  • muscled mechanics who live fast and love hard

  • hilarious banter that'll leave you with a grin
  • undeniably hot romance that'll singe the pages

Johnny Devlin's a charmer with a checkered past. Stealing cars landed him in jail, but he's learned his lesson. Now he spends his days working in the body shop at Webster's Garage and his nights trying to stay out of trouble—mostly. He's had his eye on bartender Lara Valley for ages, but she's perfected the art of rejecting him at this point. Still, when some dirtbag attacks her in the parking lot, Johnny doesn't hesitate to come to her aid. And when Lara finally asks him on a date as a no-strings-attached thank you, he won't be doing anything but saying hell yes.

Harte has created a novel full of romance and real friendships amidst the lives of hard characters with true loyalty. Suspense and chemistry make their appearance throughout as we get to know these fantastic characters. I liked the way that the author builds an actual relationship between the main characters. It’s not all chemistry, even though that is definitely there. There was a great deal of character development at the beginning of this novel, so it took me a bit to really get into the story. That said, it is also the 1st novel in the series and we meet characters who will be prevalent throughout. I loved the different personalities that we meet throughout this varied cast of characters. Some were fun, others were difficult, and yet others were absolutely drool worthy. All in all, this was a great tart to a promising new series. I will admit that Harte did leave me curious as to what mess Foley’s going to get himself into in the next novel of the series. Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.

Johnny wears his bad boy title like a medal of honor. That in itself is temptation personified. What pushed me over the edge? His body language and attitude are contradictory to his actions. When he cares for someone or something, he gives his full attention. Lara was about to get an up close and personal look at the makings of this complicated man. Lara has one objective and it does not include looking for trouble. When trouble comes looking for her, she has to decide if the danger is worth the payout. The Body Shop Bad Boys series is off to a wickedly sexy start.
