Confession: I’ve read Wreck You a few times…and I love Abby’s debut novel!! Maura is a no-nonsense chick with a completely soft side and tons of vulnerabilities. Have you ever read a book and thought about the main character ‘Man, I wish that girl was my best friend because she’s so darn cool?’ Yeah, that was me when reading Maura’s story!Maura grew up in an MC – Motorcycle Club – and has been overprotected her whole life by the guys in the club and her dad, Mickey (who by the way is totally alpha hot and I would want him to slap me on the arse!). She’s ready to break out of the MC life and this is her story.She meets Corbin, a Marine, which allows for a perfect mix of military romance and MC romance. I will share that I’ve read a few MC romances, but they’re not my go-to. I loved the way Abby was able to blend the MC with the military aspect and create the perfect mix of both within the story. Corbin is one hot Marine with just enough of a dirty mouth to make a girl need a change of panties! He’s on leave and when he meets Maura, the sparks fly! It actually reminded me of how quickly I connected with my hubby who I met when on leave one weekend. I loved the way Corbin can be both strong and resilient while completely vulnerable with Maura.One of the things I truly love about Abby’s writing is the sassy, smart-talking personality of Maura. She’s facing quite a few changes in her life and handles them with grace and the occasional bottle of Jack. See why I like her??? There’s a ton of things that happen (no spoilers here!): misunderstandings, action, pain, heartbreak, love, friendship (go Jenny!!), and decisions that have a way of changing the course of people’s lives. I loved the journey that Maura takes as she learns more about who she is, what she wants in this life, and how to be strong enough to go for what she wants and needs.This is not your typical MC book, nor the typical military romance. It’s Maura’s journey mixed with all of those people surrounding her who impact her life in a way that helps her become the woman she is. Grab this book and dive in! Abby McCarthy writes a story filled with heart and passion and love that kept me turning pages long into the night!P.s. I’m waiting impatiently for Dawson’s story…because I know there’s some naughty, alpha sides to him that are yet to be explored!!
