Crankshaft by K.M. Neuhold
5.0
This is the first of a new series, it's a spin off from the Four Bears series which I loved, but you don't have to read that first to enjoy this. It is set in the same world as that series and contains some wonderful cameos from the Bears but this is almost totally new.
I say almost, because this is Porter's story. We first meet Porter in the Four Bears series where he (hilariously) failed to snare more than one of the bears. On the face of it, Porter is a mild mannered veterinarian who just wants to find his Happy Ever After. Steele, the owner of Big Bull Mechanics is also introduced briefly but we get to know him so much better here, and I loved it.
I loved this book. On the face of it, we have the little nerdy veterinarian and the big burly mechanic so you know how this goes, right? Uh, nope. This is not that story, this is totally turned on its' head and I am here for it. I love when tropes get turned around this is done wonderfully. First of all, Porter is not some shrinking violet, he knows what he wants and is incredibly determined in how he's going to get it. He's toppy, dominant and has THE most utterly filthy mouth, and I adored it. Steele is the big cuddly softie who needs all the reassurance and I adored their interactions.
It's hilarious, sweet, utterly filthy, full of heat yet at the same utterly sweet and you'll just be with these guys all the way. I was, and now I can't wait for more.
This is all the tropes you've ever thought of all turned on their head and it's just brilliant. I can't recommend this more.
I received an ARC and this is my honest review.
