This was an ok read, I was surprised by how short it was and I think had it been longer I would have connected more with the hero and heroine. Arabella lived in the small town growing up but moved away, now she is back with her parents now gone and a brother in prison for swindling people out of their money including most of the town Arabella has learned to live with the hatred and the lack of money. So when her car costs more money than she has to fix it she asks Travis the mechanic for some time. But Travis isn't only the mechanic he is also the boy she had a hug crush on in school.Travis always wanted Arabella and even though most of the town can't stand her he doesn't blame her for what her brother did. When she needs help Travis agrees but also see's this as his chance to make a move on Arabella the girl he knew was out of his class, and if he can finally get her to agree to be with him that will be even better. But soon both Travis and Arabella find their feelings getting involved and they will have to decide if this will stay an arrangement or move to something more.I think this book had tons of potential but I just felt like it was missing something to make it great, and just ended up to be ok. I think Travis was a great hero but I would have liked more emotion from him and not just attraction especially since we had so little time to believe Travis and Arabella fall in love. Arabella was a likable heroine also and the story had the start of a great book but it was just missing a little too much,I do see great potential and will try more books by Lissa Mathews in the future.
