she sees him struggling through his workout, she knows something is wrong. Drake tries to use his well known charm to deflect her attention, but she clearly has his number. She won't be so easily manipulated. She's his trainer after all, and there could never be anything other than professional between them. However, as the easy banter and flirting continues, they both begin to long for things to be different. Why couldn't they have met under different circumstances? They've both worked way too long and hard to destroy their futures over a fling at the Games. But is that all it would be? Could they really have it all?

I enjoyed going through this journey with Drake and Tamara. They are both strong, self-assured characters. They had an easy friendship before all of the sexual tension began to get in the way. Not that I'm complaining! I loved watching them crack and eventually break. It's not easy to make a choice that might end everything for which you've worked so hard. But love is truly worth it.

This was another good Olympic-based story by Nicole Flockton. It was easy to get wrapped up in the Games all over again even a month out. She did a wonderful job encompassing the Olympic athletes' experience and drive to do their best. I also enjoyed watching Drake's mental growth in terms of his need to win. Was it all for his dad or did he want it just as much?

Another well-written Olympic love story from Nicole Flockton this time focusing not only on the love between an athlete and his trainer but for his only family as well. I was bothered by Drake blowing hot and cold with Tamara but once his real reason for it was revealed, I forgave him!
The story also showed how the dream of a parent can affect their children. Ultimately tho, the decision to pursue something for oneself or for someone else is the responsibility of the person deciding. Standing by that decision makes you a champion and kudos to Nicole for showing that.
Now I want to know what happened to our Aussie champion Dane and Brooke and Brett as well

Fighting The Dream is the second book in Nicole Flockton's The Elite Series and it can be read as a standalone. The characters were likeable and realistic and their attraction was steamy. The story is fast paced and well written, and it centered around the Rio Olympics. I really enjoyed reading Drake and Tamara's story.
