After reading Make It Count, I wasn’t so sure that I could get behind Max as a hero to root for; he did a pretty stunning job of being a totally dreadful boyfriend to Kat. I felt like Megan Erickson had her work cut out for her to bring me around to liking him. She picked my weak spot – she had Max adopt a stray cat and make it homemade cat treats! How on Earth was I going to hold a grudge after that!?
I liked how Max stayed true to himself through Make It Right, and I enjoyed digging a little deeper into his character – finding out what made him tick and why he had been so moody. I also loved that his girl, Lea, was a tough cookie with her own problems and a disability to boot. It was great to see how she coped with that, and how Max responded, and yet it didn’t take over the story at all. Max’s character development was also a real treat, and as he and Lea get closer, the heat definitely goes up! This is a true New-Adult book and not for younger readers.
It’s a great second instalment to the Bowler University series, and I would definitely recommend it for some sizzle by the pool this summer!
Max Payton lives by two rules:
Size and strength win any fight, and never show weakness.
When a rash of assaults sends Bowler University for a tail spin, Max volunteers to help teach a self-defense class. One of the other instructors is the beautiful pixie-faced girl he keeps butting heads with…and who challenges everything he thought he knew.
Lea Travers avoids guys like Max - cocky jocks who assume she's fragile because of a disability caused by a childhood accident. She likes to be in control, and something about being with Max makes her feel anything but. But during the moments he lets his guard down, Lea sees a soul as broken inside as she is outside. Trusting him is a whole other problem...
When the assaults ramp up and hit close to home, Lea and Max must learn, before it’s too late, that true strength can come from vulnerability…and giving in to trust is sometimes the only way to make things right.
This was my first Megan Erickson and the first NA book that I really liked. I had never read the other book in the series so I didn't realize Max was a character in the previous book
