This ain’t no love triangle. This is people not knowing when to let fate do its thing.Brody Tannen has been the boss for way too long, putting everyone’s needs above his own. It’s the way his family farm stood while fate took shot after shot against them. But now he’s got a chance to figure things out for himself. Everyone keeps pushing him one way, but deep down he knows which way he should go. … knows which way he should go.
Towards her… Erica Cole, the rough and rowdy woman that’s always been one of the guys.
Except to him.
Brody loves her inappropriate humor and smudges of grease on her cheeks.
He wants nothing more than to be the one who cracks her exterior shell to find the sweetness he’s sure is inside.
Erica Cole has been in a man’s world her entire life.
First in the military, and now, taking over her dad’s mechanic shop.
She’s not the sugar and spice girly type that guy’s normally go for.
She’s grease and engines, snark and bite, responsibilities and expectations.
So when Brody Tannen sets his sights on her, Erica doesn’t know how to handle it.
Not when everyone else thinks she’s destined for a man that does nothing for her.
Erica can’t say the same for the broody, cocky cowboy that saunters into the shop though.
Brody’s tall, dark, and won’t give up, which is a problem because Erica desperately wants to know what’s lurking beneath his hungry gaze.
Even if she should stay far away from the heat he promises.
They both know what they want, but can they stand strong against those who think they know better to get the happily ever after they deserve?

ARC review For honest review. Brody Tanner is a man that took his roles with pride this strong man finds when he breaks down at Cole automotive the one women Eric’s (rix) has her own set of rules, but can set his motor running all cylinders. Awesome story 10 stars
This is the 2nd book in this awesome series and is Brody the eldest brother, and Rix’s story. These two are total opposites yet together they are perfect. This is a beautifully written story which is fun, entertaining, humorous and steamy read which had me totally captivated throughout this riveting page turner. I highly recommend for all readers.
I love all that Lauren Landish writes and I love the story she’s created for Brody and Rix!!! It’s a wow just wow story for me!!
Brody is everything you want in a guy. He’s swoony and cocky and has this incredible protective side. Erica or Rix is so strong and real and I love her!
They are both loyal to their families. It’s a book of loving those in your life and making them your priority!! It’s beautiful! I love the Tannen family does much! Mama Lou is who I want to be! I love Rix and her family!!
What I loved was watching through grow together and within themselves!!!
Lauren Landish makes us fall in love with another cowboy! This goes into the top 2020 books for me!!!
Mr Broody, Brody, finally meets his match in Erica aka Rix, a no holds barred woman with no filter and plays with the big boys and she wants to play with Brody after he finally convinces her that he wants her…and just her…just the way she is. He really sees her and surprises her with his reactions to situations that others never respected her opinion or capabilities in. They both have no filters and don’t want to define what they have so they don’t scare the other away, but when Rix crosses the line, she will have to put on her big girl pants and let all her walls down with him.
I LOVED this read and I LOVED these two, a match made in brooding heaven. There’s laughs, there’s steam…ahem steam…there’s brooding, there’s amazing characters and once again the blended family comes together again. I enjoyed these two and I enjoyed Rix, her brashness and no fear but I loved how she was with Brody went she finally lets her guard down. I loved the no jealousy, no others coming between them and the softie underneath Brody that he has for Rix as he navigates through their relationship.
Another amazing read in the Tannen boys as another one bites the dust and I can’t wait for the last brother and what this author has in store for him.

Rough Edge by Lauren Landish is book 2 in the Tannen Boys series. This is Erica (Rix) Cole and Brody Tannen’s story.
Brody and Rix together are fantastic! Their chemistry is sizzling and the Lauren Landish has written a great addition to the Tannen Boys series. Without giving anything away, this is a deliciously tempting, funny, heartwarming and hilarious read that is really a great addition to the series. Rix and Brody are so good together. As of now, this is my favorite of the series .
My Rating: 4.5 stars ********
Brody and Erica are opposites in some aspect but also the same in others but one thing for sure he wants Erica no matter what for exactly who she is and together they were absolutely perfect
I love this series and Erica and Brody make the perfect couple, why you wonder they are so similar but different and you would think that would be boring but it’s not. Erica is called Rix which fits her personality perfectly and Brody is the sourpuss who barely talks to anyone so when they first meet its explosive and you know you have to keep reading.
Loved it!! The Tannen boys are great!

Rough Edge is a heartwarming sassy romance! I fell in love with Brody and Erica (rix)! He is a strong alpha dirty mouthed cowboy that’s rough around the edges in every right way imaginable. Erica or Rix is a sassy saucy don’t take no crap from anyone mechanic. They are the ultimate couple and I loved them! They were the perfect combination! I can’t wait for the next book in the Tannen Boys books! I am voluntarily leaving my honest review after reading this arc, but I loved it so much I purchased my own copy.
Come on! Could Brody the broody caretaker and Erica the sassy engine rever be any better suited- you know like fuel to fire..
The all-encompassing, humourous heat up the room story of how these two gruntings, foul mouths go from wielding wrenches and insults to, dealing suggestive words and throwing out scary emotions amidst Tannens/ Bennets jealous ones- is a page-turning five star read!
I cannot get enough of these families!
This one is my favorite book out of the Tannens so far!
I like this series! This is the second book so far and I enjoyed this read. This story is about Brody and Roxy (Erica). I loved their attraction towards each other. I enjoyed their hard and gruff banter which made their HEA all the more delightful to read. Brody is a character you want to root for and Rix was the person he deserved. They made a perfect twosome. Looking forward to the next book. I voluntarily received an ARC copy of this book from the author and purchased a copy as well.
I’m loving these sexy AF Tannen men. Brody is a sexy AF cowboy that will definitely make you swoon. Once you start reading you will be hooked. Brody and Rix are absolutely perfect for each other and I loved every minute of their story.
Great book! Loved Brody and Erica is such a good match for him!!
No spoilers in my reviews: Lauren Landish delivers again in this hot and spicy story of two alphas that are ‘meant to be’ despite the strong personalities and stubbornness. This Tannen Boy episode has hunky, tough, rough, brooding cowboy Brody mixing it up with a spunky, wrench wielding mechanic (by day) and sexy, too hot, sassy miss (by night). As soon as the two characters meet, despite the conflict, the sparks and chemistry are obvious! You wouldn’t think that this couple would ‘work’ but they SO do! This book is a ‘spin-off’ of the Bennett Boys series, and the Tannen Boys definitely deserve their own stage. Among the steam and angst is a fun, well-told story that does just fine as a standalone but you will want to go back and read the others to get a little more backstory! So, don’t delay, become a fly on the wall as the heat rises, the sparks fly and love slowly brews. A five-star romance you won’t want to miss! I received an ARC and am happy to provide my review to help you make your decision.
Great book by one of my favorite go to authors, Ms. Landish once again delivers on a hero I’m swooning over and a heroine I have a girl crush on! These two have instant chemistry, Brody and Rix just need to learn to navigate in a world with someone else that matters IN THAT WAY to them, which is something they are not used to. I think I love Rix more than any heroine I’ve read this year. Her crassness and abruptness just the hard shell protecting her vulnerabilities. She has them, she’s not infallible and Brody sees that, and together they are amazing and I’m so glad I read this at a time I needed to jump into the small town environment this author created and just SLOW things down. It was the perfect escape!
I’m loving these Tannen boys, just like the Bennett boys before them, they are a family of brash, slightly uncouth, yet very protective siblings, and Brody Tannen, the oldest of the bunch, is no exception. Too busy working to even think about looking for love, that is until fate, and a dying truck called Bessie land him at Cole Automotive in the care of Rix, a fiery, five foot nothing of a woman who pushes all Brody’s buttons. A brilliant, entertaining, funny and sexy story that had me addicted from the get-go. Small town romance, and a story that proves that opposites most definitely do attract, because you don’t get two more different people than Rix and Brody. The only thing they have in common is that neither of them have time for a relationship, this thing between them is just sex. Yeh right, let’s see how that works out for them. Wonderful writing and characters, and a firm favourite of mine in this series. I can’t wait to see where book 3, Bobby’s book, will take us. I received an advanced copy of this book. This is my honest review.
Wow! What an amazing couple. Brody and Erica are so passionate. Brody has definitely met his match. An Erica is so different from most heroines you read about. She keeps Brody on his toes and can dish it out just like the guys she is surrounded by. She doesn’t take it from anyone. She knows what she wants and makes no bones about it. Brody has such a soft spot for her and understands that what she is looking for is someone who supports and respects her decisions. He seems to know that there is no talking her out of them. This is such a well matched pair and I loved their story. This is very well written and I love all the supporting characters in this series. I can not wait to read Bobby’s story! Wonderful HEA!
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
My favorite read this year. Lauren Landish has outdone herself with Brody Tannen. He is a gruff, brooding cowboy and has no time for love. He is happy his family, except his young brother Bobby, and the Bennett’s have all found what they are looking for but his focus is on getting his family farm back. Funny how things do not always go as planned.
Rix, aka. Erica Cole is not your typical woman. She is a powerhouse stuffed into a 5 foot frame and can out work and think the average man. She may not have the same “equipment” as the men but she can hold her own when it comes to automobiles. She is accustomed to being underestimated and to also being passed over by the male species for her sister Emily. She doesn’t know what to think when the gruff, broody cowboy strolls into her shop.
Get ready for a hot, dirty, ride. This is so much more than the blurb you have read. It is a deep, emotional book about finding the perfect person and not letting go. It’s about appreciating the person you love even if what they do isn’t what you understand or would choose for yourself. It’s about family love and the lengths a person will go to protect and love their family. Oh and it is packed full of straight to the point hot “relations”. Hot, I mean HOT. Brody is now my favorite Tannen/Bennett and that’s saying something. I have loved them all but WOW! Definitely a 5 star book.
I received an early copy to read and review with my honest opinion. I obviously loved this book and definitely recommend it but disclaimer here. If you are someone who doesn’t care for straight to the point dirty talk you may not care for it, the other 99.9% of you are gonna love it.
it took me longer then usual to read this book! Not cuz it was a bad read, just cuz my thoughts were scattered all over the place, due everything that’s going on
But I must say, once I settled my mind down & started reading this book, I couldn’t put it down
Brody Tannen, Cowboy. Oldest of four. Mostly raised his youngest sister but did a shitty job of it so she raised herself to spite him.
Brody a no-filter, what-you-see-is-what-you-get guy.Too big, too gruff, too quiet. OH, we can’t forget how he loves to growl
Erica Cole. She is a Engines. Cars. Heavy rock music. Sarcasm. Biting quips. Beer. Use Wrenches as weapons kinda girl.
Oh and we cant forget how Rix as she prefer to be called can be somewhat of ball buster , & she isn’t not a fairy tale kind of gal…. oh & did I mention she tiny Lil thing with a bit bite
With that said Cowboy & Lil Bit should be two peas in the same pod, right?
What you going to do when there are two alpha’s in that pot?
You are just gonna love chemistry between Brody & Erica
I just love how both have such strong personalities with even stronger opinions
Hope you enjoy this read & also always keep in mind this is just my opinion+ Also I wouldn’t never discourage anyone from reading this book.
