Blurb:
Welcome to
Bad@ss Builds where the motorcycles are as sexy as the brothers building them.
Austin Burns:
I thought she
wasn’t real the first time I saw her. To be fair I was a hungover mess when I
woke up and looked into her gorgeous eyes. After getting the second worst news
of my life—that my father would be paroled soon—I’d escaped to my buddy’s posh
cabin near Lake Tahoe. Now the maid with the gorgeous eyes is snowed in with
me, and I wonder if she might be a better distraction than the mountain of
booze I’d planned on drinking. She’s curvy in all the right places, and the
snow is falling faster.
Rachel
Tannenbaum:
As a single mom, I
don’t have time for men, especially irresponsible tattooed bad boys like my ex.
But Austin is hot. And sexy. And stuck here in the cabin with me. I can’t say
no to a fling with this bad boy, especially since Austin is so gorgeous and
awkwardly sweet.
One night becomes
two, and I don’t know if I can risk my heart—and my little boy’s—if Austin
wants it to become more when we get through the snow and back to reality.

My Review:
❄❄❄❄❄
First I have to say that I LOVED TO HATE this book because Lord have mercy the characters had me on the edge of seat yelling and screaming at my kindle. So much so my daughter asked me if the book was good or bad and I laughed and told her both. I can't really explain it without spoiling it but I will say this that Austin could be the biggest ARSEHOLE and Rachel when she wanted to could be the biggest BIATCH!
Austin didn't have a good life growing up. His father was locked up in prison and he was made responsible for his three younger brothers. They grow up and build this kick arse business and the boys are doing good for themselves but then one day Austin gets some bad news and his life is turned upside down. Not knowing what to do Austin decides to go to his friends cabin and relax and try to think things through. But instead he gets drunk and wakes up not knowing where he is and sees a gorgeous woman that he doesn't know but he wants to get to know her.
Rachel is a single mother who is just trying to take care of her son and her mother who is disabled. She works as a maid to make money to support her family she does not have time for any shenanigans or bad boy guys but she takes one look at Austin and she wants him. They soon find out they are snowed in and their chemistry is off the chart and things happen but can it last or is the bad boy going to stay bad?

Excerpt:
I’d just straightened
up the pile of mats when a scraping sound caught my attention. Raising the
blinds, I looked out the window and saw Rachel standing in the middle of the
road, shovel in hand, pushing the snow into big piles. She’d got about ten feet
of road cleared in addition to her car.
Did she
really think she could plow the fucking road between here and the highway? It
was miles of road!
“Son of a
bitch.” I ran out of the room. Three steps later, I almost tripped over Blue in
the hallway. He’d taken up a post between me and the doorway, almost like he
couldn’t decide who he should be guarding. “Hey, boy. You okay?”
Blue sat up
with a whine and swung his head toward the front door.
“Yeah, I
think we gotta talk some sense in her. She can’t plow the fucking road all by
herself. Come on.” I grabbed my coat next to the door and pulled it on over my
naked chest. My shirt was balled up somewhere in Cole’s home gym. I shoved my
bare feet into my boots next to the door and half-assedly laced them up. Blue
whined next to me, urging me to hurry. I ripped open the door, and Blue bounded
out, with me close on his heels.
“What the
hell are you doing, woman!” I shouted before I met up with Rachel.
She glanced
at me then bent down to pet Blue. “What does it look like?”
“It looks
like you’re fucking insane. You do know there’s like five miles of road between
us and the highway, right? Are you planning on plowing the whole fucking thing
by hand?”
“I have to
do something!” Rachel waved an agitated hand as she stood back up to face me.
“I can’t just sit here and wait for someone to call or show up. I have people
waiting on me—my family is counting on me.”
“You think
I don’t know that? You think the same fucking thing isn’t happening to me right
now? I was supposed to be at work today too. Our scariest fucking client is
expecting a bike delivery today, and
I’m not gonna be there to stand between him and my brother. That’s my job!
That’s what I’ve done my whole life, and today I’m not gonna be there. I won’t
be there to protect him.”
Rachel
stared back at me with wide eyes, and her mouth opened and closed like a fish.
I sighed as
some of my anger melted away at Rachel’s bewilderment.
I hadn’t
meant to reveal so much. My shit was my shit. No one else needed to know what
was really going on in my life—least of all a piece of ass I’d hooked up with
for a night. I just had so much anger pent up. Booze hadn’t helped. Exercise
hadn’t helped. Really the only thing that’d worked was when I had her naked and
under me, but that’d never happen again.
I needed to
get my shit under control.
“Look, I’m
sorry, okay?” I reached over and gently took the snow shovel out of her hands.
“We all have shit—that’s all I’m saying. Well, that, and there’s no way either
of us is going to be able to dig our way out of this mess. There’s too much
road between us and the highway. It’s dangerous. We’re better off waiting until
the plow comes. I don’t know where the hell Cole’s business manager is, but he
still hasn’t called me back. If you’d like, I can call around and see if I can
find another service.”
Rachel bit
her lip and looked down the long, snow-covered road, her brow wrinkled.
“I’ll even
pay.”
Rachel’s
eyes shot to mine. “It’s not the money that’s bothering me. Well, it is, ‘cause
I can’t afford it, but I’m worried about the weather. There’s supposed to be
another system moving in this afternoon. If we can’t get out of here by noon, I
doubt you’ll find another outfit willing to come out in the middle of another
storm. We could be trapped here overnight again.”
I nodded
slowly. “I’ll get on the horn and see if we can get you home to your little boy
sooner than later.”
“Thank
you.”
