All is fair in love and auto maintenance.

Beau Winston is the nicest, most accommodating guy in the world. Usually.


Handsome as the devil and twice as charismatic, Beau lives a charmed life as everyone’s favorite Winston Brother. But since his twin decided to leave town, and his other brother hired a stunning human-porcupine hybrid as a replacement mechanic for their auto shop, Beau Winston’s charmed life has gone to hell in a handbasket.

Shelly Sullivan is not nice and is never accommodating. Ever.

She mumbles to herself, but won’t respond when asked a question. She glares at everyone, especially babies. She won’t shake hands with or touch another person, but has no problems cuddling with a dog. And her damn parrot speaks only in curse words.

Beau wants her gone. He wants her out of his auto shop, out of Tennessee, and out of his life.

The only problem is, learning why this porcupine wears her coat of spikes opens a Pandora’s box of complexity—exquisite, tempting, heartbreaking complexity—and Beau Winston soon discovers being nice and accommodating might mean losing what matters most.

First Chapter, First Paragraph Tuesday, August 8th



First Chapter, First Paragraph Tuesday Intros. is hosted by Bibliophile By the Sea and is all about sharing the first paragraph or two from a book you are about to read. I'll be starting The Carnelian Crow by Colleen Gleason.  This is the fourth book in the Stoker and Holmes series, which focuses on the mystery solving daughters of Bram Stoker and Sherlock Holmes. I'm really looking forward to it! It will also be #36 in my #Sixtybooks challenge for 2017.

"There was a soft tapping at my window. Normally it wouldn't have disturbed me, as I am blessed with the ability to slumber deeply, but tonight I was wide awake.  Unfortunately, that had been the case for many weeks now. The dark circles beneath my eyes had become large and puffy enough that even Mrs. Raskill had seen fit to make comment."



Would you keep reading?
Have a great week!

WWW Wednesday, August 2nd



Welcome to WWW Wednesday! This meme is now hosted by Taking on a World of Words. Just answer these three questions to share what is going on in your reading life and to give others some great book recommendations.

What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?


I always have one print book/kindle book and one audio book going at the same time.

I'm currently listening to Dark Rites by Heather Graham.  This is part of the Krewe of Hunters series and is paranormal romance. I'm reading Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman on my Kindle.  I've heard great things about it and I love the cover.



I actually finished a few books over the last week.  I've read three of the Old School Series books by Jenny Schwartz.  These are also paranormal romance.  They aren't deep in any way and a bit predictable but also just fun quick mystery romances with a supernatural twist.  They are each stand alone but characters from other books in the series are mentioned.



Next up are two books I've been waiting for.  The first is the fourth book in the Stoker and Holmes series, The Carnelian Crow.  The second is The final book in the Jackaby series, The Dire King. This one comes out on the 22nd and I'm looking forward to seeing how the series ends.  :)
