Recently optioned for film by Passionflix!When romance novelist Kate Smith suddenly gets writer’s block as she’s beginning the final installment of her international bestselling steamy Bed ‘n Breakfast series, she’ll do pretty much anything to get her groove back.Like sneak into a Tire Depot waiting room because her words flow there just like complimentary coffee-smooth, sweet, and scorchingly … coffee-smooth, sweet, and scorchingly hot.
She manages to fly under the radar until the rugged and charming mechanic, Miles Hudson, notices the quirky redhead slinking in and out of the employees only entrance.
But she’s way too intriguing to blow the whistle on.
Doing a test-drive of her new book idea sounds like a much better option.

I literally just finished reading ‘Wait With Me’ and love, Love, Loved it! It was so good and not only lived up to my expectations but it totally exceeded them! I give it 5 Miles sized stars! 😉
I started reading ‘Wait With Me’ two nights ago and in just one sitting, I read over half the book and if I didn’t have to sleep or adult, I could have easily finished it in one sitting. Sadly, life got in the way, well more like adulting, but that didn’t stop me from finishing it today, and I am so glad I set some time aside to finish Miles and Kate’s story. It was seriously so good! Once I started reading their story, I did not want to stop. It had everything I look for in a good romance novel. It made me laugh, smile, and nearly brought me to tears. It was seriously the cutest Rom-Com EVER! It gave me all the feels!
I won’t go into any spoilery details because spoilers suck big time, but I will say that the way Miles and Kate met was funny and the perfect way to set the tone for their story that was the perfect mixture of funny, sweet and sometimes very awkward moments. I’ll admit that some of the awkward moments were rather cringe worthy at times, but they made me love Kate even more, because it just made her that much more relatable. Why do I say that? Well, let’s be honest. Who isn’t awkward these days? I know I am and I bet so many women out there are awkward too, so come out of your box of shame and own your awkwardness. Kate did and I love her for it even if she did make me want to face palm myself many, many times. lol
Kate is literally so many of us and I loved that about her, because she feels more like a girl next door rather than some perfect protagonist none of us could ever see ourselves in. Kate is me in many ways and I’m sure many readers will see parts of themselves in her as well. I only wish I could also find the ideal book boyfriend just like she did. I think I may be going to my local tire shop in the near future in hopes of finding my very own Miles, because who doesn’t want a man like Miles? I sure do. Miles is perfect in every way. *swoons*
If you haven’t already met Miles, you need to do yourself a favor and meet him ASAP! He is seriously so freaking perfect! Well kind of. He obviously isn’t perfect, perfect, because no man is, but when you get past his imperfections, you will love him for who he is. I know I did. Miles is just a sweet, misunderstood giant I just want to envelop in a big hug. He has his issues that he has a hard time overcoming, but when you look past all that and and get to really know him for who he is, you will fall for him. I promise you! Miles literally made me swoon and gave me all the feels! He also made me wish over and over again that he was real and even though he isn’t, I’m not giving up hopes of finding a man out there that is book boyfriend material just like Miles.
I have hope that somewhere out there, there is a man like Miles waiting for me at a tire shop. Tires Tires Tires, here I come. 😉
Holy smokes I couldn’t put this book down; in fact, I finished it within hours because I was hooked from the beginning! This is a new author to me and I enjoyed this book so much I downloaded the next two and started Next in Line! If you haven’t read this author before I highly recommend this read it’ll makes you smile, laugh and have you rooting for the h and H to get their HEA!
The truth is stranger than fiction
Worth the wait! Miles and Kate are so fun and sexy! I loved every minute of this book!
What do an erotic romance writer and a mechanic have in common?? Research!!!!
A cute hot romance that starts at the Tire Depot.
Having read previous books from Amy Daws I was excited when she announced this new series.
Her characters are captivating and the performances by Erin Mallon and Teddy Hamilton absolutely brought the story to life.
I was riveted from the first chapter and really didn’t want Wait With Me to end.
I fell in love with all the characters and cannot wait to listen to the next book.
Loved it.
Spanish Book (Espera Conmigo)
I read the book in its Spanish edition.
Leí este libro en su versión en español y es increíble.
Este es un libro muy entretenido, ágil y ligero, la pluma de Amy es maravillosa y te atrapa desde el principio, es muy divertida y las ocurrencias de Kate son para morirte de risa y las escenas de pasión son increíbles este libro tiene todo lo que para mi es indispensable en una lectura ligera, para salir de un bloqueo lector o para pasar un muy buen rato.
La historia nos habla de Miles y Kate.
Kate es una escritora de romance erotico, ama si trabajo pero por cómo es su entorno a veces se siente un poco avergonzado por el.
Acaba de terminar una relación de años y está perdido su inspiración al escribir, cuando en una sala de espera en un taller de llantas la inspiración llega a ella no puedo creerlo, por fin está volviendo a ser ella, así que obviamente no va a dejar lo que le trae todo esto, es decir la sala de espera del taller, así que se cuela cada día y espera que nadie la note, pero obviamente no es así haha así que cuando uno de los sexys mecánicos se le acerca para saber porque sigue regresado no le queda más que sobornarlo con pizza y pedirle que le ayude a terminar su libro.
Miles no puede dejar de ver a esa pelirroja que cada día se cuela a la sala de espera lo tiene intrigado así que cuando habla con ella su fascinación y ganas de hablar con ella aumenta, así que para su propia sorpresa se ve yendo cada día a la sala de espera a hablar con ella, Miles tiene sus propios miedos acaba de salir de una relación muy tóxica por lo cual desconfía del amor, las mujeres y las relaciones.
Y así es como empieza una pequeña relación de amistad, la atracción es obvia y mutua pero ninguno da el primer paso, Miles no quiere una relación y sabe que Kate no es el tipo de persona de una noche.
Pero la atracción, las ganas de estar juntos y los celos son demasiados para simplemente dejarlo pasar y es así como comienza la historia, donde Miles y Kate tendrán que salir de su zona de confort y arriesgarse por el amor.
Opinión.
Siento que a la historia le falto contexto. Todo ocurrió muy rápido, en un momento se conocen y al siguiente ya está Miles besándola en la frente.
Prefiero que las historias de amor desarrollen completamente, paso a paso, y eso no fue un gran impedimento a la hora de leer el libro, ya que me hizo la lectura un poco tensa.
Además de unas cuantas risas bien permitidas y unas sesiones de sexo rosa la historia me quedo debiendo.
Audio Review from 2018
This is one of those stories that was highly recommend from every which direction.
It sounded great so I Gabe it a shot and LOVED it!!!
I even recommended it to a friend as I was griping to her about all the yummy food references lol
Great story Amy!!
This was the first book I’ve read by this author, and I’m so happy I did! A wonderfully written book that was fun with a ton of depth. The characters were lovable and their back stories were both heartbreaking and heartwarming. I did a lot of laughing out loud while reading, which got me very weird looks at work…oops!
The premise behind this story had me jump on this story. Because as an author–I get it. An author with writer’s block finds “inspiration” in a tire shop. *Grabby-hands* Gimme!
It did not disappoint. It was sexy and sweet and hilarious and I tore through it. I was suffering a Harris Brothers hang-over and this was just the repair I needed. I totally connected with Kate and wished I had her as a writing partner because I totally would’ve snuck in with her…though she would’ve had to fight me over Miles. Fun read! More *Grabby-hands* for Amy’s rom-coms. (less)
I really loved this series.
WAIT WITH ME is a Rom-Com & Contemporary Romance. My husband found this one first. He kept laughing & saying, “You got to read this one!” As soon as I had some free reading time, I did read it. I Recommend it to anyone that needs a change in their reading books. A lot of humor with a touch of darkness!
Kate Smith is a Best-Selling author that is suffering from writers-block. She writes under the pen name, Mercedes Lee Loveletter. It might be unusual to find someone writing smutty romance in the waiting room of a tire shop. But when you are a Best-selling author who suddenly has lost her creativity, than drastic measures must be taken. The free latte and homemade bakery is so very delicious, too! She just has to be careful not to get caught free-loading and eating all the goodies! One of the mechanics seems like she has caught his attention, and her attention is drawn to him, too! This could be good or could be bad! She takes one very long look at him and declares him a “Book boyfriend!” The leading male in a romance novel that readers claim ownership of because he doesn’t exist in the real world. Trouble is this one very much does exist in her world. Well, it is great when they finally officially meet, except she gives him her pen name, Mercedes. He gives her his real name, Miles Hudson.
Their attraction grows, but both are walking on thin ice. They were entering into a casual, friends with benefits situation. Her writing was going so well. She is not sure if it is the Tire Depot or the magic of Mike Hudson. Yet, when the truth is revealed than their epic love turns into a tragic woman’s fiction. Kate pleads with him to help with more book research. It has to do with a happy ending!??
If you want a sweet, fun, sexy, steamy lighthearted pick me up, then look no further. Wait With Me made me smile, laugh out loud and clench my thighs with it’s hotness. I loved it!
When best selling erotic author Kate Smith loses her writing mojo, mostly thanks to her douche of an ex, she discovers it again in the most unusual of places…….the local tyre depot with it’s high class customer care centre, free coffee and cookies! A certain hot mechanic who turns a blind eye to her sneaking in everyday might just help too.
I really enjoyed this slow burn, friends to lovers story with two great characters in Kate (Mercedes) and Miles who had sizzling chemistry from the start.
Kate is cute and a bit shy considering what she does for a living but lovely with it, even if she does get caught up in the Mercedes side of her personality. Miles is gorgeous, but jaded in the love department. There was some drama, despite Miles insisting he didn’t want any, but then the path to true love never runs smoothly and it took nothing away at all from the smouldering antics and fabulous banter between these two.
How have I not read anything by Amy Daws before? This may be my first, but it will not be my last! I listened to the audio version and both narrators were excellent, very expressive and brought these characters to life. I’m looking forward to more from this series as this book put a smile on my face just when I needed it.
4.5 fun, sexy stars
My first listen by Amy Daws! I loved it. Great romance book about a romance writer who meets her real life book boyfriend. Lots of hot & steamy moments too. I absolutely love the combination of Erin Mallon & Teddy Hamilton as narrators. I highly recommend you read/listen to this book!
Who meets the love of their life while waiting at a tire center? And the best part is that Kate is really hanging out at the tire center in order to break her writer’s block. Not because she’s having the tires changed on her car. Amy Daws again takes an oddball situation and turns it into a hilarious romance.
Listening to this was a pure joy! Great characters in a hot, fun, wonderfully written story.
I loved this. The story, the characters, the endless laughter and comedy! The connection between Miles and Kate I adored. Miles is perfection. Protective and a heart of gold. Kate is sweet, and sexy, adorable and quirky. She writes erotic romance and is proud of it. After a relationship with a man who wanted her to lie to his family about the genre she writes she is hurt and doesn’t easily trust men when it comes to her career. So when she meets Miles and he fully embraces her passion for writing romance she cannot resist getting to know him more. I enjoyed the progression of their relationship. I loved the unique setting of needing to write at the local tire shop because it’s the only place she can cure her writers block. There is part of the story I did not like. Kate is not honest with Miles about something about her. I did not like that it took her the entire book to fess up and even then she didn’t really. Miles found out another way and I thought he deserved better. I rated this 4 stars overall because well this annoyed me it didn’t take away from the beautiful romance story that I couldn’t put down.
This book is so so funny! I couldn’t stop laughing and chuckling. His thoughts? Her thoughts? Even the comments had me cracking up. I mean who buys Tire scented candles?? Smoking red licorice?? Whahah
I don’t know what took me so long to listen to this one. I can’t wait for more!!
Erin Mallon and Teddy Hamilton do an amazing job!
I enjoyed seeing these two characters come together. I recommend this book and this author.
4.5
h: Kate aka Mercedes
H: Miles
(Dual POVs)
Nobody told me that Amy Daws’ books were hilariously funny AND steamy hot! This was such a unique and fun story. All the characters were so quirky in their own way. Like Miles pretending to smoke a twizzler
I’ll be adding Miles to my book boyfriend list, thank you very much. A man that works with his hands and rides a motorcycle? YES PLEASE. His demeanor in the bedroom phew! And there’s a particular camping scene that was off the charts intense and hot!
I thought things were a bit predictable towards the end, but I did love everything about the way these two reconciled
