BLURB:
Rough and tumble biker, Harold Jackson, has no interests beyond making sure his grandmother, MiMi, has everything she needs, stepping into the boxing ring every once in a while, and working his life away in his automotive garage, Jackson’s Auto. When a sassy little number walks into his life through an open bay door, Jackson doesn’t know what to think. Westley is witty, adorable, and has no qualms about going head to head with him. Then Westley announces that he works for Valentine’s Inc. and has been hired to help Jackson jump back into the dating scene. Will he dig his heels in or open himself up to find out what he’s been missing?
Work, school, work, repeat. Westley’s life feels like it’s on a constant loop running from one job to the next trying to make ends meet and pay for his online classes. Being a dating specialist for Valentine’s Inc. isn’t the most steady work, but it’s always an adventure. Only he never imagined someone’s grandmother hiring him to woo her grandson out of his shell. Jackson isn’t like anyone he’s ever been on a date with, for work or pleasure, but he’s determined to help the rough man let out more of the tender side he keeps under wraps, even if Westley can’t keep him for himself.
REVIEW:
Yep. I am definitely loving this series. I also just realized I use the word definitely a lot lol. Anywho, this was so good. Not only was it sweet and romantic but it was funny as can be in parts. I don’t know about you, but I think relationships need good laughs in it.
‘Harold’ , gah he hated that name, Jackson got the surprise of his life in a spunky little package named Westley. His ‘Mimi’ decided he’s been alone long enough and it was time for him to get back in the game. So she hired Westley from the Valentine’s Inc company for Jackson to have three dates with. Jackson was awestruck and quite grumpy about it but Westley refused to be cowed. He gave as good as he got and went toe to toe with Jackson in quips. Jackson took his 3 dates. (Later whined to Mimi about it, but did it.) What he didn’t expect was how quickly Westley got to him. And how much after only one date, Jackson didn’t want to let Westley go.
Oh the quips with these two. So so funny. But I loved these two. Westley didn’t back down. He didn’t take any crap from Jackson. But Jackson showed Westley, that he may have been out of the game for a while, but he still knew how to treat a date. He was charming, sensitive and sweet. He listened and was attentive. Was a little booger too. Westley I just wanted to hug. He needed the sweet gentleman that Jackson was being. Even during an MMA match, Jackson was still the best to Westley. And Westley needed that, needed that connection. Having a rough past made him insecure and full of doubts at times and Jackson was perfect for him. They were perfect for each other. Giving each other what they needed.
I knew I was going to love this series after book 1 and I was right. These are some romantic short story that just leave your heart weeping for more. Even to an old cynic like me.
