Roadside Service is a cute, but a short novel. I read the entire book in about an hour but found the story to be very interesting and the characters charming, especially Blake. :)Roadside Service is told in the point of view of Violet Weathers, a supermodel who has been around the world and finds herself in Nebraska for modeling work. While driving to Omaha Violet's car breaks down and she finds her knight in shining armor in Blake; a mechanic who does more than just tow her car to his shop. Blake has no idea Violet is THE supermodel and they end up spending the night together. The story has some steamy sex scenes, Blake is pretty sexy. They agree to see each other while Violet's in town for work and go their separate ways afterwards but soon Blake discovers who Violet really is and their "fun" relationship becomes much more.I liked the story, it was cute and sexy. This is the perfect kind of book to read when you do not have a lot of time and do not want to get too invested into a story or characters because it's simple. Having said that, I felt the story was just too short. I never was able to connect to the characters as much as I would have liked or their background stories, I would have loved to have gotten to know Blake's history a bit more and more about Violet's mother & "boy toy". The two weeks flew by and really there were only a handful of scenes in the book, so when the two fell in love I didn't really understand how... I would have liked more tender scenes like the one at the lake which was really sweet. Also the ending.... It was a great HEA but it seemed more like a HEA right now. I can see the two having a lot of problems and would be really interested in reading how their relationship plays out in the spotlight and Violet being a famous supermodel... (hint, hint)!B.L. Wilde is a great writer with a great idea. Like I said it is a great simple read if you need something easy. I hope to read more in the future about Violet and Blake.I give Roadside Service 3.5 stars.ARC provided by the author in return for an honest review.
