Collision Course (Body Shop Bad Boys #4)
by Marie Harte
Blurb:
Joey
knows all about mistakes. After getting pregnant at fifteen, she's spent the
past nine years building a life for her and her son. This sexy mechanic is one
misstep she's not going to make. But the more time she spends with Lou, the
hotter things get. Soon Joey's left with a choice: keep things casual, or
reveal all to Lou and hope he accepts her-and her son-for who they are.

Review:
The long awaited finale has arrived as the
final Bad boy in the body shop finds love with the woman who is his perfect
match, even if he never realized she was exactly what he was looking for. This
long running series is one that has been spun from and is a spin-off series
itself as Marie Harte has intertwined her many series and characters to give her
readers a truly unique experience if they follow all her writing. I have been a
particular fan of this series, but who can resist seeing tattooed mechanics with
dirty mouths and even dirtier minds. Lou
comes from a huge family of women, so he is no stranger to the female psyche
and he knows just what he wants from the opposite sex, which is a no-strings
fun time with a woman that will walk away just as freely when they end their
relationship. Joey has paid for a
mistake she made at fifteen for a long time, though her son might be a mistake to
others but he is her greatest joy and her greatest motivation to better her
life. When she meets Lou she knows he is
trouble, but he is irresistible to her, and she soon finds herself giving in to
the sexual pull she feels for him. Lou
is having a wonderful time with Joey, even though he feels differently about
her from the beginning, and when he learns about the part of her life she has
been keeping separate from him he begins to wonder if they can be
together. I loved seeing Lou lose his
heart finally and come to terms with his own hang-ups with his past in order to
find a way to open up to Joey and have a future. I never imagined just how many fears he hid
behind his bravado or how much responsibility he takes on his shoulders for his
family. Joey has her own bit of growing
to do and when she finally decides she has paid enough for her “mistake”, the
weight that has held her down so long is finally released, allowing for her to
move on with her life and truly live it for the first time. Joey and Lou might
not seem immediately made for one another but you see more and more that they
truly are meant for each other, which
is more important than any of their superficial expectations. The heat these two generated could have
caused an explosion that would have burned down the entire town, but luckily
the underlying warmth of love was always there to allow the fires to be banked
and sustained. While Lou was the last of the Body shop guys to fall, I think
there might just be another spin off coming or at least some side characters
that have been introduced that might get
their own stories and I am SERIOUSLY looking forward to that. Thanks for another adventure in love, drama,
and mayhem, Marie.
