About The Book:
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…
Excerpt:
“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?”
My Review:
Miss Mechanic by Emma HartMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Miss Mechanic by Emma Hart is a standalone romance told in dual POV. Snarky humor, confident heroine, hot asshole hero, and the battleground is a garage.
Dexter Ryne's family purchased the garage from Jamie's family. Dexter and Jamie had never met until she applied for a job at the very same garage she grew up in. In need of employment and finding everywhere else to sexually backwards to believe in her skills as a female mechanic, applying at "Ryne Garage" is her last ditch effort. To say her interview went well would be a gross misuse of the truth...
Jamie Bell is Dexter's worst nightmare. She is snarky, challenging, a little bit ridiculous when it comes to self-confidence and devastatingly beautiful. Worst. Nightmare. Agreeing to give her three weeks to prove herself seemed like a genius idea, at first. But between their inability to interact without fighting, her beautiful long legs, AND the fact that she is every bit as skilled the mechanic a she originally claimed he finds himself crossing the line...
Well-written and well-paced, I found this to be yet another entertaining and enjoyable read from Emma. Definitely on the light-hearted end of the romance spectrum, small town setting, interesting secondary characters from the astute & precocious seven-year-old niece to the crazy grandparent and even crazier great aunt and then back to the meddlesome sister, and that is just on Dexter's side of the family. Loved this. Enjoy!
