WOW!! Fab*u*lous Absolutely love this one!! I couldn't put this one down. This was a nice quick, short read.
Baker mets Andi when she starts coming to his gym and he leaves late. Andi knows who Baker is because he was a football star at another school. When Baker waits for Andi to come into the gym, he sees it's raining out. When Andi stumbles Baker is there to catch her, but then they both go down. Andi gets embarrassed, and leaves the gym. When Baker notices Andi's key he grabs them and follows after her. Andi doesn't think that Baker could be interested in her, her whole life her father who was drunk put her down. When Andi tells Baker she's heading to the ice cream parlor, Baker tells her he'll met her there. While on his way Baker gets a phone call of a woman with her kids who's stranded in a flood prone area. When Baker doesn't show up at the ice cream parlor Andi goes home upset. After a few days of Baker waiting for Andi to show up at the gym he decides to help out and stay. Andi doesn't show up, but the gym gets a phone call from her asking if anyone can come and help her since she has a flat tire. Baker heads out, it's a two hour drive, and finds Andi, her car didn't come with a spare tire. Baker tells Andi to climb inside his truck since it's raining outside. When Baker gets in, he notices Andi has on his hooded shirt, he tells her he like it on her. For the two hour ride back, Baker tells Andi to tell him about herself. Andi doesn't want to go first since her father was a drunk so she tells Baker to go first. Baker tells her about how he wanted to become a footballs star but an injury stopped him. Baker tells her about his father being supportive, with his career choice. When Andi tells Baker about her father leaving after her graduating, she thinks he doesn't want her. Baker tells Andi that he still wants her. When they get to Andi's home, she heads inside and takes a shower. When Baker comes in, he asks her if he can join her. After Baker pleasures her he carries her to her bedroom where they make love. Baker tells Andi he wants to marry her, and she asks him if they can get married in the rain. On their wedding day, Baker's father walks Andi down the aisle. Baker kisses Andi before the pastor even says the words. Andi has a surprise for Baker, she takes him to the spot they fell in love with to contaminate the marriage.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 Stars
🌶️🌶️🌶️/5 Spice
This is one of the fifteen books in the Good With His Hands series. Each book is written by a different author and can find all fifteen books on Amazons KU.
This was a super cute Insta love romance novella. With just 68 pages it took me a little less than an hour to finish and left me smiling from ear to ear. This book follows gym rat Baker “beast mode” Maddison, and the beautiful curvy realtor Andi. Baker has been watching Andi for a few weeks. They pass each other everyday in the gym parking lot and he wants nothing more than to show her just how good with his hands this blue collar tow truck driver can be. If you are looking for a sweet short romance read then definitely check this one out.
Quotes:
“She was highbrow, I was blue collar. And somehow, she let me know it every time we crossed paths.”
“I'd worked too hard to feel this way again, to let the old careless words of a hollow man affect me now.”

....I think rain is kinda our thing.
Ah! Andi and Baker are so adorably awkward, sweet and unsure of themselves, they both judge the other by looks and take that hit to their self confidence. But once they have their 'moment' in the rain, all bets are off and Baker is determined to claim her, hope like hell he can convince her she likes him and if he is really lucky he will steal her heart as she stole his. I love them as a couple, they both know how cruel and hard life can be, they have both risen above to bigger and better things but know their worth, remember where they came from and appreciate hard work.
A lovely, feel good read on Kindle Unlimited.

Just a quick little novella for a palette cleanser. I thoroughly enjoy this authors writing and adore the heroes in her books.

Curvy girl / gym type muscle guy
She’s a bit cynical and doesn’t trust easily. He’s been pining after her. She hasn’t given him the time of day or really acknowledged him. He makes her nervous. Girl, I get it…I feel the same way every time I go to the gym. Don’t make eye contact and try to blend into the background. The hero is seriously a big softy. Like I said, I love this authors heroes.

When it rains~
I loved this story. Surprised and happy that it was a part of Chub Club series. I enjoyed reading that series too! Both of them had preconceived ideas about the other one. Hers was keeping her distance from him, because he was the golden boy, former football star. His was she was out of his league. Thank goodness for a bit a rain, to wash all those wrong ideas away, wipe the slate clean and fall hard. Loved their epilogue!!
