Publisher Description
My life revolves around just one thing: my daughter. I don't have the time or energy for anything else—not my foolish dream of an acting career and definitely not the annoying woman who opened a gym in the warehouse behind my garage.
Piper's a menace to society, between her loud music, hurling weights around like a shot putter, and her building that is definitely not up to code.
Unfortunately, my kid thinks she's the best thing since unlimited screen-time. It's getting harder to avoid Piper when my daughter keeps going over there to ask about hair braids and sports teams.
Maybe I took things too far when I called the building inspector on Piper, but she can't keep bringing clients into that fire hazard of a gym. And I can't have her behind my house all the time, clad in spandex and making me think about things I have no business wishing for.
I'm done with relationships. Whatever I feel for Piper is passing. If I drive her away, I can get back to raising my daughter in peace. Anything else is just a pipe dream…
Speed Rail is a smoldering single-dad romance, the third stand-alone installment of the Bridges and Bitters series. If you love found family, hilarious antics and off-the-charts heat, you'll devour these sexy romantic comedies.

Just Perfect!
Hilarious, cheeky, steamy and all the great things in life that we all deal with!
Yet one more brilliant Lainey Davis book - loved it!!
Single dad widower, becoming a voice-over actor to cover the extra bills his family electrician company doesn’t pay? Awesome trope compilation right there - but throw in grumpy/sunshine and neighbors? Yes, please - sign me up now!
Lainey Davis is a definite favourite, one-click author for me (especially her audiobooks), but whoa! This has to by far be my favourite of her books, and I totally love every single one I’ve read… so that’s definitely saying a lot! I cannot wait to come back and read this one again when the audio releases, or maybe I won’t even wait until then. It’s truly that great!
Cash is a single dad to 6 year old Ruby. He was a very young dad, and Ruby’s mom was lost to terrible circumstances in childbirth… he’s raised the adorable but precocious child on his own from day 1. He’s an electrician with his dad’s company, but in his spare time (aka 5am) he does voiceover work. One day, there’s suddenly a huge racket of noise in the alleyway, which turns out to be Piper, who just opened a new gym - with classes starting at 5am - making a ton of noise, pumping music, dropping weights and banging pipes, meaning no more quiet to do his extra work.
After a rivalry which includes calling the city inspector and shutting her gym down, Piper actually befriends little Ruby, helps Cash out in his time of childcare needs… and so they form a bit of a grumpy sunshine, rival neighbor vibe, helping each other in some ways, and she helps him get another voice work narrating gig, while watching Ruby and not teaching noisy classes at the time…
Reading the entire progression from enemies to friends to more was so much with this book - I loved every minute! Lainey Davis is such a brilliant author and I highly recommend everyone checks her out, especially the Bridges and Bitters series, but most importantly, Speed Rail!!
I received an advance review copy from the author, and this is my honest review.
