Publisher Description

From USA Today best-selling author Emily McIntire comes the third interconnected stand-alone in the Sugarlake series.

Jackson Rhoades has a perfect smile and a broken heart. When he gets offered his dream job in Hollywood, he packs up his shattered pieces and leaves Sugarlake for good.

He thought he was hired to restore classic cars, but instead his new boss tasks Jackson with keeping an eye on his unruly 19-year-old daughter.

Jackson agrees reluctantly, not realizing doing so will change his life forever.

Blakely Donahue is one of the biggest influencers in North America. She’s followed by millions but has never felt more alone. Obsessed with counting calories and drowning under the pressure of perfection, she’s barely holding herself together. When her father’s new employee starts hanging around, Blakely can’t help but feel a pull.

Jackson is nine years older and entirely off-limits, but he’s the first person to look beyond the surface and see Blakely for who she truly is. Before either of them can stop it, they’re crossing boundaries and breaking all the rules.

They know better than to get too close, but for some reason, neither can stay away.

Even if it means destruction for them both.

Beneath the Hood is the third interconnected stand-alone in the Sugarlake series. It contains mature and graphic content. Listener discretion is advised. Full list of TW can be found on the author's website.

Beneath the Hood is book #3 in the Sugarlake Series

This was an emotional age-gap/forbidden romance between Jackson Rhodes and Blakely.

Jackson Rhodes is a 28-year-old transplant to CA from Sugarlake, TN - needing the space from his small town and from being friend-zoned by his best friend. He is working hard to deliver on his Dad's dream of working on cars. Blakely is the 18-year-old daughter of his boss, and she has lived a life of wealth. Working as an influencer, her life is not her own and she is living a lonely life even with being surrounded by people who work for her and her family, etc. Blakely did take me a moment to really appreciate in the story, but I did love her character and the challenges she faced, the growth she made, and how she owned her mistakes. Jackson was very likable from the beginning and I loved how guarded he was but then fell hard for the one forbidden girl.

A great addition to this series and the narrators were excellent at bringing the characters to life and connecting listeners to their story!
