The Mechanics of Lust

A Mackenzie Country Story

By: Jay Hogan

Narrated by: Gary Furlong

I broke the rules and fell in love with my best friend. Newsflash. He didn’t feel the same. I had to stand by and watch him fall for someone else. Moving on hasn’t been easy since we all live and work on the same high country sheep station, but I’m finally getting there.

I’m building a new life, a new set of dreams, planning a different future, just me and my dogs. The last thing I need is Luke Nichols, the sexy, enigmatic, ex-husband of my nemesis, filling my head with a laundry list of cravings. Talk about complicated.

Luke is only in Mackenzie Country for a few months and I’m not about to put my heart on the line again just for a little fun. But the more I’m around Luke, the harder it is to remember exactly why Luke and I are a bad idea, the worst idea.

Things between us are about to go nuclear. Maybe I’m wrong.

Maybe we can keep it simple.

Maybe I can satisfy my cravings and hold on to my heart.

And maybe pigs can fly.

Note: This book contains references to the past loss of a child.

Great story

This series is one pf my favorite’s and this book did not disappoint. Gary Furlong is a great narrator who makes the characters come alive and add another dimension to the story.

Ja Hogan is an amazing author who writes gripping stories with just a tiny bit of angst which she balances well with the funnier shenanigans the characters come up with in this book

I would highly recommend to listen (or read) The Art of Husbandry (which is just as exquisite as this book) before listening to this one since it is sort of a sequel to TAOH. It can be listened to as a standalone but you will get much more out of this book.

The Mechanics of Lust is about 2 broken souls starting to heal and finding love again but it also deals with unaccepting parents and loss of a child (happened previously but the grief is a part of the story).
Jay describes the MC’s issues beautifully with a lot of grace and understanding.

I can highly recommend this book!

What stood out?

Narration!

It appears Jay Hogan is not the author for me, as I found The Art of Husbandry and this one quite boring and uninspiring.
