She’s a high-fashion realtor; he’s a low-maintenance mechanic. What on earth could they have in common?
Synopsis
Dressed in designer labels and cruising around town in her red Mercedes, workaholic realtor Harper Wilson presents the picture of success in charming Maple Falls. But Harper’s carefully cultivated image is resting on a shaky foundation. With a sudden drought in sales, she’s starting to see her professional dreams—along with her posh lifestyle—slipping away.Car trouble brings her to mechanic Rusty Jenkins, and their unlikely friendship is taken to the next level when the laid-back Rusty allows her to give him a makeover for a charity bachelor auction. Harper soon discovers that beneath the town mechanic’s wild beard and grease-stained clothing lies a true Southern gentleman—someone with a kind heart and dreams of his own. Their chemistry is undeniable, but as they get closer, past fears and relationships start to creep in, reminding them of just how much is at stake when carefully constructed facades fall apart.
Maybe their worlds aren’t so separate after all. And maybe covering up who you really are keeps you from discovering what was always meant to be.
Review
If you like the small-town trope then this book is perfect for you. It's a sweet romantic story with enough angst to keep the readers entertained. There are two storylines; the main story is about Harper and Rusty. And a side story about Harper's parents. I enjoyed both. Also, loved the characters. It's one of those stories that will put a smile on your face and make you feel happy. I love romance because of this feeling; the certainty of a happy ending, and not mention swoon-worthy main characters. In my opinion, it's a must-read for romance lovers.
Harper is a real estate agent who is having trouble with work and her family. And Rusty is a mechanic who loves his work and is currently in the market to buy a house. The two got close as Rusty works on Harper's car. Their friendship grows with time and soon, they realize there is more to the attraction they feel for each other. Unfortunately, neither of them wants to take the first step and both are bad at reading signs. Can they overcome their prejudices and misconceptions to forge something as beautiful as love? Read to find out.
I received a complimentary copy of this book via NetGalley and the review is my honest opinion, which has nothing to do with the author or publisher.
