With Revved to the Maxx, Moreland created a story I didn’t want to put down. It was sweet, well written, and kept me interested.
When we meet the heroine of the story, Charly, we find that she’s been cheated
by her roommate and has fallen on hard times. Add in her creepy landlord, and
we get a character that desperately needs to get out of her current situation.
Then living hours away in a small town, we meet Maxx who’s also had quite the
difficult and depressing life as of late. He writes out an add and posts it
online to a job website and winds up finding Charly, whom he assumes is a guy.
However, not realizing Charly is a woman, Maxx hires her. They hookup the night
before Charly is supposed to actually go to work for Maxx, and when Maxx finds
Charly waiting for him, he’s not at all pleased. From there, we find that he
begrudgingly gives Charly a chance and their story unfolds resulting in them
having a rather complicated relationship throughout most of the book. In the
end though, we get our happily ever after.
What I loved most about this book was how likable and well-developed Charly and
Maxx are. I find that a lot of the time with romance books written from the
perspective of both the main characters that one or both will fall flat. That’s
not the case with Charly and Maxx. Both have fully developed personalities and
backstories, and I really enjoyed them.
The story was well thought out too. Moreland did a solid job of developing the
story completely and at a good pace. It tends to drive me a little nuts when I
read a story and I’m left wondering why there are holes in the plot or why it
took so long to get to the interesting parts. I didn’t think this was the case
with this book.
The one thing I’m not really into with this book is the title. I’m just not
sure I would’ve given it a chance if all I had to go on was that. I received
this book as an ARC and began to read it because of that, but I’m so glad I
did. From the start of the book, it kept me wanting to keep reading. Because of
Revved to the Maxx, I’ll be reading other Moreland titles. I definitely
recommend this book.
