Publisher Description
*** EROTIC/CONTEMPORARY ***
"The woman was pure innocence compared to his twisted tastes. She was a sweet vanilla flower in a field of dead roses. And he was the disease that wanted to cripple the flower until its petals wilted."
Stephanie Drake, or Steph as she’s known to her friends, is lost. Somewhere between the end of her childhood, and the day her loser of a boyfriend called it quits on their so-called relationship, she forgot who she was. She lives each day in a perpetual routine, stuck in the confines of her normal, safe life. If she doesn’t take a risk, she won’t get hurt—right?
Then she meets Pete—or Pistol to his friends.
He’s blunt, arrogant, and straight forward about what he wants. And as it turns out, he wants her.
Should she take a walk on the wild side, risk being burnt, and lay her heart on the line? Something in the way he makes her feel tells her ‘yes’, but her friends aren’t so sure this emotionally shut-off man has a place in her life. Why should she listen to them, though? After all, they don’t know a thing about him ...
... do they?

Bring on book 2
So I stumbled upon this juicy morsal going through my iBooks app, it was free at the time & there was something about it that caught my eye...
Pistol is book 1 in the Banjaxed series... were we meet Steph, an inked Rockabilly chick, who just finished a 2 year relationship with a douche, and we meet Pete (Pistol) an Irish inked hottie, who is drawn to Steph like a moth is to a flame (don't forget the accent).
Max has done an awesome job in writting about an intensely real relationship. It is a romance but not the kind we normally read, I mean come on who wants lovey dovey romance where everything is perfect all the time??? If you answer with ME... then look elsewhere this isn't Disney! And I feel that it is better than what Disney can offer!!
It's about a girl who is going through self growth & doubt after 1 man breaks her and don't get me started with the lack of support from her parents, we see her learn what she wants in her life but is too affraid to ask for it. And a boy who knows what he is but doesn't want to end up like his father or mother (in this case I can agree with him).
Thank you Max for a truly hipnotic book, it drew me in & I was stuck needing to read the whole book in 1 sitting (which is pretty much what I've done). It ended on a sort of a cliffy, but I can totally see myslef grabbing a hold of book 2.
Waste of time
It felt like it was written by 2 authors with very opposing ideas! All over the place... The main male character was not a bad boy that could be a book boyfriend - he was a psycho murderer! I couldn't find any redeeming qualities. Nothing really happens and then boom, have to buy the second book to continue this saga. Don't waste your time.
Amazing
I couldn't put this book down! Read it from start to finish in a single day just loved it. Can't wait for the next installment of Pete and Steps and see where it will take me.. Keep up the great writing Max
