Thi,
Another great book to add to my collection of Melanie’s book。 Stefano could give Maxx a run for his money for the best book boyfriend/husband。 He just had so much charm。

Stefano is speedy to love and a super sexy alpha heroBreaking The Speed Limit (Reynold’s Restorations Book 2) by Melanie Moreland is a wonderful romance with yet another steamy, dreamy, sigh worthy alpha protector hero。 Stefano doesn’t see to understand speed limits when it comes to Gabby。 He is all steam ahead, no holds barred and supremely confident in his heart’s choice。 Gabby on the other hand is opposite in many ways。 She absolutely matches in chemistry, she can’t keep her hands off Stefano Stefano is speedy to love and a super sexy alpha heroBreaking The Speed Limit (Reynold’s Restorations Book 2) by Melanie Moreland is a wonderful romance with yet another steamy, dreamy, sigh worthy alpha protector hero。 Stefano doesn’t see to understand speed limits when it comes to Gabby。 He is all steam ahead, no holds barred and supremely confident in his heart’s choice。 Gabby on the other hand is opposite in many ways。 She absolutely matches in chemistry, she can’t keep her hands off Stefano as much as he can’t resist her! But there is much more to Gabby than single mom worries。 I absolutely loved that Maxx and Charly are prominent characters in this romance。 The other characters (namely Brett, Chase and Kelly) are very intriguing and made this reader ready for more of Reynold’s Restorations。 And I cannot leave out Theo! What an adorable 5 year old! A perfect element for Stefano and Gabby’s love story。The plot is in some ways a bit of a nail biter。 Gabby doesn’t share her secrets easily and Stefano has to really work to earn her trust。 It’s touch and go until Gabby finds courage in the strength in the love of her man as well as friends and family。Overall, Breaking The Speed Limit is a fast track to love and HEA with a few detours, bumps and breaking (slowing down and heartbreak)。 Stefano perseveres and doesn’t give up while Gabby stands tough and accepts that she can have what she wants with Stefano at her and Theo’s side。I read an ARC of this book via Valentine Promotions and am voluntarily sharing my review。 。。。more
Jenny,
nowhere near as good as the first book I absolutely loved the first book in this series and I was so excited to read this one。 But I found Gabby to be so unlikable and it pretty much ruined this book for me。 She was just bitchy and ungrateful and the polar opposite of Charly (the heroine in the first book) who was an absolute delight。 I get being guarded and all that, but she was just flat out rude。 The sad thing is the heroine in the next book (Kelly) seems to be even more unlikable, so I don’t nowhere near as good as the first book I absolutely loved the first book in this series and I was so excited to read this one。 But I found Gabby to be so unlikable and it pretty much ruined this book for me。 She was just bitchy and ungrateful and the polar opposite of Charly (the heroine in the first book) who was an absolute delight。 I get being guarded and all that, but she was just flat out rude。 The sad thing is the heroine in the next book (Kelly) seems to be even more unlikable, so I don’t think I will even read that one。 。。。more

It’s super sweet。 Another aspect of the book that I enjoyed was the element of suspense and tension that Gabby’s past brought to the book。 Things happen/threaten to happen during Stefano and Gabby’s story, and it really added that drama that made this book so enticing and hard to put down。 Throughout, the moments of suspense and danger electrified the story, and seeing how Stefano and Gabby navigated them really made their romance so much more。 A romance with so much chemistry and drama but with some comedy, too, Breaking the Speed Limit is not to be missed。 Stefano and Gabby’s story is a fantastic addition to the series, and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book。 。。。more

After reading Revved to the Max in the first Reynolds Restoration series I was intrigued by the sexy Italian man, Stefano。 One thing about Stefano I loved is how loving and patient he is when it comes to Gabby and her little boy。 All in all he is a family man even if it's just him he's ready for something more with her。 Seeing him with Gabby and how much his heart is all there was very endearing。 The attraction is all there from the start but it's more than just sex and passion for him。 Melanie After reading Revved to the Max in the first Reynolds Restoration series I was intrigued by the sexy Italian man, Stefano。 One thing about Stefano I loved is how loving and patient he is when it comes to Gabby and her little boy。 All in all he is a family man even if it's just him he's ready for something more with her。 Seeing him with Gabby and how much his heart is all there was very endearing。 The attraction is all there from the start but it's more than just sex and passion for him。 Melanie Moreland brings us a woman in hiding afraid and scared yet with the right man everything changes in a heartbreak。 Their love may seem fast but there is no limit in how fast their love can go and more。 Loved it。"I received an eBook copy from the publisher for the purpose of an honest review。 I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own。" 。。。more

He is swoony and speaks words of affection in Italian! Yes please! Stefano works as a mechanic at Maxx's garage (Maxx's story, Revved to the Maxx is Book #1 in the Reynolds Restorations series)。 He is sexy and living the single life but that life is getting old。 He loves his close friends and family but he sees what Maxx has with Charly and longs for a relationship like theirs。 When he happens upon a damsel in distress, he can't resist stopping to help。 He doesn't expect the beautiful, snappy, sassy stubborn woman, Gabby, with curves and legs for miles, who tries to refuse his help。 Her sass turns him on but she wants no part of it。 Stefano is not one to be deterred though。 Gabby is inspirational。 She's been through so much and she's a single mom to an adorable 5 year old named Theo。 Theo stole my heart! He was too smart for his own good。 She works two jobs to make ends meet。 Due to previous bad relationship experiences, she doesn't trust easily; so when the sexy man stops to help her on the side of the road, she knows she has to resist。 There's more on the line than just her heart and she's not willing to take that risk。 But can she keep resisting when Stefano is doing everything in his power to break down his walls? Did I mention he's amazing with her son as well as her?This was a quick insta-love romance but it definitely wasn't an easy road to their HEA。 It did have funny moments to lighten the more serious, emotional moments。 There is also a little danger thrown in there so we get a little bit of everything! The passion between Stefano and Gabby sizzles white-hot。 I loved the H and h as well as the supporting characters so much! There's nothing like the guys at Reynolds Restoration。 They're all family even though it's not by blood。 Stefano was amazing! He was protective, kind, sweet, loving, and caring。 He knew Gabby and Theo were a package deal and welcomed them with open arms。 Gabby was so strong and brave。 She was protective of those she loved as well。 She'd been through hell and I was happy to see her heal from the heartbreak。 The plot is well-written and the story has great world building。 I felt like I was living the story with the characters。 I recommend reading this book。 。。。more

Talk about first impressions and how the characters first meet, it was sizzling! That’s what kept me reading, their banter and insane chemistry is what kept pulling them closer。 It only takes one interaction between them for Stefano to know exactly what he wants and will not stop until Gabby gives them a shot。 Whereas for Gabby, she feels the pull yet she is afraid of rushing into anything that could put them all at risk of her past。 She is able to lean on her new friends and Stefano’s family。 His mom is extremely kind and we get to find out more about her and Stefano’s dad。 Is being able to fully trust those around her that puts Gabby at ease and she lets herself be loved by Stefano。 It gives her the strength to confront her past at the end。 Stefano’s relationship with Theo was sweet and caring。 All in all, if you are looking for a second chance romance featuring a really overprotective, kind and swoon worthy Italian then I would highly recommend checking out the book。 :) ***I received an advanced copy from the publisher。 All opinions are my own。*** 。。。more
Cheryl,
So, I’m torn。 Did I love Stefano more than I adored young Theo? I’m not really sure! I mean, when I pick up a romance, I expect…or at least hope…to fall in love with the big, tatted, sweet and sexy mechanic。 After all, it’s why we read romance, right…to swoon over the main couple。But when faced with the adorable, swishable, brutally and hysterically honest five year old Theo…well, “Stefo” has some competition。 This kid kicked this book up to over five stars for me。 He’s so much more than window So, I’m torn。 Did I love Stefano more than I adored young Theo?

For those who have read book one in the series, you’ll be pleased to get a lot of Maxx and Charly (yay!!) But each book can be read as a stand-alone with no issues。 But this bunch of characters is so wonderful, you’ll want to read and every story they are in。 。。。more

This delightful romance offers up an ooey-gooey marshmallow heart and plenty of sultry heat。 I dare you to try not to swoon over Stefano。 In fact, I triple dog dare you! This man is a definite Gold Star Book Boyfriend Hall of Famer。 He'll have your temperature soaring with his dirty talk and steal your breath with his kind heart。 Gabby is just as easy to love, and she will for sure tug on your heartstrings。 The chemistry between these two sizzles and sparks and is bright enough to light up the w This delightful romance offers up an ooey-gooey marshmallow heart and plenty of sultry heat。 I dare you to try not to swoon over Stefano。 In fact, I triple dog dare you!

Crystal ,
Breaking the Speed Limit is book #2 in Reynolds Restorations。 It was an inst-love, with a tad bit of suspense, and lots of romantic moments。 I was quickly immersed into the story。 Stefano is so caring and protective, of his family and friends。 So the moment he ran into Gabby, she sparks his interest, with her attitude, and their mutual attraction。 I thought the secondary characters were great too! It was a wonderful story, with relatable characters。
