Loved the character of Piper Skye - about to turn 21 and sweet, smart, sassy, says it like it is, thoughtful and way more mature than her years - AND she doesn't LEAVE at the slightest issue !!! She's attending college but baking is her passion as she runs her small but lucrative business from her home. 
 Jacoby [Jake] Hyde at 34 owns a high-end Boston garage that caters to both locals and celebrities, along with the Hyde boys - all drool-worthy and hot as Hades but also sweet, protective and loyal to a fault. 
 When Piper needs some specialty work done on her delivery van she meets up with the tall, tatted, gorgeous Jake and there's an instant chemistry that morphs into a friendship and then much more. Things move fast between these two but throughout the issues with his ex and her wannabe exes there are no 'he leaves' 'she leaves' scenarios. 
 There's little to no tension or angst to speak of aside from the theft of some expensive auto parts, some inappropriate racey e-mails and a few anonymous flower deliveries which seem to take on a more backseat impact - and then WHAM !!! - talk about a sucker punch of a reveal that I did NOT see coming. 
 A well-written, character-driven story [and great ones in Piper and Jake as well as the supporting cast] with plenty of humorous banter exchanges, a ton of even more steamy encounters [HOT!] but also a sweet romance. Especially loved the badass romantic that was Jake, OTT gone over Piper: "Thirty-four years of color-blind, lookin' at a lifetime of bright" "I'm gonna spend the rest of my life givin' you the moon"
