  • SYNOPSIS:
    When Rory Macintosh’s roommates find out that their studious and shy friend has never been with a guy, they decide that, as an act of kindness they’ll help her lose her virginity by hiring confident, tattooed bad boy Tyler Mann to do the job…unbeknownst to Rory.



    Tyler has told Rory that he’s not good enough for her. She’s smart, doctor smart, while he’s barely scraping by at his EMT program, hoping to pull his younger brothers out of the hell their druggy mother has left them in. But he can’t seem to stay away from her, and even when Rory knows she should push him away, something about him makes it nearly impossible for her to resist—even though her heart is at stake…



    Torn between common sense and desire, the two find themselves caught up in a passionate relationship. But when Tyler’s broken family threatens to destroy his future, and hers, Rory will need to decide whether to cut her ties to his risky world or follow her heart, no matter what the cost…
     
    My Review:

    The synopsis for this New Adult novel does not do the story justice. The New Adult category has been receiving a lot of criticism lately, mainly because of the wanting plots and the over-consuming sexual adventures of the main characters. This, however, isn't a problem in True.

    Erin McCarthy managed to balance the amount of sexual interaction in the book to match the characters' personalities. Rory is intelligent, hard-working, and too be honest a bit too subdued and quiet. I loved her. She was frustrating and stubborn like the best female characters, and she kept at what she wanted. What I admire most about her character was how supportive she was of Tyler throughout the novel.

    Tyler grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. He's that guy that everyone automatically assumes is no good, without even a word spoken to him. He's the kind of boy that girls always eventually dream of having a fling with before settling down. The bad boy with the soft interior.

    Seems typical right? The good girl meets the bad boy and immediately falls head over heels in stupidity. These stories always end up with the girl realizing her self-worth and dumping her bad boy, usually for the cute good guy who lived next door.

    This does not happen in True. Rory is more than just a good girl and she's fiercely loyal, much like Tyler, who faces plenty of challenges in his own life, and is conflicted throughout much of the novel.

    He's also scorching hot. I mean, scorching hot. He's everything we've come to expect in our bad boy NA book crushes, and while True touches on the light, steamy stuff that leaves us blushing and fanning ourselves, it goes so much deeper.

    McCarthy gracefully touches on subjects like sexual assault, criminality, stereotypes, insecurity, and chronic drug use by balancing it love, sexuality, loyalty, and truth.

    I loved this novel and I rate it 5 stars.
