Blue Collar Bensons, Book 1

De: Lilly Atlas

Narrado por: Kai Kennicott, Wen Ross

Conceited. Harlot. Easy. Addict.

A-list Hollywood actress, Scarlett, has been called every name in the book. Most she’s earned with her attention-seeking antics, high-maintenance personality, and bed-hopping. But even the most glamorous and sought-after actress can have a vulnerable center hidden beneath the glittery exterior. Years in the spotlight have battered Scarlett into a woman she no longer recognizes. Hitting rock bottom in a humiliating public display finally wakes her up to the disaster her life has become. It’s time for Scarlett to hang up her stage name, move somewhere no one will find her, and start over as plain old Michaela Hudson.

If there’s one thing mechanic Keith Benson hates, it’s a rich woman who thinks the world should bow at her feet. Someone like that hot mess of an actress Scarlett who can’t take a breath without wanting her adoring fans to shower her with love. Pretentious women make him sick. But he finds a doozy when he comes to the rescue of a stranded motorist. Within five seconds, the gorgeous Michaela rubs him the wrong way. He wants no part of her, no matter how his body responds. Unfortunately, she moves onto his block and quickly befriends his siblings. He has enough problems, including an abusive father bent on screwing up Keith’s life. The last thing he needs is an uppity neighbor he hates but can’t get off his mind.

While settling into her new life is smoother than Michaela feared, it’s not all sunshine and smiles. She’s always worried someone will discover her true identity, and she can’t stop thinking about the grouchy neighbor she angered after long her first night in town. While she hopes to remain anonymous for as long as possible, she can’t avoid Keith forever. With a little work, they develop a tentative friendship, which turns complicated once they give into the scorching heat between them.

As they cautiously grow closer, Keith’s problems bleed into Michaela’s issues, wreaking havoc on an already tenuous connection. Is there any chance for the disgraced Hollywood star and the man who loathes her?

Bensons

Enjoyed the story. Enough twists to keep me entertained. Great, steamy sex. Struggles many of us deal with or have family members/ friends trying to deal with daily.
Loved the family dynamics

Great Book-

Lots of angst and frustration in this Enemies to lovers tale. Really loved the family & friend characters. even more than the main H & h. Fresh to like them more as the book went on. Really looking forward to JP's. book releasing this week! Good narration jobs, duet, I believe it's called! ❤

Loathe

I have read several of Lilly's books, but I absolutely loved this one. Keith is the guy you want to dislike but you can't help it. Mickey has been through so much!

Redefining your life

Mickaela was once a sought after actress, until her life spun out of control and she almost lost her life. Now she’s in a small Vermont town trying to rebuild. Her neighbors across the street are a good bunch of siblings…except for the ornery oldest brother…with whom Mickie just has insane chemistry. Good story showing how both main characters grow from untrusting people to opening up to let in love. Looking forward to the next book.
