Elisse has always wanted to run her family’s auto shop. She was a darn good mechanic if only her older brother, Morgan, understood it and her sister didn’t demand her time to run her event management business. 

Theo Foster may be ultra rich but his broken family made him escape reality by racing cars. As Morgan’s best friend, he has a stake in the auto business but suddenly he finds that working with the now-grownup Elisse is a lot more fun. 

The story comes in Elisse and Theo’s first-person POVs. 

I read the second book of the standalone series last year and thought to tackle the third one now (TBH, I had to read 3 books by the same author to clear a level on another bookish platform, so this seemed like the best choice). 

This is more of a novella that can be completed in a couple of hours at the most. The writing style is easy to read now that I’m familiar with it. 

There’s some nice banter, a bit of spice, and two people finally deciding to set boundaries and do what they want instead of catering to others. 

Family is all good but can be overbearing as well. I like the dynamics though. The storyline is not too deep but manages to highlight a few points. 

To summarize, Here With You is a nice and quick read if you want to pass the time when traveling or just lazing around.
