Wrecked

Blue Collar Bad Boys Series, Book 4

By: Brill Harper

Narrated by: Leanne Woodward

Length: 2 hrs and 5 mins

Publisher's summary

I knew the moment I saw her bent over the hood of her car on the side of the road that Layna was trouble. It looked like the opening scene from a porno. A shapely blonde in a short skirt waiting for me to tow her sports car out of a ditch and dirty up that sweet, pure body with my filthy mechanic hands. I could hear the bow-chicka-bow-wow soundtrack in my head. Then, she opened her sassy mouth, and everything about my reclusive, sensible, quiet life changed because Layna is not reclusive, sensible, or quiet.

Unfortunately, she’s also mine. We both knew it right away, whether we wanted it or not. But she’s got her demons, and I’ve got my work cut out for me. She thinks I’m big, surly, and overprotective. She has no idea. Whatever she’s running from, I’m going to fix. Whatever she needs, I’m going to give her. And the sooner she figures out what she needs is me, the better off we’ll both be.

Author’s confession: Like all heroes in my Blue Collar Bad Boys series, this hero is outrageous, excessive, overblown (heh), and overdone. Just the way we like them. He’s dirty; she’s sweet. He’s from the wrong side of the tracks. She’s a poor little rich girl. It’s trope heaven up in here. Also, not to spoil anything, but there might be neckties and bedposts happening. What would you do if the dude on this cover was bound and determined to let you do whatever you wanted to his body?

Not as good as previous books

This books doesn’t make much sense at the beginning. The narrator sounds like she is reading rather than getting into the character; not to mention she does a poor job with Rogan’s voice. Sad to say that this book is a big disappointment. I hope the author returns to the original narrators for the last book in this series.

Love!

Cute quick fun story! Author never disappoints with her books and the performance is great too.

I love everyone of them!

I love this series! As soon as I saw Audible had the next book 4 I jumped on it. Such great stories and none of the “too” much fluff crap that some books have just to make them 3 times longer. Nope you get a fantastic story, a great bunch of characters and always the HEA that we all love.

Junk food for the ears (in a good way)

Oh, man, this book. I've been a romance reader for the majority of my life. I cut my teeth on Nora Roberts before I was even a teenager. So it takes a lot for me to laugh at a romance, especially if it's not a romantic comedy or isn't even trying to be funny.

This book, however, had me laughing in second-hand embarrassment and disbelief. Look, I know this wasn't going to be an epic romance. I was looking for something that was dirty and quick. Wrecked met that criteria, but, this book is so over-the-top ridiculous that I can't help laughing out loud. Suspend disbelief on this one, readers.

The biggest issue I had with this book (other than it's ridiculousness) was the insta-love. Ugh, insta-love. I hate it. I get that this book was short so things had to happen quickly, but there's seriously zero run up to the hero deciding he's in love. Speaking of the hero … I really like how the author crafted Rogan. I wish this book was longer so we could get a fully fleshed version of this story.

This book is like when you're sort of hungry and are scouting your shelves for a snack. Suddenly you remember you have that giant bag of Doritos you bought last week and grab for it with a triumphant grin. You settle on the couch with your Doritos, turn on the TV, and mindlessly start munching away until, you realize, the bag is completely empty. You feel a little guilty for gorging on the chips because you know they aren't good for you (especially an entire bag in one sitting), but you also sort of don't regret it. That's what this book was for me. Gorging on something that is not the greatest, and, yet … yep, still no regrets.

Wowzers!!!

What a Hawt story. I absolutely enjoyed listening to this audiobook. It had me hooked from start to finish. Even though it was a short one, it was still a good one!!!

Wrecked

This series is so good. Tow truck driver, Rogan, pulls Layna's car out of a ditch when she was running from her evil stepfather. She ends up in jail and Rogan's phone number is the only one she can remember. He bails her out and takes her to his house. Brill Harper really know how to write steamy books.

Leanne Woodward did a great job with the narration. I received this free copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Hot short read!

This is a pretty great short read! Layna and Rogan are a great match and his instant fierceness to protect her is so sweet. Its love at first sight and He's ready to claim her as his own! This would be a great laying by the pool or beach read, def check it out

2.5 Stars

Not my favorite from this series, especially after having just read Tagged, which is leading the charge as my favorite. I felt like this story started at the wrong place in their relationship, so we were immediately trying to play catch-up. It made me less interested in them than I might have been had it started the day before when they'd actually met. And the introduction of her stepfather came too late as well, it seemed like an afterthought the storyline, but it was actually a pretty big part of it. I also wasn't a fan of the narrator, she did both points of view, but I couldn't tell the difference between any of the characters, and there wasn't any emotion to her voice, it was like she was reading, not performing. Overall, it just didn't work for me.

It wrecked a little early on for me

The story was ok. The first chapter was unique, but after that it was very ho-hum. There was no time for sexual chemistry... they practically jumped right into making out. Had the story been more about them wanting and tempting each other but not giving in, I think it might have been more interesting.

The narrator read kind of slow, so I ended up bumping it to 1.20x so she sounded like a college girl instead of a sweet middle aged woman. No change in voice for male POV.

I received an audio version of this book in exchange for an honest review.
