Super fun and Sexy! What more could you ask for in a romance? This is a great start to the Love by Design series and will leave you satisfied and ready for the next one.
I really enjoyed Hunter and Taylor Jane’s story this was a great read I was pulled right into their story and thought they were just great together the chemistry between them was smoking hot. If like me you enjoy a really good friends to lovers romance then you will really enjoy this book it had me laughing out loud. I would definitely recommend it
This was a great funny and steamy friends to lovers romance. Hunter and Taylor’s personalities were so different from each other but they were perfect for each other. It was so much fun watching Hunter and Taylor fall in love. Curl up and enjoy a funny romance with lots of sexual tension.
FYI, includes mature content. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
He has given up on love as he watched his parents fight before splitting up. Then she comes along thinking she knows all about home design. Does she? Will they be able to work together? See how they get on
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This was a great best friends to lover. The characters were funny and great. Their best friends story was just as good.
I really liked the theme of “Love Under Construction” (nook). Best friends for a decade is a new approach to a story with a HEA.
I did have some issues with the writing, i.e. using incorrect words.
It had a good story line, but the flash backs kept interrupting the story. That made it difficult to read and to follow the story!
This could have been a good book. But it needs editing and I often found myself scratching my head because I didn’t understand what they were talking about. The pacing is off. And it took until I believe around 60 or 70% before they even kissed. Then the author rushed through the last bit. And a stroke and a heart attack are two different things. The spanking at the hospital was just wrong and didn’t fit in this book at all. My gut feeling is that the author is quite young as the writing was a tad immature. And there wasn’t really much about the actual house renovation in the story.
Wonderful characters, so deep and caring. Through in a run down house where everything can go wrong, and it’s a combination of laughs and tears. You can’t help but love these people and want them together.
Time line was disjointed. Bounced back and forth too much. Seemed to drag with needless details.
This was a great romance that sucks you in right away. Lots of heat between the two main characters. I looked forward to sitting down and reading it every time. It made me look up other book by this author. The Badd Brothers series were also good. A great beach read.
An enjoyable read. What fun to watch the characters interact! Lots of chemistry.
Fast read during our “safe at home”
It was okay. Too much alcohol based story and cringe worthy secondary characters.
I would love to read the series of this author great writing
Fast read
I liked the story line but had a tough time staying with it. I felt it was a little disjointed. I want to read the next book to see how Kristen and Damien work things out.
I did not find this very good. It was too slow and too much sex.
Unrequited love finally gets it’s chance!
I loved the characters and camaraderie in this story. Hunter and Taylor Jane are best friends, both hiding their secret love for each other.
The house project is what reminds them of what they like about each other. And we watch how their love grows with the houses character.
