The Relationship Mechanic by Karmen Lee
The Relationship Mechanic by Karmen Lee is a must-read small-town romance that combines sizzling chemistry with heartfelt moments. As the second book in the Afterglow Books series, it stands strong on its own, making it a great entry point for new readers.

Vini’s pocket-sized dynamism and unapologetic authenticity make her a standout character. Jessica’s journey from commitment-phobic to vulnerable and open-hearted is compelling, though her emotional transformation could have used more on-page exploration. Their undeniable chemistry shines through, creating some of the most rewarding moments in the book.
Karmen Lee’s writing is smooth, accessible, and infused with charm. The small-town setting of Peach Blossom, Georgia, adds warmth and personality, making the story feel inviting and immersive. While the pacing falters slightly during key emotional moments, the overall narrative remains captivating.
