Spin off series love - they are kinda a fave of mine as we get to see all the 'side' characters get their own stories.

Steele and Porter ( who we met in Four Bears Construction) time is not their friend with busy lives but they end up with a HEA anyway.

More Neuhold gold

I held out as long as I could, but I finally caved. Another great read from Neuhold - likeable characters, decent plot and dialogue between characters and as always, sizzling chemistry. It’s a winner folks!

Crankshaft

Steele and Porter

I'm so happy for Porter! I love that he got a book of his own finally. I love how the author gave him his dream guy. Having met Porter in the Four Bears Construction series I was pleasantly surprised by how not shy he was

Quick easy read.

This story went quickly and was sunshine and unicorns. Perfect summer reading. I read the Four Bears series. Now I'm going to read these.

I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read more in this series. I also clearly need to go back and read the Bears Construction books. This is a wonderful portrayal of two people with crazy, hectic lives and too many obligations who don’t believe they have time for a relationship falling into a relationship ship and finding happiness and love and someone to share their lives and their burdens with.

Porter is a recently graduated veterinarian who owns his own clinic after buying it from the doctor who he interned with. He’s stressed, financially strapped, and overworked as well as unsure of himself. Steele is a mechanic who owns his own garage and is busy, stressed, and constantly worried about the people he needs to take care of in his life. When they meet (again) in a bar and have a unique first night together a friendship forms which turns into friends with benefits and ultimately a life together. It’s sweet, fun, mostly low angst, with a bunch of interfering, busybody friends. 

We’ve got age gap, friends to lovers, found family, hurt/comfort among other tropes to enjoy. I read the book in one sitting and am looking forward to the next one.

Soldily enjoyable. Porter is sweet, his dynamic with Steele is sexy and warm, and I enjoyed the sex.

I really liked other books by KM, but this one really did nothing for me, there is nothing unique about this story or dynamic
