Mechanics of Love

Written by Meka James

Narrated by Denim Striker and Alana Grace

It’s the person she least expected who provides a much-needed tune up of her life...

For Dr. Irene Johnson-Moore perception is everything. After living most of her life behind facades built from other people’s expectations, she’s ready for a change. At least that’s what she tells herself. But old habits die hard. And when her car breaks down, forcing her to deal with the town mechanic—a woman whose bluntness always irked Irene—her resolve is instantly put to the test.

Remi Martin prides herself on being unapologetically honest. Brutally so at times. No good ever came from pretending to be someone or something she’s not.

When she responds to a call from a stranded motorist, she never imagined she’d be towing the self-proclaimed “town princess” into her world. Irene Johnson embodies everything Remi tries to avoid, yet she can’t seem to shake her one-time adversary.

However, the more time they spend together, the more feelings begin to idle under the surface. But before their relationship can rev to life, they must release their preconceived notions or things could come to a screeching halt.

Reviews for Mechanics of Love

[Tamara Pritchard · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is a good slow burn book! Would listen again.

[LaToya Rhodes · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The storyline is okay, but the narration made it almost unbearable. The narrator that plays Irene left a lot to be desired and seemingly lacks the ability to emote or at least match her tone to the emotions being felt by the characaters. However, maybe she was attempting to match her tone to Irene, who comes across as annoying, spoiled, and self-centered for most of the story.

This is my first audiobook by this author. I was completely smitten by the characters and the narration. I look forward to enjoying the rest of this author's works. I love a good slow burn.

[Mesha Taylor · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Read this book before the audio was available and loved it. I was very excited about listening to it, but the narrators nearly ruined it for me. This is SUCH a great story, but they picked 2 either really bad, or really un-experienced narrators to read it. And the intimate scenes... ??‍♀️
I gave the book 5 stars when I read it, but due to the poor narration I could only give 3.5 here (rounded up to 4 obviously). I suggest just reading this one.
