Crave: Mechanic Adult Romance - Book One Kindle Edition

Rating: 3.5/5.0This is the first book I read for Lucia Jordan who writes lots of short stories in the erotica genre. This was surprisingly entertaining. The erotica part was just one scene but the whole story had mystery surrounding it. Both characters have a history of hardship, they both also have more to them than what this book tells us. I believe in the second book we will know more about them.The story ends with a cliff hanger, I know not many will like that, but for me, this was fine because I think the story was written well and was fast paced which compensated that shortcoming if it is considered one.I'd like to continue reading this series but there is a problem! The author has so many books and both Goodreads and Amazon are not showing what is the second book or the other books in this series!

This is the first book in a short serial about a down on her luck girl who does what she needs to, to keep feed and safe. She meets a wealthy businessman while trying to boost his car. Was it a setup, why was he after her and what is really going on?"A gasp lodged in her throat and her eyes grew wide when she met the steely gray gaze of the sexiest man she'd ever seen in her life.""The images that flashed through her head were far more intense and sexual than she was sure he was meaning."This certainly ended too quickly, this reader needs more of Max and Jace.

The story itself was sort of interesting but there was times where I would be lost or confused. The erotica is good, the characters have more in depth than what I anticipated which is good, I like to know more about a characters overall trait, bio, and history. There was a few spelling mistakes but I managed to pass them over due to characters that I was more invested in getting to know.

Jace has a history in crime. Even though she has a honest job, she takes side jobs to make quick money. She meets Max when she tries to steal his car. Instead of turning Jace over to the cops, he offers her a second chance by taking a job with him. One day while working, Jace comes across a file that Max has on her. Jace feels betrayed especially when he admits he hired her to steal his car. I'm left wondering what else can happen, who was Max's savior, and what's his story.

I received this 1st book in series for free from Amazon. I have read others by Lucia Jordan, so knew I would like this one from page 1. I like how she draws you in to the story, not quite giving you the full picture right away with what Jace is being hired to do for the evening. Max eludes to their similar shared past when he catches Jace, but will it lead to the same outcome? Definitely left hanging and will be looking to the next book in the series.

I usually don't like books with series of books to read. This caught my eye and pulled me in. Now I need to read the rest.

There were a couple typos, however that didn't render understanding the story. Early in the read I had assumptions on where the plot was heading, and, I was correct. That however was pushed to the back burner as I continued to read.I'm now seeking book two, rather, the complete series. Book One got hot, I'm curious to see if the fire gets hotter, or quenched.

So I've read several of her books now & they are quite simply erotica. Not outstanding storylines but still worth reading if you like the kink. I did find the end to the first book a bit of a cliff-hanger in the sense that I really wanted to know what happens next. Worth reading if you don't expect too much.

This format never seems to get old in this genre. Two cardboard characters thrown together in unlikely scenarios. Within hours they're in the bedroom and then the curtain falls at the end of Act One. Buy the second instalment to learn what happens next if you want to prolong the agony.The female car thief was so dim that she accepted a job despite having reservations about how the offer arrived. Then she approached the luxury motor in an underground garage despite everything screaming to her that it was too easy. When Max called her Ms Evans the following morning it took forever for her to realise he shouldn't know her name. Cardboard characters and a see-through plot is all you get I'm afraid.

Cannot wait to read moreShe is a unhappy person just waiting for the opportunity to move onHas she met him

Good short story, some erotic if rather tame sex scenes that hooks you in to buy next one. As expected

Shame it was so short but a good read will have to get the next one in the series it was Well written

Rubbish
