Making the cut is not your average romance, so before you do jump into it, keep that in mind. 
 This was my first read from Mr. Hildreth. He gave us a more in depth real life storyline, which made me appreciate the book a bit more. Axton and Avery were very likeable and realistic; their personalities are what made the book. Avery was very real, down to her insecurities and self-esteem issues toward her body were interesting, let me explain my thoughts on this. In almost every Heroine we meet, we know they are either a mess with their life issues, money, work, relationships, but Mr. Hildreth took a step beyond. When I read Avery's thoughts about her body I was thinking. "Ugh. Really? She is complaining about what she doesn't have and what she wants to make her looks better." But the more that it sunk in I realized that we as women do that to ourselves more than we care to admit. (I can admit to have doing that more than a few times.) So I connected with Avery on that aspect of her character. 
 Axton was such a man. And I mean that in a good way, he is stubborn, smart, funny, and such a real man when it comes to his emotions, which killed me because I wanted him to open up more, but that just isn't Axton. While running his MC there are so many issues and deals that are starting to open up the storyline to the "Selected Sinners MC." 
 Yes, there is Romance, but it is unorthodox. And that was more than ok with me. The chemistry and storyline builds up before any sexual advances are made on both parts. (I don't know how they both lasted that long.) 
 Overall, I enjoyed "Making the Cut" and will enjoy reading more from Scott Hildreth.
