From the #1 New York Times Bestselling author of FULL PACKAGE and BIG ROCK, comes a hot & hilarious new standalone romantic comedy...
Let's be honest, ladies. A good man is a lot like the perfect car. You want a hot body, an engine that purrs, and superior performance under the hood...for the best joy ride of your life. I'm at your service. Ready to go all night long.
But then a wildly sexy brunette appears in my life and throws a wrench in all my plans. She's fiery, she's talented, she's gorgeous, and I'd really like to know what makes her engine hum.
Henley also happens to be my biggest rival, and now we're forced to work together every day on the most important custom car build of my career. The trouble is I can't quite figure out if she wants to kick me in the lug nuts or beg me to give her a good, hard fuel injection. Until one night that question is answered on the hood of a sports car when she calls out my name three times. And we can't seem to put on the brakes. If sleeping with the enemy is a bad idea, how much more dangerous would it be to fall in love with her?
You can find this sexy standalone romantic comedy available across all retailers now!

EXCERPT
I point to the guy
behind the glass. “You want Peter’s number?”
“I don’t know. Do you
think he likes piňa coladas and making love in the rain?”
For a flash second, a
burst of wildfire curls through my veins. It feels like white-hot jealousy.
Which is ridiculous since she’s not making
love to Peter.
Or me, for that
matter, obviously.
I fight off the envy
with a full dose of sarcasm. “Have you ever noticed you never have a good pair
of headphones when you need them?”
She huffs. “Message
received. I’ll just shut up and read a book.” She reaches for her phone on the
seat, but accidentally knocks it to the floor of the car. I lean down to pick
it up, and when I hand it to her I see her playlist.
Nena’s “99
Luftballoons.”
The Go-Go’s “Vacation.”
Madonna’s “Like a
Virgin.”
I smirk. That’s too
fucking adorable. “You like bubblegum pop?”
Her cheeks go red.
“There’s nothing wrong with bubblegum pop,” she says as she tries to grab her
phone from my hand.
I. Can’t. Resist.
I don’t know what
comes over me, but I’m pretty damn sure it’s the way this girl needles me. It’s
her French maid routine. It’s her pushing all my buttons. It’s the way she
detests me.
I hold her phone
behind my head.
“Max,” she says, in a
perfect plea. God, it’s hot. I can hear her saying it in bed.
I feign surprise. “Oh,
did you want your phone back, tiger?”
Her eyes widen when I
use that word. Frankly, I’m surprised I said it. But she is a tiger, especially
right now as she leans across the seat, reaching for it.
Damn, I’m an asshole.
And yet, I can’t seem to stop playing keep-away with her phone, jamming it far
behind me so that it hits the side of the car. She lunges for it, thrusting her
arm out, but only hitting my forearm.
She swats me. “Give it
to me.”
My brain
short-circuits. She would sound hot saying that bent over the bed.
Then in a flurry, she
unbuckles her seat belt and lunges at me.
Foul play indeed.
She’s on me. She’s
fucking on me. She climbs, stretching high, her tits near my motherfucking
face, so help me God. They are saggy, drooping, ugly breasts.
Except they’re not.
They’re perfect. Lush,
ripe.
Like her sweet perfume
scent. Like her cinnamon breath that flutters across my cheek as she rises
higher. As she reaches, her T-shirt rides up, revealing a sliver of her
stomach.
I’ve never seen
anything so sexy in my life.
I don’t move. I don’t
breathe.
I simply try not to
grow more aroused. But then she wraps one hand around my wrist and pries the
phone with the other as her breasts smash against my eyes.
Man down.
“If I was going to place a bet on an author to consistently deliver a FANTASTIC romance time and time again, I would put all my money on Lauren Blakely. She always writes amazing comedic romances—they are sexy, entertaining and always original. Consider me a fangirl.”
~Mary, Harlequin Junkie
"At some points during my read, I would have to remind myself to breathe. I was so utterly consumed with what I was reading, with the compelling chemistry between Henley and Max . . . The S. E. X. Was. Soooooo HOTT. I'd argue it was Blakely's best writing by far."
~Jess at joandisalovebooks
"The dynamic between Max and Henley is addictive, and the story line in Joy Ride was down right juicy! I can't wait for you to read it."
~Angie, Angie & Jessica's Dreamy Reads
