Emily McCarthy had a rough past. She is now living on her own and working in a diner while attending school at the same time. She doesn't trust men and she is scarred of them too. She has developed a relationship with Danny, the owner of Driscoll's Boxing Gym and coach to a bunch of guys her age. He offers her a job at his place. He needs someone to help him with his books. She loves math so she can't turn away this opportunity. 
 Cormac "The Hurricane" O'Connell is devoted to his boxing career. Although, he parties too much and plays the field non-stop. Everything changes when he meets Emily. She makes him want to be better. His party days are over . He's determined to show her that he can be the man she can trust and care for. 
 "You kissed me," O'Connell called after me. "Friends don't kiss." 
 "I'm reliably informed that's not the case. Kieran and I kiss all the time,"

 This was a beautiful story. I could relate to Emily's pain and distrust. The person who was supposed to protect her above all failed her miserably. 
 What I liked the most about Emily was that she was able to overcome her shyness and distrust with the help of a bunch of tall, dangerous looking men. By the end of the book, she felt comfortable in her own skin and she was able to put them in their place too. 
 Cormac had a dumb moment. Just one. I forgave him as soon as Emily did. He tried to show her his love for her in many ways. He was patient and sweet. He was protective and respectful. 
 The best part of this book is that I want to read the rest of the guys HEAs. They need one. Maybe bridal store girl and Kieran can get one?? 
 "There really wasn't any point in continuing to pretend that our relationship was just friendship. For some crazy reason, O'Connell had chosen me, and like the hurricane that he was, he'd blown into my life whether I was ready for him or not."
