Book Review: Wrecked by Priscilla West

Wrecked by Priscilla West
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


“There would be no happy ending for us. He was too damaged. I was too broken.”

Two years ago, Lorrie’s mother was murdered. But that wasn’t the end of it. Reeling from the tragedy, Lorrie’s father spiraled into alcohol, depression, and finally suicide.

The two most important people in Lorrie’s life are both gone but she’s still alive.

Trying to recover from the tragedy, Lorrie returns to campus, ready to pick up the pieces of her life. All Lorrie wants is to get back to “normal.”

Then she meets Hunter. The man, the legend, “the Hammer.”

Hunter is a cage fighter who takes on every fight like he’s got nothing to lose. His life is a tangled mess of girls, booze, and fist fights. And while it may seem like he’s got a devil-may-care attitude, he’s fighting a private cage-match with a monster he can’t defeat.

Lorrie knows that Hunter is the exact type of guy she should stay away from, especially in her fragile state, but Hunter has other ideas.

As Hunter and Lorrie grow closer together, will they be able to overcome their pain and heal each other? Or will they both end up wrecked?

Review:

I loved this! Both of the main characters are lovable, I loved the fact that they started as friends then their relationship blossoms into something better, I loved the that they gave each other the solace that they both badly needed.

Hunter just like most of the hero in any romance book is a hot, good looking and popular but I liked that unlike most of the hero he's not cocky and bossy in an alpha kind of way, instead he's patient with Lorrie and he offered friendship first when he realize that Lorrie is different from the other girls plus he rescued the kittens! how adorable is that?!

Lorrie, our girl even-though damaged is a fighter and not a pushover , she knows what's better for her and she tries hard to do that no matter how hard thus fighting her attraction to Hunter.

I enjoyed and loved and I might re-read this sooner than I planned. I recommend this to all romance book readers. Can't wait to read the book 2.

Book Summary:
Evie and Leo met in foster care as children and formed a bond of friendship. As they grew, their bond turned to love, and they vowed to make a life together when they turned 18 and were no longer a part of the system.

When Leo unexpectedly gets adopted as a teen and he moves to another city, he promises Evie that he will contact her as soon as he gets there and come back for her in a few short years. She never hears from him again.

Now eight years later, in spite of the odds, Evie has made a life for herself. She has a job. She has friends. She's content. Then a man shows up out of the blue, claiming that her long lost love, Leo, sent him to check up on her. The attraction between them is undeniable. But, should she trust this sexy stranger? Or is he keeping a secret about what his connection to Leo is really all about and why Leo disappeared all those years ago?

New Adult Contemporary Romance: Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

My Thoughts:

I'm grateful that I've seen this book in my goodreads updates and decided to read it asap, this book is wonderful not only because it does have a good story but because it teaches life values that we do know but most of the time forget or take for granted.

Evie, I do love her..and honestly ..wishes to somehow adapt her point of view in life, she experience lots of painful things in life but instead of being bitter and mean..it made her stronger and appreciate simple joys in life. Most of us here have a decent job, a nice home and a bed where we can sleep but we're still sad and feel that life doesn't go our way and we deserve more (dramatics aren't we?) but our Evie here feels blessed with just having a bed to sleep and a job that will feed her.

Jake, our poor hunky jake did what he did in order to get the girl he truly wanted and I couldn't blame him..me wants my own jake *blush

Relationship between Evie and Jake started a little too fast for me but I can't blame them..why waste time? :P SO anyways what I'm trying to say is if you haven't read this yet..READ.THIS.NOW.

I'm excited to read more books by this author.
