Drive Me Wild is the first in a new series based in small town, Bellamy Creek. I simply adore small town romances and this book was the perfect introduction to the series of this gorgeously charming and enchanting small town. It was perfect blend of swoon, witty banter, romance, wonderful characters, heartfelt moments as well as off the charts sexiness. This story is unputdownable and it hooked me in from the very first page .
I adored Griffin and Blair’s love story. They complemented each other so perfectly. Their chemistry between was undeniable and scorching hot and I loved watching their romance unfold.
Not only were the main characters fantastic, but so were the side characters. They were wonderful additions to this beautiful, heartwarming and sizzling romance. This story did an awesome job at getting me excited for the upcoming books in this series. This story completely captured my heart from the very beginning. I'm completely obsessed with these endearing characters and I’m beyond excited for their stories. A perfect summer read with all the feels.

The characters had great chemistry and I really adore Blaire so much. The guy was kind of a douche and I wanted to shake him a lot. But he eventually got his shit together.
Also, poor Mack, he now has FIVE daughters plus Frannie. Bless him.

We’d brought something to life, and it had been easy. But keeping it alive would be impossible. Nothing lived forever.
I adored the first book in the Bellamy Creek series. Griff is the ultimate "grump" who meets his sunshine in the form of Blair - who is on a journey to find herself after being left at the altar. What ensues is a great "fish out of water" small town romance that I couldn't put down. Brilliant!

This was a cute fun little romance.
The setting was adorable and though the story didn't felt predictable and it wasn't instalove there was **something** in the plot that didn't let me love this.
The MCs were okay but I was more into Cole and Cheyenne's side story. I'm very excited about the next book because of that.
Anyway very good start of a series.

I've read a few romantic comedies, and they always hit the spot. What boggled my mind about this one was that Melanie Harlow combined hysterical moments with SUCH hot passion I was almost floored. Drive Me Wild was great from start to finish. Blair was a little nuts, and Griffin was kind of a jerk - but she wrote the characters so well I could picture them and felt I had gotten to know them. Reading the afterword, I'm not surprised this was inspired my Schitt's Creek - it had all of the feels of it. I spent the night laughing and then calming my pounding heart down, and it was perfect.

Small town romance, chance meeting, opposites attract, grumpy dude/ sunshine female, close proximity… sooo many good tropes with this one. I absolutely adored everything about it. Griffin is the grumpy mechanic who is closed off to love or any sort of attachment and he meets and ends up helping Blair, the sunshine chatty new girl in town who is just trying to start over. I loved everything about their story- and definitely want to try some of the recipes in the back of the book haha. I promise this book will be a favorite of yours!
On to #2!!!

I’m a little partial to baseball playing mechanics since I married one of my own - so I absolutely loved this book

This book had one huge problem and that was Griffin.
This was compared to [b:It Happened One Summer|55659629|It Happened One Summer (Bellinger Sisters, #1)|Tessa Bailey|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1604991895l/55659629._SY75_.jpg|86795919] and that is one my favs of last year so I had to check this book out. Except for the Schitt's Creek inspired story, there was nothing alike.
I love me some grumpy-sunshine romance so I am okay with the hero being closed off at first but this was not good.
First of all, I hated Griffin. He wasn't a grumpy hero. He was rude, mean and at times condescending. Not only to our heroine but literally everyone in this small town. He was mean to even his mother. On the other hand, Blair was the epitome of a sunshine character. I couldn't help but feel she was too good for him. He didn't even act like he cared for her. I have no idea why she fell for him in the first place. She found him honest, hard working and hot (this is literally what she says in the book) but does it really excuse him being mean and rude to everyone around him? Especially to people who loves him and wants the best for him? There are also a few scenes where he laughs at her. Excuse me, but what the hell?
And after everything he does to hurt her, he doesn't even grovel at the end. Even his sister asks Blair whether he groveled to get her back but Blair is like "ummm something like that". She is so hopelessly in love with this caveman. I just wanted another guy to come and be with her at the end.
To be honest, except for the romance this book was fine. I might pick up more from this author since none of the other characters were annoying and her writing wasn't bad.
