Some may say it is too quick to believe, but it really works for the story. Maura and Corbin both have very bold personalities and are not ones to let life pass them by. When they are presented with an opportunity in life, they step up and take it. They are both fiercely independent but, once they are together, they begin to tear down the barriers that each have put up. The story takes a twist when Maura is attacked by a member of a rival club and Corbin comes to her rescue. From that point, Corbin makes his number one mission Maura!The book is written in first person from Maura’s POV, with the exception of the Prologue that is from Corbin and one chapter at a pivotal point of the book we get to hear from her father, Mikey. Character development plays out well between the characters in this story. Abby’s writing style is very captivating and moves the story right along. Even though this is a shorter read, the author did a great job at full development of the story and rounding out the plot. Overall, we really enjoyed this book and would highly recommend. Check out this debut novel by Abby McCarthy. You will not be disappointed! We'll be keeping our eye out for her future reads for sure!
