GRR Reviews Drive Me Wild by Julie Kriss

Luke is one of the Riggs brothers... no mother, wrong side of the tracks, father always up to no good, total outlaws. Father at least operates an auto repair shop, and all four brothers (and half-brothers) learned to work on cars. Luke basically drove away from it all after high school. The was only one thing he regret... leaving Emily behind. But it's expected. Emily is a cop's daughter, and going to college. They had a secret affair during that final year of high school. And it was good, but she went on to bigger and better things. // Eight years later, both are back in town. She's back to attend her mother's promotion to Sergeant, and he's called back by his father to run the auto shop... His father is in prison, and she just found her sister's marriage is disintegrating fast. To escape from it all, they meet again, and they hooked up again. But he knew he couldn't deserve her, because his father is really running a chop shop. But he has a plan...

While the threat is real enough, the ending feels a bit too... deus ex machina ("trust me, I have a plan") still, the plotting is pretty good.
