Make It Right: A Bowler University Novel

by Megan Erickson

Overview

Max Payton lives by two rules:
Size and strength win any fight, and never show weakness.

When a rash of assaults sends Bowler University into a tailspin, Max volunteers to help teach a self-defense class. One of the other instructors is the beautiful, pixie-faced girl he keeps butting heads with … and who challenges everything he thought he knew.

Lea Travers avoids guys like Max—cocky jocks who assume she's fragile because of a disability caused by a childhood accident. She likes to be in control, and something about being with Max makes her feel anything but. During the moments he lets his guard down, Lea sees a soul as broken inside as she is outside. Trusting him is a whole other problem …

When the attacks ramp up and hit close to home, Lea and Max must learn, before it's too late, that true strength can come from vulnerability … and giving in to trust is sometimes the only way to make things right.

About the Author

Megan Erickson grew up in a family that averages 5’5” on a good day and started writing to create characters who could reach the top kitchen shelf.

She’s got a couple of tattoos, has a thing for gladiators, and has been called a crazy cat lady. After working as a journalist for years, she decided she liked creating her own endings better and switched back to fiction.

She lives in Pennsylvania with her husband, two kids, and two cats. And no, she still can’t reach the stupid top shelf.

Editorial Reviews

10/10/2014
Max Payton has the strong and flirtatious thing down, but he has never really ventured successfully into the boyfriend zone. That is until he met his match in Lea Travers. Both college students at Bowler University, Max knows of Lea, the gorgeous girl with a limp, through the same group of friends, although they have never been chummy toward each other. When they are forced together by a string of campus attacks that has them both assisting in a self-defense class, their banter leads to a date and more. Max, who was brought up by an emotionally distant father and was always taught to stand strong, discovers that this sassy girl has a pull on his heart. But the conflicts in his home life might destroy any chance he has of a future with the only woman who has ever made him want to be a better man.
Verdict Erickson (Make It Count) creates a strong female lead in Lea, who is not only emotionally flawed but also has to deal with a physical shortcoming that she battles with gusto. Additionally, dealing with the internal conflict of finding who you are versus what is expected of you is a pivotal moment in college life that the author handles in a relatable way. Another enjoyable series that is carving out its niche in new adult romance.—Kara Kohn, Plainfield P.L, IL
