Can a young girl who has known nothing but a life of crime give it up for a man?
Tara Evans' father raised her from the age of nine until she became a young woman. Wyatt wasn't any ordinary father either. He brings Tara into the "lifestyle" from the time she is young, and he is very possessive and psychotic about her growing up.
Tara grows up and decides she needs more than what Wyatt can give her. She needs to find herself--and a man of her own, someone more normal than her father. They pull the heist of the century, and what happens after this is pure Mother Nature. Tara meets a guy, or maybe Max just happened to be at the right place at the right time for Tara. Max immediately falls for her and Tara takes him on a wild ride, a sort of rebellion for Max towards his father, who is the sheriff in the last town that Wyatt and Tara attempt to pull off the biggest crime of their lives.
As Tara takes Max under her wing and introduces him to the only lifestyle she has known, she brings in the specific rules that helped Wyatt and her get through each hold up. Max records all the rules and little snippets that his father has tried to enforce over his lifetime.
Even with a different man in her life, can Tara really give up her life of crime? Read 47 Rules to find out if Tara and Max live happily ever after or continue on a new wave of crimes.
Armchair Interviews says: The story was a bit predictable in that the "good guy" always wins, but it is an enjoyable read, nonetheless.
