Crankshaft by K.M. Neuhold

4.0

Like many of Neuhold’s other books, “Crankshaft” is the perfect mix of sweet, funny and steamy - and it’s a really strong start to the new series Big Bull Mechanics!

Porter and Steele’s story is low angst, and more of a slow burn romance since life keeps getting in their way. Neither of them have time for a relationship, both being business owners and having other struggles and commitments, but their chemistry is off the charts and feelings slowly develop between them.

Neither I nor Porter knew how much we needed a possessive, growly and hot mechanic in our lives. I'm thrilled that Porter found his man even if it took some drinks, time and a traffic accident to get them together. I mean, who even remembers grey sweatpants when there’s a tall, bearded and beastly mechanic wearing silver shorts?

It’s a book full of sweet moments that made me all giddy and smiley - and there were some seriously steamy scenes as well. The size difference, Porter being all toppy despite being smaller, Steele being all possessive and growly, and the fact that both of them excelled at dirty talk was just hot as hell.

I loved that both new and older characters appeared and it was so good to see some of the crew from Four Bears Constructions again. The connections and friendships were so wholesome and I can’t wait for more of these sweet mechanics to find their partners!
