Alden
is not only home to the gorgeous Bowen brothers, but also to the OGs, three
hilarious octogenarian grandmas who believe age is nothing but a number. After
their success helping one grandchild find love, they’ve decided to move on to
the next. Nothing will stop them. Not even jail…
Rachel’s upbringing was rough, but at 34, she loves the life she’s built for
herself. She adores her grandmother, Alden, and her job as a mechanic. Now, if
her grandma and her friends would just stop getting into trouble, everything
would be perfect. She’s doing her best to keep them on the straight and narrow,
but she spends more time arguing with the sheriff than working in her garage.
Case in point the OGs’ latest stunt, which got all of them, Rachel included,
sentenced to community service. So now she has to keep an eye on the crazy
grannies and on the street teenage thugs she’s been court-ordered to teach
mechanics to.
And all thanks to the sheriff and that huge, unbendable stick up his ass.
Adrian Skehan, a top-notch detective in Boston, enjoyed putting dangerous
criminals and drug kingpins behind bars. He loved his fast-paced, glamorous
city life, but after his estranged grandfather had a major stroke, he moved to
Alden, became the sheriff and now he spends his days chasing after senior
citizens and dealing with the OGs – the bane of his existence – and Rachel,
their obnoxious defender.
Terrific career move, really. Way to screw up his life. And his mental
wellbeing.
As if life wasn’t hard enough, now the OGs have decided to work on their bucket
list… meaning the granddaughter and the sheriff must join forces to survive the
mayhem.
He likes his women… ivory-tower delicate. Not loud, highly opinionated and
smelling of gasoline.
She likes her men… easy-going. Not arrogant know-it-alls and sticklers for
rules.
Keeping these two together is a recipe for disaster. Too bad the OGs don’t see
it that way.

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is the second book in the series, and I would definitely recommend that
you start at book one to get the full goodness! The OGs are a force of nature,
and getting the fullness of their crazy will start your day right, and Mike and
Kyra's romance is a good reason to read it too.
We start with the OGs really getting into trouble; in fact, so badly that
Sheriff Adrian not only puts them behind bars, but also one of their
grandchildren, the feisty mechanic Rachel. He has recently moved out of Boston,
and Alden's crazy residents have pushed him too far. He also doesn't understand
Rachel and her lack of feminine outfits and her constant garage smell. He is,
in fact, a bit of an idiot at this point. It is always here that I stop and
wonder how the author is going to turn such thoughts and opinions around!
Rachel ends up with community service and helps a bunch of young felons to do
work in her garage. Adrian supervises and starts to appreciate her strength of
character and patience. Things turn nasty, complicated, and unsettling in this
book, and I loved the twists and turns which finally got there to be a romance
at all. It is another excellent read, for completely different reasons.
Thank you, Elle Aycart, for a fun, but also thought-provoking read.
Mary Jo – ☆☆☆☆
This is not your typical feel-good romance book. Both Rachel and Adrian have
pasts they would rather not talk about, yet each knows that secrets ferment and
cause things to sour.
We know most of Adrian's secrets from the beginning and as they come to light
during the course of the book. The reader can sense there's something more to
Rachel, but we don't find out about her past until Adrian does.
Rachel knew that her past would have a direct impact on her budding
relationship with Adrian, yet she keeps her secrets. And would have continued
to do so until she felt it was right to spill her secrets. Rachel's plan
backfired when a stranger outed her not only in front Adrian but also a handful
of people she considered friends.
What happens next is that two people have to sit down and have an honest
conversation with each other. That takes time when one person believes they
were maliciously lied to and the other believes they are not worthy of the
other.
After a colorful array of jobs all over
Europe ranging from translator to chocolatier to travel agent to sushi chef to
flight dispatcher, Elle Aycart is certain of one thing and one thing only:
aside from writing romances, she has abso-frigging-lutely no clue what she
wants to do when she grows up. Not that it stops her from trying all sorts of
crazy stuff. While she is probably now thinking of a new profession, her head
never stops churning new plots for her romances. She lives currently in
Barcelona, Spain, with her husband and two daughters, although who knows, in no
time she could be living at the Arctic Circle in Finland, breeding reindeer.
Elle loves to hear from readers!
