My favorite book from Insta-Love On The Run Series!
Just like the others, this book was a novella full of heat and fast and easy to read.
Amber and Dean "Diesel" both live with grief and lost, and both are wandering around trying to move on from the pain of losing important people.
But when they finally talk to each other, something fires up and it's addicting to read.
There was lust and heat and the last chapter was so weet, showing them a few months later, so we can see a little bit of their future.
Light, sexy and to the point, it was a great way to relax and swoon!

This book is just perfect for what it is - a short, hot story. Love the unexpected character elements, love the build up of chemistry between the leads, and love the transition to a believable happy ending. Very sexy, very safe, and very well done.

Her Dirty Mechanic
Bella Love-wins
Love this short insta Love story. But then again who wouldn't? It may be short but its to the point. Love can happen anywhere and at any time. Even with two widowed hearts, who are were made for each other. They just got to give their hearts a chance.

Amber is a real estate agent and a bartender whose life was turned upside down from losing the father of her kids, her husband too early. She would love that mechanic to clean her engine out if she ever met him outside his work. But with a full scheduled life three kids and her father with early onset dementia. Life is a bit hard right now to get out and have some fun. But that all changes when she's able to pick her baby up from the shop...

Gruff mechanic Diesel is working late on a beautiful vintage Camaro when sexy realtor Amber walks in to claim her vehicle. Neither of them has been in any sort of romantic relationship since their spouses’ tragic deaths, but they feel a connection to each other that just can’t be ignored. One thing leads to another and soon they can’t keep their hands to themselves.
After unexpectedly enjoying His Ex’s Little Sister so much, I jumped right in when I got an email from Bella offering the latest addition to her Instalove on the Run series. At only 63 pages, this book didn’t even take up an hour of my time.
Like His Ex’s Little Sister, Her Dirty Mechanic is fast-paced and fun. Unlike His Ex’s Little Sister, the book is so short that I really struggled to connect with the characters. Add to that the dialogue, which sometimes felt like it belonged in old-fashioned porn, and I was kind of indifferent to this installment of the series.
Not every book from an author is going to be a hit, but I’m still looking forward to my next book by Bella Love-Wins.
I received a free advance copy of Her Dirty Mechanic from the author.

I really enjoyed this short story. I liked both the hero and heroine. I liked that both hero and heroine had similar pasts. They had both lost love ones. I liked the chemistry between Diesel and Amber. I liked Amber’s sass and Diesels attraction to her. Overall, this book is an enjoyable read with some steamy moments/scenes.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and an enjoyable read.
Amber is a busy woman. She is a widower and a single mother to three young boys. She is runs two businesses and is taking care of her father who has dementia. Diesel has also lost loved ones. He lost the woman he loved and his young daughter due to a drunk driver. He spends his days working himself to exhaustion at an auto repair shop. Diesel has spotted the attractive woman at the local café a few times. When the attractive woman comes to the garage for her car, sparks fly between her and Diesel. What starts off as a steamy romp in the garage turns into a relationship and both Amber and Diesel find themselves falling for one another. Will Amber and Diesel finally get a second chance at love that they so badly deserve?

Dirty talk, mechanic style!
Working late at the repair shop on a Friday night. Typical for Diesel since he’s thrown himself into his work for the past two years trying to forget his personal loss.
Working late at the real estate office on a Friday night. Typical for Amber since she’s bustling to keep her family of three boys and an aging father under the same roof. She lost her husband to a heart attack and keeping busy keeps the loneliness at bay.
So, when Amber picks up her car from the shop that’s right next to her office, she can’t help notice Diesel has the same sad look. They’ve noticed each other at the coffee shop but never talked. Amber takes a chance at flirting with Diesel, and he decides to give it right back at her. Oh my god, the dirty talk is so funny. And it leads to some really hot counter sex. Ms. Wins packs in a lot of funny banter in this short story. It’s deliciously sexy.

Amber thinks the mechanic is hawt hawt hawt and wouldn't mind taking him for a spin. a few sexual innuendos later they are hot and heavy on the counter. will diesel be able to move on with his life? will Amber be able to deal with all the stress in her life? can Amber and diesel make it work?
September 5, 2017
Bella Love-Wins has another wonderful hit and series. This insta-love is no different than the others. Diesel is closing up shop and decides to do some extra work on this hot little hot rod while he waits for the last customer to show up. Amber makes her appearance and throws herself under the car to see what he did to it. Even though he protests, he is impressed that she knows so much about cars and that she is so hot. They have had their eyes on each other for a long time, but now is the time to make their moves. They certainly live up to each others expectations, and show their love. I loved how this played out and the story line with the characters. I voluntarily read an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

A second chance romance. Dean, aka Diesel, is a beautiful but lonely man. He lost both his wife and daughter in a auto accident by a drunk driver. His life is empty, so he works over time at the auto shop, since he has no one to go home to. Amber is a widow, with 3 sons and a father with dementia, and runs a real estate business with a partner. She lost her husband 3 years ago to a rare heart condition.While these two have had each other on their, until one night when Amber comes in late to pick up her Camaro, do they realize that there are second chances. I read an ARC from the author. This was a quick enjoyable read. I love second chance stories and this was a very enjoyable one to read.

This is a great short second chance at love story for Amber and Diesel. Amber has been a widow for 3 years, has 3 young boys, a father with dementia and works two jobs. Diesel, Dean has had a loss that he has not been able to recover from and buries himself in his work as a mechanic. It is absolutely wonderful to see two lost souls connect over a car and take the time to fill their hearts with love again. Bella Love-wins has a way of giving love to those in need. I can not wait to go back and read the stories I missed in this series! I voluntarily received an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. Wow! Another great book in the Insta-Love on the Run series. I really enjoyed Amber and Dean(Diesel)'s story. I loved how though it was a fast paced read you are able to get a full story. I also enjoy the story line. The two may have both suffered loss but are still able to find love again. This was a hot steamy and sexy read right from the beginning. I liked how they both have been lusting over each other from afar for awhile. Amber's work is close to Dean's and he passes by daily when he goes to get coffee from the cafe. The perfect quick read when you only have a little time to read. Great HEA!
September 7, 2017
They have never met but have starred in each others steamy fantasies. Neither is a stranger to heartbreak but mechanic Diesel's (Dean) is about to come true when Amber, the beautiful blonde real estate broker that he has been lusting after, comes to pick up her car from the garage.
This is a hot, sexy, heart-warming romance by the awesome Bella Love-Winters that proves a great story can be told in less than a hundred pages. I feel like I really got to know the characters and this sizzling story has a sweet upbeat ending. Wonderful romance in a small package. I loved it.

Amber, widowed a few years ago, isn't ready to get back in the dating game until she goes to pick up her car and meets Diesel, who is also grieving the death of his wife and is even less ready to move forward. Bonding over their shared love for her vintage Camaro, the sparks soon fly out of control! This author really knows how to bring the heat and craft a story that feels like a full novel even though it's just a quickie. Great fun, perfect for a quick afternoon pick-me-up.

Steamy hot Insta-love short story! Absolutely love this short story. Diesel (Dean) is the mechanic who appreciates classic cars. Amber owns her father’s 1969 ZL-1 Camaro. When Amber arrives at the end of the day to pick up her car from the shop, things heat up fast between Diesel and Amber. Both are widows who have a need that has to be filled…a long overdue need.
This is a MUST READ! BUT, there is a warning…you must be careful while reading this short story because you could get burned…it’s hot, hot, hot!!

I received an ARC of this book for an honest review. THUS is the seventh installment of Ms.Bella-Win's InstaLove series. I get such a luck out of these stories. Hey we have a widowed mechanic, Diesel, who instantly craves a customer when she comes in to pick up her classic Camaro. Amber is also a widow with 3 young sons all under the age of 8. She hasn't had any interest in men or dating but feels immediately drawn to Diesel. Their attraction is intense and over-the-top, exactly as it should be for Bella's great characters!

Diesel is a haunted man, his anger is justified and who can blame him for it. Amber is a tough cookie, single mom of three boys, taking care of her ailing father and a co-owner of a realtor business plus works at least one night a week at a bar. Both of them are plodding through life the best they can when they stumble into each other's past all because her car needed to be serviced! Can these two find happiness together? Can Diesel overcome his hurt enough to let Amber in, can Amber let go of her hurt as well? To find out, read this hot short story!

This is book seven in the Insta-Love Series of short stories. Amber lost their husband to a heart attack and Diesel lost his whole family to a drunk driver. They have admired each other from afar. Amber's was working late on Friday and stopped by the garage to pick up her car. She noticed the sadness in Diesel's eyes and it tugged at her lonely heart. One thing and another and the next thing they are having hot sex on the counter in his shop. No spoiler here, but love make the eyes less sadder. I received an advance copy and voluntarily chose to review.

If you only have a short time to read, these stories are for you, quick read and big love! I love these Insta-Love on the Run stories! They're quick reads perfect for a fast fix. Both Diesel and Amber are not looking for love, each having lost big loves of their lives but chemistry just ignites them. They might not be full deep detailed stories but they're quick and to the point and pack a punch!
September 2, 2017
Both, Diesel and Amber had suffered losses. Amber, alone, had many responsibilities to take care of. Diesel’s sadness had made him a lonely man deprived of hope. Too much time yearning for something they needed and when they met sparks were flying. Provocative and steamy hot short story with two protagonists ready for the action. Lot of passion, good feelings and hope. Hot and amusing story that I enjoyed.
September 6, 2017
A lovely, spicy quick read!! I've enjoyed this insta-love on the run series, they're all fun, fast paced, hot & full of insta-love & insta hot lust. Lol
These characters had both lost loved ones & were struggling with all that life had thrown at them. Meeting & falling in love was the start of saving each other from allowing life to drown them!!
You can't go wrong with this story!!

This is a short, but very steamy, hard to put down romance short story. I really enjoyed how Amber and Diesel meet. Hot! Hot! Hot! Amber is a young widow and mother of three little boys. Diesel lost his wife and little daughter because of a drunk driver. They both need some hot lovin, and even better, love. It is a wonderful, steamy short story that you can enjoy, even when you do not have a lot of time. I voluntarily reviewed this advance copy.

This definitely wasn't a bad story it just wasn't for me. I don't really know why I don't care for this story because it sounds like it was right up my alley. However, it seems like it just didn't hit the right buttons. I didn't feel any kind of connection between the main characters so the chemistry felt forced. I actually ended up getting bored and forgot I was even reading this story. The only real good things in my opinion were that a happy ending was reached and the story was very short.

Extremely short and smutty story of Amber & Diesel. I read this short story in about 30 minutes and it was extremely sexy the whole time. Melt your kindle hot! This would make a great bedtime story for sure. Insta love, with a sassy business woman and a brooding mechanic. Yes, please!
