Description: Eve isn't one to take things lying down (males please note!). But she never expected to have to step in to save the life of that annoying idiot next door, Adam Quinn. And she only did it because she's reserving the right to kill him herself! 

Adam Quinn and Eve McGinty have been bitter rivals for as long as they can remember. When they both apply for the same job as a trainee car mechanic only one of them can get it, and Eve is finding it hard to convince the misogynistic men who work there of her suitability for the role. Then Eve's younger brother, Jamie, is invited to join the rock band that the irrepressibly flamboyant Quinn and his friends have formed. But unfortunately the members of the band have made some dubious decisions in their eagerness to get a recording deal. When things turn nasty with the local psychopathic night club bouncers and drug dealers, Eve feels she has no option but to step in to prevent her brother being dragged down with the rest of the boys. As the consequences spiral out of control, Eve is forced to spend a lot more time with Quinn than she ever really wanted to.


Hi Readers.

What a surprise! This is one of those books that I thought might just be a fun quick read. It was much more than that. Wonderful growth in story. Fast paced and insightful. 

I love a good coming of age story. Strong characterizations. Loved that they were not perfect and made mistakes. They were flawed and it was beautiful. Human beings are flawed and I find it refreshing when characters reflect that. Some of the characters took a little more time for me to embrace than others. 

Thank you to the author for giving me a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I am rating it Four Red Books because it had a lot going on at times. Overall, it was a great read that was not as predictable as many in its genre. I am intrigued and will most likely seek out the other books in the series.
