After finally getting out of her disastrous relationship, Maya Carmichael has sworn off all bad boys. Sure they’re hot. The attitude? No thanks. But when her car is vandalized while on a night out with her roommate, she realizes her ex is truly sadistic. Her friend insists they lay low for a few days while the cops do their thing. Unfortunately her temporary haven will throw her in the path of another bad boy. Oh, she’s heard stories about her roommate’s brother, Hunter, and he’s just the type she wants to avoid. Until she sees him … and all good intentions fly out of her busted windshield.
Hunter Anderson might be the easygoing jokester within the Bang Shift crew—the small Arkansas town’s mechanics and the government’s secret mercenaries—but underneath his lighthearted exterior lurks demons of a past he’d love nothing more than to forget. Working on cars and taking the occasional contracted mission help, but he fears nothing will stop his past from coming back to haunt him. No one has tried penetrating the façade to get to the real person below. No one, until Maya.
The attraction is undeniable, but there’s more to Hunter than he can ever let on, and for Maya, this hot distraction makes it easy to forget the real danger she’s in. It has nothing to do with losing her heart to him.
When really it has everything to do with just that.
Maya Carmichael is a
twenty-one year old college student. She came from an over-protective family
and didn’t get out much so her dating experience is limited. When Jake Oberman starts to pay attention and
is persistent with his interest, Maya relents and decides to give this bad boy
a chance. It didn’t take her long to see the error of her decision. Jake is
controlling, demanding and, well, there’s just something not right about him so
she ends it. Jake doesn’t take rejection well. After her car is totally trashed one night,
her roommate Heather decides it’s time to get some protection from her brother
Hunter until the police get it together and get Jake off the streets.
Hunter Anderson had made
mistakes in his life. Luckily, he realized a huge mistake in the making before
it was too late, or so he hoped. Years later, he has found the Bang Shift, a
group of mercenaries for hire, mostly for the government, whose cover is a
group of mechanics. Hunter also has his younger sister to worry about since
their parents have both died. She’s in college and doesn’t always make the
right decisions. So when she comes to him because her roommate’s ex-boyfriend
is proving to be obsessed and dangerous, he is less than happy. He wants
nothing to do with Maya, she’s the one that got his sister into this mess in
the first place. Unfortunately for him, the Bang Shift group feels differently.
This book, much like book
#1 seems fairly predictable in its plot, but things are not always as they
seem. Mandy Harbin has a way of taking a typical plot and twisting it in such a
way that it can blow the reader’s mind. Smacking them upside the head with a
good portion of “I DID NOT see that coming!” Not to mention the uber sexy alpha
men that want no part of a relationship, but fall head over heels for the
unexpected female. Maya is not a particularly
strong female in my opinion, but man is she funny! Her inner dialog had me literally
laughing out loud! There aren’t many explicit sex scenes in this book, but what
is, is HOT!! I give this book 4 stars with 3 hands down the pants.
