This was a great book by a fantastic author. I usually love Erin McCarthy’s books and “True” is no different.
The book is about Rory, an introvert nerd by nature and circumstance, that is trying to come out of her shell and enter the land of the sexually experienced. She wants to do “it” for the right reasons and with the right person but she is of the belief that no one wants her or would want to have sex with her. When she is put into a very precarious situation that quickly gets out of hand and enters extremely dangerous, she is in need of rescue. Queue in Tyler Mann. Tyler, who hooks up with Rory’s college roommate, Jessica, from time to time to scratch an itch, is from the lower class trying to save his brothers for a life of poverty and a drug addict mother. He is tattooed, tough and rugged, gorgeous and muscular with a secret interest in one Rory Macintosh. When Tyler sees the situation, he comes in to rescue Rory and save the day. And so it begins.
They begin to see each other but Rory questions Tyler’s motives because clearly there is no logical reason for the gorgeous Tyler to want to be with a homely girl like Rory. When Rory discovers that her dorm roommates Jessica and Riley offered Tyler money to take Rory’s virginity, she is crushed and feels even more dejected.
After briefly avoiding Tyler and Tyler never giving up, they date more seriously and quickly fall in love. Trouble still finds this couple though by way of Rory’s father and the cops that I was sure would end them forever. But love always finds a way.
This was an easy read. It had me turning page after page just to know what came next. I really enjoyed this book from beginning to end and was quite disappointed when it was over. The love story was truly romantic and had you pulling for this couple from the very beginning. Erin made the characters come alive on the pages so much so that I was able to picture what they looked like and how they felt. I admit to crying several times while reading the book and although it wasn’t the ugly cry, it was still emotional.
Definitely 5 stars!
Thank you to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book for an honest review.
