My goal this weekend is to try to catch up on all of the new recent (and not so recent) releases that I keep putting aside for one reason or another. Here's K.M. Neuhold's "Rear Ended." It's the fourth book in her Big Bull Mechanics series.
["Love is a highway, and Henry just got Rear Ended
I’ve spent my entire adult life working eighty hours a week, chasing money, security… success . When my recent start-up went under, leaving me with nothing to show for years of grinding myself down to the bone, I’m not sure who I am anymore. I never thought I’d be forty-eight with no money, living with my brother, trying to figure everything out from scratch. But, here we are…All that chasing didn’t leave a lot of time for romance or relationships either. Unless you count the occasional hook-up to let off a little steam. Now I have all the free time in the world… but who would want a middle-aged failure anyway?
When one of my most recent hook-ups turns out to be my new coworker, I’m starting to think the universe is having a good laugh at my expense. As if Auggie wasn’t tempting enough with all of the tattoos and his surprisingly sweet smile, now I’m spending all day watching him work. He’s covered in grease, with his overalls half zipped… is it getting hot in here, or is it just me?
He’s impossible to resist, but that doesn’t make the timing any better. Body work is one thing, but I’m determined to keep my heart out of it. If only Auggie would stop baking me cookies and touching me in ways that keep my engine running all night long. I think we’re going to need some coolant in here, because things are definitely heating up…"]
This book was SO freaking CUTE! It had minimal angst (from Henry trying to convince himself and Auggie that he wasn't ready for a relationship--good thing Auggie didn't listen). There was so much fluff and support and kind words and steam and secret make-out sessions and rules that Steele made about nudity in the garage that they broke (a few times).
And Hamlet?!?! My god! D: In middle school/high school, I wanted a micro pig (that I would have named Galileo), and Hamlet? He was fucking perfect. Like a little pig (and spotted) puppy. So freaking cute (he stole all of the scenes he was in--give his pig an Emmy or something).
I love this series and this author and the original series this one spun off of and hopefully the spin-off series that might be coming (??) that centers around Henry's brother and his friends/coworkers/bikers.
In general, so much D: and :D and heart eyes.
