Release Date: 15 September 2020

Alden is not only home to the gorgeous Bowen brothers, but also to the OGs, three hilarious octogenarian grandmas who believe age is nothing but a number. After their success helping one grandchild find love, they’ve decided to move on to the next. Nothing will stop them. Not even jail…

Rachel’s upbringing was rough, but at 34, she loves the life she’s built for herself. She adores her grandmother, Alden, and her job as a mechanic. Now, if her grandma and her friends would just stop getting into trouble, everything would be perfect. She’s doing her best to keep them on the straight and narrow, but she spends more time arguing with the sheriff than working in her garage. Case in point the OGs’ latest stunt, which got all of them, Rachel included, sentenced to community service. So now she has to keep an eye on the crazy grannies and on the street teenage thugs she’s been court-ordered to teach mechanics to.
And all thanks to the sheriff and that huge, unbendable stick up his ass.

Adrian Skehan, a top-notch detective in Boston, enjoyed putting dangerous criminals and drug kingpins behind bars. He loved his fast-paced, glamorous city life, but after his estranged grandfather had a major stroke, he moved to Alden, became the sheriff and now he spends his days chasing after senior citizens and dealing with the OGs –the bane of his existence— and Rachel, their obnoxious defender.
Terrific career move, really. Way to screw up his life. And his mental wellbeing.

As if life wasn’t hard enough, now the OGs have decided to work on their bucket list… meaning the granddaughter and the sheriff must join forces to survive the mayhem.
He likes his women… ivory-tower delicate. Not loud, highly opinionated and smelling of gasoline.
She likes her men… easy-going. Not arrogant know-it-alls and sticklers for rules.
Keeping these two together is a recipe for disaster. Too bad the OGs don’t see it that way.


My Review  5 STARS

**Copy Provided by Netgalley and Kensington Books for an honest review**

It's been a while since we have been able to get our hands on a book by this author and the wait was certainly worth it.

Rachel is another grandchild of the OG's and she is also a car mechanic. A regular person also fighting for the OG's as the get themselves into trouble with the local sheriff and most likely to shout at him and protect them even if she knows what they have done is wrong.

However after shouting at the sheriff ends up getting her community service with the three old ladies in which she has to take charge of three teenagers who are currently heading in the wrong direction and by challenging them with the mechanics of putting cars together and not stripping them.

Adrian is the local sheriff and has a past as a drugs narcotic detective half an hour away in Boston where he met these thugs and Rachel also spent time she would rather forget. It is with the introduction of the teenagers and having to spend time together that they both find that they are not as bad as they first thought.
I loved watching these two fall for each other and find happiness and in themselves, putting the past behind them yet also lifting the lid on it.

As another grandchild arrives on the scene i cannot wait ti see how the quiet man gets his happy ever after with one of the OG's late friends granddaughter.
