Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
Corey Nolan
is a single mom to her daughter Molly.
She is trying to become more independent and has moved into her own
apartment. She has also gotten a job at
Bob’s bar as a bartender. She is hoping
that things will go her way in her relationship with boyfriend Keith also.
On her first
day of work she makes an unforgettable impression on three firemen as she rides
by on her way to work. Ultimately she
has met some new friends. At work she
tries to fit in and meets the patrons of the bar. Unfortunately her kindness gains her some
dangerous attention. She gains a stalker
and her house is broken into where she is attacked. Keith is not there for her and she decides
she is done.
The man who
is there for her is friend and fireman, Jake.
He becomes her protector and rock as things turn dangerous. Her daughter has an allergic reaction, Corey
has a health scare herself and people are dying around her. Something is going on and Corey has no idea
what to do.
I wasn’t
sure about this book as I started reading it.
Corey came across as a weak character.
I prefer strong female lead characters and she wasn’t appearing to be
it. However her klutziness made her
relatable. I loved her accident outside
the fire station. I could picture myself doing something similar. Not like starting off with a little
humiliation. She started working in the
bar and I thought things were looking up.
I didn’t understand why she was still with Keith. The author offered him up as king loser and I
was a bit disgusted that Corey put up with it.
I did
understand her issues and her fears. The
author really played them up and threw a lot at her. It was almost too much. Corey came through for me in the end. She proved herself a strong character. Unfortunately what she lost for that strength
was unforeseen. I wasn’t expecting all
the twists and turns the author took the reader on. It was an extremely wild ride full of danger
and betrayal. I gave it a 3.5 out of 5.
