About DIRTY DEEDS
Alex Dawn is saying no to men.
No to bad relationships, disappointments, and smooth-talkers. Focusing on her
family and her job at Payton and Sons Automotive keeps her mind occupied and
her heart content. She doesn’t really miss a man’s touch, until one night, one
shows up with the body of a god and a voice from her dirtiest dreams.
L.M. Spencer is only in Tory,
Maryland, to scope out the town as a possible site for one of his company's
hotels. The British businessman didn’t expect his car to break down or to find
the hottest little American he’s ever seen holding a tire iron, piercing him
with bright blue eyes.
They agree to one hot night,
one dirty deed to burn out the chemistry between them. But from their first
kiss, Alex can’t stop saying yes to this man. And when Spencer’s company
threatens everything she cares about, they must make the choice to stand
together or apart.

Brooke's Review:
I want to thank Avon Impulse for providing me with a copy of this book to read and give an honest review. Receiving this book for free has in no way altered my opinion or review.
I am a huge fan of Megan Erickson. I will read anything she writes. I've enjoyed each and every book she's put out so far. I especially have been in love with this particular series. There's just something so raw and intense about it that draws me right in. So given the chance to read this book for a blog tour, I jumped at it. And I was in now way disappointed. As a matter of fact, this turned out to be my favorite in the series so far.
We met Alex in the second book of the Mechanics of Love series. She was introduced as a tough as nails mechanic who would go to any length to protect herself and her family. So it's no shocker that she continues to be that same sassy, no bones girl we met in Dirty Thoughts. Of course Alex has her past that haunts her. A past that causes her to be a bit distrusting of people, especially men. She lets very few people get close to her.
Enter Spencer. He's an English business man who happens to need a mechanic while traveling for his job. What he doesn't expect when walking into Payton and Sons is to find a woman who knows just how to handle a car, and herself He's instantly drawn to her. But Spencer has a past he hies as much as Alex. One where he was a different person. One he's been trying to make sure stays buried as he pushes his way up the corporate ladder. And, like Alex, Spencer isn't looking for anything complicated, so given the chance to be casual with Alex, he takes it.
The two share one hot night together, agreeing to be done with just that. But neither can seem to get the other off their mind. Alex has quit men and doesn't want the feelings attached to what they can bring out in her, but she can't seem to shake Spencer from her blood. And Spencer wants his job, but Alex has gotten under his skin. There's no denying the chemistry between these two. And while I'm not usually a fan of instal-love, that's not really what you get here. You get a slow burn on the feelings end, but a hot run on attraction side!
Of course there's some stuff that might just tear them apart. Spencer hasn't been totally honest with Alex about what his company intends to do in Tory, MD. He lets his job blind him to the fact that Alex is just what he needs.
I love the cast of supporting characters in these books. They form an incredible family who support each other and watch out for each other.
The best part of watching this cast of characters and their stories lines is seeing how much Erickson has grown as a writer. I really enjoyed her Bowler series, so when she said spin-off I said YES! And with each book she wrote, her story telling grew stronger and stronger. There is no doubt I will keep coming back to Megan's stories in the future.
This book is definitely my favorite of this series. If you're a fan of contemporary romance with a bit of angst topped off with a sexy female mechanics and a swoon worthy Brit, you'll not be disappointed in this book. It can certainly be read as a stand alone, since the cast of characters is explained well enough. But that shouldn't stop you from wanting to go and see what the other couples have to offer!
About MEGAN ERICKSON
Megan Erickson grew up in a family that averages 5’5” on a good day and
started writing to create characters who could reach the top kitchen shelf.
She’s got a couple of tattoos, has a thing for gladiators and has been called a crazy cat lady. After working as a journalist for years, she decided she liked creating her own endings better and switched back to fiction.
She lives in Pennsylvania with her husband, two kids and two cats. And no, she still can’t reach the stupid top shelf.
I have seen nothing but good reviews for this one. I have not yet read this author, but it sounds like I need to. I like that it has a strong support cast.
