 Synopsis

"It's not you."
There are only so many times a girl can hear those words before she believes that it is, in fact, very much her. Unexpectedly jilted by her locally famous boyfriend and haunted by a boss who makes Attila the Hun look like a lap dog, Bellamy Blake does what any self-respecting girl in her shoes would do. She rounds up her two best girlfriends and makes plans to get the hell out of Dodge.
But Bellamy's escape plan takes a nose dive on the side of rural route 164 when her transmission self-destructs, leaving her in the middle of a cell phone dead zone with nothing but her wits. Oh, and Shane Griffin, the hottest mechanic who's ever checked under her hood.
Yet this small-town man isn't all he seems. Can Shane and Bellamy prove that sometimes the most unlikely ingredients make the most deliciously sexy mix?

 

ARC Provided by Netgalley **4** Sensual  Stars Kimberly Kincaid has become one of my new favorite authors and she is just a wonderfully sweet and gracious lady. I have only read novellas of her up until this book. I'm always honest in my reviews and this will be no different. For the first half of this book I had some feelings of ..hurry the hell up and move along!  But that isn't Kimberly's fault or shouldn't even reflect bad on the story. It's the fact that I've been in the Kimberly fast track with her sizzling sexy novellas for so long that I had to tell myself ... Once I just settled back and really slid deeply into the sweet and sometimes angsty romance I just felt much better about it. Shane and Bellamy came together in what they thought was opposites attracting. But these 2 were way more similar than they ever thought. Both coming to terms with having to accept that life wasn't going the way they wanted it to. Kimberly Kincaid always has some sort of food and cooking aspect into her books and this one followed along right in that way. Bellamy's passion was cooking and the sweet and sexy times in the kitchen were enjoyable. Shane's passion was cars and lets just say that his creative side in a snow storm made some heat of a pretty different nature. All in all this was a sexy and sweet love story that I really enjoyed after I let myself get used to the new way of writing by Kimberly. I'm still a huge fan and will definitely be lining up to read Jackson story. Just his description left me panting and wanting more. He was loyal, sweet and open that I can't wait to see him fall in love. Thanks Kimberly for showing me that the true saying ...good things come to those that wait. View all my reviews
