Let me start by saying that this is the first book that I have read by Ms. Casey and I was not in the least bit disappointed. Her writing style is one of my favorites. How a person can use humor, heartbreak and love so seamlessly is incredible.In this story we meet college senior Teagan, a no-nonsense down-to-earth rich girl, who is dreading going to her posh home for the summer. The day she is supposed to leave she learns some very tragic news that leaves her almost penniless and homeless in an instant. What I absolutely loved about Teagan was she was SO strong and took on her new chapter in life head on and without fear. She is one of the first heroines I've read that I didn't want to slap with the back of my hand. She picked herself up by her bootstraps and went out to find a job. With the help of her"ain't noboy got time for that" best friend Quinn and her frenemy Perry she snaps herself back into reality.She looks everywhere for a job with no luck. After every humorous job inquiry (the pawn shop by far the best one!), she finds herself driving around in `the beast' with no job in sight. Miraculously she stumbles upon `Rebel Wheels'. She convinces herself that she'll be able to convince the owner that she could do something so she wouldn't have to live in her car.While she is parked in her car she meets one of the mechanics, Mick, and he introduces her to the man of few words Rebel!! Holy HOTNESS!'Muscles? Yeah. Everywhere. Tattoos? Check.....Body Fat? None that I can see.'Rebel, a man with a heart of gold and a mouth filled with..well not big on small talk. I loved Rebel because he was strong, compassionate and dominant.  He took care of his brothers, Colin and Mick, and made sure that everyone he loves was taken care of.Rebel and Teagan begin a very uncomfortable and angsty friendship, while Rebel helps her get on feet (and keep crack heads out of her apartment). Their relationship develops and it becomes a sweet passionate and somewhat, reluctant romance. Leave it to Ms. Casey to know exactly where to insert some humor.'He stares down at me for a few seconds, and then runs his hands through his short hair and shifts his gaze to the ceiling. "Ahhh...shit," he finally says. I sit up, suddenly going cold. Nothing like an ahhh shit to douse the flames of desire.'Rebel is also filled with a little unsolved suspense that only begins in this book. This book does not end on a major cliffhanger, but there are some questions that will need to be answered in the other books. This book is one of the reasons I got back into reading. It is witty, funny and very well written. This is one of the best books of 2013 and a must read for anyone who loves a good book.  I thought no one could make me cheat on my all-time favorite book boyfriend (who shall remain nameless), but forget cheat, I have moved on and Rebel is my guy! Now if I could just find out where Rebel's Wheels is located??? Kudos Ms. Casey on a fantastic book! This book gets a certified Nerd Alert Book Love A+!
