Blurb
The men of the Twisted Steel custom motorcycle shop are great with their hands... and they're not afraid to get dirty.
PJ is exactly the kind of woman Twisted Steel owner Asa Barrons doesn't need. The last thing he wants to do is mix business with pleasure, and PJ has some of the best custom detailing he's ever seen. But the chemistry between them won't be denied, and soon he's introducing her to a whole new world in the bedroom, pushing her far beyond anything she's ever experienced. PJ finds she can't get enough, but how far is too far before he consumes her completely?
Review: 4 Stars
I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable Opening Up was. Every time I read a few duds, I start to get down in the dumps and convince myself that I'll never read a good book again. (I know, completely unrealistic and overly dramatic). Thankfully, Opening Up brought me out of a slump.
One thing I quite liked about Opening Up is that the main characters talk to each other quite a bit. So often, I have a hard time believing the connection between two lovers because there is minimal dialogue. Asa and PJ actually had thoughtful conversations, which helped to make their connection feel genuine and believable.
I also really appreciated Asa, who exudes alpha hotness without being a jerk about it. So often, alpha males act like they're always right and the women in their lives just yield to whatever beliefs the alpha enforces. Asa is a strong, dominant man who can also show vulnerability, admit when he's wrong and grovel with the best of 'em. His flexibility also leaves room for a interesting dynamic between him and PJ, who is a no nonsense, intelligent and self-possessed woman.
The whole "daddy issues" got a bit boring after a while, but that's just a minor quibble. I am definitely looking forward to the next book in the series.
I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
