Review
4 Stars!

Mackenzie, or Mac, has just moved to the town of Maverick, and she has decided that she is just going to try to survive this year, her senior year of high school, until she can get away from her family and get to college. Her home life is a daily struggle, and her dad continues to lose jobs, causing them to move around a lot, so she doesn't even have much to depend on outside of herself. That all changes in Maverick, though.

Hayes is sort of the town golden boy, although, he is also a huge jerk. What do you get when you mix an extremely hot, athletic, wealthy boy who is the son of the town judge, and plenty of girls that let him walk all over him? You get Hayes - jerky playboy. When he meets Mackenzie on the first day of school, however, he sees the brokenness in her. He's usually the "hit it and quit it" type, but he actually gets to know Mackenzie, or Mac, as he calls her, and he feels so drawn to protect her. 

Hayes and Mac form a friendship, first, because neither one of them knows how to be in a relationship. They are both drawn to one another, and slowly fall into a relationship that is much more than friendship. One thing that really bothered me is that Hayes is really a jerk to all of the girls that he has slept with, like verbally abusive kind of jerk, and this doesn't put Mac off in any way. She is definitely a product of her homelife and upbringing, in that her self-worth is basically at ground zero. She doesn't even hit pause, though, when she witnesses how Hayes can be. Hayes is completely different with Mac, though, so it's possible that there is that one person for everyone. 

Life has never been easy for Mac, though, and that pattern just continues. The problems that she had before meeting Hayes are still there, and they will try to tear the two apart. Can these two make it, even though everything around them has destined for them to fail?
