Working at LazLo’s custom motorcycle shop is more than just a job… have lived life on the dangerous side, but they were the first “family” Kerry ever had. Even with his new job at LazLo’s Dream Machines, the club is still a big part of his life—until the day he crashes a motorcycle he wasn’t supposed to be riding, and wakes up in Lucy’s emergency room.
What Happens in Sturgis
The fact that Vince avoids kissing has never stopped him from getting what he wants from women. But now he’s shared a little too much with his new co-worker, Tori—and she’s made it her personal mission to change his opinion. Falling for each other is NOT in the plan. After all, what happens in Sturgis, stays in Sturgis. Or does it?
CrossOver
Vaughn’s not thrilled when his boss asks him to work on a motocross bike. But what the bike’s owner, Gabby, lacks in height, she makes up for with her fierce competitive spirit—and mind-blowing kisses. Not everyone wants to see her succeed on the track, though, and Vaughn’s repair skills keep falling short. Is Gabby just not cut out for the big time, or is someone determined to get her off the race track permanently?
Rumble
Shop owner Lazarus “Laz” Lowenstein keeps his past carefully concealed, and for good reason. When a friend calls in a favor, he finds himself perilously close to the life he left behind—and to fledgling reporter, Nora Carlton. Helping Nora research a story is one thing; exploring his desire for the sheltered single mom is a definite no-no. Can Nora restore his faith in people… and love?

MUST-READ slow-burn Romance Collection!
LAZLO’S DREAM MACHINES, a motorcycle Romance Collection by author Tracey Cramer-Kelly, is a wonderful compilation of four “slow burn” novellas that are a MUST-READ in my humble opinion. I love the way the author focuses each story on one of the relationships built between the rag-tag but skilled mechanics in Laz’s custom shop and those who fall for them. Author Cramer-Kelly does an exceptional job of allowing her readers to get to know her realistic yet flawed characters while at the same time creating a sexual tension (along with all of the other plot-related tensions) as the story unfolds. It is something I prefer as a reader for two reasons. First, the “slow burn” allows the story to dictate what we know of the characters. Second, if done right – and Tracey Cramer-Kelly does it so well – the buildup can be incredibly sensuous and allows a love built upon the initial lust to blossom into a realization of how much the relationship with this special person has changed that character’s way of thinking, reacting, and living life. In doing so, the realization and willingness to forge a lasting relationship is more believable and more titillating for the reader. When the tension builds slowly and then washes out the dam that past pain or betrayal has constructed, the willingness to give love another try writes itself into the hearts and minds of romance readers. It is the reason readers love the genre and never tire of reading about that time when that boy met that girl and magic happened . . . In LAZLO’S DREAM MACHINES, author Cramer-Kelly gives her readers four such stories that take them on a romantic journey that touches every emotion and writes that experience of love on their hearts with indelible ink. My favorite was RUMBLER. Nora and Laz touched my heart in a special way, but you’ll have to let me know which story is your favorite. I leaped at the opportunity to read an early copy of LAZLO’S DREAM MACHINES which has earned a 5+STAR rating and this voluntary review. I strongly suggest that you purchase your copy of LAZLO’S DREAM MACHINES, today! You will be so glad you did! Happy pages!
This is a great fun boxed set that is a collection of the four books in the dream machine series Each book is a total stand alone story with just the common factor of the garage where these beautiful machines are produced. The books flow well and keep you engaged with enough romance to make you heart flutter I will review each story separately

Rumble
Finally we get Lazurus “Laz”s story he is the owner of the dream machine work shop and when he is asked to help single mother Nora it brings his past to light. As he closes in on himself can Nora get him to learn to live again.
Y’all, this was such a fun series of novellas. At a total length of 162 pages, this was a quick read that I really enjoyed. Each story had a different synopsis that was real and plausible. The motorcycle men were all likable (and quite handsome from the way they were described) and the women were all completely different from them…think the complete opposite. I thought the stories were cute, however was a little put off that the characters met and within a week they were in love. It just seemed really, really, quick to me, especially with some of the men’s histories. Other than that, I loved reading these books. Tracey Cramer-Kelly’s writing flows so easily and creates a great story. I am definitely going to pick up some of her other books!!!
Some May Like
These were super short stories about guys who worked at a bike shop and loved their bikes. This series is more for those MC lovers who like their books on the softer side…it just wasn’t for me.
