From the #1 New York Times Bestselling author of FULL PACKAGE and BIG ROCK, comes a hot & hilarious new standalone romantic comedy...
Let's be honest, ladies. A good man is a lot like the perfect car. You want a hot body, an engine that purrs, and superior performance under the hood...for the best joy ride of your life.
I'm at your service. Ready to go all night long.
But then a wildly sexy brunette appears in my life and throws a wrench in all my plans. She's fiery, she's talented, she's gorgeous, and I'd really like to know what makes her engine hum.
Henley also happens to be my biggest rival, and now we're forced to work together every day on the most important custom car build of my career. The trouble is I can't quite figure out if she wants to kick me in the lug nuts or beg me to give her a good, hard fuel injection. Until one night that question is answered on the hood of a sports car when she calls out my name three times. And we can't seem to put on the brakes.
If sleeping with the enemy is a bad idea, how much more dangerous would it be to fall in love with her?
You can find this sexy standalone romantic comedy available across all retailers now!

Excerpt:
Henley
Rose and a hot car go together like peaches and cream, like fine Scotch and a
long, dirty night. Which means working with her was like walking into the
Garden of Eden every single day. It was a test of willpower because the woman
could craft a car as if it were an erotic dance.
Not
a striptease.
Not
an in-your-face pelvis thrust.
But
a beautiful fucking ballet of a woman seducing machine. Those hands, the way
she wielded tools, the intensity in her focus—it was sensual, and it was
sinful, and it was this man’s fantasy made flesh.
Imagine
what it was like working with her for one, hard-on year.
I
mean, hard year.
I
survived the challenge because she had talent to spare. And I never treated her
differently because she was a woman, or because I thought about her naked an
obscene amount of the time. I treated her like anyone else—specifically, all the
people I work with who I never ever imagine in anything less than full-on
Siberian winter garb, complete with the thermals and Michelin Man coat.
“Black
heart still intact.” I tap my sternum. “Same model as before.”
“I’d
have thought you’d get an upgrade by now. Faulty parts and all.”
“No
recall needed on the ticker. It works just fine in this cruel bastard.” I say, reminding her of the words she’d uttered the
day she stormed out.
She
arches a brow. “Shame. You should have let me replace it. I’m good at making
all sorts of clunkers run better.”
Jesus
Christ. She still takes no prisoners. “I’ve no doubt you have all the tools to
fix anything, and if you couldn’t find the right one, you’d use a blowtorch.”
She
adopts an expression of indignation. “There’s nothing wrong with using a blowtorch,” she says, taking extra time
on the first syllable.
How
the hell did I ever last with this woman? Before I can even fashion a comeback,
she taps her toe against the tire on Wagner’s car. “I see you still like to
make your cars with big, manly
wheels.”
I
roll my eyes then make a give it to me
now motion with my hands. “All right, Henley. Deliver the punchline.”
She
bats her lashes. “What punchline?”
“Big? Manly? You’re going to say it’s
some sort of compensation thing going on. That’s what you always said about the
guys who wanted the biggest cars with the biggest wheels.”
She
smirks. “Was I wrong in my assessment?”
I
laugh. “I don’t know. I didn’t check to see how that added up for them.”
“Nor
did I. My focus was always on the
work.”
“As
well it should have been.”
“That’s
what you taught me.”
“I’m
glad you learned that lesson.”
“I
learned so many lessons from you.”
✦The audiobook will be narrated by Sebastian York! Link coming soon!✦

“If I was going to place a bet on an author to consistently deliver a FANTASTIC romance time and time again, I would put all my money on Lauren Blakely. She always writes amazing comedic romances—they are sexy, entertaining and always original. Consider me a fangirl.”
~Mary, Harlequin Junkie
"At some points during my read, I would have to remind myself to breathe. I was so utterly consumed with what I was reading, with the compelling chemistry between Henley and Max . . . The S. E. X. Was. Soooooo HOTT. I'd argue it was Blakely's best writing by far."
~Jess at joandisalovebooks

"The dynamic between Max and Henley is addictive, and the story line in Joy Ride was down right juicy! I can't wait for you to read it."
