Quick easy read. Good beach read
Light easy reading.
I enjoyed the improbable plot, but the book was poorly edited. The sentence structure was pathetic!
The basic story of the young boy surviving an abusive parent car crash deaths and the young girl surviving her mom’s death is very good. The basis of flipping the house in a competition is very modern day. What made it hard to read was the unnecessary foul language and relationship. Some of it would make gang members from the worst part of town blush. It resulted in mostly not liking the characters.
Love Under Construction by M.C. Cerny is book One in the Love By Design Series. This is the story of Hunter Hart and Taylor Jane Bryant. Taylor Jane and Hunter are friends but the more they are around each other the more they want more.
This has some funny scene and overall really enjoyed their story
I really enjoyed this one! Hunter and Taylor’s story combines some of my favorite troupes! The storyline had me hooked and all of the characters kept the story flowing! Definitely worth reading!
This was fun and sexy and right up my alley because it’s friends-to-lovers. Taylor and Hunter were fun and oh so sexy. The push and pull between them and the shenanigans going on around them just made this the more fun.
“Love Under Construction” (Love By Design Book 1) by M.C. Cerny is a great read. I loved Taylor and Hunter’s story. This is a great start to this series. Packed with romance, close friends, humor, and more. I can’t wait to see what happens next in this series in “Unlovely Things”. Highly recommend to all fans of romance, humor, and series.
Hunter and Taylor have been friends for years and while they both had harbored crushes on the other one, they spent years denying their attractions and running away from each other. Until one day Taylor comes back home because her father isn’t doing too well, and she decides she is going to flip a house much to Hunter’s dismay. I loved the writing style because we got both sides of their stories and we got to go back to their time in high school and growing up together. There were a lot of times I was laughing so hard because the author wrote some great scenes especially with the owl and the haunted toilet ghosts. IT was a cute read and it made me fall hard for Hunter, but I was beyond excited about getting more of Damien in the next book.
Love Under Construction tells the classic story of two lovers who don’t know that the other has feelings for them, and, for quite some time, you just want them to tell each other already. Ten years. The story turns about sweetly while each realizes their mistakes and the ending is a nice conclusion to it all.
An entertaining fun sweet romance story. I enjoyed this storyline with it playful banter and chapter made it easy as it jumped back and forth in time. The characters were fun and interesting with great chemistry. I voluntarily read and reviewed this ARC with a good HEA.

Flipping is never this much fun in real life
Love Under Construction is a fun and engaging story by M.C. Cerny. It is the story of Taylor Jane Bryant and Hunter Hart who are best friends of over 10 years. Hunter runs a successful contracting business while Taylor Jane has watched every home reno and flipping program available on TV.
Taylor Jane enters a contest on flipping houses and an old and in desperate need of a reno house. So she of course asks Hunter for help with making it what she envisions so she can win the contest. He is the typical alpha male and wants to protect Taylor Jane from hurting herself or getting hurt so of course he jumps into action for her. They banter back and forth like an old married couple which is quite funny, especially if you have been through either a reno or build with your partner.
As they get further along in the reno they also get deeper into those pesky things called feelings. It seems Hunter has has non-friend feelings for Taylor Jane for a long time and vice versa. The question now is will either of them actually tell the other and risk the friendship to get the HEA.
Also, will Taylor Jane will he flipping contest or will she just flip over Hunter and really win the prize?
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
This book will be a great addition to my collection. Having great and well developed characters and an engaging storyline that flowed smoothly makes it a good read.

I’ve flipped for Love Under Construction. Hunter and Taylor are a work in progress in more ways than one. Cerny gave me heart tingles and I laughed the whole way through. Taylor is an accident waiting to happen with Hunter grudgingly there to break her fall.
I enjoyed the story of Taylor Jane and Hunter, they had been friends for a very long time, and neither wanted to admitt they had feelings for each other. When Taylor Jane comes back home to fix up an old house for a renovation contest, Hunter does everything he can to help her. They have a rocky road ahead of them and some conflicts, but I recommend reading the book to see how it all turns out!

Hunter and Taylor Jane had a history. Childhood friends who never overstepped the boundaries even though they knew there was more than platonic friendship. Both of them avoided the truth. But meeting up again and working together to save Taylor Jane’s childhood home brought back all the memories making it impossible to further ignore the attraction between them. A well written book and easy read.

This book would make a great weekend read. It sweet, yet sassy and has some heat. Had a nice follow, even though the more intense scenes. Has some lol moments as well as heart-tuggers. You can help but root for the 2 main characters as you learn more about their complex relationship. You also can help but root for the 2 main backgrounds and wonder (Looking forward to reading their story too.).
If you’re looking for a book you can pick up, put down, and pick back up as you go about your weekend this is a great option.
