Review: Drake

Drake by Harper Bentley
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3.5 stars from me!

This was a new Author for me, and I definitely like her style. I would be more than happy to read her other books. In this story we have Drake, and Honor. Honor has had a rough upbringing and lives with her older brother and she works and goes to college. She drives a POS truck that likes to break down, and that is how she meets Drake. He's a mechanic, and owns the shop with his dad.
I liked the story overall, but I think the author tried too hard to think up a conflict for these two. Drake is a complete asshole, and Honor is just a hot whiny mess. Once they get over their initial conflict and start liking each other the characters even themselves out. Like I said the author tried too hard to create conflict, and it was an over reach. I didn't hate this book by any means, and I don't like giving reviews that are not stellar, but I do believe in being honest.
The story is told first person by Honor, until the end then it is Drake. I think this story would have gone farther had it been told in alternating views, just because most of the conflict comes from Drake, so getting to see inside his head would have been a better bet for this story.

Drake Powers had to be the most infuriating piece of work I’d met in my entire life. Never mind his gorgeous face, body, and tattoos. That was beside the point. The things that came out of the cocky bastard’s mouth—directed toward me, of course—had my own mouth falling open in shock.

His controlling, bad-boy demeanor should’ve had me running in the other direction.
But there was something behind that dominant presence of his.

Something guarded.

And I had to find out what it was.

I knew it was probably in my best interest to stay away.

But when was I ever one to listen?
