Description
RESCUED the stunning conclusion to the Wrecked series will be released on February 24th, 2014
A New Adult Romance Novel by USA Today Bestselling Author Priscilla West
“There would be no happy ending for us. He was too damaged. I was too broken.”
Two years ago, Lorrie’s mother was murdered. But that wasn’t the end of it. Reeling from the tragedy, Lorrie’s father spiraled into alcohol, depression, and finally suicide.
The two most important people in Lorrie’s life are both gone but she’s still alive.
Trying to recover from the tragedy, Lorrie returns to campus, ready to pick up the pieces of her life. All Lorrie wants is to get back to “normal.”
Then she meets Hunter. The man, the legend, “The Hammer.”
Hunter is a cage fighter who takes on every fight like he’s got nothing to lose. His life is a tangled mess of girls, booze, and fist fights. And while it may seem like he’s got a devil-may-care attitude, he’s fighting a private cage-match with a monster he can’t defeat.
Lorrie knows that Hunter is exactly the type of guy she should stay away from, especially in her fragile state, but Hunter has other ideas.
As Hunter and Lorrie grow closer together, will they be able to overcome their pain and heal each other? Or will they both end up wrecked?
GENRE: Mature New Adult Romance (18+)

OMG!!! I am beyond upset with how the book ended. I must say first that this is a MUST READ!!! but I didnt realize that there is a book 2. Thats my fault. I didnt further investigate this book before I started it like I normally do. I fell in love with the story. Characters, plot etc. Ive already told my reading buddies about this book. So I told them they have to read this story.
Lorrie has been through so much with her parents death. Their is a secret behind them. Which I wont say. Hunter has a secret too. He has been through alot as well even more perhaps. Tragic, heartfelt love story. Words cant describe how much I love this book. I finished it last night and this morning I am sill reeling from it. Withdrawals!!! OMG!!! The sex is very very steamy and so is the kissing. Naughty parts as well.. Dramatic, steamy, fall in love story, 5 stars definately, should 10 stars.
Wrecked. Priscilla West Review from Jeannie Zelos Book Reviews.
Occasionally I like a foray into the new adult market. I love plenty of angst in my reading, and usually this provides it. Wel,l Wrecked sounded a good candidate so I began it looking forward to some heavy emotion. And it delivered! Lorrie – ah Lorrie, she's trying so hard to pick up her life after the tragedy of her parents death and the ensuing scandals. A real tough time for her, but she's trying to move on. She's not ready to date though – just day to day living provides more than enough for her to get through, without adding relationships into the mix. Then she meets Hunter, in an unusual way. There's an attraction on both sides, but he respects her decision that they will be just friends. Hunter has some hidden secrets too though, and combined with Lorrie's problems will they prove too much for them? Hunter – the campus man all the girls want, cage fighter, tattooed, laid back – he's all the things girls like Lorrie need to avoid. Yet underneath he's a different person, and he desperately wants to get closer to Lorrie. I love the dance of two people attracted to each other and yet running away from it – its two steps forward, one back, a sensual tangle of words and actions. Slowly events pile up, until without my noticing they've become on the verge of a relationship. There was some intense drama here – I loved that. I loved Hunter too, but at times found Lorrie irritating. Maybe that’s harsh on my part as she had so much to get over from her past, and she seemed to be doing it and moving on with Hunter into a relationship, and then it all went badly wrong..Arghh – I wanted angst and I got it in spades! This book is really moving when things go awry, and I felt so much for both of them. It was as if life was conspiring against them :( There's a part two – and regular readers of my reviews will know how I hate the cliffhangers! Gah! Thankfully though Priscilla gives us a strong indication of what's going to happen, and some hope for the two, and a really good point is that this is out in Dec 2013 and book two soon after in early 2014, so hopefully not too long to wait. When readers have to wait months – sometimes more than a year – I find books lose their momentum, and when second or third parts finally released I have to go back and remind myself of the story, and somehow it never quite gels properly. Still, a couple of months is fine so I hope that the release date stays, and doesn't get – as happens too often – postponed. It's a good long book too at 350 pages, I love that so we can really get to know characters and background issues. I don't yet have price info. Stars: loved this book, five stars.
