review 1: I really enjoyed this story and the characters. Henry is a robotics scientist and Nick is a mechanic who specializes in vintage vehicles. There are sparks from the beginning with these two and Nick's inner monologue can be quite cute. Besides running his shop, Nick is dealing with his teenage nephew who has been deserted by this mother and a father who is aging and having some health issue. The biggest issue Nick is having is his inability to read the emotions of other (for parts of the story he reminded me of my son who has Aspergers - completely oblivious to what those around him are feeling and not understanding why they are upset with him). He also has a tendency to blurt out whatever crosses his mind without thinking how these statements will land. Nick w... moreants to do what is best for his family and for Henry, but it takes him a while to understand how to get there. Henry just gets prickly and gets his feelings hurt. It had a lovely HEA; it went a little strange in the last chapter with a side road into some domestic violence with some secondary characters that seemed out of place for the story, but it was a good read.
review 2: So can I say that I honestly did not understand this book at all. Why were they even together? How were they compatible, besides sex? I HATED how Nick just talked about how smart Henry was. Yes, I get it. He's smart. Big whoop. NEXT! But, really, what did they talk about? Seems like they spent most of their time fighting over something stupid. Oh and what was up with Nick always being so tongue tied. Could he really not speak. Was he really a hormonal 16 year old trapped in a 36 year old body? Grant, well, at first I thought he was an immature brat. Then, once the big fight at Jewel happened I finally got it. He was acting up for attention. He just wanted Uncle Nick to spend time with him. To notice him. Then, he actually became the 14 year old kid, in my eyes.So, what happened with Shawn and her mom??? How can you leave it like that? That and the Hastings family were the best part about this book and the author left it open. Is Henry living with them now? What about his fancy kitchen counter tops that he just HAD to have? UGH! Overall, I was not impressed. Oh and having sex in the kitchen with Shawn in the living room, Grant upstairs in his room and his dad sleeping. REALLY?! Show some respect. Move it to your bedroom. less
