This book, wow! If I had any thoughts of giving it anything lower than 5 stars, the fact that she wrote this incredible book in days would bump it up that last bit anyway!

Holy stars! This book was a perfect rom-com to a T, T for tires that is! It was a fun and flirty, fluffy yet dirty read. By fluffy, I kinda mean like one of those over-priced drinks at Starbucks, not the complimentary coffee at Tires, Tires, Tires the author was drinking while she wrote this. The kind of drink that is chock full of flavors... and sinful calories! When I found out it was going to be released earlier than planned, I figured I'd just have to wait until after it was published to read and review it, because my reviewing schedule for the week was already planned. But I couldn't help it. As soon as I opened my Kindle app to see if it had arrived, I couldn't help but to go ahead and download the book. And then of course, I couldn't help but read a little bit of it before I closed it to go back to the book I was supposed to be reading and reviewing, the one that I was over half-way through. However, I didn't put it down right away, and I got about 10 % of the way in when I found myself doubled up with laughter at this line about what type of music the character was listening to as she wrote, which better not get cut:

"Groovy synth beats that are good for anal scenes."

Okay, first off, I don't remember Amy Daws's books being quite that dirty! LOL! But honestly, when you find out where the main character Kate's idea for her book series came from, then you get it. Not to mention there are author friends of Amy Daws who do write those kind of scenes. And there were a few other lines I have to share as favorites, and hope that they don't get cut from the final version:

"Dicks can be such...dicks." Now this one comes from our hero/love interest Miles. Noticing how even though he doesn't want to get interested in Kim, or Mercedes - her pen name, which is how she introduced herself to him, one part of his body is definitely standing up in recognition of his attraction.

And towards the end, when Miles is on the phone with his sister who has just woken him up, she very rightly asks him if he is peeing while talking to her. He says, "It's the creek by my house. It runs really fast and hard in the morning!" I couldn't laugh out loud or roll on the floor at this like I wanted to, as I was actually sitting at work and finishing up the last 15% of the book at my desk.

This one wasn't as emotionally draining as the other books I've read by the author, but in no way did that make it any less of a perfect story. Both Amy Daws and her character Kate made me want to go find my own "Tire Depot" to get my inspiration for my own writing. Reading about a character writing made me pull out the short story I'm working on and finish updating/revising another chapter.

I really liked these characters also, and look forward to hopefully getting stories about the friends in the next two books. My guess is that her best friend, Lynsey, is going to be the next story we get. And then I wonder if we'll get their other friend Dean, or maybe it will be Miles's friend Eric? I don't know, don't care, just want to read more of this series, more of any writing by this author.
