When Drix was convicted of a crime--one he didn't commit--he thought his life was over. But opportunity came with the new Second Chance Program, the governor's newest pet project to get delinquents off the streets, rehabilitated and back into society. Drix knows this is his chance to get his life back on track, even if it means being paraded in front of reporters for a while.

Elle knows she lives a life of privilege. As the governor's daughter, she can open doors with her name alone. But the expectations and pressure to be someone she isn't may be too much to handle. She wants to follow her own path, whatever that means.

When Drix and Elle meet, their connection is immediate, but so are their problems. Drix is not the type of boy Elle's parents have in mind for her, and Elle is not the kind of girl who can understand Drix's messy life.

But sometimes love can breach all barriers.

Fighting against a society that can't imagine them together, Drix and Elle must push themselves--Drix to confront the truth of the robbery, and Elle to assert her independence--and each other to finally get what they deserve.

Let me start with my fangirling. I am a HUGE McGarry fan. I thought her Pushing the Limits books were great, but I was initially unsure about her Thunder Road books. Then, I heard her speak on a panel at UtopiaCon (2015), and I was so moved by her story, I knew I had to read them. You know what? I ended up loving an MC series. Who knew!

So, this pictures is from UtopiaCon, and the best part was, this was so random. We were eating lunch, and Katie McGarry came and sat at the big table where we were in the lobby. She was so nice and it was a big highlight for me. I was mad that I did not have any books with me for her to sign, but at least she took a picture with Sloth. 

Why I Want to Read This Book:

1. So, I guess you know by now, that I want to read this book, because McGarry wrote it. 
2. This book is about second chances. In my heart, I hope that we all get a do-over of some sort, and if one gets the chance, I hope they really take advantage of it. This sounds like a great second chance story. 
3. I also love the idea of a reformed criminal getting involved with the governor's daughter. That right there will be a great source of drama. 
4. It also seems that both characters will experience some significant growth during this story, which is a big thing for me when I read YA. 
5. It sounds like there will be a little mystery in there too as Drix tries get to the truth about the robbery. 

Katie McGarry has never failed to deliver a solid story for me, and I know I will definitely be reading this one.

What are you waiting on?
