The premise of this book is really fun, especially considering some of it is true (Amy says the writing in a mechanic’s shop part but not the steamy parts 🤣)! Miles was a great book boyfriend & I enjoyed how Kate talked him through the process of writing a book as the book was progressing.
I’m looking forward to reading about the other side characters!
Things that I enjoyed:
- The camping trip
- Kate trying to “keep things casual”
- the adult conversation between Kate & Dean
- Miles’s garage & future plans with Sam
- the flow of the book was fun & the intentionality of how their relationship progressed as Kate explained different devices to Miles
Things I didn’t love:
- Drysten (the name, the character, his mere existence)
- it felt like the drama was constantly part of the story, and then extended the book a chapter or two too long
- I wish Miles had realized he had legitimate feelings for her in at least one scene before the grand gesture
- Kate felt a little too desperate for his love, showing him how much she cared constantly while Miles was mainly jealous & keeping her arms length (mixed signals anyone?)
3/5 🌶️
small town, FWB, sexy "research" for a book, secret identity
Book 1 standalone in series
Kate is a small town erotica author writing under the name Mercedes Lee Loveletter. After a stint of writers block, she finds some inspiration after seeing one hot twizzler weilding mechanic after setting up office in the waiting room of a tire shop. Pretty soon, it's not the delicious baked goods and coffee that keeps her coming back. Eventually they can't deny the chemistry and strike up a FWB deal for "research purposes" for her new novel. Unfortunately, Kate conceals her identity so Miles only knows her as Mercedes. Ruh Roh...
I actually accidentally read Dean's book (#4) first, so I had to come back and check out Kate's story to see the origins of Dean's crush on her. I am usually really picky when it comes to FMCs, but I adore Kate. I found her to be so likeable, funny, seemed like someone that would be a good friend. Miles was super swoony, definitely good book boyfriend material so I totally understand what Kate picked up on when she got with him. There are some really great funny moments, and Amy writes some good spice. Really excited to check out the rest of the series with the rest of the friend group.
The story between Kate and Miles was funny and delicious. I like stories when authors write their characters being writers, just makes it more fun. Their chemistry just jumped off the pages just like their banter. The story kept me glued to the book until I got to the last page.
Great story, now I have to make my way through this authors other books.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
Kate is a writer who writes smut; according to her, she uses a pen name. Lately, she has been finding inspiration and a cure for writer's block at The Tire Depot. She is funny, a little crazy maybe, but also full of personality. I love her pov as it is easy to read.
The author even manages to use terminology I need to familiarize myself with. Miles is a mechanic at The Tire Depot who happens to notice a certain red-headed lady as they collide in a happenstance that is comical. He has a history of being the savior to damsels in distress. His pov is interesting as he hyper-focuses on her body parts. His meet cute encounters with Kate at least have some awesome banter.
One thing leads to another, and we finally get a direction for these two characters. Oh, this story gets a little steamy and kinky. The agreement they come to, on an awkward morning after, sets us up for the rest of this book. Ok, their research is hot and steamy and well described in the book.
This book has its ups and down and a little drama, but it does end happily. The not-so-secret secrets will be what causes the drama in this causal but not-so-casual friends-with-benefits story. I may see camping trips differently after this book; wow and steamy.
I like the character in this story; they are authentic, albeit on the sizzling side of the romance trope with steamy scenes in this book. The book has a sweet friend with benefits and meet cute story with lovable characters and true-to-life issues. Both characters are between new adults and midlife. Extra perks for the book being about an author writing romance stories. The camping scenes were my favorite; after that, I started scanning thru the intimate scenes as they were numerous. I like how the author ended the book; it was very true to the characters and storyline.
I look forward to seeing this portrayed on film.

Um obra que fez rir e me emocionar com um casal de protagonistas charmoso e muitos momentos memoráveis.
O livro parte de uma trama bastante engraçada e original: autora de romances apimentados recupera a criatividade perdida quando começa a frequentar um oficina mecânica.
Apesar do apelo comédia Wait With Me vai além e traz um romance bem amarrado em que o conflito, bem equilibrado embora previsível, não exagera no drama mas proporciona o sempre esperado reencontro e o “felizes para sempre”.
É um livro que distrai sem irritar e traz um casal de protagonistas que parece gente de verdade, com vidas como as nossas.
Diversão e empatia no mesmo pacote.
This title couldn't fit this book any more perfectly if she tried.
The back and forth, the give and take, the build up and the heart filled, emotional moments, all moved together in such a creative and engaging way.
I was invested from the start. I was curious to meet all the characters and side characters, and I was not disappointed.
Who would have thunk that I could be so engrossed in a "tire shop romance"?
The setting was perfect.
The love story was original.
The writing is funny and fresh and real, snort-laughing is a side effect of reading this book!
We get introduced to only a few characters just enough that we want to read about their own story.
I enjoyed the character of Kate and the self-reflextion of real life.
I did miss that we didn't get the bonus scene that was mentioned in the book. But hopefully some of the next books get a bit more racy.
Who in the world get’s to write a novel at a tire shop? Next thought: Why can’t this be happening to me??
So I dove into this funny, sexy (like, for real, wholy sh**), exciting story and Amy got herself another fan cause I will now seriously check out her other work.
Wait With Me is written in a way that seems so very real that makes you ache to be part of the story.
Kate/Mercedes and Miles are a match made in heaven and their journey is so book-worthy (quote-alert). I literally couldn’t put the book down and went through the motions while I crawled into the story.
I highly recommend this book which has everything you need to have the perfect escape from life for a few hours … days …
