Corbin Marx is on leave for a couple weeks from the Marine Corps where he is a platoon Sargent for a small special ops type unit. He is grieving the loss of a teammate and friend, so travels to his friends hometown on leave. Renting a small lakeside cabin he is surprised and attracted to his 20 year old neighbor, Maura.Maura McAfferty is a daughter of a local MC member in a small east coast town. Still a virgin at 20 because most boys steer clear of her, afraid of the MC. She longs for a normal life and a normal guy, even as she is constantly hounded by the MC Presidents son and her lifelong best friend, Dawson, for a romantic relationship. She denies Dawson because deep down she knows she can never be an MC "old lady". She just wants more.Maura and Corbin are all over one another minutes after meeting and things get complicated when her MC life gets I between them.The problem I had with this book was the super quick insta-love between Corbin and Maura. When they have sex after like a day, her virginity is like not even mentioned "in the moment". I kind of found that unbelievable. I don't imagine many 26 year old men come across too many virgins. You would think he would at least be a little surprised? Also, some of Corbin's dialogue was a little cheesy.I liked Maura, she was pretty tough and at times entertaining. And if the issues I had don't bother you, and you like quick reads this is for you.Even though there is an MC in the book, it is not really an MC book. If you go into this thinking it is, you will probably be disappointed. More love story, than MC book.
