Some things are sexier the second time around.
Cal Payton has gruff and grumbly down to an art…all the better for keeping people away. And it usually works. Until Jenna MacMillan-his biggest mistake—walks into Payton and Sons mechanic shop all grown up, looking like sunshine, and inspiring more than a few dirty thoughts.
Jenna was sure she was long over the boy she’d once loved with reckless abandon, but one look at the steel-eyed Cal Payton has her falling apart all over again. Ten years may have passed, but the pull is stronger than ever… and this Cal is all man.
Cal may have no intention of letting Jenna in, but she’s always been his light, and it’s getting harder to stay all alone in the dark. When a surprise from the past changes everything, Cal and Jenna must decide if their connection should be left alone or if it’s exactly what they need for the future of their dreams.
When the one you shouldn’t want is the one you can’t resist… 
Brent Payton works hard, plays hard, and has earned his ladies’ man reputation. But he’s more than just a good time, even though no one seems to see it. Until a gorgeous brunette with knockout curves and big, thoughtful eyes walks into his family’s garage and makes Brent want more.
Ivy Dawn and her sister are done with men, all of them. They’ve uprooted their lives too many times on account of the opposite sex, but that’s over now. The plan seems easy until a sexy, dirty-taking mechanic bursts in Ivy’s life and shakes everything up.
Brent can’t resist the one person who sees past his devil-may-care façade, and Ivy finds it harder and harder to deny how happy he makes her. But she has secrets of her own and when the truth comes out, she must decide if she’ll run again or if she’ll take a chance on forever.
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, a man 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.
Are you a fan of contemporary romance?  Is Megan Erickson on your radar?  She should be.  I’m finding that I’m become a bigger fan with each and every book that I read of hers.  This series revolves around a small town and a certain auto shop.  The shop is run by The Payton’s and let’s just say I wish these guys were the local mechanics in my neighborhood.
While I enjoyed all three of these stories, the final book, Dirty Deeds, has to be my favorite. Â Erickson’s story-telling and writing has only gotten better with each story and it really shows in book 3. Â Each book has a story that you’ll find yourself turning pages just to learn more
The stories here are a balance of serious issues with some fun, light characters who really jump off the page. Â While I love all the guys, Brent is probably my favorite because he’s the fun loving protective guy and I just loved his characters so much… that’s not to say I didn’t enjoy Cal or Spencer … I mean Spencer *sigh*. Â But Brent is the kind of guy that I love, the joker who no one takes seriously but they absolutely should.
Erickson’s ladies are just as captivating as the guys. Â They are strong and smart and ready to fight for the things they want… that said, I have to admit that I have mad love for Alex. I loved getting to know her in book 2 but she really shines in her story. Â I love her inner strength and the way she handles herself and ultimately her confidence in who she is and not apologizing for it.
If you’re looking for a sexy contemporary romance with stories that are both emotional yet fun and you’re going to want to put this series on your To Read list.
