Harley Brooks represented everything I hated. She was rich, beautiful, and belonged to a class of people who thought I was dirt. I vowed never to get tangled up with the likes of her, the elite East Pointers who ruled this town. But then Harley grew up and wasn’t like the rest.
Now that I’ve seen who Harley is, I ‘d rather suffer the consequences than stay away from her.
Harley
Wyatt Dunne has been my dad’s mechanic since I was in pigtails, but we grew up in two completely different worlds. People from the South Banks didn’t mix with East Point society, and Wyatt had good reason to despise us even more than most. Despite our separate universes, sparks fly and we can’t stay away from each other.
Money can get you lots of things, but it can’t buy love.
Wyatt and Harley have grown up together but they are from two opposite worlds. Wyatt is the son of the mechanic that tended to Harley‘s fathers car collection. Harley was born with a silver spoon in her mouth but isn’t like her friends and her social circle. Wyatt absolutely detest the elite society because of his sister’s tragic demise. Will Harley be able to break the chains of perception of being in the elite society for Wyatt? Will Wyatt let Harley passed his gruff and stand-offish exterior to the heart of him?
What happens when you mixed with wrong side of the tracks? Its HOT!!!
Harley is from the " rich side " of town. Since the death of her mother, she feels completely alone. She can't even relate to her friends anymore. Wyatt is from the " wrong side " of the tracks. He works as a mechanic for Harleys dad. He knows that he should never touch her. Since the death of his sister, he avoids her kind like the plaque. But, what happens when he does get that one touch....its explosive. These two were hot together!!! This book has suspense, steam, and even a little murder. It was so good.

This story was awesome. It was sweet, romantic, steamy, fun to read,safe, with great characters and a great storyline. Wyatt from the wrong side of town and the hot woman Harley from the better side. Two opposites that attract. Wyatt tried to deny his feelings but nothing could stop Harley from getting to know and love him. This story was captivating, made me guess about the characters and their intentions. In the end love won and they got their HEA.😍😍😍
Wonderful!! This was a nice quick, short read. I really enjoyed this book!

Harley, 23, lives in a mansion and her family has a lot of money but she still feels empty. Her mom died when she was younger and her dad loves his cars and has his own personal mechanic, Wyatt. Wyatt has worked hard but grew up on the poor side of town and considers Harley a spoiled, pampered princess. He especially resents the rich in town who led to sister’s supposed suicide after she reported she was gang raped and pregnant by 3 preppy town boys. Harley’s dad has asked him to keep a protective eye on his daughter while he is out of town and she is hanging out with her friends. Harley is attracted to he handsome and sexy mechanic and Wyatt knows she is forbidden but he still thinks about her. After she gets drunk at a party he takes her home and they are intimate after she is terrified by a power outage. When her father returns will Wyatt be fired for sleeping with his boss’s daughter or will they find happiness together?
I enjoyed this rather dark story with 2 people of totally different backgrounds coming together and give it 3.5*. Harley has always had money but felt her dad loved his cars more than her and Wyatt grew up without much but worked hard and resented the rich boys that got away with ruining his sister. There were some dark parts of the story that left me with questions but the epilogue was a good ending for Harley and Wyatt.

The ending of this book is so bananas that all I could do is laugh. The bulk of the novel is fairly tame and then they just go off the deep end
Even before the end this book has lots of sudden changes. Right at the beginning he hated Harley for being an East sider or whatever. Then she talks to him once and he suddenly goes “oh she’s not like the other.” Lots of over reactions (like Wyatt and the car moving guys). And why are they telling every service/delivery person that she’s home alone for a week! Stranger danger people.
I would recommend this book for the entertainment value. I enjoyed it for all it’s wild and weird ways. I could not take it seriously.
The steamy scenes are pretty good. They could have been a little spicier, but they were pretty good.
Wyatt and Harley grew up in the opposite sides of town. Wyatt was the private mechanic for her father who loved cars more than her. His sister died after coming forward about being attacked by some rich boys. Harley changes after some situations that distance her from her upper crust friends. When Wyatt protects Harley after she gets drunk with some friends, a situation unfolds that changes their lives. The characters and storyline have great emotion and feelings that pull you in. Both main characters gain strength from each other. The understanding and support go a long way to the ending that was perfect.

He's from the wrong side of town and he's always had to work hard. She's rich, bored, lonely and can't take her eyes off him. A hot day will start to break down the barriers between them.
OMG this is such a fantastic story! Worth more than 5 stars. This is first time reading one of Milas stories and won't be the last! The story is filled with red hot passion simmering under cold indifference, love and hate, loyalty and fickleness, revenge and betrayal. The characters are interesting and compelling to read. Told from dual POV intimately reveals their thoughts, feelings and emotions as they explore their relationship and try to find a way to keep together. There's an epilogue and a HEA!
The story had good, even great, bones, but Mila failed to deliver. Here are my huge issues: The editing, this book needed some. Lots of errors, wrong words, idioms used incorrectly. The way Wyatt was written. He was paid an excessive amount by Mr. Brooks to get him to stay and work for him, but he was broke and living in a trailer. That does not compute. A secretly rich angle would have made a LOT more sense. Heat lightning is not a thing. It's been scientifically disproven. Using it as a way to bring light to the sky in the dark is dumb. If the story had been fleshed out better and Wyatt wasn't broke and slumming this would have been fantastic. As it was, this one fell flat for me.
WTH did I just read. The first half is boring and repetitive over how they’re from different sides of town her being rich and him poor. The fact that she knows how crappy of a person her best friend is and she learns that his sister was raped and killed by the rich people and comes to a conclusion that the rich do suck and tells off her bestie and flips off the rich people made it sound like she wouldn’t be around them anymore but no the next night she’s with her bestie and rich folks getting drunk. Then at a party with her dad and everyone her bestie hands her a pill and she pops it with no questions until afterwards. Then the next day she’s pregnant. It’s only been a week since they had sex and the pregnancy is at the end of the book. And yes the bestie is still in the picture.

I like the trope of rich girl and poor man and was looking forward to Reading this But this one was ok. I know it’s a novella but the story didn’t really flow well. I felt like so much was happening just to have some action. I also didn’t really feel the connection between Harley and Wyatt. And the ending was a bit funny with how things went down. Also I’m not sure if there was cheating or not because I think Harley mentions she has a boyfriend but then her father says she’s single? And why did Harley aim a gun at Wyatt? Was it just in case she couldn’t make him stop? It was just random and confusing.
This is such a good story! I instantly loved Harley, shewas a prisoner in her world. She was nothing like any of the people she grew up with. I admired Wyatt, he walked through hell and still tried to protect the people he felt needed it. The characters were so lovable and suited each other perfectly. Their chemistry was undeniable. Their passion was off-the-charts! I have read several of Ms. Crawford's books and she is definitely one of my very favorite authors! This story is a perfect example of why I think she's great! Well done! A must read!
I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. This story is part of the multi author series Knocked Up. It is about two very different people who fit well together. Harley and Wyatt come from different backgrounds. He had been the mechanic for her father for a while. Now that she is older, and an opportunity presents itself, they will not deny the feelings between them any longer. It has consequences, though they work thru those also.

This is a love story for Wyatt and Harley. Lol can this girl bring anymore trouble with her than she already has. She has been lusting over Wyatt for some time and just when she takes the lead and takes what he wants to give her she has to mess up one little thing that leads to her getting everything they both want but with a twist. I loved this book.

I thought that this was a really good book. Wyatt and Harley are from two separate worlds but they can't stop the pull that they feel towards each other. This book broke my heart yet had it racing with the connection, chemistry, drama, suspense, and growth of Wyatt and Harley, and the really sweet and heartwarming HEA. I really enjoyed this book and I would recommend it and Ms. Mila as a great author.

This was a okay/good read. Wyatt the mechanic and Harley the rich girl. What a combination. Wyatt didn’t like the rich crowd because of what happened to his sister. Harley set out to prove she wasn’t like the stuck up upper crust rich crowd. Harley surprised me in the end. I gave it 3 1/2 stars because it wasn’t bone shattering exciting but it does teach a lesson that even the rich have problems.
Wyatt and Harley come from opposite sides of the tracks. She’s the rich girl and he’s the mechanic that looks after all her father’s precious cars. Even though Hartley’s friends aren’t the nicest, Wyatt can tell Harley is different. This was an entertaining read. Some past emotions come into play and add to the storyline. The characters were likeable and had a great connection. I received an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This is enemies to lovers read, rish girl harley falls for wyatt who works for her dad, this isn't an easy fall in love story there are things that need to be set aside for them to get together but this is a, good read

I loved Harley and Wyatt's story. Two people from different walks of life - an attraction that Wyatt thought they would never act on but when they did it sealed their hearts to each other. They just have to figure out a way to keep each other. Story was entertaining, sweet, emotional ( due to an incident involving Wyatt's younger sister)
Harley and Wyatt grew up together. She was the daughter of the rich man his father worked for. They were from different t sides of the track. Harley is not like most in her station. Will she be able to convince Wyatt of this and change his attitude towards her?

Wow! I don’t know what I was expecting out of this story, but it wasn’t the ending! It had drama, steam, and a lot of drama. It’s a great story with equally great characters. I have a little bit of a book-hangover - that’s how good it is! Trigger warning: rape, suicide, and drug use
Best series so far! I’ve read one other book in this series so far and I’ve loved both books! These authors are trying to kill me with all the hotness I keep reading, I swear. Wyatt and Harleys story is amazing though, definitely check it out it’s a really good book.

Absolutely loved the newest book in the Knocked up series. Harley is the sweetest character with a little bit of spitfire in her veins. Wyatt has vowed to never get involved with the elite young women, they truly have the best ending and I adore their story. Always a five star read from this incredible author.
An enjoyable fast-paced page-turner! It is emotionally deep, well written, engaging, and relatable with drama, interesting friends, steam, twists and turns, likeable characters, witty banter, undeniable chemistry, and more. Definitely recommended!

Wyatt and Harley grew up in different worlds but they were so perfect for each other. She comes from a rich family and his father worked for them as a mechanic. Wyatt didn't like the rich kids and he figured Harley was just like them until he got to know her. This is a quick read filled with family drama, misunderstandings, and a great ending.
