Maisie Szabo is a contradiction in pink—bold, brash, and hiding a secret soaked in blood.
Six months ago, she tracked down the mother who abandoned her… and walked into a nightmare. In a moldy warehouse, Maisie witnessed her mother’s murder and did the unthinkable to survive. Now she wears her trauma like armor—pink hair, sarcasm, and a refusal to let anyone too close.
Her father wants her to move on. Her conscience won’t let her. And her only escape is Oliver Mutton—the tattooed coworker who turns her self-control to ash. Their chemistry is wild, addictive, and anything but safe. But Oliver doesn’t want to be her distraction. He wants the truth.
When he demands her heart instead of her body, Maisie must face her darkest fear:
that the violence she survived is already inside her.
Pretty Pink is a steamy, gut-wrenching steamy thriller about love, trauma, and the danger of finally being seen.
Twinsie Angie Review
I purchased this book from Amazon.
The authors emailed to ask if we could run a promotion for their books. I said sure. I grabbed this one and sat down to read it. I will say I really had no clue what I was in for, and to be honest, that was kind of refreshing. I will say this book had some heavy topics as the main character deals with abandonment and loss, but it was a good read.
Maisie is a great female complex character. She is dealing with a lot on her plate, and her lack of independence from her father. Oliver swoops in to connect with her, but Maisie is not in the headspace for the connection. Grief can be a bitch, can’t it?
I did enjoy watching Maisie come around and address the issue that was keeping her from moving forward with her life and love.
