Authors: Kerrigan Byrne & Cynthia St. Aubin
Release Date: August 29, 2023


REVIEW:
4.5 Stars
Third book in this awesome series written by two great authors. I couldn't put this one down. I fell for Gabe and Gemma right away. Gabe we got to know a tad in the previous book. I feel like Gemma is my spirit sister. She rage knits and I can tell you it is a thing because I do it. My grandpa used to tell me he could see the sparks flying. What I truly love about this series is these characters are unapologetically themselves. They show things every day people including me deal with. Trust me the struggle is real. So love the representation in this series. I loved Gabe for Gemma. She needs someone like the delicious man in her corner and he accepts her for her and her "flaws".  Then in turn she does the same for Gabe. She brings beautiful light to his life that he never had. Gemma is someone I would want as a friends not just so I could visit her shop all the time, but because she has a kind heart of gold. Now this book also has plenty of humor that had me laughing quite often. With the quirky characters and who the authors are you know this book is going to have a good sense of humor. Gemma proves to herself she may be a "mess", but she can step up to bat at the most important times and ones that truly count. I highly recommend this one!! 

BLURB:
From USA Today and Amazon Charts bestselling authors Kerrigan Byrne and Cynthia St. Aubin, comes their latest Romcom featuring a quirky cast of characters who represent the hilarious absurdity of life while making you fall head-over-heels in love. This steamy, laugh out loud, opposites-attract small town romance reminds us that we don't have to be perfect to deserve our own happily ever after!

Gemini "Gemma" McKendrick knows just about everything about everybody in Townsend Harbor. When she's not serving on one of the many civic positions or leaping headlong into another hobby, she's hosting the Sunday Stitch 'N Bitch at her yarn and craft shop, Bazaar Girls. With her quirky boutique in big financial trouble, she makes a snap decision to rent out the basement of her cozy craftsman to Townsend Harbor newcomer Gabe Kelly. A man with a past as colorful as his tattoo sleeves, who has become an urban legend since he blew into town. And who better than Gemma, Townsend Harbor's own gossip guru, to answer the rumor mill's most pressing questions? Like whether the silver-tongued mechanic is as good with his hands as he is with a socket wrench.

Gabriel "Gabe" Kelly wasn't born into a family so much as a criminal enterprise. Taught to lift, chop, and rebuild cars since before he could tie his own shoes, he's obliged to pay his debt to society before deserting South Boston for Townsend Harbor, Washington. Surely he can stay out of trouble here, right? He immediately finds the only position an ex-con with prison muscles and neck tattoos could easily find in a town like this, and buys the vintage car mechanic shop from it's retiring owner . Moonlighting as the only tow truck in a thirty-mile radius, he rescues the absent-minded hottie who runs the local yarn shop. But he quickly discovers that a toy-sized car with a dashboard lit up by Christmas isn't the only thing in Gemma McKendrick's life desperately in need of maintenance. Gabe, who is uniquely qualified to diagnose and fix complicated mechanisms, finds his sexy landlord is impossible to figure out. Looks like he'll have to take a peek at her undercarriage to find out what makes her purr before he hits the road again.
Because women of her caliber don't take home guys with his make and model...

But he knows she wants a test drive.
