Series: Hyde Series #1
Piper Skye is rock ‘n’ roll. She’s party all night, sleep all day. She’s get wild and be free.
Or she would be if she had the time.
And the energy.
And not being so awkward would probably help, too.
As the owner of a thriving dessert business, Piper spends her days at school and her nights elbow deep in batter and frosting. She’s confident her hard work and sacrifice will pay off as long as she stays focused and sticks to the plan.
Jake Hyde is a workaholic with a jaded outlook on life. Surrounding himself with employees he considers his brothers, he long ago made the decision that his custom garage would be his focus.
Fate, as it often does, has other ideas. Plus, a killer sense of humor.
Thrown together by coincidence, the gruff mechanic and the sweet as sin baker have instant sparks. Suddenly, all of their carefully made plans have taken a giant freakin’ left turn.
And they do it on the back of a Harley.
*Warning: This book is intended for adults. It contains frequent adult language and situations.
Don’t try this at home.
At least not without stretching first.
Maybe keep the sneakers on for traction, too.

What can I say about this book? Meh…it was just ok.
First, I did enjoy the author’s writing style. It is reminiscent of Kristen Ashley, especially her heroes are very alpha and in control. The pace flows quickly. There is plenty of dialogue and the premise was good. I liked the setting of an auto body shop owner with a bevy of hot badass employees. Of course the hero Jake is the baddest of them all replete with the Harley, tattoos and man bun.
Now my problems with the book. The heroine Piper is just about the most mature and sexually attractive woman in book history. First she has accomplished so much in her 20 years: a house, a restored classic muscle car and a successful bakery business. That seems a little unrealistic to me. Then the fact that every man that comes in contact with her is in love with her instantly. These are just a couple of things that stand out.
This book introduced a lot of hot bad boys and I will read their stories. If you want to read a bad boy romance this book might fit the bill for you. It just fell short for me especially after just reading a 5 star of this author’s books just prior to this.
About Layla Frost
Layla Frost has always been a rebel. A true badass.
Growing up, Layla used to hide under her blanket with a flashlight to read the Sweet Valley High books she pilfered from her older sister. It wasn’t long before she was reading hidden Harlequins during class at school. This snowballed into pulling all-nighters after the promise of “just one more chapter”.
Her love of reading, especially the romance genre, took root early and has grown immeasurably.
In between reading and writing, Layla spends her free time rocking out(at concerts, on the couch, in the car… Anywhere is a stage if you get into it enough), watching TV(the nerdier the better!), and being a foodie. Though she lives in NY(the state, not the city), she’s an avid Red Sox fan.
