"The Hurricane" By: R.J. Prescott
Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆
I loved the sound of this book from the synopsis and it did not disappoint. I loved it even more than I thought possible. It was everything I expected and more.
Emily only wants to keep her head down, earn enough money waitressing to keep a roof over her head while she finishes University. Very skittish and for very good reason, pretty much everyone scares her so when she catches the eye of O'Connell, a hugely built boxer, it takes all of her courage not to hightail it out of town. O'Connell is not known for his gentle side being a boxer nor for his long term relationships but there is something about Emily that makes him want to be a better man and be the man she deserves. As he changes combined with the gentle attention he lavishes on Emily, we start to Emily emerge from her shell and become the confident woman that she really is.
There is such an amazing cast of supporting characters that become family to Emily and each and every one of them jump off the page at you. R.J. Prescott has created a world that is clearly defined in your own mind that when you finish reading it you will be left feeling the loss. It is a story that you can immerse yourself in fully and laugh, cry and fall in love with the characters. This has to be the best debut I have read in a long time and I am left wanting more from this talented author.
