Ainsley Burton Needs a Break.Struggling to keep my father’s business afloat, I take whatever jobs are available — even if it means working for the Hell’s Creed Motorcycle Club. The problem is, no one wants to work with a female contractor, and especially not a group of macho bikers.So why do I complicate the situation by sleeping with the club treasurer? Talon might be hot as sin, but he doesn’t … sin, but he doesn’t trust me and I don’t like his attitude. That doesn’t stop me when I get the chance to prove myself and my construction skills, but what about after the project is over?
Can a lady contractor and an alpha biker really find their Happily Ever After?

Wynne Roman Love By Design 4.5 Stars
Wynne Roman has such a way with words that whether she is writing a novella or a full-length novel it is virtually impossible for her audience not to be caught up in her words.
Love By Design, part of the Girl Power Collection, gave readers a sexy whirlwind romance that showed how the power of being vulnerable and the power of love gave the heroine empowerment as a woman. Charged with lots of intensity between the leads, Talon and Ainsley, this work was more than just an entertaining fling but a fulfilling read. Talon personified a man in a man’s world and Ainsley’s chosen career required that she thrive in a man’s world, yet she held true to the essence of who she was and did not let gender barriers hold her back from trying. The respect and recognition between this couple of their differences was well done by this author.
Ms. Roman did a great job of breaking down this relationship to the basics and showing her character’s at their fundamental level of attraction adding extenuating circumstances as additional layers. With lots going on this author was able to orchestrate a quick and detailed plot in a short space of time. Her secondary cast was entertaining and complimented her work. A story you will definitely want to escape with Love By Design was fast, furious and completely Wynne Roman!

When Talon walked in to their bar that night and saw the new girl he knew he had to have her.

Keeping her family business afloat is all that female contractor Ainsley. Taking a job at a motorcycle club is not her ideal job but their money is good. Talon is an anomaly , he is big, gruff and domineering total heart of gold. yeah I know right. These two have met their match in bullheadedness. She is a powerful female who knows what it is like to stand on her own two feet and has magic hands with power tools. Talon and his crew are not your typical womanizer Motorcycle club they cherish their women and support them, but that’s not to say they aren’;t protective of them either. Fun read.

Making it in a man’s world……….one nail at a time
Love by Design by Wynne Roman is part of The Girl Power Romance Collection with each book by a different author. This is the first book I have read by this author so I was not sure what to expect, as you never know when you pick up a “new to you” author. I did enjoy this novella as I thought it was well written, had an engaging story-line and good characters. There were a few things that I did not quite expect concerning the MC but otherwise I just went where the author took the story.
This story is about Ainsley and Talon. She is grieving her father who passed away a couple of months ago. Since then she has taken over running his construction company but has found more than a little sexism in the field. When her father’s birthday arrives she decides to go to a bar and raise a few drinks in him memory, a celebration of his life. At the bar she meets a very handsome and sexy bad boy, Talon. Let’s just say that their night is rocked multiple times. But in the morning there is a price to pay as she discovers he is actually the treasurer of the Hell’s Creed MC, a potential client for her construction company.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
This is first book iv read by the author its well written nicely paced for ypu to get to no the characters and has great romance.

Great characters that will keep your interest extremely well.
I’m not going to go into detail, no spoilers, just read the book if you are even mildly intrigued by the blurb. You’ll thank me later!
The chemistry, sweetness, and twists in plot kept things interesting. Add in drama and passion and you have a good read.

I loved the spin on this with Ainsley being the woman contractor and she has to work with bikers. They don’t think she can do the job which is just wrong on all accounts but you can’t deny the chemistry she has with Talon. Great story that pushes boundaries and shows that women can do a “men’s” job.

I had a great time turning the pages on this book. The way the characters are written and developed had me engaged from the start and kept me entertained throughout the pages.

Wynne Roman did a great job on this story. Love By Design had a strong plot that was written well. Ainsley and Talon were strong characters that were made for each other. They completed one another, the connection was strong, their chemistry was sexy. They were great together.
I enjoyed this story. Thanks, Wynne Roman. Great work 🙂
This was okay. The writing was good and the plot was interesting. I’m just not a huge fan of MC romances. Not much romantic about club whores and sharing your man. It was interesting but the characters didn’t do anything for me.

Everything you want from a good romance story packed into a very powerful novella! I loved it!

Extremely entertaining, captivating and interesting sexy read. I could not put it down. Wonderfully written with strong, intriguing characters. I want to read more from this author.

I absolutely loved this short story!!! Wynne is one of my favorite authors, and this was just so fun to read!
“Love By Design” is included in the Girl Power collection and follows the romance of Talon and Ainsley. Right away these two have some intense chemistry that just leaps off the page. I’m hoping that Wynne will one day revisit these characters and give them a full length book because they are just that amazing!
Ainsley is a strong, badass, woman who owns her own construction company. Being in a male dominated field, she’s learned a long time ago to not let men push her around. She hates the injustice of having to prove herself that much more since she is a woman doing a “mans” job, but she knows she is the best. There is so many layers to this amazing lady, and I just loved her so much. My feminist hard was so happy to see her stand up for herself and what she believed him, and showing that she was just as capable (if not more) than her male counterparts made my heart soar.
Talon is a ruffed-up MC who is the literal definition of an alpha male. He just oozes sex appeal, but is so darn kind hearted and just *good.* I avoid most MC romances because of the treatment of women in those books, but Talon and his crew are just out of this world genuine, down to earth, amazing men and I hope we get more of them as well! I loved how Talon owned up to his mistakes, always went out of the way to right his wrongs, and how supportive he was of Aisnley while being her protector at the same time. I loved this book so very much!!
I definitely recommend this novella, and if Wynne is a new to you author, you NEED to read all of her books as well!
**I received an ARC of this book and these are my honest opinions!**
This was my first MC romance and I loved it! It’s a quick easy to read love story about a couple of lonely people who didn’t know they needed each other. You will be happy you read this one!
Talon and Ainsley will touch your hearts in this MC story. Ainsley goes to a bar to celebrate her father’s birthday. It is a sad occasion because he passed away a few months earlier. Her celebration is interrupted by Talon who joins her and turns her night into an erotic remembrance but the next morning brings a turn of events because she is accused of using back door techniques as a way to get a bid with the MC. What starts out as an intimate night turns into anything but. Will Ainsley get the MC to see her for her ability as a construction company owner who happens to be a woman bad can do the job as well as any man and will their allow her to bid? This story will have you all in and cheering Ainsley on to getting her due!

Love By Design (Girl Power Collection) by Wynne Roman review
I usually find myself left unsatisfied after reading novellas, but when Wynne Roman asked me to read Love By Design in exchange for an honest review, I happily agreed, as I love all of Wynne’s other books. I dove in with some skepticism, but not only did Wynne not disappoint, but she also delivered an amazing story that left me beyond satisfied!
Love By Design was action packed and sizzlingly hot and sexy right from the start, making it impossible for this reader to put down. I read it straight through! Ainsley is a badass heroine who exemplifies girl power as she fights to prove that she can run her late fathers construction company as well as any male can. Enter Talon, the hot, sexy, alpha biker from Hell’s Creed MC. Sparks fly from the minute these two meet at a bar, straight through the entire story. Talon is the perfect guy for Ainsley because not only is he protective, but he also respects her drive and determination. As Ainsley works toward her goals, these two characters fall in love, leading to an amazing ending to this story.
Love By Design is definitely a five star plus, must read story that will leave you falling in love with Wynne’s storytelling! My only hope is that Wynne will give us more hot and sexy stories from the Hell’s Creed MC!! (And maybe a little update on Ainsley and Talon in those stories too!)
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to pre-read this story.

To say that I devoured this novella is an understatement. Once I parked myself on the couch and cracked open the first pages of Love by Design, I found myself completely enthralled by the characters and so engaged in the story that I couldn’t put it down! Love by Design is a part of the Girl Power collection, which highlights and celebrates achievements by women. This author has created an empowering story that will capture your attention right from the beginning and keep you captivated until the very end. While it is a novella, a lot happens in this book. The story is solid and flows well and the characters are remarkably well developed. While I’d love for Ainsley and Talon to have a full length book, the author does an excellent job in making this novella feel both comprehensive and complete even with such few chapters.
In this novella, Ainsley is a contractor in the construction business – how awesome is that?! I absolutely loved this strong heroine. I found her to be relatable and I admired her perseverance & dedication as she works hard to succeed in a male dominated field. Now, if you love MC romances, then you are in for a treat because the delicious Talon is the treasurer of the Hell’s Creed MC club. He is the type of hero that I love in my romance books in that he has some alpha and protective traits, but he is also loyal and respectful. Talon and Ainsley find themselves ensnared by an instant connection and have some sizzling chemistry between them. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this romance. If you are looking for a quick, entertaining, and powerful read, then you will enjoy Love by Design.
Totally fall-in-lovable!
Love by Design left me with a permanent smile on my face and an unquenchable thirst for more. Although it is a novella, written as a part of the Girl Power Romance Collection this amazing author wanted to contribute to, still it’s showing what Wynne Roman does in all her books – characters with interesting and strong personalities and depth. Yes, the length didn’t let her get to the bottom of it (I am sure it would have been room for even more character development if this had been a full length novel) but it conveys the personalities and situations in an adequate and rounded way that didn’t let me feel robbed and unsatisfied, just eager for more.
I fell totally in love with Talon. He is a strong Alpha man, but not in an insufferable, totally caveman way. Yes, he goes after what (and who) he wants and he would do anything to protect them. But he is honest and loyal and, most of all, understanding and not afraid to address his mistakes head-on. I loved that about him. Ainsley is as strong as they get. She never let the man-ruled world in the construction industry deter her determination, value in her abilities or worth, even when she was constantly judged and measured by her gender alone.
Wynne Roman should definitely consider writing more, full-length MC novels, preferably into this amazing world she created in Love by Design, since she nailed it with this one. I would love to read more! I am sure you would to, if you give it a shot, which I recommend, hands down. A solid 5-star worth novella – and I rarely give 5 stars to novellas because I usually find them lucking in many departments because of the short length, so that says a lot. My advice: grab it ASAP.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
