Mastered by the Mechanic

Rate this book
He packs more meat than a butcher For one year I’ve lusted myself breathless for Flint. Hard muscle, tattoos, a beard for my pleasure, he’s everything my parents want me to stay right away from.
There’s this fullness in his jeans that attracts your eye, as if the denim can barely contain him. And believe me, there’s nothing junkie about his package. One look and you know what’s going to happen if that thing breaks free—babies all over town with jet black hair and wild gray eyes.
Until yesterday, he was out of my reach.
Today I have a plan. My parents are out of town, my new car’s about to break down, and Flint’s the only mechanic I'm going to call.
I’ve got a special gift for Flint and I don’t intend to return home with it unopened.
Know what I mean?
It's my first time. Wish me luck.

She’s driving this mechanic crazy From the day I met Tiffany she's driven me out of my mind, but she's too pure and innocent for someone like me. Blue collar, ten years older, I'm hardly boyfriend material. So I do my best to avoid her, which is damn near impossible in a small town.
Then she engineers a meeting. Her car's broken down on a back road and I'm the only mechanic she calls.
I've got this.
Tow her car, send the account to her father, and send Tiffany on her way.
But Tiffany offers her own tempting form of payment and if I accept it, I risk losing my business, my home, everything I've worked for.
Even worse, if I turn her down I risk losing Tiffany.

Mastered by the Mechanic is a complete standalone novella filled with instalove, a dirty talking virgin and the blue collar worker who intends to teach her a lesson. Contains filthy language and a high ratio of sexy loving, with an HEA, no cheating, and no other woman drama.

SECOND TRIED AND FAILED TODAY

I'm not having any luck today but I just can't stand the heroine in this book.


Here are her thoughts or a moment in this heroine's head,
"They stare.
They get hard.
They want to fuck me.
The power is heady.
I know what they’re thinking. Is that pussy virgin? Does she shave, or wax? What about that pretty little rosebud of an asshole, has anyone touched her there?
They want to be first.
All of them.
It’s in the wolfish looks they give me.
Some of them smile, and say sweet things hoping that might be the way into my pants.
Others look angry, because they know they’ll never have the opportunity to have a go at something as pure and unfucked as me."


Yeah, I understand she is only 19 but seriously?
EVERYONE WANTS TO F*CK HER!?
Really?
Are you for real!?

SERIOUSLY, you need to...

This was a fast, sexy read.

Flint is one HOT mechanic. Pretty much oozes sex and cocky attitude. He has almost all the women in town hoping for something to "break" on their car just so they can watch him work. But he really only has eyes for Tiffany - Lust at first sight.

Tiffany sees Flint and no one else will do. It takes her a year to figure out how to make it happen. Once, she decides on her plan nothing will deter her until she has him right where she wants him.

I have to say, while Flint really worked for me and definitely heated up my e-reader. Tiffany, on the other hand, did not work for me. She came across as an overprivileged teenager and a bit manipulative. Sorry, she just put me off this whole story.

I voluntarily and honestly reviewed this Advance Reader Copy.

This book is very hard for me to rate. I think this author is super talented but in this case I HATED Tiffany's character and because of that I didn't enjoy the first half of the book. Tiff was 19 going on 16, and not a mature 16 year old. But a childish, desperate for attention any way she can get it, 16 yr old. I had a hard time reconciling her behavior, plans and even the way she spoke, with a girl that was already making income building apps.

Tiffany: "He's so virile his sperm could swim for an Olympic medal... Multiple attacks to my eggs from all sides. Not just one valiant swimmer making it to the finish, but a mega-school of them. I'll probably have triplets, to be honest. Well, I think that's how it works. "

Thankfully Tiffany seemed to grow up a bit once Flint entered her life. I still didn't love her but she became bearable. But Flint... oh I really liked Flint, enough that it covered up my dislike for Tiff. She needed a mature influence and Flint provided that. It was sweet the way he wanted to watch after her and take care of her.

It came down to this- the first half was a little under 3 stars for me and the second half was a 4. So I went with a 3. From a smut standpoint, I'd give it a 5. It's also clever and funny. I love this author's quick wit.

If you want a quick smutty, sexy escape, and a little immature behavior from the heroine won't bother you, I think you'll really enjoy this.

Tiffany is kinda young but she knows what she wants and she wants Flint with every fiber of her heart. Tiffany's family is the richest in the Town so she is used to getting what she wants but a Mechanic is going to be harder to achieve especially when it comes to her parents. Flint dates to keep his friends of his back but since he moved into town there was only one girl he has had his eyes on and he thinks she deserves better and that a woman like her would never go for someone like him when she is used to living life in luxury.

What I enjoyed most about Mastered by the Mechanic is watching both Tiffany and Flint realize there feelings for each other, and not caring about everything else that has always mattered most to them but trying to make it work and be together. Watching Flint going from his business being always front and center to having Tiffany be front and center, seeing Tiffany going from loving shopping etc to finding true love and what matters most in life.

This book was great, I loved it.. This book has Tiffany a 19 year old who has had her sights on a certain Mechanic since the first day she seen him and even taking it as far as stalking him, Flint a Mechanic who was in this new town to start over but since the first time he seen Tiffany something inside him changed, lots of sneaking around is had in this story with plenty of intimate moments, with some upset parents and major decisions to be made on the future, a Love story. If you like stories like this, then Mastered by the Mechanic is a must!

Cute story, fun read. Tiffany has been lusting after Flint, the mechanic with bulges in all the right places, and decides that on her nineteenth birthday she was going to claim him or rather allow him to claim her v-card. Flint has been very careful keeping his lustful thoughts a secret especially since her daddy owns the deed to his business in his hands and Flint has had experience with sleeping with the wrong girl before. But when Tiffany calls for help wearing barely there clothes and posing to give him plenty of eye catching views Flint is pushed to his limits. I felt that this was a fun light read but I found the description of Tiffany's horniness was a little too TMI for my taste I didn't need it to be so detailed. I also felt the "from the wrong side of town"/ Juliette and Romeo situation with her parents scorn was too predictable.

I like this cute short story. The two main characters has been eager for each for a year and now Tiffany is 19 years old and she wants her mechanic.
Flint is 29 years old a has been in town for one year. He had wanted to get Tiffany for that year and now she gives herself to him. But will they last?
I love the chemistry between the pair. They really now that they want each other but the question is if they dare to take that step. Tiffanys father is a bit shot in the town and he owns the building and ground where Flints garage is. Can he make such a big damage that Flint has to move?
A very well written and could be real life story.
Worth reading!

I could not seem to like Tiffany, i found her frustrating, for a 19 year old she seemed a lot younger. The way she thought watching certain movies taught her all she needs to know, and other things without going into too much detail. I did like Flint though. If you like quick, sexy, virgin reads, then this is for you.

Tiffany Cardew has lived her life as a good girl, never making trouble. She's obedient, works hard and achieved excellent grades in her first year at college, but now she's ready to cash in her v-card! Her target is Flint Armstrong, the mechanic and the hottest thing in town. She's an admitted virgin-ho. She’s demeaning herself, trying to make him crazy with lust by showing off bits of her body whenever she's about town. She wants Flint and won't stop til she gets him. All she can think about is Flint’s piece, so much so, she already feels as though it’s hers! So she stages her new car to break down so Flint can come 'rescue' her.

It was that sexy innocent looks that Tiffany gives Flint every time she sees him that does him in. .She’s a big load of trouble all wound up in a sexy package. He hasn’t touched a woman since the first day Tiffany showed up at his business. She calls to a monster inside him that wants to be let out and own her! But messing around with the landlord’s daughter is the fastest way to get his ass kicked right into the next state. George Cardew, Tiffany’s father, could make life very difficult for him, so Flint held off making a move on Tiffany...for a very long and lonely year. But if he doesn't act now on her ploy of a breakdown, he knows she'll just come up with more even wilder attempts to get his attention. She needs to be taught a lesson; he's not going to harm Tiffany, but he does intend to give her a fright. When she can't come up with the payment for her car, he makes her a crude offer. ..get busy or her dad finds out about her little charade and stalking tendencies. He's not a jerk, he wants her. ..God does he want her..but having her could destroy everything he has built for himself.

Tiffany’s escapade has Flint thinking any man will do to scratch her itch. Flint’s lesson has Tiffany thinking he just wants her to work off her bill. Will these two get it together long enough to reveal their true feelings; to show the other that they want more than just a sexual release? She’s rocked his world and she wasn’t supposed to, but now what kind of wrench will Tiffany’s parents throw into their hopes for each other? All he wants is Tiffany, all she wants is Flint...will the chemistry between them ignite something more, something real? Or will he just be her first when all he wants is to be her last?

A very hot and sexy read that will make you melt! The descriptive scenes will have you hooked! This is one bad boy with a heart of gold...delicious!

I did not like Tiffany at all! Ok I will admit that near the end I started to like her. I didn’t like her neediness and her immaturity. Other then her ‘’hot body’’ I don’t know what Flint seen in her. I just wanted to shout at her and tell her to grow the f*ck up and stop acting like a twelve year old. I was shaking my head at my kindle when Tiffany was going on about how she could get pregnant with twins or triplets when she finally slept with him because he would have good sperm because of how handsome he was. I was a bit like ‘’seriously? No SERIOUSLY?’’. The thing that turned my opinion of Tiffany around was when she decided to create the bike app to help families that don’t earn a lot or have money. I liked Flint. I wanted more of him! I liked the ending and the epilogue. I am glad that Flint got his woman.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is a quick and easy dirty romance.

After nineteen years of being a good girl Tiffany is ready to lose her ‘’V Card’’. And she has the perfect candidate in mind – Flint Armstrong, the town mechanic! With her parents away for the night it’s the perfect time to put her plan into motion. She is going to get her man and make sure that he is so addicted to her body that he will never let her go. Flint is used to women using tricks to try and get him into bed. When he answers a break down callout from Tiffany Cardew decides he needs to teach her a lesson for playing games and being a tease. With Tiffany’s family being the only rich family in town and her father owning the land that his business is on, Flint has held back from going after the girl he wants. But after Tiffany’s latest stunt he is going after what he wants – her! But how will Tiffany’s parents react when they learn of her secret relationship? Will Tiffany get her man?

I enjoyed this book. The sexy virgin set her sights on one guy to get rid of her "v-card" and only he would do. She waited until her parents were out of town and then she took action.
I admit there was heat between the two, but at the same time it was very predictable, been there, done that a million times. Basically the only difference was that she waited until she was 19, instead of 18, and she had developed an app so had SOME money of her own coming in although she still lived with mom and dad.
Don't get me wrong, the heat may make up for the story line if all you want is quick easy read and don't want to strain you brain. In that case, this is perfect. If you want more substance, you're really not going to get it here. Sorry.

Hooked from the first line! I received this from a newsletter link and I was happily surprised that I LIKED this book. From the very beginning, it pulled me in and kept me reading until the very last. The description of earth, sadly is one that I wouldn't be surprised to see come true at some point. However, the story line was engaging the couples.... yes, more than one couple in this book, were not one dimensional and that made the book so much more enjoyable. I can't wait to read more from this author!!!!

This is a quick and steamy read. Tiffany is a sex crazed virgin and Flint, the mechanic, is the man she deems worthy of her first time. I loved Flint he was strong and a very naughty man, but Tiffany was somewhat annoying. It may be that Tiffany was very self absorbed and basically lived off her parents but wanted to be treated as an adult. She decides that college is not for her and her parents are going to have to get over it because she decided not to go back.

Possible Spoilers:

It was very hard to connect with Tiffany because she seemed like a spoiled airhead who was completely obsessed with sex. Can someone please tell why you would post a picture showing on hickey on your body on a public app? Or then being surprised when your secret is exposed because of the picture?

I almost can't put into words how much I enjoyed this book. Ash Harlow is an incredible writer. I loved the story, the characters, the sexiness and the tender moments. I was hooked from the first chapter.
Tiffany (19) has been lusting after Flint (29) ever since she first saw him a year before. She has fantasized about him taking her every way imaginable, over and over. Her parents are going away for a few days and she has decided it's time to put her seduction plan in action. She's not sure how Flint will react to her plan of seduction but she really hopes he goes for it. She knows her parents will blow a gasket if they find out but she's more than willing to take that risk.

Little Miss Tiffany has been plotting how to get the local hottie mechanic Flint to notice her. She's been practicing her moves, learning as much as she can about seduction, and being a general nuisance stalking him. Flint is fully aware of her little antics, and he's tired of watching her flaunt herself around town. The solution? Teach her a lesson she won't soon forget! I was laughing through the entire first part of the story when Tiffany was planning how to get Flint. So innocently naive, yet it was all about sex. But somewhere along the line they start to fall for each other, and we start to see their true feelings emerge. Funny, hot, and sweet read. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

Mastered by the Mechanic, written by Ash Harlow, is down & dirty story about a girl who has lusted after the hot mechanic that works at the local garage. She now hopes to change things and get a piece of what she has thought about for awhile now.

This was an okay read. I thought the story line was a bit quirky in that is sometimes felt rushed and not well laid out and plotted. The concept behind the story is solid and I think this story could absolutely be more, giving more depth to both characters.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. This book was good. I have to say I enjoyed Flint's character a bit more than Tiffany's. She came across as a little vain. Believing that ell the men wanted her. Even though she only had eyes for Flint. The both have been lusting for each other for over a year. Flint is older than Tiffany and doesn't want to risk his business or home. They live in a small town where everyone knows everyone's business. Tiffany finds a way to finally get her man and once that happens, watch out. The story was cute and i loved reading it.

Mastered by the Mechanic is a sexy and quick read. A nineteen-year-old virgin and a sexy mechanic that's ten years older. It’s full of dirty talk, sexy loving, and lots of laughs. Tiffany, our dirty talking virgin is ready to cash in her V-Card. The target of her choice is Flint, the town’s sexy mechanic. With her parents away, she’s going to give Flint an offer he can’t ignore. All they want is each other… Will true love win out in the end?

I have had my car worked on alot and I have yet to encounter a mechanic like this. Flint is HOT! Tiffany had the right idea. Who knew planning for seduction would work out just fine. I thought with allnofbher talknin thhe beginning that she was just some spoiled rich girl looking to get laid by the hot mechanic but it turned out to be so much more. Great story. Very steamy scenes.

I've never tried to get a man's attention by driving around until I ran out of gas, but that's exactly how Tiffany decides to get Flint's notice. The story was short, a bit predictable, but pretty steamy once they got together.

I enjoyed the story, once Tiffany stopped obsession about giving up her v-card to Flint.

This is a short and steamy read from Ash Harlow and although worth the read I struggled to like the immature Tiffany and felt some of the story could have been expanded slightly to make it a much more satisfying read. I liked Flint and felt he was a much more realistic character. One rich immature virgin, one hot mechanic and sparks soon fly! Not a bad read....lets hope Ash's next installment has a much more likable heroine!

Wow! This was a naughty little tale that turns into a sweet little love story. Tiffany and Flint have wanted each other for quite a while, but they are an odd pair so they didn't . A rich silver-spooned socialite and a mechanic, but Tiffany decided she was going to make her move...
This is a great love story, steamy and hot, but sweet as well. It was a great read.

An interestingly short and sexy book. I thought Flint was seriously sexy and foul mouthed lol. I love that Tiffany was more than she appears to be in the beginning. Not sure the parents would get over crap as fast in real life though lol. One problem I do have though is there is another book with this exact same title and description just a different author... It's a bit weird.

Tiffany fell for Flint the minute she saw him. She is the good girl with the rich family while Flint is the town mechanic. After a year of watching Flint around town she has decided it is time to give him her v-card. They begin a secret relationship but will it continue after her parents find out?
