Steph has taken a job as a trainer and instructor at Wilinski's Gym. Although she loves her job, it does not pay well and she has no desire to live paycheck to paycheck like her parents. Steph's dating has always consisted of other fighters or other handsome men who are rough around the edges and usually financially unstable. She wants a true gentleman, a man that will wine and dine her and provide the financial security she thinks she needs. Since her occupation usually intimidates her dates, she joins the upscale dating service Spark in hopes of finding her the upscale man of her dreams.

Carpenter turned electrician Patrick Doherty is a sweet, handsome man with a nice body. He is a master carpenter but due to the poor housing market, he had to take any job he could get in order to make ends meet since his divorce. This week he is working as an electrician in the gym where Steph works.

Their first few face to face meetings are less then stellar, leaving Steph with a bloody nose and a cut on her hand. When Steph and Patrick get stuck in the gym for a few hours due to faulty wiring, the spark between them starts to build.

Patrick lays everything on the table. His divorce, financial instability, etc. He is brutally honest and to the point. He is just like everyone Steph has already dated and everything she doesn't want. But after a few dates with a few of her gentleman, she isn't feeling the spark she is looking for. The more time she spends with Patrick the more torn she feels.

I really enjoyed DRIVING HER WILD. This is the third book in the series, but can be also read as a stand alone. This book focuses on Steph and Patrick's story, though these characters do appear in other stories too. All the characters are entertaining, witty, and comical. Although I did feel that Steph was a bit whiny but it fit well with the story line. Patrick's character was greatly portrayed as the sweet divorced hard working man that will do anything and everything in order to make ends meet. DRIVING HER WILD was my first book by Meg Maguire, I will be sure to look for other titles by her.
