They don’t play for the same team. Or do they? 

     Jamie Canning has never been able to figure out how he lost his closest friend. Four years ago, his tattooed, wise-cracking, rule-breaking roommate cut him off without an explanation. So what if things got a little weird on the last night of hockey camp the summer they were eighteen? It was just a little drunken foolishness. Nobody died. 

     Ryan Wesley’s biggest regret is coaxing his very straight friend into a bet that pushed the boundaries of their relationship. Now, with their college teams set to face off at the national championship, he’ll finally get a chance to apologize. But all it takes is one look at his longtime crush, and the ache is stronger than ever. 

     Jamie has waited a long time for answers, but walks away with only more questions—can one night of sex ruin a friendship? If not, how about six more weeks of it? When Wesley turns up to coach alongside Jamie for one more hot summer at camp, Jamie has a few things to discover about his old friend... and a big one to learn about himself.

Two mechanics. One rivalry.

She’ll prove she’s as good as she says she is.

He’ll prove her place isn’t under the hood.

It’s over it.

​

     “Don’t let the b*****ds get you down.”

     For twenty-six years, I lived by my daddy’s motto. Which is why “Mechanic Wanted” is all it takes for me to apply for the job at the garage we once owned. 

     And I meet the biggest b*****d of them all.

     Dexter Ryne. Hotter than Hell in July and a firm believer that my place is on reception, taking phone calls and looking pretty. Not getting dirty under the hood of a car. 

     Determined to prove each other wrong, we make a deal.

     I have three weeks to prove my worth as a mechanic. If I don’t, I’m on telephone duty.

     If I do, he’ll accept defeat and make my job permanent. 

     Now, all I have to do is fight my attraction to the cocky little… beep.

     Problem is, an engine isn’t the only thing he knows how to make purr…

     I have read Emma Hart a few times and I've loved every one of those reads. This book although a fun and sexy read for some reason I didn't love as much as her other books.

     Not to say I didn't like it, I just for some reason was hung up on the fact that there were so many profanities on this read. Don't get me wrong I'm not a prude that can't handle the bad words on my reads, I just was too focused on that fact to actually enjoy the read.

     It might be the fact too that I was wondering how the narrators felt about saying them so much, lol.

     The story is about this woman Jamie to prove to Dexter that just because she dressed sexy and was very feminine didn't mean she couldn't do her job as a mechanic. That she could do it and do it better than him.

     There were many hilarious scenes and some hot scenes too and I am pretty sure I would have enjoyed this book (even give it 4 stars) if I had read it instead of listening to it.

     But lesson learned and really anything Emma Hart I recommend it if you are looking for a fun fast flirty read and don't mind the F-bomb being thrown around like it's candy.

     From strip clubs and truck stops to southern coast mansions and prep schools, one girl tries to stay true to herself.
     These Royals will ruin you…
     Ella Harper is a survivor—a pragmatic optimist. She’s spent her whole life moving from town to town with her flighty mother, struggling to make ends meet and believing that someday she’ll climb out of the gutter. After her mother’s death, Ella is truly alone.
     Until Callum Royal appears, plucking Ella out of poverty and tossing her into his posh mansion among his five sons who all hate her. Each Royal boy is more magnetic than the last, but none as captivating as Reed Royal, the boy who is determined to send her back to the slums she came from.
     Reed doesn’t want her. He says she doesn’t belong with the Royals.
     He might be right.
     Wealth. Excess. Deception. It’s like nothing Ella has ever experienced, and if she’s going to survive her time in the Royal palace, she’ll need to learn to issue her own Royal decrees.

     I saw this book by chance in one of the profiles of my friends at Goodreads. Curious as always, I read the introduction and it caught my attention. While reading this book I returned to Amazon to verify that I had read young adult somewhere. It seemed more erotic to me than anything.

     Let's start with Ella Harper, she's 17 and works as a stripper, come on, that was one of the things that caught my attention. And out of nowhere appears this benefactor who is very rich. It seemed sweet to me and at the same time, I thought I wanted to have something with the protagonist. She seemed to me to have been raised in the "streets" lack of will. The truth is that the author puts her as the adult between her mother and her. However, the way that sometimes acts seems to be quite the opposite.

     Reed, oh Reed, the author describes him as someone snobbish and who controls the school they attend. It seems to me that between her brothers and her father, Ella has a lot of testosterone in her life.

     There were parts that left me in complete shock because neither Megan Maxwell brings out as many erotic scenes in her novels as this author expounded. Talking about Megan she is Spanish author and I freaking love her. There were other parts that bored me a little. The truth is that despite everything, I finished it. And the only reason I started the second novel and why I give it 3.5 stars is by its end. I finish as I like it, I leave with curiosity, and as I mentioned, I am very curious. I'll tell you if I liked that and if I left it in my half. If you are interested in reading it, I will leave the link down below so you can purchase it.

     One handywoman.

     One single dad.

     One set of twins.

     And the wall isn’t the only thing being drilled…

     I learned the hard way that being a handywoman isn’t easy. The questions, the stares—the assumption I’m the proud owner of a cock and balls. Not that it matters. I’ve proven over and over that I’m ready for anything the judgmental asses throw at me.

     Except the hot, single dad of twins who just moved to town.

     Brantley Cooper gets the shock of his life when I show up on his doorstep to fix up his kids’ new rooms. His son is confused why ‘the pretty lady has a drill,’ and his daughter has a new obsession—me.

     On paper, my job is easy. Go in, do their bedrooms, and leave.

     In theory, I’m spending eight hours a day with a guarded, sexy as hell guy, and I’m staying for dinner more often than I’m eating it alone, on my couch, with Friends re-runs.

     I shouldn’t be staying for dinner. I shouldn’t be helping him out with the twins. I shouldn’t be falling in love with tiny toes and dimpled cheeks.

     Oops…

     This was a fun and light read from the very beginning. I could not put it down.

     Kali Hancock is a home builder (handywoman) running the family business since her dad is semi-retired. She is damned good at her job but many people don't see past the fact she is a woman. But her satisfaction comes when she proves them she can do the same job as a man if not better.

     When Brantley Cooper contacted Hancock Construction(?) to fix his twins' rooms he was not prepared for Kali. From that first meeting on every encounter between these two was fun and flirty and full of laughter.

     I fell in love with the twin's antics and they stole my heart with their banter and their occurrences. It was heartening watching how Kali fell piece by piece in love with this two and their hot dad. I think Ms. Hart made the right choice in making Kali fall in love first with Eli and Ellie because of her thinking on children.

     I cried a couple of times especially when Portia was telling Kali how she came to love her and accept her for the daughter she never had.

     Emma Hart is a new to me author and I will definitively be trying her again.
