Hell on wheels meets hell in high heels.
Bad boy mechanic Josh Stone likes to get his hands dirty any way
he can—the filthier, the better. Ever since his wife walked out on him and
their young son, he’s only had room in his heart for two loves: the kid and
cars.
Roped into playing his best buddy’s gay boyfriend during a
romance writers convention, the player meets the girl who’s gonna rock his
world. Leelee Songchild. Shy, bashful, beautiful Leelee who blushes at the drop
of a hat yet writes hardcore smut to rival Josh’s backlist of Penthouse
Forum.
The only problem is his hands are tied. Josh can’t stab his old
friend/fake lover in the back even though all he wants to do is take luscious
Leelee to bed, and maybe, love her. When the truth comes out, all hell breaks
loose.
Too bad romance is just for books.
My review
I had so much fun reading this book, over-half of it I was
grinning or laughing. There were a lot of LOL moments, especially between Josh
and Nicky- not to mention the mechanics from Stone’s who love to rile Josh up
from miles away, and the crazy, lovely women in the book conference – this book
has been a blast.
What can’t you not
do for a friend?
I can’t believe alpha, bad-boy, uber sexy mechanic Josh
Stone agreed to be his best buddy’s gay conference during a romance writer’s
convention. Both of them were hotter than the sun, and seeing them together
would surely break a lot of hearts. But Nick needed this, to protect himself
from the gropers and the stalkers and the unwanted attention he gets from the
opposite sex. Being a great friend, Josh
agreed to it. All he wanted to do was to help his friend, what he didn’t expect
is to meet an author who can rock his world at first sight.
Left with a child to take care of, Josh life circulates
on his shop, his beloved car and his baby boy. I adore him as a father. Even though
his wife left the both of them, he did try his best to be the father that JJ
needed. He was a great dad who puts his son needs first rather than his own.
But how can he put his moves on Leelee when he was busy
playing a role being his best friend’s gay boyfriend? How can he prove to her
that he’s not gay? Leelee has been burned, and him giving out mixed signals was
making her confused too. It was apparent that she wanted him too, but she was
holding out. How can he tell her that he wants her, when he was doing a favor
to his friend?
He was in between a rock and a hard place, and I wonder
how he can possibly get out of it without pissing off two important people in
his lives.
A few people would do this kind of stuff for friends, and
that’s why I love Josh. This was completely out of his element, but he agreed
to it, and made the best out of it. His generosity could speak numbers, and for
that Nick is lucky to have him as a best friend. As for Leelee, you’d
understand her predicament and her skepticism about Josh, after what she had
been through, she needed to be careful. But out shy, and bashful girl turned
out to be a little feisty. I was glad she knew how to fight her battles, and
grew a backbone in the near end.
If you want a good laugh, a great romance, and a sizzling
read – this one is a perfect pick.

Excerpt
“I figured you for
more of Chili Peppers fan.” Her rosebud lips burst into a teasing smile.
“Chet Baker, old
school all the way, babe.” I leaned in those last few inches, licking the crest
of her mouth, snicking her with a gentle bite of teeth.
“That explains the
fedora then.”
I tugged the brim
lower before angling in for another short pull on her lips.
Heat, sex, need
raced between us, speeded by the fuel of shared memories.
This is it. The feeling of being all
alone, together. It raced up my spine and pounded through my body, slamming
right into my heart. What my folks had, I’d only experienced with Leelee. The
night of the tango, in a roomful of people, we’d been intent on each other. She
was heaven in my arms and I wanted nothing more, no one else.
“You miss your
dad,” she said.
I flipped my hat
onto the bar. “All the damn time, darlin’. But I don’t want to miss you. Not
tomorrow, not the next day.”
She moved closer
to whisper, “And it explains the Dancing
with the Stars moves. You really are a romantic.”
I never would’ve
thought so before her. Guiding her off the stool and between my legs, I
growled, “Only for you, babe.”
She shifted back a
couple steps, offering her hand. “Dance with me.”
“I think that’s my
line.” I brought her hand to my chest. Warm and soft, her hip filled my palm,
her skirt rustling between us. Leaning down, I nipped her shoulder, drinking
her body in.
“I’m re-writin’
it.” Her body aligned perfectly with mine.
“For All We Know”
began. There was nothing but the song and the sway of our bodies around the
emptied room. Bartenders watched, quieting their movements as they cleaned up
around us.
Wrapped around
each other, we danced. Her hand skimmed up my back, mine slipped to her neck.
Our lips hovered but no kisses were taken.
Leelee’s cheek lay
against mine—her soft to my rough. “Sing to me?”
No candles, no one
else, my voice rumbled with the rich tones of old times. There was no fancy
footwork, only feeling. And she felt so fucking good in my arms.
The music ended
slowly. My hands snuck up her back, holding her against me, unwilling to let
go.
The author
Rie is the badass, sassafras author of Sugar Daddy and the Don’t Tell series–a breakthrough trilogy that crosses traditional publishing boundaries beginning with In His Command. Her latest endeavor, the Carolina Bad Boys series, is fun, hot, and southern-sexy.
A Yankee transplant who has traveled the world, Rie started
out a writer—causing her college professor to blush over her erotic poetry

paintbrushes and followed her other love during her twenties. From art school
to marriage to children and many a wild and wonderful journey in between, Rie
has come home to her calling. Her work has been called edgy, daring, and some of the sexiest smut around.
