Two mechanics. One rivalry.

She’ll prove she’s as good as she says she is.

He’ll prove her place isn’t under the hood.

It’s over it.

 

“Don’t let the bastards get you down.”

For twenty-six years, I lived by my daddy’s motto. Which is why “Mechanic Wanted” is all it takes for me to apply for the job at the garage we once owned.

And I meet the biggest bastard of them all.

Dexter Ryne. Hotter than Hell in July and a firm believer that my place is on reception, taking phone calls and looking pretty. Not getting dirty under the hood of a car.

Determined to prove each other wrong, we make a deal.

I have three weeks to prove my worth as a mechanic. If I don’t, I’m on telephone duty.

If I do, he’ll accept defeat and make my job permanent.

Now, all I have to do is fight my attraction to the cocky little… beep.

Problem is, an engine isn’t the only thing he knows how to make purr…

Jamie Bell is a mouthy, strong, stubborn, confident feisty firecracker who knows anything and everything about cars. She grew up in a garage and worked in one until her family was forced to sell the family business. She has been looking for work but unfortunately gets the cold shoulder in her profession because she’s a woman.

Dexter Ryne runs his grandfathers garage which happens to be Jamie’s dads old one. He needs a mechanic and the only mechanic around happens to be Jamie. Imagine his surprise when she strolls in there for her job interview. He is sexy, snarky and a bit bullheaded.

When Dex and Jamie make a little bet on a trial run at the garage will these two be able to not chuck a wrench at one another’s heads? Someone may just need stitches after just one day. Jamie doesn’t back down, neither does Dex but is it because he truly doesn’t want a woman working in his garage or is it because he doesn’t a woman that looks like Jamie working in his garage? They are both hot tempered, smart mouthed and more alike than they realize. The instant tension with these two is undeniable and you know its only a matter of time before someone’s engine starts revving!

I loved this cute, fun, entertaining read! I adored the main characters and the secondary ones as well. Jamie and Dex’s friends and family are insane! Another great rom-com from Emma Hart that is sure to win your heart!

“Can I help you?” I asked.
He blinked and met my eyes.
“What the hell are you doing over there?” I pushed to stand up straight.
“Right now?” He capped his water bottle. “Well, honestly… I’m just thinking you’d look better over the hood of that car than under it.”
I unhooked the hood and slammed it down, spinning on the balls of my feet.
Our eyes met properly. I didn’t like what I saw in his—desire, attraction, need. Which was obviously why a shiver ran down my spine.
I cocked a hip, putting my hand on it. “The only time you will ever get me over a hood of a car is if a wiper blade needs changing. So, unless you’re a wiper blade…”
Dex pulled his phone from his pocket and started tapping the screen.
I blinked. “What are you doing?”
He peered up at me through his unfairly thick eyelashes. “Seeing if I can get a wiper blade costume for Halloween.”
“I don’t even know how to respond to that.”
“You can buy wiper blade glasses.”
“What?”
He raised his eyebrows. “And a lady here on eBay will hand-make any costume. There’s my Halloween sorted.”
I stared at him. “You’re not getting me over anything, Dex. Definitely not a car hood. No matter what you think.”
He clutched his chest dramatically. “You wound me.”
“Unfortunately not fatally,” I muttered.
“You also underestimate me.”
“There’s a lot of that going around in this garage.” I put the bottle of coolant away.
“Touché.”
“Thank you.”
“Can I ask you something?”
I sighed and turned to face him again. “What?”
Earnestly, he asked, “Can you stop wearing those tiny shorts? Or yoga pants that make me want to touch your ass every five minutes?”
I looked down at the ripped shorts of my dungarees. “Can you keep your thoughts to yourself? Control yourself, maybe? Not look at me and see someone worth screwing?”
