Book Description:
Eighteen
Year old Emmy O’Connell is the epitome of a hot mess right now. The supposed
love of her life up and left town to attend some ridiculous boarding school,
leaving nothing but a vague email in his wake. Her step douche is constantly
drunk and badgering her too, and her mother? Well, she’s a just a miserable
shell of a woman, and Emmy, along with her four year old brother, are suffering
because the lady just can’t seem to get her life straight. And then the elusive
Jack Hartman saunters into town. That’s when things go from downright awful ...
to just plain disastrous.
The jerk
cousin of her boyfriend becomes Emmy’s worst nightmare, times ten. He’s cruel
and insensitive, but then there’s that strange ability he has over her; the one
where he can make Emmy weak in the knees with the single touch of his hand. But
no matter how miserable or amazing Jack makes her feel, Emmy can’t seem to deny
him, especially when he takes on the role of her protector, otherwise known as
her sudo knight in shining armor, riding in on his black Harley.
But then the
impossible happens, rearing its head in the shape of a hairy wolf shifter. And
the stubborn, unassuming Emmy is thrown head first into the center of it all.
Will Emmy be able to handle the supernatural mess that is now considered her
life? Or in the end, will she fight against the inevitable fate that her heart
keeps insisting she grabs a hold of?
Review:
Emmy has had
a really hard life; she is 18 and lives with her mom, 4 year old brother and
step farther. Her mother is one of those women who is needy and thinks she
needs a man, and her step father is lazy and abusive. The only good thing in
Emmy’s life is her brother, best friend and her boyfriend Zachary.
Until one
day Emmy receives an email from Zachary saying he is leaving for a boarding
school. This is where everything hits the fan. , Zachary’s Cousin Jack moves
into town and becomes poor Emmys wordy nightmare. Only she is not sure whether
she wants to kiss him or punch him in the face. Somehow he ends up being just
what Emmy needs her Knight on a Harley as she would say. But when she is thrown
into the world of the supernatural she is not sure what to do or how to come to
terms with it. With a unknown (to her) person who is hunting her down and wants
her dead she must trust the ones who brought her into to miss to stay alive.
I loved Jack
he is your typical bad boy, Sexy, cocky and a real pain in the butt sometimes
and he wears leather and drives a Harley.
Emmy, I
loved how much she loved her little brother and how protective she is of him.
She did not seem like a very strong character to me. What I mean by that is she
does not really take charge and she seems to always need to be saved all the
time. The one thing that bugged me a little was the fact that she is 18 years
old but she acts in my opinion like she is about 15-16 years old and needs to
mature a little bit. With that said I do want to read the second book to see
what happens next.
