Miss Mechanic - Emma Hart (Review)

Published Date: December 12, 2017

Genre: Romance

Synopsis: “Don’t let the bastards get you down.”
For twenty-six years, I lived by my daddy’s motto. Which is why “Mechanic Wanted” is all it takes for me to apply for the job at the garage we once owned. 
And I meet the biggest bastard of them all.
Dexter Ryne. Hotter than Hell in July and a firm believer that my place is on reception, taking phone calls and looking pretty. Not getting dirty under the hood of a car. 
Determined to prove each other wrong, we make a deal.
I have three weeks to prove my worth as a mechanic. If I don’t, I’m on telephone duty.
If I do, he’ll accept defeat and make my job permanent. 
Now, all I have to do is fight my attraction to the cocky little… beep.
Problem is, an engine isn’t the only thing he knows how to make purr…

MISS MECHANIC, a standalone romantic comedy from New York Times bestseller, Emma Hart.

Oh hey, girl, heyyyy. 

I loved Jaimie and I want her to be my new best friend. Right along with Noelle. While this book was super centered on the sexy, it was still pretty sexy. The smut, the sex, and the sass. What more can you ask for out of a book? 

Nothing? 

That's what I thought. 

That is why you should one-click this book whether it is paperback or kindle because hello, gender flip. Emma Hart and her awesome idea of putting women in men's positions is amazing. Like five stars amazing. Jaimie is sassy and I absolutely love the fact that I can be a part of her journey. Even for a few pages worth. 

Miss Mechanic will be your next favorite gender flip. 

What does Hart have planned next? Who knows but what I do know is that it will be great. 

Throw that wrench at me so that I can see five stars forever.

Release Date: Miss Fix It - Emma Hart

     

One handywoman.

One single dad.

One set of twins.

And the wall isn’t the only thing being drilled…

I learned the hard way that being a handywoman isn’t easy. The questions, the stares—the assumption I’m the proud owner of a cock and balls. Not that it matters. I’ve proven over and over that I’m ready for anything the judgmental asses throw at me.

Except the hot, single dad of twins who just moved to town.

Brantley Cooper gets the shock of his life when I show up on his doorstep to fix up his kids’ new rooms. His son is confused why ‘the pretty lady has a drill,’ and his daughter has a new obsession—me.

On paper, my job is easy. Go in, do their bedrooms, and leave.

In theory, I’m spending eight hours a day with a guarded, sexy as hell guy, and I’m staying for dinner more often than I’m eating it alone, on my couch, with Friends re-runs.

I shouldn’t be staying for dinner. I shouldn’t be helping him out with the twins. I shouldn’t be falling in love with tiny toes and dimpled cheeks.

And I most definitely should not be kissing my client.

Oops…

          “I swear, messing with me is your new favorite hobby.” “It is,” he admitted, eyes sparkling. “You’re so easy to mess with, I don’t even have to try.” I rolled my eyes. “And to think—I let myself be guilt-tripped into this.” “More fool you. I warned you about her, and you obviously didn’t listen.” “That’s so not fair. I did listen, I just don’t have freaky skills to avoid the guilt like you do.” “I don’t avoid the guilt. I pretend.” “Would you have pretended if you were me, knowing you’d leave a poor guy to be lonely?” He raised his eyebrows. “I wouldn’t have been lonely. I’d have watched TV with my pants off.” “You don’t get to use my plans as an excuse,” I scoffed. “And unless your daughter is a master manipulator, you would have been lonely.” “She’s four. All four-year-olds are master manipulators. If kids came with manuals, that would be the title of the chapter that talks about age four,” he said. “There are technically manuals. They’re these wonderful, futuristic things called books.” “None of which are geared toward a single dad,” he pointed out. “The last time I Googled something, I diagnosed Eli with a rare, deadly disease, learned that there are way too many styles of braid for any human being to master, and also found out how to get the kids out of the door by eight and have time to do my make-up.” I paused. “I can see how that last one would be of use to you.

ARC: Being Brooke - Emma Hart

Published Date: December 13, 2016

Genre: Romantic Comedy

Synopsis: My name is Brooke Barker...

And I'm a freaking disaster.

No, seriously. I’m a college drop-out working a dead-end job, my best friend Carly’s dog gets more action than I do, and I have more bad dates in my diary than there are movie remakes. 

Not to mention I'm completely and utterly in love with Cain Elliott.

The problem? He’s in a relationship. With a girl who’s so plastic she makes Barbie cry herself to sleep with jealousy. 

The second problem? He's my best friend.

My shut-up-and-put-on-Harry-Potter, yes-this-is-your-shirt, help-I-have-no-power, crap-I’m-out-of-tampons, kinda best friend. 

And that’s all he can be, right?

Right.

WELL CRAP. I haven't posted on here in forever and I think i have shamed myself into not being a book blogger because of how bad I am at reviewing nowadays. I stick to Amazon really when it comes down to it. 

Here is what I had to say for Being Brooke: 

Okay, when I woke up to an early release of Being Brooke, I knew I had to have it in my life.

Being Brooke is ultimately funny and witty and definitely a one-day read. Life Tips from Brooke are essential to an every day life and will help you aspire to everything you want to be. Just because it's Brooke, I am going to say that she is ultimately my spirit animal because that girl knows how to tell it like it is.

Unless it comes to her best friend and her feelings. Because who needs the feels? I don't. I really don't. But this book made me do just that. Especially since I didn't get sit on by a donkey with diarrhea. Just saying.

I loved this book and just saying, the Life Tips really help a girl out when it comes down to things.

ARC: Twirled Bond - Emma Hart (Holly Woods Files #5)

   

Synopsis: If I thought Holly Woods was crazy before, I was wrong. Devin is finally married. Nonna's on the wedding warpath. Drake might be getting ideas. His mom just dropped a bombshell, and Bek is caught between a hot as hell FBI agent and my super-sweet little brother. And I still don't have the shoe closet Drake promised me when he moved in six months ago. At least there's one positive: the old, abandoned Holly Woods Theater is about to reopen, and there's nothing like a theater opening to bring people together... And make crazy grandmothers forget proposal agendas. Until that theater comes with a dead body. A very, very, very dead body. Chaos is coming to town. Everything I've ever known about Holly Woods might just be about to change.      

Amazon US | Amazon UK | iBooks | B&N

Review: YES, YES, YES, YES! The sixth installment is finally here and I loved every single moment of it! You know those moments where you know you are just going to be in love with the book even though you haven't read it yet? 

Yeah, that is definitely how i feel about all of Emma's books. Especially as a tearjerker like this. I cannot believe that she pulled this one on us but it really did make me cry throughout. No spoilers but have tissues at the ready. 

Not only does she write this book in such a way that you can see her thought process like: "Boom, plot twist here. No, wait, that wasn't the plot twist... Or was it?" I swear that I could see these words just getting pulled out of Emma's mind. 

So, obviously, I loved this with a huge 5 out of 5 stars.

ARC: Tied Bond - Emma Hart (Holly Woods Files #4)

Published Date: February 24, 2016

Genre: Romance

Synopsis: Holly Woods is going to hell in a handbasket—but this time, Satanists aren’t to blame. Halloween is.

Nonna doesn’t understand why there are skeletons and demons everywhere. Mom is threatening to stitch a devil into Nonna’s pillowcase if she doesn’t shut up. Bek is bumbling over a date with Jason, the handsome FBI agent who conveniently got himself relocated to Austin, and I… Well. I’m considering running away to a town without the crazies.

Nothing new here.

Everything is going smoothly—too smoothly—and I can’t shake the feeling that something is about to happen. Drake insists I’m being paranoid… But when a body turns up at the Holly Woods Halloween party, we have a whole lot more than a murderer to worry about.

Because the prime suspect is his mom.

And it’s my job to prove she’s innocent.

It was quiet in Austin. Almost too quiet. It makes Noelle quite unsettled especially after the adrenaline running through her veins after the last three encounters with murderers. Guns in her face. Maybe it's because she does''t have reason to go trigger finger happy. 

I want to learn how to shoot a gun. But from the Bonds, of course. Why would I want to learn from someone else?

In the previous books, you fell in love with Nonna and even the ever loving shite out of Gio. The flirting parrot. Nonna makes a bigger impression on you in this book because there are some shocking revelations. Your sides will hurt from this book. 

Noelle and Drake's love radiates from these pages and Emma Hart doesn't disappoint. This is a book that you need to 1-Click and love the ever loving shite out of this book. I am anticipating the other books of Holly Woods Files because I need more Noelle. More Drake. More Nonna. 

I sigh for Drake. Can I please keep him?

I wanted to cry somewhere in this book because of what happens but again, I was not surprised that I loved this book. I need more and more and more. So... Maybe I listened to Britney Spears before writing this review. A spectacular 5 out of 5 stars. 

Can I have more now, Emma? Please?

Tethered Bond - Emma Hart (Holly Woods Files #3)

Published Date: November 13, 2015

Genre: Romance

Synopsis: Detective Drake Nash: hot, alpha, bossy, and… mine.

Now, if someone could tell his ex that... I don’t care if the summer fayre is coming to Holly Woods and she’s on the planning committee. What I do care about is sugar-filled food, bright lights, late nights… and danger. The type that won’t come in the form of Nonna’s new cantankerous British parrot, Gio. (Please see the damage done to Mom’s new curtains.)

Unfortunately, when the danger comes, it comes in the form of something Holly Woods has never seen. The town is rocked to its core, and once again, I’m in danger. Only this time, it isn’t because of my clients—this time, I’m in danger because of who I am… Because of my heritage.

And despite the HWPD’s best efforts, the bodies keep on piling up.

Drake’s determined to protect me. I’m determined that I can do it myself.

Danger. Mystery. Darkness. Malice.

It’ll be a miracle if any of us make it out of this with guns unfired, cupcakes still frosted, and hearts intact…

OK. Let's get started. First off, ever since I met Noelle Bond through Emma Hart and each of these cases and files get even more gruesome than the previous. In all honesty, although it faces some gruesome stuff that I hope to never have to encounter. Noel has the right to be paranoid and in all honesty, when I started the series, I wanted to be Noelle. Now? Not so much.

But in all honesty, you kind of have to fall in love with Drake and Noelle. You thought that you got twisted up in this book but then, bam. Emma Hart hits us with it again and we got tangled up in their relationship as it grows continuously. Now, we are forever tethered to them. 

I am too nasty to wait for the 4th installment so can we put a rush on it? Please and thank you. What new horror stories will Drake and Noelle have to endure. What will they overcome again? I am just anticipating on my toes for you to come back with more.

This story almost made me want to cry and run back to my old religion because I wanted to pray to something or someone. Satanists scare the heebie jeebies out of me and the fact that they were what were portrayed, I wanted to crawl into a corner and cry. Drake Nash, hold me please! Even Brody Bond can hold me. Trent and Gavin are completely taken but then again so is Drake Nash... He's an acceptation.

You know what Emma should do? Write a book from Drake's perspective. Oh, the feels. Please do this. I don't know if you are reading this but I want this so much. Filled with action, romance, and angst, it's got me feeling stuff that you shouldn't be feeling. Like crying out of happiness.

Now people, if you want to add onto your book boyfriends or girlfriends, this the series to fall for and you cannot deny the satisfaction from finishing this book. Or this series. I mean, it's just satisfaction when you read a book but the romance is overbearing and you want to gag at it. I love romance stories but this more or less focuses on how two people, despite their differences, come together to solve the shit out of these cases.

More or less, so far, what I have realized is that Noelle likes danger. She acts like danger finds her but as a private investigator, she finds herself sticking her noses in places she knows shouldn't be there but cannot resist. Sorry, I am laughing while typing that last sentence because it honestly, kind of, sort of, reminds me of myself.

Noelle has no filter and I think that is what made me fall in love with her even more and tolerate her as a MC... Though I would have preferred it be Drake. But who's listening to me anyways. I rate this book a good 4.4 out of 5 stars and Emma's writing hasn't disappointed me yet. Let's see where 2016 takes her for the Holly Woods Files.

Tangled Bond - Emma Hart (Holly Woods Files #2)

Published Date: July 30, 2015

Genre: Romance

Synopsis: One date with the sexier-than-sin Detective Drake Nash. Simple.

Until you take into account that my brother finally proposed to his girlfriend, so Nonna is on a warpath—and the crazy old bat has Cupid by the balls.

The upcoming mayoral elections has everyone running on full speed, and while I couldn’t give any less craps about the corrupt Holly Woods mayor’s office, a dead body in the middle of a campaign speech has me thrown right into the middle of it. The victim is close to the mayor, but all he cares about is minimizing the damage to his campaign, so he hires me to work alongside Drake to close the case as quickly as possible.

Bad news for our tentative relationship.

We disagree far more than we agree, but being at loggerheads won’t get this murder solved… Or deal with the arrival of someone from his past.
The mysteries behind the murder aren’t the only things unraveling, and despite being knee-deep in lies and corruption and bonds so tangled they’re almost indecipherable, I have to figure out if I’m willing to fight for Drake the way I do justice…
Or if he’ll be my one who gets away.

After I read the first book of Emma Hart in the Holly Woods Files series, I was thrilled to start the second. However, I wasn't as impressed as I should have been. If I am interested in a book, I will finish within a day flat. But I had to stop reading every now and then. 

I felt bad for Noelle in this book because of a plot twist or should I say twists. I don't want any spoilers for this book because it wasn't god awful where I would never read again but I would come back to it if I was dying of boredom and the last book on Earth was this one. 

Drake and Noelle's relationship deepens in this book and you can see that in reality, you just want that. I want Drake and Noelle's life to happen to me. It's thrilling. It's romantic. It's funny. Like come on, now. Please? With a cherry on top? Or maybe Drake Nash. LOL.

I think that I am liking the series so far but needless to say, I wasn't really impressed with this particular segment in Drake and Noelle's life.

Although they fight like no other, as Noona says, when you stop fighting, that's when you stop caring. Damn, Noona. That was deep and I think that is my life saying. Don't stop fighting with the ones you love. I mean, I definitely won't because that's how you show affection to them.

Okay, a new character or two, or three are introduced in this book and well, one of them will drive you insane as you think of her a some goblin hobbit looking Mrs. Robinson. She only sleeps her way to the top as some do. It's honestly sad that these books do portray a reality that is unseen. 

I rate this book a solid 3 out of 5 stars.

Twisted Bond - Emma Hart (Holly Woods Files #1)

Published Date: June 11, 2015

Genre: Romance

Synopsis: I’m an Italian-Texan woman in a family full of cops. I’m passionate and shoot before I think. You only f*ck with me if you’re stupid.

Photograph cheating spouses. Hand over the evidence. Cash my check.
That was my plan when I returned home to Holly Woods, Texas, and became a private investigator.
Finding the dead body in my dumpster? Yeah… Given the choice, I think I would have opted out of that little discovery, especially since all three of my brothers are cops. And my Italian grandmother is sure the reason I’m single is because of my job.
Of course, my connection to the victim is entirely coincidental. Until I’m hired by her husband to investigate her murder and shoved bang-smack into the path of Detective Drake Nash. My nemesis, a persistent pain in my ass, and one hell of a sexy son of a bitch.
Shame he still holds a grudge from that time I shot him in the foot twelve years ago, or we could have something. In another life.
So now all I have to do is avoid my nonna’s blind dates, try not to blackmail my brothers into giving me confidential police files, and absolutely do not point my gun at Drake Nash. Or kiss him. Or jump his bones.
All while I hunt down the killer.
Sounds totally simple—until a second body proves that sometimes things that start as coincidences don’t always end up that way…

(Twisted Bond is book one of the Holly Woods Files series and while it does not end in a cliffhanger, it is not a standalone.)

Damn it all, Emma Hart. You just added onto my book boyfriends list with, not one, but FOUR new guys. Like are you kidding me? Just kidding. I love hoarding all of my book boyfriends because well, I fangirl over them all the damn time.

Experiencing Emma Hart for the first ever since meeting her through Facebook, I just cannot get enough of her. I mean, Noella, or as Noona calls her, Noelle-a, is a freaking badass when it comes to this. I mean she could shoot a bullseyes probably with her eyes closed. She's snarky and in all honesty, I could see myself in her because she is a people-hating person but she will help those in need. Not saying that I am saying I am these but she's smart, beautiful, funny, and passionate. 

I've never lived a life through a PI and now that I have experienced it, I don't think that I could go back. I mean, she's the bearer of bad news and the way she describes how people take the news is hilarious. There are the few who accept the news, pay here and continue on their way. There are those in denial and it is hilarious when they scream and shout because they refuse to accept the fact the news is bad.

I kind of want to be in a room where a PI breaks the news because damn, it would be hilarious to see the latter of the aforementioned. Then boom, we are hit with Drake Nash and boy, he's every woman and man's dream. I mean, your clothes just kind off want to fall off when you imagine Drake Nash and him prowling towards you. Yeah... Just take a moment to imagine that. LOL.

Ovaries exploded.

Time to read Tangled Bond and get some more of Drake and Noelle because this book was a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
