MY REVIEW:

Ally is first seen in her sister’s book, which is in the Butterfly Bayou series. Where she was the younger sister and always in her sister’s shadow.

West has also been around for some time in the McKay-Taggart world as a body guard, but he doesn’t really have the same experience as the other guys in the firm.

West is put on Ally’s case and like the rest of the world has some misconceptions about her. Everyone thinks she’s a spoiled brat actress that just has a bad attitude and treat people horribly. And the paparazzi only add to the misconceived notions about her. And she doesn’t really care to change anyone’s mind about her.

“You know the world would be a way better place if we felt like being kind was like the norm.”

She’s honest and up front about it, she doesn’t beat around the bush or sugar coat anything and people tend to not like that. She’s a breathe of fresh air.

The point, though, is that first of all, I don’t have a bunch of tender feelings. I leave that to the big boss.” Taggart nodded. “I’m known for my delicate emotional state.”

West has had his fair share of dealing with celebs, politicians and rich people and lets just say he’s not fond of them. And how they treat people who don’t have as much money as them. Not to mention they believe they can have whatever they want, even if who they want doesn’t want them back.

So not only does he have to deal with their attitudes but he has to deal with them making advances on him. Which is not comfortable at all. When he meets Ally he just thinks she’s like all the rest of the celebs that believe they can do what they want and get away with it. He treats he rudely to say the least.

“The best way to avoid a troll is to not go over any bridges,” West said. “Some dude in a bar told me that. Of course, he also claimed to be a werewolf, but I did think it was relatable advice.

He doesn’t realize what he’s in for, he learns pretty quickly that she is nothing like what the paparazzi makes her out to be. And that’s not all she actually cares about other people and doesn’t treat them badly. He was completely wrong and it hits him.

“Not a lot about your life is fair. I’ll step back if you need me to, but I won’t stay away forever. You need me. You need me to balance out your life. You need me because I will put you first, because you will always be my priority. I love you, Allyson.”

I love the way Ally was unapologetically herself and didn’t live by what anyone else said she should.

I didn’t like that she didn’t stand up for herself when it came to her new role, but I understand sometimes you have to play the game until you can do better.

West seems to have a change of heart pretty quickly when he realizes that Ally isn’t what she’s made out to be.

I really like that West seemed to also find himself and what he wanted to do with his life in the process of taking care of Ally and he was able to pursue it with her.
