A few months ago when I read "Crankshaft" by K.M. Neuhold, I wanted to immediately know what was going on with Gates and Tallahassee. Luckily, the second book (titled: "Stroker") in the Big Bull Mechanics series is all about them.
["Is there an easy way to tell your lifelong best friend that you secretly married his brother eight years ago? Asking for a friend…
When Gates shows up needing a place to crash, I offer him my spare room. Whatever happened between us nearly two decades ago is water under the bridge. I don’t lie awake at night wondering what could have been. Nope, definitely not.But Gates seems determined to get a rise out of me. He’s tie-dyed all my clothes, removed my bedroom door, and replaced my hand soap with lube. I’m not sure if he’s hoping I’ll kick him out or kill him, but he won’t break me that easily.
When he tells me his Stroker Rod is broken… What kind of mechanic am I if I don’t get hands-on with his problem?
We put our feelings behind us a long time ago, and there’s no way I’ll let Gates break my heart again. No amount of fiddling under the hood will fix everything broken between us. From here on out, it’s purely physical. Right?
Yup, just a couple of guys and their stroker rods."]
THIS booooook! God fucking damn. This was sooooo good. It was the perfect balance of pining and angst, of fluff and steam.
Am I surprised? No, it's a K.M. original. Of course its fantastic.
And I got to say, this one might even be better than the first book in the series. Then again, I'm a sucker for childhood friends and friends-to-lovers and best-friend's-brother and accidentally-engaged. So many tropes full-filled and no tastefully done.
