OTT Single Mom Instalove Romance

Harlow Kincaid

My water heater isn’t the only thing on the fritz in this house.
My love life and desire to love anyone new ended when my husband died in service to our country. 
As a romance writer, I've had the worst case of writer's block, but Copper brings back my mojo.
He doesn't have to help stressed-out widow with kids, but he does.
Maybe it’s time to do what I promised to my first love… find a new love. 

Copper Brecklin

The emergency call wasn’t my usual visit, but I’m glad to help Harlow in any way I can.
And I can think of lots of ways to help her.
Her kids are cool and I’m looking forward to reading one of her steamy books.
I’m gonna do some plumbing and hopefully, Harlow and I will create a little steam. 

Copper: Graffiti Boys 3 is an insta-love, happily-ever-after, STEAMY, single mom romance. NO cliffhangers, NO cheating. This is a standalone story part of the GRAFFITI BOYS series.

Short but intense
Good short simple romance, well written and hot, with the story of Harlow, an author of romances, who meets Copper, a plumber who immediately attracts her. She has been a widow for 3 years and she wants this strong relation, while questioning herself because she really loved her husband.
I really liked these two strong characters whose feelings in relation to each other are well described to understand the conflict of their emotions.

Copper is the third book in the Graffiti Street Bad Boys series, but Copper is definitely not a bad boy. He has a heart of gold that has always been looking for a home. He runs his own plumbing company and the story begins when he answers the phone before it’s even gotten to 6am. Harlow’s boiler has just gone on the fritz and her teenage daughter is hysterical as she is unable to finish her shower and is still covered in shampoo. Copper goes out to look into the problem straightaway and realising that Harlow is struggling financially, offers her a deal that will see him cutting his losses but will keep the teenagers happy. He also lets the kids go to his place to finish their morning rituals before school. Why? Because the attraction between them is instant and mutual. Harlow’s husband was KIA, and she still has to come to terms with a lot but she also knows that she should be living. As a romance novelist, her characters live more, although her writing has fizzled out of late. Copper inspires her in more ways than one. As a regular at the Graffiti Street bar and good friends with familiar faces, it’s a very small world that both Copper and Harlow find themselves in. Another excellent addition with a passionate relationship and an all round feel good factor. Loved it :-)

The Rebellion

COPPER is the third book in the Graffiti Street Bad Boys series. Copper Brecklin is a plumber who works for Greaffiti Street Plumbing in Kildare, NV. Harlow Kincaid is a romance writer who is is a single mother to two teenagers, Roan who is seventeen and Arya who is sixteen. Harlow was widowed when the only man who she loved and had been with for twenty years was killed in Afghanistan three years ago. Since then she has not really been in the land of the living, instead just doing things because of her kids. When the hot water tank springs a big leak Harlow calls the GS Plumbing Emergency Line which is answered by Copper. As everyone else is already busy and her address is a couple of blocks away from his house Copper decides to go there himself. When the door swings open he is confronted with an upset teenager who has suds in her hair and goop on her face. As soon as he sees Harlow walking down the stairs, with long legs and perfect pin-up proportions, he is not sure what to do with himself. This sets off a whole series of events that will take both Harlow and Copper into new territory for each.

Copper Brecklin works for Graffiti Street Plumbing. He is the guy on call for night emergencies this week. He gets a call from Harlow Kincaid that water is spewing out of her hot water tank. Everyone else is out on calls, so Copper agrees to go over there immediately. She only lives a couple of blocks away. It is near his old college roommate, Hemi, used to have a house.

Harlow is a romance novelist. She has not been able to write much since her husband Ryan died three years ago serving his country. Harlow has two kids. Roan is almost eighteen and Arya is sixteen.

I laughed that Harlow’s sister-in-law knows Copper from the gym where she is his personal trainer. I thought it was cute that Harlow and Copper were instantly attracted to each other. I was glad Harlow could use her dirty thoughts about Copper as inspiration to get her novel done by the deadline.

Another cute story in the series.

Harlow is a writer and a widowed mom to two teenagers. When her water heater tank busts she calls the repair man - what she isn’t prepared for is her reaction to the Adonis of a man that shows up.
Copper has been single for some time, prefers his lady to be not afraid to eat. When he shows up at Harlow’s to fix her water heater problem, he doesn’t expect the beautiful mom with two funny teenagers.
Their chemistry is off the charts, but can Harlow let herself love and be loved by another man?

I loved this story, the plot pulled my heart strings so much. Even though this is a short story, Brynn did amazing with it and the characters. I loved Copper’s patience with Harlow and I loved Harlow’s bravery, together they are perfect - the ending made me melt. I can’t wait to see what Brynn writes next

Copper Brecklin was answering the “Graffiti Street Plumbing, Emergency Line” this night and it seemed like it was one disaster after another. This latest call was a hot water heater running water all over the floor, and all of plumbers were out on calls. Since she lived nearby, he decided to handle the call himself.

Harlow writes romances for a living. She has two teenagers, which keeps things jumping! When Copper responds to her emergency call, she is immediately attracted to him. Her husband had died in the service a few years ago, and she begins to think it might be time to pursue another relationship. Copper has also been single for some time and immediately feels drawn to the woman and her two teens. Their chemistry sizzles, but will guilt keep Harlow from opening her heart to another man?

TBH, I didn't really 'get' this. There were too many superficial characters for a novella... I kept trying to place them rather than concentrate on the instalove. So... I felt I didn't really know either Harlow or Copper. Sighs.

( and a thing that I really don't get... in any story that I have read when the lead's love has died... the whole when they all die they will be reunited... I mean... how does that work? Surely, if they were in love... it was their one true love? Just reminds of the stupid Titanic love story. Really annoys me... Rose lived a long life, got married, had kids... etc etc... yet, when she dies she is met by Jack... doesn't make sense to me and make a mockery of the life she led and her family. Rather like Harlow/Corbin/Copper. I know... I know... I have gone on a bit, but it really does aggravate me!! )

Copper is another installment in Brynn Hale’s Graffiti Street Bad Boys series. In this one she chronicles the romantic journey of Harlow Kincaid and Copper Breklan. She is a widow and romantic author struggling to raise two teenagers. He is a MC member who owns and runs his own plumbing firm. Destiny brings them together when her hot water heater dies at 5 a.m. When they meet they are instantly attracted to each other, however, the ghosts of their pasts create obstacles to an HEA. Will it happen? To find out, you must read this book.

Once again Ms. Hale entertains her readers with a curvy girl and biker romance. I appreciate that her lead characters are strong and independent yet are vulnerable at times. This particular contemporart romance is a second chance at love plot especially for Harlow who already lost one love of her life. The dialog is outstanding as is the descriptive scenes. This was quite an enjoyable read.

This is a single mom over the top love story with her plumber Copper. She calls him in because her water heater was leaking. One look and Copper is in love. Harlow's husband was killed in battle and even though she thinks Copper is the best she's not sure she will ever be able to give him all her love especially with her two teenage children. I loved this story, it's a quick read about an hour but it's filled with passion and pain, well written and and great characters. Wonderful read.

Copper is a plumber who is called to an emergency, and is blown away when he meets single mom Harlow, who has 2 teen kids. After some dancing around each other, they sleep together, but she is still struggling with the death of her husband in action.

This story is short, funny, and full of sassy characters with chemistry bouncing off the pages. It also really tugged at my heartstrings. I enjoyed this story so much!.

Copper is a heartwarming and sexy hot novella with beautiful connection and deep emotion. Harlow is a widow with two teenage children struggling to find herself after losing her husband. Her meeting Copper is destiny, and I adore how hard and fast he falls for her. Their connection is intense, and his deep understanding and caring for her and her kids is just so beautiful. I loved every moment of this one!

I voluntarily reviewed an arc of this book.

I really enjoyed this fast-paced OTT single mom story in the Graffiti Street Bad Boys series, it is the third book but can be read as a standalone story.
This is a quick read with a sweet and steamy storyline, Copper and Harlow have an instant connection when he comes to her house to help with a major plumbing problem. I really liked both Copper and Harlow as characters even her children were incredibly likable. Wonderful story!

OMG!!

This! This book was amazing. Charlie's husband died three years ago and she's been a shell of her former self. Cooper walks into her life and he falls hard for her. She's not sure she's ready to move on though. The way the author showed it was okay to move on was sweet. The epilogue seals the sweetness!

Super quick read

So this book is short and definitely an instalove story. It has the beginning and end of a romance book and nothing in between. It wasn't bad I would have really liked it if it was longer.
