I wanted to give this book and honest try despite the reviews, but it was just so cheesy! The first encounter between the main characters was great! Beginning of the book was intriguing and caught my attention. But then it fell apart. The dirty talk was laughable between the hero who falls in love in one day and the heroine who’s a naive virgin who’s on the run from her step-father.

Their relationship was quick. Everything between them moved at lightning speed. Within days, there was talks of making babies. I couldn’t take any of this story seriously, despite the underlying solemnity of some of the content.

This was a good read. The first couple of chapters, I felt like I missed something. Oh well, I powered through. I'm glad, I did, overall a good book

WRECKED was a quick and easy read and I enjoyed both Rogan and Layna even if their story is a bit out there. Rogan was protective, growly, and completely devoted to Layna once he realized the trouble she's in. He's also completely stumped by his feelings for a woman he's just met and I loved watching Rogan fall. Layna is also really enjoyable and a perfect match for Rogan. She's had a hard life since her father died and it's forced her to flee home with no plans or resources. Both Rogan and Layna fall for each other quickly but they're sweet together.


Content Warning: Layna's stepfather was abusive and sold her virginity to a associate but she runs before anything can happen

Brill Harper is definitely my go-to for instalove novellas. 

FMC on the run + reclusive mechanic MMC + “who did this to you??” + steamy sweetness? 

Um, yes please.

All the feels!

Over the top and warm and fuzzy. This is a really enjoyable, quick book.
Rogan and Layna have the sweetest story so far in this series. All the feels with this one!
I’m looking forward to reading the whole series.

Oh, man, this book. I've been a romance reader for the majority of my life. I cut my teeth on Nora Roberts before I was even a teenager. So it takes a lot for me to laugh at a romance, especially if it's not a romantic comedy or isn't even trying to be funny.

This book, however, had me laughing in second-hand embarrassment and disbelief. Look, I know this wasn't going to be an epic romance. I was looking for something that was dirty and quick. Wrecked met that criteria, but, this book is so over-the-top ridiculous that I can't help laughing out loud. Suspend disbelief on this one, readers.

The biggest issue I had with this book (other than it's ridiculousness) was the insta-love. Ugh, insta-love. I hate it. I get that this book was short so things had to happen quickly, but there's seriously zero run up to the hero deciding he's in love. Speaking of the hero … I really like how the author crafted Rogan. I wish this book was longer so we could get a fully fleshed version of this story.

This book is like when you're sort of hungry and are scouting your shelves for a snack. Suddenly you remember you have that giant bag of Doritos you bought last week and grab for it with a triumphant grin. You settle on the couch with your Doritos, turn on the TV, and mindlessly start munching away until, you realize, the bag is completely empty. You feel a little guilty for gorging on the chips because you know they aren't good for you (especially an entire bag in one sitting), but you also sort of don't regret it. That's what this book was for me. Gorging on something that is not the greatest, and, yet … yep, still no regrets.
