One Sexy Ride (Thompson & Sons #2)
by Vivian Arend
Blurb:
His goal is to stand firm
As
the middle child in a big family, Len Thompson has found it easy to slip under
the radar. His relationships outside the family-run garage tend to run a mile
wide but only an inch deep as he keeps his heart, body and soul protected. But
when the one woman he’s always wanted makes it known she’ll soon be leaving
town, he can’t resist letting her into his carefully constructed fortress.
Her gift is rocking his world
Chasing
her best friend’s big brother has both entertained and frustrated Janey for
years. She’s not sure what triggered his change of heart, but hell, yeah,
she’ll accept it. All of it. Every kiss, every touch, every bit of body-shaking
pleasure. Working to meet her renovation deadline is suddenly not nearly as
interesting as the mind-blowing escapades she’s enjoying with the big sexy
mechanic.
When
old fears threaten, Len must finally choose—face his past or let their future
crumble.

Review:
Another interesting story about a sexy strong
and sweet man and the woman who has always held his heart. Arend of course does this like no other,
taking us through some heated loving to the sweet and often sad relationship
building that leads to true love and HEA.
I’ve loved this series from the first I heard about it and I am thrilled
to have the chance to spread the news about this greatness. If you love sexy
men, often greasy from a hard day of working under an engine you can bet this
story is for you.
Len
is finally giving in to his feelings for Janey, the woman who has held his
heart since they were both teens. He
knows their time together will be limited and this is the only reason he will
allow himself to become her lover, knowing she won’t be hurt when their relationship
ends, because they’ll go into knowing it won’t last. But Janey has never done what was expected of
her and she quickly finds herself falling in love with Len, more than just the
love of a girl, the deep abiding love of the woman she has become. Working side
by side and exploring their long time passion, both Janey and Len never see the
hard truths that they might soon be facing.
I
loved Len for so many reasons. Firstly it’s
obvious that he gave his heart to Janey long ago, and has remained faithful to
that love, even knowing he would never see a future with her. While he is sexy as hell, he is the sweetest
of the all boys, with the kindest heart and obviously he feels pain and sadness
more than the others. He has carried the
grief of his mother’s loss with him along with a huge amount of guilt that no child should have to carry and it has kept him from going after his heart’s
desire. Janey is an adventurous, sexy,
and hard as nails woman, who refuses to let the man she loves slip through her
fingers. But when faced with his
inability to commit to a future for them, she decides she is strong enough to live
without him, no matter how much it breaks her heart. I liked that she was so determined
to show Len just how much he is worth to her, but I wish she had kicked his
ass instead of letting him try to break them apart.
In
the end, Len pulls his heart out of the darkness he has wrapped it in and sees
that sometimes any pain is worth the happiness of living a life with the one
who loves you unconditionally. I loved
seeing him blossom with Janey, embracing his sensual nature and also the sweetness
that he shows exclusively to Janey. He is one of those characters that you can’t
help but love and feel sorry for, even when he is being an idiot. Janey is my kind of girl for sure. Sexy, strong, and passionate in both her work
and her personal life, she pushes forward in life, not allowing anything to
knock her off her goals. I was thrilled to see them find their love and be able
to move beyond their fears and hang-ups to find a chance at a future. I am loving every book in this series and
cannot wait to see the women the next two brothers fall for. As always with this author there was an
intense level of passion and there were some serious sexy moments that couldn’t
have been more endearing at the same time.
If you haven’t read the others in their series, you’re missing out, but
you will still love Len and Janey’s story.
Another great love story between two people with such different outlooks
on life.
