I first want to say that I love stories where the hero and heroine have a history and Alex and Deacon definitely have a history. Deacon the older brother of Alex’s best friends and partners in an auto restoration shop, the story starts with Alex storming into Deacon’s office. Unknown to her – the reason she is there is not the true reason at all. Alex and Deacon’s have a long history going back to childhood they went down separate paths but met briefly months before when tragedy hit Deacon’s family and the story picks from there.
I thought the point that brings Alex storming into Deacon’s office is good but not sure if makes a lot of sense. That being said I grew too really like Alex and Deacon so I could get past that plot point. We found out quite a bit about Alex’s childhood – I would have liked to find out more about Deacon and his sisters. I think it would have helped explain more of the motivation for the 3 siblings and the path they each chose. After a few more hurdles (not giving them away here) the ending was satisfying and overall I really enjoyed the story.
Despite my minor (very minor) complaints I enjoyed the authors writing style and enjoyed the characters. I also appreciated the uniqueness of the story – I am not sure if I have read a book that has 3 women running an auto restoration garage. I am sure they are out there this was a nice introduction for me. I also liked the idea that you shouldn’t take life for granted and to go after what you want even if you think you may not fit in. I think any story that shows the main characters individuality and they don’t apologize for who they are sends a great message. That is why I give it 4 stars.This book was reviewed by a member of the review staff at Cocktails and Books. The name of the reviewer can be found under the post categories.
