She swore never to trust him again…Fiery mechanic Alexandra Franco should have known better. Years ago, her best friends’ older brother took her virginity and broke her heart – or rather, doused it with gasoline, lit a match, and then walked away. And Alex definitely should not have indulged in another hot night with him after the fact. He’s not the same boy she fell for, and she sure as hell … for, and she sure as hell doesn’t want anything to do with the wealthy, ruthless man he’s become.
Walking away from Alex was the biggest mistake of Deacon West’s life. She belongs with him, and if getting her back means playing dirty, so be it. If she’ll grant him a three-month, no-strings affair, he won’t sell the building Alex and his sisters use for their auto repair business. Hell, he’ll even sign it over to them. But will Alex ever entrust her heart to him again, or are they destined to crash and burn?

I was lucky enough to win an audiobook from Sherilee Gray and what a great listen it was. Narrated wonderfully by Megan Kelly who really did a great job with the duel POV.
Alex works in an all female garage with her 2 childhood best friends, sisters Rusty and Piper. The garage is owned by the sisters brother Deacon who Alex has been in love with since she was 14 years old.
Deacon is now a ruthless businessman and is considering selling the building. Well Alex can’t have that so she storms into his office and gives him what for. Only he offers her a deal, be his exclusively for 3 months and he won’t sell. Little does she know he never had plans to sell and thinks this is the only way he can break through her tough girl exterior.
The dual POV is perfect here as you can see he truly does care for Alex and find out the awful way his ex wife played him over the years. He is a good guy with well earned trust issues. The ex wife is still sniffing around and she is a piece of work I tell you!
The chemistry between Alex and Deacon is sizzling and I loved their sexy journey so much.
Highly recommend this raunchy contemporary romance. Great characters and a great story topped off with great narration for you audiobook lovers.
5/5 stars
I loved all 3 books.
This turned out to be quite a memorable first read for me, I thoroughly enjoyed every minute I spent reading this book! This was a very addictive read, I had only planned to read for thirty minutes, but I got so wrapped up in this book that two hours passed me by before I came up for air, and by that time I was almost done so I forfeited an additional hour of sleep so I could finish the book. The story line was very inventive, well written and had a very nice flow to it, definitely made for a smooth and enjoyable read. The characters chemistry was evident from the start and I loved the approach Ms. Gray took with their relationship…the anticipation made it very exciting to read!
Deacon West made the biggest mistake of his life letting Alex Franco go all those years ago…and now that he is finally free from his past he thinks he has devised the perfect plan to get her back. The question is can he convince her to trust him again after all he put her through all those years ago? Alex is still angry with him and not ready to forgive him, and DEFINITELY not ready to let in back into her life! But when he tells her he’s going to sell the shop, unless she agrees to play his trophy date for three months, she is faced with the toughest decision of her life! She loves working with her best friends in their shop, and isn’t willing to let Deacon sell it right out from underneath them, so having a three month, no strings attached relationship can’t be all that bad right…
This story will have you smiling, laughing, and blushing the whole way through! I am anxiously awaiting the next installment in the series, I can’t wait to see what Ms. Gray has in store for these characters. I highly recommend you make a visit to Axle Alley, you will NOT be disappointed!!
