Happily Ever Alpha World
Until Ireland
The BOOM.
The heart-pounding, inexplicable sensation of falling in love. An emotional pull that can complete a man in one second and destroy him in the next. Mack Redman doesn’t believe in the phenomenon, until he meets a caustic tongued, hot-blooded woman, named Ireland Banks. She can turn him inside out with a single look, leaving him aching for more.
Bad days are par for the course when it comes to Ireland Banks. After finding out her ex-boyfriend had been fencing stolen cars, her world’s torn apart. Starting over in a new town isn’t easy, but Ireland doesn’t know the word quit. Now, as the co-owner of Banks Automotive, she prides herself on being above reproach.
When she meets Mack Redman, she knows he’s the one. Throwing caution to the wind, she gives in to the magnetic pull between them—until the moment she finds out, he just like her ex.
Mack isn’t willing to give up on Ireland, and he’ll prove his love for her is real. All she has to do is meet him halfway. But, when her past meets his future, the danger becomes palpable. Can Mack clear his name and take down an international car theft ring, or will he lose Ireland forever?

Mack's absolutely struck dumb the first time he lays eyes on a sassy redhead muttering to herself at the garage where he's brought a client's expensive car to be restored. Too bad he inserts his foot into his mouth and doesn't remove it until she sets him straight by noting he's now got two strikes against him. Will Ireland give him a chance to redeem himself? Or is the boom that's struck him destined to be one sided?
Ireland's been burned by overconfident alpha badboys before, so when an arrogant suit assumes her garage is run by her brothers, to say she's not too impressed by Mack is an understatement. Too bad her body isn't on the same page as her mind, because it's wanting her to say yes to his dinner proposal. And soon it's saying she wants much, much more than simply dinner from Mack. Should she allow herself to give into what they both want, or would it be best not to mix business with pleasure?
The boom is a well known world and Ireland and Mack deserve their place in it. Their story is witty and sexy, and it's always entertaining when alpha cockiness meets its match in sassy independence like Mack and Ireland.

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.
In this book we meet Ireland Banks and Mack Redman. Mack typically take all of the vintage cars to Gareth who we met in Until December. However he is just to busy to take a look at the new acquisition of the '65 Austin Martian DB5. So he goes with Gareth's suggestion and takes it to Banks automotive. He believes that he is going to meet a guy so when Ireland comes out he doesn't believe her. He does however know the moment his eyes land on this woman he knows he has met his boom. He just has to convince her to be with him forever. Ireland's had no problem saying no to men since she was burned pretty bad by her ex. The other problem she has with most guys is they don't really take her seriously as a mechanic. There is something about Mack though even though he sees her as something other than she is she still gives him another chance. What happens when she finds out his vintage car is really a car full of stolen parts? Will they get that Boom HEA or will it all blow up in their faces?
So So So Amazing. This story I started it and could not put it down until I read those 2 word "the end". These authors did an amazing job of drawing you into the story and have you not wanting to let it go. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

What an absolutely fabulous addition to the Happily Ever Alpha World.
Mack takes the term. "alpha tendencies", seriously. He is bossy and always in control. Until Ireland. There is something about her blunt sassiness and her unique beauty that challenges him. These two are beyond explosive together.
I was hooked on Ireland and Mack's story from the first chapter. Between the twists and turns and the intense passion, this book will have you constantly on the edge of your seat, eating up these words. I loved every moment. I couldn't get enough! Easily 5 stars!

I try to read every single Happily Ever Alpha World book that comes out. And lately they haven't met my expectations for what I feel is the essence of the BOOM. However, from the first page of this book I felt those ARR vibes and I loved every second of it. TL Reeve and Michele Ryan got everything right with the way they portray the BOOM. The true fundamental part of the alpha of a Happily Every Alpha World book. Mack and Ireland had that instant and intense moment from the second that their bodies were cognizant of each others. Which is exactly what I want and expect from a book that holds true to the Mayson family BOOM. Ireland is such a strong and independent person who has no qualms about putting jerks in their place when they think that she is incapable of being the amazing mechanic and boss that she is. Yes, she is reeling from some craptastic things in her not so distant past, but what dhe does in the end to correct them is nothing short of bada**. Mack, what can I say, the moment he lays eyes on Ireland he sticks his foot into his mouth and can't seem to stop. But he knows how much an idiot he is being but can't seem to stop. His BOOM has rendered him dumb, and he fully accepts and acknowledges that. His devotion to Ireland from the MOMENT that they meet is exactly what I want in a story set in this world.

I couldn’t put this book down. It had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Ireland and Mack’s story had me from the moment they felt the BOOM!
Mack knows the moments he sets his eyes on Ireland that she will be his no matter what. She turns his world upside down and leaves him aching for all that is Ireland Banks. Everything seems to be going so well until he finds out that the beautiful red head has been keeping secrets from him.
Ireland is head strong and stubborn. Having been burnt by her ex, she is skeptical about Mack Redman, the arrogantly gorgeous man, that brings her an amazing project car that could put her business on the map. Things take a turn for the worst when it seems that all these “accidents” that seem to be always happening around her are not exactly that.
This book is very well written and I didn’t want it to end.
I loved the chemistry between these two characters and loved how Mack’s Alpha side comes out when things get ugly.
Go grab your copy now. You will definitely not regret it.

Another good installment in the Happily Ever Alpha World. We have seen Mack, the owner of Flame, come up several times in a lot of the stories. Well, now its his turn to find his boom. When he takes a car to a garage that Gareth has referred him too, at first he is a bit unsettled at what he finds. When he walks in and sees Ireland, his breath is taken away and he ends up putting his foot in his mouth, big time! After he kinda fixes the problem he has created, he jumps in and makes a deal with Ireland and scores a date out of this. But can he convince a gun shy Ireland that he is worth taking a chance on?
This was a good story that gave us some nice drama, hot naughty bits, and a tad bit of mystery and danger. I did feel that there was a bit of filler in there, one part it felt like there was five pages just talking about her dress and her love of dresses. This is just IMO, others may not feel this way. I still did enjoy this story, and give this 4 stars.

Poor Mack, he doesn't believe in the Boom until he meets Ireland but it didn't go well at first. Ireland has had to start over in a new town after learning that her boyfriend (now ex of course) was doing some not so legal stuff with cars. Thankfully life is slowly getting better as she's co-owner in Banks Automotive when she comes face to face with Mack. He's brought a car into her shop, and totally blew it with foot in mouth disease that men tend to engage in LOL so she wasn't quite so impressed with him despite those sparks flying. There's definitely a connection between them & feelings are quickly being caught so they're spending time together & they're absolutely explosive together but how will it all pan out?! You know what to do to find out & experience Mack's BOOM! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

BOOM! That’s exactly what happens to Mack when he first sets eyes on Ireland. Then he opens his mouth and earns himself 2 strikes.
Ireland’s life is finally looking up. She owns a body shop with her brothers and knows her way around a car. When Mack strolls in needing work on his new purchase, Ireland is taken by the suave man. That is until he opens his mouth and earns 2 strikes.
I absolutely adored Ireland. I loved her sassiness and her style. Once Mack realizes Ireland is his, he holds nothing back in winning her over.

Boom, boom, boom, not sure if this the sound of my heart pounding or the chemistry igniting between Mack and Ireland. Their story had plenty of action, witty banter, passion, heat and drama. Until Ireland grabs you from the very first page and has you captivated by the characters and their story. The connection between these two is electric and enchanting. These authors draw you into the book and have you holding on for a sensual story that packs a punch.

This book had me on tenterhooks. But it was one of those books you love. I couldn't put book down once started.
I loved Ireland and Mack together, it was like lighting a match when they first meet. They both rubbed each other the wrong way. But they get over this hurdle and work together to stop the past getting in their way.
I highly recommend this book.

Boy, Mack makes some mistakes with Ireland in the beginning. Mack does make up for them! Ireland is strong and independent. These two have great chemistry. There’s a bit of drama and intrigue. Thoroughly enjoyed the story of these two. I absolutely loved the epilogue.

This was a sweet, funny and steamy story with another Boom to add to the list.
Mack and Ireland have a fiery first impression of each other but the chemistry is undeniable. They are fire together and I loved that there wasn't any back and forth or drama when it came to their relationship. Mack is swoon-worthy and I loved Ireland's spunk and the rest of her family.
Now I am hoping her brothers get their own story too!

This book is a really fun read. Mackinley Redman didn't make the best first impression on Ireland Banks. He brought a vintage car for repairs to her shop she runs with her brothers. Sparks fly and the attraction is instant. This book has all the feels. I enjoyed it immensely. Get this book ASAP. I promise you won't regret it. Sorry, no spoilers

I think this is my favourite book out of the series. I just love it when the heroine is strong, independent and badass. Ireland is definitely one. And she made Mack work for it. I love it when the heroine doesn't give in too easily. And Mack is definitely up for the challenge. They are perfect for each other. They're explosive together and the BOOM can be felt between these two.

I cannot get enough of these BOOM books. I could read one a day! There's enough to do that!
I absolutely adored Ireland. An independent woman running a garage, sticking close to her brothers, but still being real. Mack is a real sweetheart and is determined to make Ireland his. Even through the drama that is her life, he never gives up even if she thinks he should.

I love Mack and Ireland!!!! Ireland is a strong willed woman with a rough past due to her ex. She has no idea the connection Mack has with her ex and neither does he.
These two are explosive together and made me miss Wes and Z so much!

I love a mechanic romance and when Ireland is the mechanic it was all the better. I loved that these two start with Mack bringing a car to Ireland's shop. Things definitely don't start easy for them and I loved reading about them getting to their happy ending. Mack and Ireland were both such great characters and I loved their story.
I received an ARC and am leaving my honest and voluntary review.
