Needing Her by Molly McAdams
3.0
Needing her by Molly McAdams is a William Morrow Impulse publication. I was provided a copy of the his book in exchange for an honest review.
Maci has some super overprotective brothers who have a tendency to scare off any potential boyfriends. But, the truth is Maci hasn't really cared all that much until now. She has been in love with a good friend of her brothers named Connor. ( Some of you may know Connor from a previous installment in this series) Conner is going a through a really hard time as he recovers from a relationship that didn't quite work out in his favor. Maci is spending time with Bryce who is more of a friend with benefits type guy. The relationship is obviously going nowhere and so Maci's friend Amber thinks it's time to shake things up a little.
Connor had a really difficult life growing up and and is beset by many fears because of it. Maci has put up a wall around herself so that she behaves as though she is tough and doesn't care, but of course she is much softer than she puts on.
The story is told in dual first person, so you get Connor's point and then Maci's. I was not sure if this was New Adult or Contemporary Romance, so I am going out on a limb and say this story will appeal to lovers of both genres, perhaps more so for the New Adult audience.
I liked this one, but the situation with the brothers was a little ridiculous and Maci should have set the record straight with them long ago. Once you are an adult your brothers shouldn't get a say in who you date. That was perhaps the part I had the most trouble with. That and Maci allowing them to control her love life without so much as making a peep. So, I had some issues with the characters in this one. I liked Connor and understood his reluctance to push the issue with Maci due to his background. Overall this is not a bad story, but it's not a book I would re-read or gushingly recommend to others. I think it appeals to a certain audience but it didn't overwhelm me. So, I'm going with a 3 on this one.
