Cute MM romance with older MC

3.5 ⭐ rounded up for Rear Ended by KM Neuhold, book #4 in the Big Bull Mechanics series.

Auggie is feeling that maybe it's a case of "always the bridesmaid, never the bride" for him as more of his friends pair up with the loves of their lives. When he sees an uncomfortably out-of-place older bear-type in a gay bar and ends up taking him home for a hot hook-up, he's not that surprised when the guy runs off after. But then he turns up at work, the new office manager for the Big Bull Mechanics.

Henry's life has been turned upsidedown. With the loss of his company, high-flying workaholic city lifestyle, and the money to maintain it, he's forced to have a good luck at himself. A hookup turns uncomfortable first day when he meets Auggie again. But Henry doesn't think he has anything to offer someone, and doesn't plan to stay in a small town. So when he and Auggie start hooking up again, the plan is to keep it casual. But best laid plans...

This was a really cute, low angst, moderately spicy story with a look at what is important in life. The found family of the Big Bull Mechanics is as cute as ever. I just didn't feel as invested in these two as some of the previous books.

In this you'll find: MM romance with spice; 2 gay MCs; an older MC with a lack of self worth; a middle age life change with job loss and homelessness; a sweet tattooed small town mechanic; found family; a 5k color race; and a HEA.
