Blue Collar Alphas #2

Under Her Hood

Rate this book
Sadie McGuire took the mechanic job at Fox Motors because there were no other options available, and working on cars is the only thing she knows how to do. But a bossy, growly, alpha-asshole of a boss isn't something she bargained for. Neither is the way he makes her panties damp with one stolen glance. Now it's just a matter of getting through the days without spontaneously combusting under his hard gaze.

Jackson Fox hired sweet little Sadie for one reason: she was sexier than hell when she begged him for the job in those skin-tight blue jeans. The fact that she's talented under the hood of a car is just icing on the cake. But now he can't get the sexy, smart-ass blonde out of his head. Or his garage. There's only one option left—to scratch the sexy little itch that's been plaguing his fantasies, or risk losing his head--and his business.

Warning: Under her Hood is a forbidden romp in the backseat of a classic muscle car—sensual curves, hard edges, and steamed up windows! When Jackson and Sadie come together sparks fly--rev up the engine because this is one wild ride with a sexy mechanic you won't forget!

If you're looking for something short, hot and insta-love, Under Her Hood is the book for you!

Sadie works in an auto shop. It's not a common job for a female, but growing up working with her dad in his garage, she knows what she's doing. Her boss, Jackson, is kind of an ass. But a good looking ass. One day, Sadie comes to work and Jackson asks her to work with him that day. From there, we see that Jackson has it bad for Sadie.... lots of steamy scenes ahead!

This one only took me about 30 minutes to read. If you're looking for a quick and steamy one, I'd pick it up!

4 BLUE DEVIL STARS

“I’m bringing you home with me tonight and every night after."


So this book was well short but it was HOT AS F*CK!
Please excuse the bad language in my review but Aria Cole has successfully channeled my inner badass! (I didn't even know she was there!)

description

Sadie is one f*ckingly awesome badass chick and she is not afraid to own it! She may start off being a little hesitant, due to her inexperiences, but she catches up fairly fast.
She is the only woman mechanic in an all-male garage. A garage owned by the hero Jackson Fox.

Just by this fact alone, you will either hate her or love her! What I mean to say is some may think this makes her less feminine and therefore find it hard to relate to her.
For me this wasn't the case!
Personally, I FREAKING LOVED HER!

description

She was doing what she loved and made no excuses for herself. She had short hair, (which I don't like on me personally as I have a long neck and it makes me look like a giraffe), but it suited her sassy personality.
Everything about her, I found endearing.
I honestly ADORED EVERYTHING ABOUT HER!

description

The hero, Jackson was pretty amazing too. He was so passionate in his responses to her and everything he did was visceral and intense. For example:

“Watching you bent over a car every day for the last six weeks has been f*cking hell,”

"That wasn’t a dirty look, baby. That was pain. You make my c*ck so f*cking hard I could pound nails.”

“I’ve been dreaming of this pretty p*ssy since the second you walked into my garage.”

description

“Jesus, you f*cking wreck me.”
"You f*cking wreck me a little more every day.”


Now do you see what I mean!?
There was nothing TAME ABOUT THIS ALPHA!
He was all man and he was completely consumed with lust-love for his naughty Sadie!

description

If you want to know how it all plays out, you'll have to read this book and get aroused for yourself...I mean discover its pleasure...I mean....AH HELL! I mean get f*cking turned on!

description

For me it's worth a read and a reread. So I will keep this one as well. Honestly, I don't know why I even bother to use KU. I should just one click it and forget it.


Btw, the reason why I didn't give it 5 full stars was because I had a hard time believing a strong sassy woman was a complete virgin.
Sorry!
Don't get me wrong, I loved the fact that she was one but I just found it a little odd given her assertive nature.
Also, I would have liked a little bit more of them together and more about the cars.

I saw some good reviews for this one so I decided to give it a try, but sadly it just didn't work for me. The story started off really abruptly and it almost felt like we were dropped right in the middle of it without any beginning. The heroine apparently works for the hero and thinks he's an ass, but by the end of the first Chapter they were sexing it up in the back of his mechanic shop??? I really just didn't understand the start to this and it ruined the whole book for me. We never got anything more than sex between the characters, there was no development to speak of and honestly I don't even think there was a description more than the Hero was "fuck-hot" and the heroine wasn't a girly-girl (I began to heavily skim so I could be wrong about this part)

Either way, this just wasn't my type of story but if you're looking for a pure-smut kind of story than this may be the one for you.

Why do I keep reading this author??

This one wasn't very good. Seriously, the heroine's friend drops her off at work and mentions that her boss is HOT. To which the heroine replies "Ya, but he is an asshole" Literally 5 minutes later her boss is saying "you are working privately with me today" they go off to work and within minutes are GETTING IT ON.

Honestly, I thought I was missing a few chapters the escalation in the relationship gave me whiplash. *lol*

This one was a fun, sweet read super short also.. i do wish these were atad longer.. but its good.

Sadie is the first female to work in Jackson garage she's a tomboy and loves the feel of a motor and grease. And thinks her boss is a jackass since he is kinda pushy and stand offish, little does she know Jackson wants her he loves that this chick knows her cars, isn't to girly and can get his motor running. He finally gives in and boy they make car sex look good 🤣🤣🤣

Only one tiny drama part.. which has a worker saying Sadie was screwing the boss.. but Jackson took care of that problem asap no one disrespects his girl in his garage.. I liked jackson he was a good boyfriend and alpha male ;)

No ow/om drama, no cheating, sexy times, Not a manwhore guy & virgin gal

Recommend- yes

Jackson and Sadie. It's very short and very boring. I skimmed the last 1/3 and it is only 60 pages. The first page was promising but then it was just sex, sex, more sex, sex again. It wasn't especially hot sex either. I often got lost as to how they got from one position to another in their gymnastics. I've read porn with more story and emotion (and hotter sex). Basically, she works at his garage, they leave the room and have sex, etc, hea.

Sadie and Jacksons grease- filled love story was cute.
Let me say I LOVE the cover- and I adore when authors match them to characters they write.
That being said, this was an overall sweet story. Short, insta lust, breeding, HEA, wonderful epilogue.
Extra half star for the ending and front page
Safe read
3.5/5

5 Stars!

Aria Cole never disappoints with her stories. Her words make me smile and her journeys make me fall in love. When I pick up one of her books, I am guaranteed a quick and dirty read with a ton of steam and a whole lot of instant everything. She always has a happy ending... promising wayyyy more than one ;)

Ready to get your motor running?

Under Her Hood was a fast read that packed a serious punch with one alpha male that will make you swoon, hard. I finished this book in about an hour and it was the perfect way to get my blood boiling and my heart racing. Sadie and Jackson made me fall hard and fast, begging for just a touch more.

If you like a safe and dirty quickie then pick up this hot little number.

I highly recommend this book.

The writing style is a bit abrupt and it was hard to really get lost in with all the past and present tense mixed in but the story was sweet and hot! Like seriously smutty erotica.

For the most part I liked Sadie and Jackson, they were smokin hot together and Jackson said the dirtiest things with that mouth of his! Yikes *fans self* But he was also so flippin sweet, he was a sweet talker when it came to his woman.

Sadie, idk how I feel about Sadie, on one side I like her determined attitude and her need to prove her worth in her chosen career but on the other side, I felt she was a little too easy when it came to giving in to Jackson. One minute she strongly dislikes him but he breathes on her and she's stripping down to her birthday suit? I think it would have flowed better if there was a more gradual transition from their work relationship to going at it like horny rabbits.

The story line also felt really choppy, there were time jumps of days, weeks, and hours that meshed together and left me confused a few times. The cute double epilogue (with babies!) was nice and I did enjoy this read, just not enough for a re-read.

Under Her Hood is short and sassy where the heroine holds fast to her individualtiy even if it sets her apart from her peers.

Sadie has always been a tomboy, happiest when under the hood of a car and covered in oil. Her short hair and casual appearance go against the trend and while Sadie is happy with her style, she does feel a little unattractive in comparison. Her attraction to her new boss frightens her, although she is convinced it is purely one sided.

Jackson has never experienced such all consuming devoiton to another person. Determined to make her his forever, he is surprised to find they are compatible on so many more levels than he could have imagined.

Jackson makes Sadie realise just how beautiful and desirable she really is while providing her with the comfort and security she has previously lacked.

While there is a little backstory to the characters I did feel as if the story would have benefitted from a little more depth in the character development. This is purely a personal point as I love getting into the minds of hte characters I read about :D

I really liked the premise of this one, with the female mechanic, but unfortunately we didn't get to see too much of her in action. Well, at least that kind of action anyway! Pretty standard Aria Cole fare, good for an escape for an hour or so.

This is the second book in the Blue Collar Alphas series by Aria Cole. Sadie is 24 years old, a total tomboy who loves getting her hands dirty fixing cars. Her beloved Father taught her everything he knew and she spent most of her free time by his side helping him, much to her Mother's dismay. She gets a job as a mechanic at Fox Motors which is owned by the very sexy Jackson Fox. Sadie works extra hard to prove herself to the men she works with determined for them to take her seriously. Jackson thinks Sadie is the sexiest woman he's ever seen and a damn good mechanic. He realizes he can't keep his hands or his feelings to himself anymore and he makes a move to claim Sadie for himself.

Fast and blazing hot!

This novella is good entertainment. I like the setting. Both characters work at a garage and she is a bit of a tomboy. On the other hand, they jump each other's bones right away which felt a little rushed to me. I prefer to know the male character before he takes the heroine ;-)

However, their passion is hot and well described in the middle of tools, cars and oil. Dirty. Lots of sweet, too. The last chapters are filled with lust, love and family so that the reader ends up with a sense of sated completion.

If you like sassy punishment, possessive garage owners and puppies, you'll enjoy this little story.

Aria Cole

* I received an arc for an honest review *

This is a short novella, but that doesn't take away that it was hot as hell. I had to fan myself while reading the sexy scenes because the chemistry between Sadie and Jackson was scorching hot :)

Sadie is a 24 year old who has always been a tomboy, more interesting in cars that wearing pretty dresses (like her mom wanted her too) She has always loved fixing cars and shared that passion with her dad, who died of a massive heart attack. She starts working in Jackson's local garage shop, set on proving that even though she's a girl, she can be as good or even better than the guys there, making her unaware of Jackson's intense attention towards her, on the contrary, she thinks he doesn't like her, which Jackson proves how wrong that is ;)

Jackson knew from the moment that Sadie entered his garage, that she was meant to be his. He knew she had talent, despite being a girl. Every day, that she went to work, he was tortured, watching her work was constantly painful because he wanted her so badly; until he can;t take it anymore, and finally one day, take matters into his own hands, letting Sadie know what he wants from her and what she makes him feel. Let's just say that when they finally get together for the passionate hot scenes, the chemistry between them both was so intense, I thought my kindle would explode ;)

Aria Cole has proven that she knows how to write stories even when they're short, to show the connection and chemistry between the main characters. That's what good authors know how to do and she definitely has done it with all the books she has written <3

This novella is a safe read, a hot read and I completely loved the epilogue; showing them with their own family and their love more stronger and intense than ever :) <3

She’s at it again-Aria Cole knocked it out of the park with her latest “Under Her Hood”. This is a short novella but packed full in the story department.
Sadie is 24 yrs old , a bit of a tomboy who fixes cars and into what makes them tick than dressing up and looking like a lady much to her mother’s dismay. She shared her love of cars with her father who sadly has passed of a heart attack. She starts working in Jackson's local garage shop, intent on proving that a woman like herself can be just as good as a man in the type of job she has. What she doesn’t know is that her boss, Jackson, is very much attracted to her but she mistakes that for dislike. I enjoyed watching Jackson prove to Sadie how wrong she was, how she was his. Jackson knew she was his from the moment she came into his life. He just had to figure out how to prove it to her and when he did, he decided it was finally time to prove it to her and everyone where this girl stood with him –and how he did just made this the perfect book!
Aria Cole just writes some of the best stories that stop me and wont let me go until I finish the story no matter where I am- the DR office, grocery store parking lot, 10 pm at night while in bed, at work on break ( I go over on my break to finish the story)—just know the stories are worth it. She captures you with the words, with her characters on the page and you wont be going anywhere until the story has ended and what a ride it was. Fantastic!

My Rating: 4.7 stars *****

**** 4 ‘S³ - Short, Sweet & Smutty’ STARS****

I’ve professed my love of all things Aria Cole and it’s time to do so again.  Under Her Hood is another short, sweet, smutty ride into insta-lovelandia with a road trip to fantasy island…See: ladyporn.

“You ready to get dirty?”

JACKSON FOX:  Alpha. Over-the-Top. Protective. Grumpy. Stubborn. Loyal. HAWT.  The owner of Fox Motors has been a goner for Sadie from the moment he hired her.

“She was so [fracking] sweet it made my chest ache with wanting all the things I never thought I wanted.”

SADIE MCGUIRE: Sweet. Innocent.  Sassy. Tomboy. VIRGIN.  Sadie’s on her own after her dad died and she doesn’t have many options – but she loves working on cars – working at Fox Motors is great, if only her boss wasn’t such a jerk.

“You’re gonna get way more than just my kisses every morning.”

Jackson and Sadie burn up the pages with their chemistry.  Aria writes alpha perfectly.  Throw in sweet Sadie who’s overwhelmed by Jackson but intrigued enough to dive into a romantic relationship quickly and you have a great way to pass a couple hours.  If you’re in the mood for a smoking hawt, quick read that will leave you smiling and tingling this is the book… I’m now waiting for Ms. Cole’s next blue collar hunk to come take me away…

“Jackson Fox owned me.”
