Quinn has spent her whole life working in her dad's garage, leaving her more comfortable with a carburetor than a curling iron. Her world is turned upside down when her beloved garage is bought by none other than world famous, sexy as sin, custom car builder, Tazen Watts. He's the one man she can't stand...even though he makes her hotter than a high performance engine in top gear.
Tazen has no use for Quinn, at least not professionally, and he's making sure she knows it. But there's a spark between them that she's finding hard to ignore. She's determined to prove her talent is as impressive as her sassy mouth. When she finds out Tazen is hiding a secret that could bring down his career and everyone involved in it, she wonders: is falling for him is going to be worth the risk?
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Quinn hasn't had a good life. She's had a hard life. And when things with her dad get worse, she finds out she's going to lose her garage in thirty days if she doesn't come up with the arrears. And not only will she lose it, but she will lose it to her idol, a person she has become to love and hate.
The story is emotional, and with the garage taken from Quinn, everything she's so desperately trying to cling to is falling from her grasp. She's tried her hardest for so long to keep everything together.... but what happens when all that explodes?
Quinn and Tazen relationship isn't easy, and I still found it hard he didn't give her it back after they were in love, or some of it back in a way. It killed me knowing she lost that part of herself.
They have a rocky relationship but Quinn isn't one of those girls to be pushed over. Not only does she have to fight to prove her worth beneath a car, but also fight for someone else in her life, someone slowly ripping from her grip.
I love her and Jace's banter, and her and Tazen's sexual chemistry, the two are explosive together and in more ways than on top of a hood.
I will admit I did feel the book lacked something other Bella Jewel books had. I found the situation with Tazen's ex could have become more heated.... I don't know, something.
But either way that didn't stop me from reading. In fact, I read it in one sitting and loved every minute of it.
