The Mechanic Gets His Girl: Steamy Small Town Romance (Crimson Creek Book 5) Kindle Edition

4.7 out of 5 stars 23 ratings

When the town's hottest mechanic rescues a stranded chef, things are bound to get spicy.

Chef and photographer Wendy is done with Colorado—and heartbreak. Harassed, fired, evicted and left at the altar, she’s desperate for a fresh start far from her painful past. But when her car breaks down in Crimson Creek, Texas, Wendy wonders if fate is determined to keep her life stalled.

Jake is home from deployment for two short weeks, juggling his auto shop, his hovering mom and the chaos of an ex claiming he's the father of her child. Saving Wendy from a rainy roadside breakdown was supposed to be simple—not the start of a delicious distraction he never expected.

Something irresistible simmers between the two of them. But with Jake's ex stirring drama, a demanding new job at the local Bed and Breakfast and the looming end of Jake's leave, the recipe for romance might burn before they taste real happiness.

The Mechanic Gets His Girl is a steamy small-town romance featuring sizzling chemistry, second-chance hope, and a heat level that'll have you craving more.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Jane Poller read her way through middle school, and she swore someday she’d be an author. Romance books got her through countless life changes… moves, degrees, having kids, deployments, teaching high school, international living, health coaching, running a wellness business, homeschooling, and more.

She finally gave in to the characters in her head demanding their stories be told. The Crimson Creek series is a contemporary steamy small fictional town in Texas that's full of hot heroes and sassy women.

Speaking of, she lives in Texas with her middle school sweetheart. He’s her real-life hero, Army veteran, and the inspiration for her stories. When she’s not doing all the things, she’s reading and writing. Or arguing with her characters, who refuse to do what she wants.

But that’s par for the course, since she’s currently homeschooling two teenagers and two dogs. Those reviews really brighten her day and are much appreciated.

    Get those tissues ready—you’re going to need them! This is such a beautifully written story…the storyline is absolutely believable; the characters are well developed; the plot will have your heart in your throat multiple times; and the HEA will definitely result in much sobbing. I’m glad no one but the dog was here to listen to my sobbing! This is another Crimson Creek novel that definitely deserves to be in your library. Get your copy today! ❤️❤️

    Book five did not disappoint! Return to Crimson Creek for the love story of Jake and Wendy, you will be glad you did! Compelling characters, laugh out loud quips, and a whirlwind romance that will sweep you off your feet… what’s not to love? Jake is a steamy hunk, and Wendy is sweet and hilarious. I couldn’t put this book down! Can’t wait to read the next in the series.

    Well written I couldn't put it down. This is my first book ny this author so I am thrilled to see more books to read.

    I love it when both the male and female leads have issues that they have to resolve within themselves before they can move on. In this case, Jakeass (his nickname Lol - and richly deserved!) was the one who really needed to work on him himself. He did have some reasons for his reluctance to experience more heartbreak, but the good news is, he had the courage to dig deep and let go of those old fears.

    Really good book with a lot of in-depth background. Sometimes these stories are too short and it leaves me wanting more background. The story was perfect.

    I absolutely loved these characters! As always, I love hearing about the ones that we’ve already met in the previous books. I love the updates on what’s happening with them, and how they flow so well with the next books! I cannot wait to see what is next! Thank you so much for the arc! I still can’t pick a favorite man yet😉!!

    I loved reading the story of Wendy and Jake. There were fun twists and turns and lots of hotness. My favorite part was the laughter. I recommend this book, well worth the read.

    This is a great read! I read the one of the previous books and was introduced to Wendy who was BFF's with Maryanne who married the Sheriff. That was another awesome book. This author tells a great swoon worthy story and her books are full length and I loved it. We get to know our characters and love them and she also included their friends from the previous books so we get the chance to catch up with them as well.

    Wendy and Jake have chemistry and decide to take advantage of his two week leave from the Army. They both think they will not catch feelings and when he leaves they both will move on... hmmmm how's that going to work when they can't keep their hands off one another and his helicopter mama who never liked any girl he was with (he's 32), loves Wendy and calls her his girlfriend! This mechanic and chef cook up some spicy scenes and you are definitely rooting for them!

    IF you've never read this author as I have, do yourself a favor and start this series from the beginning, you will not be disappointed. She gives you everything you want in a small town romance and you really get sucked in and can't put the book down... I know I did!!.

    Jake is home on a two week leave, when his family gets a call for a tow truck. Wendy had her vehicle die while on her way to stay with a friend in the town. Jake and Wendy - Jakeass and Peaches - start their two week relationship at that point while their lives drastically change. A large Character group is well developed with great backstories, determination and lots of joking. Loved the storyline as the varied personalities and gossips try to figure everything out. Drama, steam, twists, surprises, exes, a little boy, fantastic best friends, revelations and much more keep the pages turning. This is one that I stayed up all night to read.
