Description

There’s more than one way to love and more than one place to call home in this rousing small-town romantic comedy that’s sure to charm fans of Hannah Bonam-Young’s Next to You and Ashley Herring Blake’s Iris Kelly Doesn’t Date.

There’s no fix for a lonely heart like a little TLC…

Jessica Jae-un Miller came to Peach Blossom, Georgia, for a visit, not a breakdown. But when her rental car dies on the outskirts of town, mechanic Lavenia “Vini” Williams provides a tow—and a very welcome jump start to Jessica’s heart. It’s been a minute since Jessica’s last fling—her relationship specialty—and Vini checks all the right boxes. If only the sexy car whisperer seemed interested…

Vini knows herself and what she wants. She loves her job, her family, her hometown—but she’d love to fall in love. Jessica stirs up all the right feelings, but the city girl has no intention of staying in Peach Blossom. Why sign up for a broken heart?

But the temptation is real as Vini goes out of her way to drive a carless Jessica around town. The pair can’t seem to keep their distance—or their hands to themselves. With only six weeks to figure out where their red-hot chemistry might lead, Vini and Jessica will have to decide if home can be where the heart is when the heart only knows how to run.

Gosh! This was so damn cute and also a little sexy... much sexier than the 7-10 split. I really loved the way in which these two became their all for each other, with a little drama dashed in between

*The Relationship Mechanic* by Karmen Lee is the second installment in her Peach Blossom series, continuing the author’s exploration of love, community, and personal growth in the quaint Southern town. While it can be enjoyed as a standalone, readers who have followed Lee’s work will appreciate the deeper connections to the town and its residents that carry over from the first book.

Karmen Lee has a talent for creating a warm and inviting world that feels familiar yet fresh with each story, and this second entry further establishes Peach Blossom as a central element in her series. The return to this setting adds a layer of continuity for readers, giving them the chance to see more of the town’s charm and the people who inhabit it. With *The Relationship Mechanic*, Lee builds on the foundation of her first book while introducing new characters and conflicts that stand on their own, making it a strong and enjoyable addition to the series.

I didn’t know what to expect when deciding to read this book, but it definitely wasn’t absolute perfection like this! Oh, my god. I’m obsessed. I need more. Immediately. Jessica and Vini were explosive together!
