Why do Do-It-Yourself...

Single mom Anne Edmond can handle—and hand-make—just about anything. From table settings to party favors, floral arrangements to nursery décor, there is no project her creativity and a glue gun can’t tackle. But dating? That’s a whole ’nother story. Case in point: Mike Everett. He’s a gorgeous mechanic and known car-whisperer, a man who can work with auto parts like nobody’s business. And he has thrown a monkey wrench into Anne’s carefully-crafted life...

When you can do it together?

One look at Anne is enough for Mike to know that she’s no fixer-upper. She’s perfect just the way she is—and the chemistry between them works like a charm. Mike’s always been a no-strings kind of guy, but Anne’s impressive self-reliance—and gorgeous exterior—gives him pause. This time, a fast joyride just doesn’t seem like enough. But first he has to convince Anne that he means to take her all the way... 

HUBBY'S REVIEW:

This book starts with Uncle Mike dropping off his niece at a birthday party and when he meets the girls’ mother he is attracted to her. He decides to stay even though it is a total little girl’s party and he does not know what has come over him. Anne the birthday girl mother is attracted to him also but she is divorced and is older than him by six years and is trying to figure out if he is flirting with her or not and if he is why? Mike you find out later restores old cars and that really helps the story along for me the talk of the older cars and going to a car show adds to the story which is not in to many of the books now a days. Anne, owns a party planning business and she also has a blog that she does along with two of her friends. The story moves along and her friends are trying to help her see that she is worthy of this young man’s attention and that she is attractive. She likes that he is there for her when she needs help and is looking out for her as well, she did not have that in her marriage. She is just confused because of the age and she is having feelings for him that she really does not remember having with her ex. Every time she moves forward something or someone knocks them back or makes her think that he is not ready. He is telling her that he is but it is taking her awhile to come around. This is a good story with a lot of good characters that help the story along, and really help the story I think. Overall a very good book. I got this book from net galley.  I give this 4 Stars.
