Publisher Description

Now a multi-award-winning book!
Book 1 in the Edie's Automotive Guide series 

Running an auto shop is hard; running an auto shop as a woman is harder; running an auto shop with your ex--who is about to become your STEP-FATHER--and his hot brother is just too much. (And then there's the rooster.)

Edie Becker is living her childhood dream of running her grandfather's auto shop. She just didn't count on having to share ownership of the company with two other people. Specifically, her ex-fiancé and his gorgeous older brother, Luke.

When Luke rolls into town for the first time in years, he has news that changes everything--he's now the majority shareholder and he needs to sell the auto shop, and Edie's house next door, as soon as he can. To make matters worse, Edie's ex-fiancé has just proposed...to her mother.

Edie's determined to find a way to save her auto shop, to finally stand up to her heinous mother, and to not kiss Luke ever again...especially since he didn't kiss her back. If Edie's plans don't work, she'll be unemployed, homeless, and worse: heartbroken.

Get ready to laugh-out-loud and fall in love with a kick-ass woman, a sexy as hell man, and an insomniac guard rooster.

Editorial Review:
"It made me laugh, cry, and want to throat punch a few characters and gave me an absolutely swoon-worthy happy ending! Edie is awesomely strong and spunky and she and Luke are so perfect for each other. Loved the book, it's definitely one I'd reread!" - USA Today bestselling author Kira Archer

MichelleLux ,

Gluten intolerance, romance... and then there’s the rooster!

The passion Ms. Novak has for her characters and her writing always shines through. While a departure from her paranormal Lynch Bros. Series, this contemporary comedic romance is, as always with her books, perfection. Ms. Novak draws you in with the opening chapter and, trust me, you won’t want to put this book down. Edie and Luke’s evolution as a couple, and their bumpy ride, evokes all the feelings of fresh love. Edie’s relationships with those around her is beautiful, she is pure and a joy. Honestly, I would love to have an Edie in my life, someone in my corner to be there for me when I need her. Her willingness to possibly lose everything she holds dear in life to help the one person who is her everything, well, it’s awe inspiring, and at the same time, real.

I've realized that I don't know how to verbalize the change in Will in this book. No, really. It's a beautiful thing to start out not liking a character, then despising, then hating him, and in ONE scene, (as Edie says) grudgingly respect him. It's immensely beautiful.

I love that Ms. Novak included little chapter headings with Edie’s Auto Tips. They’re hilarious, poignant, or just dang relatable. Edie’s gluten intolerance hits close to home as my husband has celiac and I can tell that Ms. Novak really understands the intricacies of eating gluten free.

And then there’s the rooster. Sgt. Cornflakes is awesome, just in case you were wondering. If I didn’t live in crowded suburbs, I might have tried to figure out a way to convince my husband to let me get one.
