Julio (Rat)
I'm not sure if Julio is going to be in anymore books, but I thought he was so cute as Teagan's next door neighbor when she was living at the "Crack Hotel" A 16 year old who has a major crush on Teagan and is there to help her the best he can assimilate to slum town.
Perry (Asscar Driver)
Perry is only mentioned at the beginning of the story as someone who Teagan hooked up at a party once and can't shake this pain in the ass. He got his nickname from a dare to put a matchbox car up his ass. Teagan and Quin gave him this nickname.
Wrap-Up
This my friends is a breath of fresh air story!! It has been a long time since I have laughed so hard, sometimes I was reminded of Tara Sivec and her books.
This is definitely a book I would recommend to read for a good love and laugh story!
When Teagan's father suddenly dies she goes from having everything to being homeless, jobless, and broke. That is until she walks into an auto shop called Rebel Wheels. Teagan is willing to do anything to get a job but Rebel is quiet and ignores her. That is until he see's her at a club he is moonlighting at as a bouncer and steals her ID claming it's a fake so he can guarantee himself another visit from Teagan at the shop. Rebel Wheels was not the first job Teagan tried to get and it was hilarious to see a CEO's daughter who has designer clothes and luggage try to get a job from the ghetto side of town.
I laughed so much while reading this. Teagan was funny but sometimes it was overdone and annoying. I'm sure in a real situation no one would act like she does and it made for some extremely awkward conversations with Rebel.
I loved Teagan and her best friend Quin's relationship. They were really entertaining together.
I couldn't figure out if Teagan was just so sarcastic she was funny or really stupid. I also enjoyed Rebel's brothers Colin and Mick. The way they reacted to Teagan made for a lot of laughs.
Rebel was not a man of many words but when he spoke he said things worth saying. I would have liked more depth to he and Teagan's relationship and to the whole storyline for that matter but Rebel was a likable hero. I could have read about Teagan and Rebel's bickering all day and not gotten tired of it.
"You want me to talk more?"
"Deeeeerg!.... Yes!"
"I'll donate ten percent of every paycheck to the Rebel Learns to Share fund if that's what it'll take."
I am not a big fan of rereading a story from the guys pov. I like books with dual pov so I can gauge what both characters are feeling. This would have been useful with Rebel since he was such a quiet guy. Since that didn't happen I would love Elle Casey to write another book about Teagan and Rebel from Rebel's pov. Like I said normally I don't like that because rereading the same story isn't something I enjoy but in this case I would make an exception.
I think this book needed to be a little bit longer. The story lacked depth and there were many unanswered questions. I know those will be answered in the upcoming installments of the series but they are going to be Colin and Mick's stories and most of the questions I have are concerning Teagan's situation so that seems a little awkward to me.
I will definitely be picking up the next two books in this series as soon as they are released. Elle Casey has me hooked and I can't wait to find out what happens to Teagan and to see Rebel's brothers find love.
