I grew up with a mechanic in my house. Reading a book about a garage seemed like a lot of fun. However, This mechanic had the same name as my father and that was a big issue for me. Since they called im Duke, I decided to read on.
My biggest issues are:
1. The way Duke speaks. I grew up in a small country town. I understand slang and accents, etc but the narrator just did not handle it well.
2. In a small town, there is no way they would have been able to sneak around at all. Someone would have seen the truck outside her house or would have burst into the office at the garage.
3. The brother and the best friend. I'm just leaving this here.
It was an okay story. I liked the characters but the story was a little flat.

I liked the idea of this novel and saw great potential but unfortunately it felt somewhat flat. It would have been better if there was actually built up in creating the relationship Tanner and Duke because there was definitely chemistry there instead of the wham, bam thank you madam type of romance. Everything was rushed and the obviously the leads emotions flared up quick. Generally speaking this was a mediocre read with not much excitement.

Reminds me strongly of Lauren Dane, with strong family and friendship ties.

I enjoyed this new series from Vanessa North. I'm always a sucker for series where each sibling gets a book and I'm assuming that's how this one is gonna go. And what i loved even more was that it'll be mixed pairings cuz some of them are queer!
I don't know a darn thing about cars but the setting of the car shop was a great backdrop for this story. I wasn't lost about anything they were discussing when it came to the shop.
Tanner and Duke don't get along at first so we got the classic who does she think she is coming in here, after being away for so long, to fancy up the place. And by fancy up i mean the new uniforms lol. I always enjoy that push and pull between MCs.
The secondary characters are also intriguing without overshadowing the mains, so of course I'm looking forward to knowing how their romances will play out. I think we already got a few hints as to who Tanner's brother Tyler will hook up with but I guess we shall see!!
So this was an enjoyable read for me.
