Barrett and Monroe first met when she was in town to start a new job. They had a discreet encounter in a bar bathroom and thought that was going to be it. When she meets up with Benton, she sees Barrett again and finds out that her one night stand is her best friend’s brother and her new boss. This book will have you laughing and yearning for the next book. It was a quick fun read and you won’t be disappointed when you pick it up.

Best Friends, surprise hook-ups, work deadlines, and bickering co-workers is everything that is awesome about Caulk Tease. I enjoyed the bickering back and forth between Barrett and Monroe. The pranks between these two were hysterical! Monroe’s and Benton’s relationship are the kind that stands the test of time. In the first couple chapters, I was laughing my butt off. I love Monroe’s strong, quirky personality. This was a great rom-com and I cannot wait for the next books in the series!
I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
Laugh out loud funny, sexy and all around entertaining start to this series! Ashley @ Carolina Chic’s Read
Caulk Tease is a great first book in this new series by this new duo. Barrett and Monroe are combustible from the time they meet and keep you fighting to see them make it to their happily ever after! This story is the one night stand that turns into more. The heat between these two is one that can’t be missed and will keep you in stitches waiting to see what next crazy thing will happen. I loved every page of this story. Can’t wait for Barron and Scarlett story next!!!
When these two writers teamed up for what I can only hope is going to be a brilliant series, the sparks of steam and wit flew! Megan Green and Alexandria Bishop have created the perfect equation for love. Their characters, Barrett and Monroe have such amazing chemistry. Monroe has come from the “ashes of tragedy” to become an excellent female contractor. Barrett has come from a family of privilege but also support and love. He has joined with his brother, Benton and his best friend, Ashley to launch their own construction company. They are a few weeks into their most important project, City Hall, when they realize they need HELP!! Benton calls his best friend, Monroe because he knows she can get the job done. When Benton introduces Monroe to his partners, the dance begins between Barrett and Monroe. They seem to walk the line between love and hate. It is one of the wittiest stories I have read this year. I am looking forward to more from these authors and the stories of the other characters who need their own HEA.
Loved this story!!
Monroe has had a hard life. Almost everyone she has ever been close to has left her or passed away. When she falls on hard times, she has nowhere to turn except an old high school friend. Now, she has a job as a foreman on a construction site and a place to sleep, it might be a shady motel, but it will do until she is back on her feet.
Barrett has had a pretty easy life but he is determined to make a name for himself as one of the owners of a construction company. Things aren’t going according to plan on a major project and when his brother says he has someone that can help them out, Barrett trusts that he’s right. Barrett doesn’t know what to think of a female being a foreman on a construction job and figures this project is doomed.
Monroe is prepared to do battle with Barrett if necessary to prove herself worthy of this job. But it’s a thin line between love and hate and there is plenty of sparks between Monroe and Barrett to keep things hot! Will these two be able to work together to get the job done and come out on the other side as more than enemies?
I loved this book so much! This book has it all – fantastic main characters, lots of humor, witty banter, tons of chemistry and an all-around phenomenal story. I loved the other characters as well and can’t wait to read the next book by these 2 authors in this series!
Highly recommend!

I really like books featuring a woman working in a man’s world. Our heroine, Monroe, works as a site manager in construction sites. After her high school friend, Benton, offers her a job she accepts easily. She doesn’t have anywhere else to go after losing both her mom and uncle. Her first night in the town starts with having an one-night-stand with a sexy stranger. What she doesn’t know is that this stranger is her new boss!!
Barrett is solely focused on his family business and doesn’t have time for anything else. What he couldn’t anticipate is that the one night he let loose, will change how he sees life!
Monroe and Barrett are clashing for the most part of the book. Their interactions consists of harmless pranks and constant banter, filled with sexual tension. I really laughed with some of their antics and felt the chemistry between them.
I lived the other characters as well and I’m looking forward to their stories. I’m eagerly waiting for Benton and Scarlett’s book next!!!
Started out flirty and hot right off the bat. Then it got angsty and a little angry. Next came sweet, banter and a whole lot of steam. It was full of chemistry and secretive. She was a woman in a man’s world kicking butt, gaining respect, working her tail off…and charming the one guy she probably should have stayed away from. Fun read!
Oh my, what can I say? Monroe and Barrett have a chemistry that can’t be topped. I loved this story. I loved Monroe’s backstory and Barrett’s personality. The secondary characters were real, ideal and helped make this story what it was, great.

A one night stand turns complicated because who they are. Malone chose to have a one night stand, which is out of character for her, but chooses to not swap names. To say sparks where flying is an understatement in this sex scene. He tells her this isn’t the last he’ll see of her and she doesn’t want to see him again. After all it was a one night stand and was only suppose to be that. She figures it would be better not knowing who he was but didn’t take in consideration the small town she came back to live in. When they see each other again he is less than happy and she isn’t much happier then him. Even though he wanted to see her again he didn’t under these circumstances. To find out if he goes after her and if she stays away from him, even though it was the hottest sex she’s ever had, you’ll just have to get this book and read it!!
If you want laugh out loud fun as well as spicy, sensual romance this is the book for you. Monroe has had a shit life – if it can go wrong it has and she is on her last hope. Barrett is a stuffed shirt who has had the world at his feet but this has made him a hard judgmental ass. Put the two together on a construction site and you get a romance that will leave you with a smile on your face. This book had great charters and a storyline that I could not put down. I cannot wait for more in this series.
This is a short and funny rom-com. Barrett and Monroe have chemistry from the moment they laid eyes on each other. This story had me laughing – the pranks, the banter! I thoroughly enjoyed how they both had changes to make when they factored love into the equation.
As Monroe arrives back in her home town to take the job offered by her best friend Benton the last thing that she expects is to have a incredibly hot encounter with a stranger in the bathroom of the local bar.
Imagine her horror when she arrives at work the next day to find that the hot mysterious stranger is in fact Barrett her new boss and worse, her best friend’s brother! Barrett pretends that they have never met and lets Monroe know that he is not happy about her taking charge of the construction site. and that he doesn’t think that she can get the job finished on time. As Monroe sets out to prove to him that she is not just a pretty face Barrett soon learns that she is a force to be reckoned with, and when it comes to construction she knows her stuff and can do the job as well if not better than most men.
I loved this hilarious romp where Barrett has to eat his words, and they hide their growing attraction beneath pranks and games. This is a book that will make you giggle, and cheer for Monroe as she fights to be recognised for her talents. Very well written with great characters and scorching hot sex scenes. Enjoy!
I absolutely adored this Rom-Com by Alexandria Bishop and Megan Green. Monroe & Barrett had me cracking up non stop from the beginning and kept me wanting more. Monroe is hired by her Best Friend Benton to work for his construction company. Barrett is Benton’s older brother and also a partner in the business, he is the head designer. Monroe and Barrett meet in a bar the night before she is supposed to start working and have a hot one night stand in the bar bathroom not giving any names to each other. Needless to say things go a little crazy once they set eyes on each other again and realize who the other is. They start to pull some hysterical pranks on each other as they fight to deny their feeling for each other. The Chemistry is off the charts. You won’t be disappointed. I want more of these two and can’t wait to see what happens to them when we get Benton and Ash’s stories.
Very good romance mixing humor and discovery of the other
I loved the beginning which is torrid, and that makes exciting this romance from the first pages. The rest of the story has funny parts with characters who hate each other after having slept together without knowing each other, and make pranks to have their revenge, while they discover each other.
The story is pleasant to read, very well written, and once started, I could not let go of the story, which is partly simple. It’s really the interactions between the characters, their dialogues, that hold the whole story.
Monroe has sex the bathroom of a bar, with a stranger who turns out to be the brother of her best friend for whom she will work. It was supposed to be a story of a few minutes, but it gets complicated very quickly for her. When they meet again, they ignore each other, argue, make jokes to get revenge for their arguments. Yet, there is still this part of attraction that linked them the first night.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
Humorous and hot, this was a delightful read. Monroe and Barrett’s romance is a unique blend that is hard to fit into a single mold. Monroe was a strong, resilient, empowered woman that I would love to have as a friend. Barrett’s attitude can be a bit off putting but there was no denying his charm and appeal. These two had terrific chemistry and their banter was clever and sharp. This rom-com was an amazing read that is well worth reading.
Barrett and Monroe will have you on an emotional rollercoaster reading their story. Monroe has lost just about everyone that she loved. After accepting a job from her best friend Benton, she moves back to her mother’s hometown. The night before she is to start the job she goes to the bar to meet Benton when he cancels, she meets a rather handsome man and has a tryst in the bathroom expecting to never see him again. Turns out he is one of her new bosses and things really turn into a love hate journey as these two dance around each others true feelings for each other.

Barrett and Monroe are combustible from the start. The chemistry they have is amazing the fact that Monroe hella to save the business and falls in love with Barrett at the same time amazing. Love the story and how all the characters interacted. Can’t wait for more.
There’s something to be said about your small hometown – nothing ever changes. Or does it?
Monroe Daniels is heading home to Winchester, CO at the request of her best friend. When she meets a sexy-af stranger in the bar her first night home, she figures why not?
Too bad he’s her new boss. Barrett Brooks is a serious workaholic but a night with Monroe has him changing. What happens when these two start building their relationship? Steamy scenes, a lot of romance, and a happily ever after!
