Publisher's summary

A sexy enemies-to-lovers romance!

My former apprentice is the last person I want to work with. Ever. She still hates me since I fired her once upon a time. So when I’m forced to pair up with the wildly sexy brunette every day on the most important custom car build of my career, we spend our days firing snark and sarcasm at each other in the garage.

Too bad watching her work automotive wonders with a wrench is doing something to me. Only I can’t quite figure out if she wants to kick me in the lug nuts or beg me to give her a good, hard fuel injection. Until one night that question is answered on the hood of a sports car as she calls out my name three times. And we can’t seem to put on the brakes.

Soon, we’re doing more than working on a car. She’s enlisting me to take salsa dancing, bringing me monkey bread, and making me want more than hate bangs.

If sleeping with the enemy is a bad idea, how much more dangerous would it be to fall in love with her?

It's a Joy Ride alright

Put together one sexy hunk, one feisty and also sexy women and some sleek cars and you've got yourself an amazingly sexy hot story. I think this says it all.

Max and Henley. Lauren's latest couple to swoon over. But it sure doesn't start out like that. Former boss and employee. Not parting on the best of terms. Coming together again by pure coincidence and not thanks to their talent, to create masterpieces when it comes to custom cars.

Working together again things start to heat up and they finally realize that they didn't dislike each other as much as they actually like each other. Because the chemistry is off the charts. And one can definitely feel it when reading it.

But when things are as good as they can be there is bound to come something between them to test their relationship.

Love the characters. Love the story. Love the sexiness. One again Lauren you've got me wanting to be the heroine in your story.

What a Ride

What is a guys greatest fantasy? Hot girl, hot car and being able to have one on the hood of the other. This is a great story written in Lauren fashion with steamy scenes and guy gets girl, ticks her off and then grovels to get her back. A HEA in the end. Sebastian is a great narrator just love his voice for the characters.

witty banter, explosive chemistry, such amazing characters ... LB's characters are always fun and u will remember them always. they get stuck in your mind for sure. Henley ... great listen. i think a lot of books for me just need that listen factor to them ... i don't have all day to read ... but listening ... i can do other things too ... when u read u r committed to sitting there and doing one skill (task) love audio!!

Hot Rods and Hot Romance

I enjoyed this white hot love story. Max and Hennley didn't waste much time giving in to their attraction and letting love develop.

EXCELLENT NARRATION

This book was a quick fun listen. The author doesn't disappoint if you liked her similar books. I remained interested through the entire book. It would have been a cute read but listening to the audio book narrated by Sebastian York made it awesome. He makes all these Lauren Blakely male characters worth a listen.

Great fun!

I always enjoy every book by Lauren Blakely and this one was just so entertaining!the characters of most of her recent books appear as cameos so you get a hint of what's going on in previous characters lives. This tale of two car customization mechanics was funny and sexy. The characters the author writes are so bright and likeable, you cant help but enjoy them. As always, Sebastian York is magnificent in narration! I highly recommend this audiobook!

Motor heads in love

This book was entertaining and the characters were very different from the usual romantic couple.
