Too too much was going on. AND YET for so much to be going on nothing was happening!!! Why is the book dragging in the middle?! I understand everyone was in their individual turmoil but there was no movement of the plot forward. Everyone was waiting for someone else to do something in their lives. I did not like the ending; I'm an enjoyer of open endings but this one just made me mad. I appreciate the premise of this book but the tension and problems of each of the characters became benign very quickly. I feel like nothing that I actually cared about from the plot was answered by the end of the book. I wanted Helen to be able to go into the garage and be a part of the business, yet somehow a MAN was what she needed. Honestly, I LOVE romance but not all the MCs needed romantic partners. I could go on but this sums up the majority of my thoughts.
