You know those books that you shouldn’t like but you end up loving them? Books so vulgar and inappropriate and ridiculous that you’re at once shocked and appalled and end up laughing your freaking ass off? Books that seem so real, you find it hard to let go of not just the characters but the story itself? That’s this book. Junkyard Dog is a hidden gem and I’m so glad I happened across it.
“So she’s like a girl version of you.” “Yeah.” “No wonder you love her. You’ve always been arrogant,” he says, winking at me and then sliding out of the cart. “Figures you’d want to marry yourself.”
Angus is a giant man. Large in stature and large in life. He’s scary and rules his town with an iron fist. He smacks fools for fun and has no tolerance for just about anything. He trusts no one and refuses to allow anyone in to see his vulnerabilities. His life changes, for the better, when Candy walks into his office and makes her presence known. She doesn’t fear him. This chick doesn’t know what fear is. She’s a single mom and figures she’s already doing the toughest job in the world so how hard could it be to work for this guy. Two volatile personalities, two people who refuse to back down, two characters who love and fight hard, and these people find out they are more alike than not.
LOVED THIS STORY!!
Honestly, I’ve never heard of this author and if it weren’t for Isabella R., I probably never would have picked this book up. The cover doesn’t grab me and I’d be more likely to pass on it because of the way it looks than to give it a chance on my own. So thanks Isabella!! If not for her, I wouldn’t have discovered the raw energy that permeated this story and fallen in love with not only these characters but the way they were written. You best believe I’ll be reading more from this author!!
The blurb on this one really appealed to me.
I do so love me an unrepentant grumpy rude alpha and Hayes is this in absolute spades.
The man has no filter whatsoever if he thinks it, it’s coming out of his mouth and if you can’t take it well he’s not actually bothered and has no plans on changing anything about himself to please others.
he’s unrepentantly obnoxious, foul-mouthed and a force to be reckoned with in white horse and he just doesn’t care who he has to mow through to get the job done.
In fact, he owns this town and along with his hired muscle police’s it with fear and intimidation and nothing gets by his notice.
He’s not a bad guy if you toe the line and play by his rules.
He can’t keep an assistant on account of his outward persona not only is he as intimidating as all hell all the yelling and bluster the man is built like a brick-house all 6 and a half foot of him.
Enter Candy back in town with her twin’s cricket and chipper in tow and definitely in need of employment.
She’s strong sassy and equally as sharp and blunt as Hayes himself.
She takes every bit of Hayes gruff and just throws it right back at him.
She’s not easily spooked and doesn’t give a tot what people think of her. Including him.
She’s almost like the female version and Hayes is fascinated not that he lets her know it can’t have someone having that kind of power over him.
So this was such an easy low angst read.
It was highly amusing and low drama relying on the amusing back forth banter between Hayes and candy to carry the story.
And it worked this was highly enjoyable and even though I don’t read that many straight forward contemporary romance nowadays I’m glad I gave this one a chance.
It made me laugh and smile and I adored all the unconventional weird personalities throughout.
This one gets a thumbs up from me.
If your just looking for something light and easy to hangout with this book is the one for you.

WHY OH WHY did it take me so long to read this story?! I’ve had this on my Kindle for quite a while and completely forgot about it. I was recommend this story thought okay, might as well, I already own it… I MUST BE CRAZY!! This book was AWESOME!!
The main characters (who both have bad mouths, lol) were a match made in heaven. I loved the crass and bold way they spoke to each other and how they were able to understand when it was serious and when it was play time. I have read a few reviews that were not happy with this story but I have to say it was the perfect fir for me. I love brash characters and ones that speak their mind. This story stands out as a real one, with real characters, real heart and really (dirty) mouths!!
I could not me more excited that I read this story yo better believe I am reading the rest of this series ASAP! The heart in this story was amazing and I loved the HEA. It was just such fun to read! Oh, and it is title PERFECTLY! Angus really did remind me of an old Junkyard dog!! Must Read, Favorites List, Highy Recommend!!!
These two characters were unlike any others. I wanted to not like them in the beginning but couldn’t help but love them in the end!
Thank you Goodread reviewers. I loved this funny, filthy book. Angus and Candy are selfish, shutdown jackasses of epic proportions, but very entertaining.
Not much action, not much plot other than their maneuvering for any kind of position.
I’ll let their words speak for themselves….
“My mother is dead.” Hayes’s tone tells me he wants me to shut up, and I immediately know I must keep the conversation going.
“I’m sorry. My mother is dead too. Is your dad dead?”
“No.”
“Mine is. I guess that means I win the saddest child contest. Do you have any siblings?”
****************
Candy to Angus’ recently released felon-friend.
She hands him the coffee and asks, “Were you in prison for stealing purses because I can hide mine to prevent you from being tempted?”
“No, I beat an asshole to death.”
“So should I be concerned for Hayes’s safety then?”
Candy and Hayes’ story is hilarious! This book was free and I had never read anything from this author before so I thought, “Why not!” I laughed so hard at the back and forth between these memorable characters that I couldn’t get the smile off my face. This book is funny, sexy and worth the ride. Do yourself a favor and order all the books in this series because you’re going to want to binge read them like I did. Bijou Hunter has become a one click for me and in my top 5 authors list. Have fun!
