The original Powertools crew is back in a brand new series!

Joe has it all–a gorgeous wife, two amazing children, four best friends who are also sometimes lovers, and a booming construction business. He never expected to face some sort of midlife crisis. But somehow, he finds himself longing for even more.

How can he tell his family and the rest of the crew that he wishes they could be closer to his Uncle Tom and the rest of the Hot Rods and Hot Rides gangs?

An emergency crew meeting turns into a steamy attempt to show Joe exactly what he’d be missing out on if he left the crew and their polyamourous lifestyle behind. Will it work? Will he listen to his heart or parts of him below the belt? Either way, he’s screwed.

This is a standalone book set in the Powertools universe. All your favorite Hot Rods and Hot Rides characters will be making appearances as well. Some come make new book boyfriends or hang out with old ones.

Screwed is the first book in the ‘Powertools: The Original Crew Returns’ series written by author Jayne Rylon. This story is an extension of the author’s Powertools, Hot Rods, and Hot Rides series, but it can be read as a standalone romance. Although, if you’re like me and enjoy knowing all of the backstories, I recommend reading the other books before reading Screwed. Just know that it’s just a suggestion.

Joe has been traveling to his Uncle Tom’s and cousin Eli’s a lot lately. As time has gone by, he’s felt more and more torn. Joe loves his family, which includes all of the Powertools gang. But he can’t let go of his desire to be closer to Uncle Tom and Eli. His wife, Morgan, has noticed the change in Joe, and she’s been thinking the worse. After confronting Joe, they talk everything out. Now, he just needs to confront his Powertool’s family and inform them of their decision.

The only problem is how to tell them, and what will they say?
