First Impressions...I haven't read this author before but I liked the idea of a feisty girl taking her revenge on her cheating boyfriends car only to find out she'd hit the wrong one.  In my mind, I pictured him finding her beating his car to bits.  That's not what happened.The Characters...I'm a very character driven reader.  I need to like, feel connected to, or at least understand the characters.  I felt that with Jordan.  He's the youngest and trying to prove to his family that he's not a mess up.  He comes to town to figure out what makes Hogan auto body shop so special, being a little secretive about who he really is.  But he's a lot of things that I liked.  He's an artist.  He's a boxer.  He shows restraint.  He's sexy.  He's an incredible lover.  I really liked him.Sass, not so much.  She's had some cheating boyfriends and has some serious issues because of it.  For one, she took a tire iron to a guys car.  But the truth is that I didn't like her.  I found her snotty, moody and difficult.  I got that she had some bad things happen in her past with her mom and boyfriends.  But she's just too hostile and harsh for me.  And considering she doesn't like lying, she's doing more than anyone.The Story...The story is a tangle of lies.  I'm not big on lying plots.  You know it's going to all come out in the end and it's only a matter of time before people find out the truth.  Both of them were hiding things.  Some worse than others.  In the mean time, they fell for each other.  Jordan was willing to admit that sooner that Sass but he brought her along kicking and screaming.What didn't work for me...Sass, the amount of lying and the sex toys that Libby sells.In The End...It took me a long time to finish this one.  I kept putting it down.  I think readers who really like the angry, strong female characters will like this one.  The heat is high and the guy is yummy, so anyone who likes that will probably enjoy it too.
