Review by Marlene Engel
Mike adores his niece. So there was no hesitation when his sister
asked if he could drive her to a birthday party. His plan was to drop her off and not return
until the party ended. That was until he
met the hostess!
Single mom, Anne, can craft just
about anything, is a party planning genius and easy on the eyes. One look at her and the thought of staying
for the party didn’t seem so bad! But
what could Mike possibly have in common with Anne? He’s a mechanic who lives in his garage,
literally! Isn’t one for serious
relationships and happens to have a hot date that night. But there’s just something about Anne that
makes it impossible for Mike to get her out of his mind.
Can Mike change his bachelor ways
enough to capture Anne’s heart? Or will
he not fit into her perfectly crafted life?
I’m a true believer that opposites
attract. When I heard about the
characters and storyline, there was no doubt that I had to read this book. It’s like a modern day Martha Stewart meets
hunky ‘Pimp My Ride’ mechanic, swirled in with some delicious desserts and fun
friends. If that’s not enough to make
you want to read this book, I don’t know what is!
This is the first novel I’ve read by
Nicole Michaels, but it won’t be the last!

About the Author:
Nicole
wrote her first full length book (6 pages) about the birth of her baby sister,
when she was eight years old. She only finished it because her mother bribed
her with a Rick Astley cassette tape. Sad, but true. Now her characters are
what keep her writing and her subject matter has gotten a little bit deeper
and a lot more romantic. She resides in a small town outside of Kansas
City with her husband and three sons. When she isn’t writing, she’s a wedding
and portrait photographer, loves to cook, and watch historical dramas or
documentaries.

Great review. Thanks for the recommendation.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a great book, Janine. You will love it!
DeleteThanks again
DeleteThe hero reminds me of my husband. He's a mechanic and pretty much lives in the garage he works at (he works 6 days a week) and doesn't think of anything but cars I joked once that I need to say car in the middle of each sentence in order for him to listen because that's the one word that gets his attention. .
DeleteI like the review, sounds like a fun read.
