Liam Davis is a man without a past. That’s what he wants everyone to believe, anyway. Hell-bent on erasing any memories of his previous life, he knows that starting over is all he can do. Hiding who he is, where he’s from, why he’s running, and especially who he’s left behind, Liam has run away from everything he’s ever known. His plan works perfectly until one day when Parker Ryan threatens to expose his carefully concealed world.
Parker Ryan is a man without a future. Sure, he’s a partner in one of New York’s most prestigious law firms, but he’ll never be more than a failure in the eyes of his boss, his father. Rather than break away from his father’s standards, he finds himself mindlessly pursuing them, in turn sacrificing anything that would actually make him happy.
When Liam’s and Parker’s lives collide, the ugly truth about who they really are, and who they hope to become reveals itself when they least expect it. As both of their lives become wrecked beyond all belief, they’ll learn how to rely on each other in their journey to become Repaired.
Excerpt:
The
loud bang on the garage doors scared the shit out of, making me jump
out of my skin. “Shit,” I yelled after hitting my head on the bumper.
Despite calling out, “One second,” the banging continued. More than a
little dizzy, my anger mounted as I walked toward the door. “Chill the
fuck out,” I muttered as I wiped my hands on a work rag. The row of
windows stretching through the mid-line of the door was tinted so that
only someone on the inside could see out. They were designed that way so
anyone peering into the shop wouldn’t be able to see what kind of cars
were parked inside—a security tip I offered to Paulie after I’d started
working here.
The
man standing on the other side must not have heard me because he
continued his relentless banging. At this rate, I’d be surprised if his
knuckles weren’t all bloody and cut up.
Knowing
he couldn’t see me did nothing to stop me from staying to the side. My
initial intention was simply to check out who the hell was trying to
break down my door. The last thing I needed was some psychopath ruining
my night, but as I peered out the window, the last thought running
through my mind was that he was a psycho.
Dressed
in a modern grey suit, he was the epitome of class. The baby blue shirt
underneath made his eyes pop, of course the anger simmering there
amplified them as well. Pinching the bridge of his nose, he looked like
he was trying to ward off some massive headache. Either he really was a
psychopath, playing his part of the deception perfectly, or he was in a
bind and genuinely in need of help. Watching him run his fingers through
his thick dark brown hair, he let out a deep huff of breath. The door
muffled his words, but I swear I heard him say, “Just my fucking luck.”
Having
uttered that phrase more than a few times in my own life, I decided I’d
let him in and see what he needed. The fact that my dick was twitching
in my pants at the mere sight of him didn’t hurt his case much either.
He
stood at attention as he listened to me unclicking the locks. The doors
rolled open revealing his long, lean frame. This guy was money. It was
written all over him, from his shirt to his shoes, from his shiny
cufflinks to the BMW key dangling from his finger.
“Can
I help you?” My voice was gruff, and I hoped he thought it was from his
less than polite request to be seen, rather than the reaction I was
having to him.
He
eyed me, scanning my body from head to toe. Annoyance was written all
over his face and my attraction quickly morphed into annoyance. “Excuse
me,” I prompted when he still hadn’t spoken a single word. “You knocked
on my door. Is there something I can help you with?”
“Uh,
yeah,” he answered, running his hands through his hair once again. “Hit
a pothole down the road,” he explained somewhat distractedly. He
pointed in the direction in which I assumed his damaged car sat.
“Let me grab the keys to the tow truck.” Walking away from him, I felt his stare on my back.
By
the time I walked back out of the office, he was gone. “What the hell?”
I mumbled to myself, wondering where the hell he’d gone. For a split
second, I actually wondered if I’d conjured him up from thin air to keep
myself occupied as I closed the shop by myself. But the smell of his
cologne still hung in the air, his heat like a shadow lingering in the
open space.

Repaired
ended up being a story I hadn’t quite expected. It was much more! I hadn’t yet
read anything from this author, so I had no idea what I was in for. I have to
be honest, at the start of this story, I wasn’t so sure I would enjoy it as
much as I did. But it didn’t take too long to realize that this was going to keep
me intrigued until the very end.
Parker and
Liam are true examples that opposites can attract. Parker is all business,
while Liam is blue collar. A flat tire sets in motion a deep, caring, and
supportive relationship that neither one of them were expecting.
This book
comes with great writing, an interesting storyline, and wonderful characters. You'll enjoy heartfelt moments, steamy scenes and just enough twists and turns
that will keep you entertained in their journey.
I recommend
this to readers that like an M/M romance with an even blend of steam and emotion.
About the Author:
Melissa Collins
Melissa Collins has always been a book worm. Studying Literature in college ensured that her nose was always stuck in a book. She followed her passion for reading to the most logical career choice: English teacher. Her hope was to share her passion for reading and the escapism of books to her students. Having spent more than a decade in front of a classroom, she can easily say that it’s been a dream.
Her passion for writing didn’t start until more recently. When she was home on maternity leave in early 2012, she read her first romance novel and her head filled with the passion, angst and laughter of the characters who she read about it. It wasn’t long before characters of her own took shape in her mind. Their lives took over Melissa’s brain and The Love Series was born.
