***4 ‘Figure It Out’ Stars*** And we have another winner in the Book Boyfriend series (though Max and Hailey from Faking It are still my favorite couple :D )! This second chance at love story is filled with humor, heart, heat that will keep you turning the pages and wanting more. I fell in love with Kyle before the first chapter was over. What he does and the reason why he does what he does made my heart go all kinds of swoony and twitterpated. He’s got a laid back vibe and a good heart and when the Alpha side of him comes out to play all bets are off. Ella I really liked. She’s compassionate, kind and I had to admire how she took responsibility for her family when things went to hell in a handbasket. But that responsibility weighs her down and while I totally understood why she did the things she did, I wanted to reach and shake some sense into her so she could Kyle and Ella’s second chance at love journey was a fun one. The angst was low, which I really liked, and while there were a few bumps and some eye rolling/heavy sigh moments, it was fun to watch these two get to know each other again. The smexy as hot and I loved the Ella gave as good as she got. The issue that broke them up when they were teens was a pretty big one and I can’t say I blame either for how they handled, and didn’t handle, things, but I liked how they dealt with it all when they collided again and how everything worked out for them in the end. As always, the writing was engaging, well paced and seamlessly put together. I enjoyed catching up with the other couples and cannot wait to get my hands on Connor’s book! ~ Copy provided by the author & voluntarily reviewed ~

I have been waiting for Kyle's story! I love the Book Boyfriend series. Well Built can be read as a standalone just in case you have been unable to keep up with the series. But i suggest to back track to the beginning. You need more alpha book boyfriends in your life! Kyle and Ella's story was about never forgetting your first love. This book brought so many memories of all my firsts. I am a fool for love and was hopelessly rooting for Ella to let go of the "what If's" and would finally give Kyle a chance. We find out that they have a horrific history, but they were not to blamed. They still allowed series of events dictate their future. Now fast forward 10 years later and their chemistry cackles even louder! Oh my, I think I covered my eyes a time or three when Ella and Kyle were going at it hot and heavy in between the sheets. And up next we get to read Connor's story. My friends, Well Built gives you hot and sexy alpha men with tool belts. TOOL BELTS...CONSTRUCTION MEN, HOT AND SWEATY MEN! All that muscle that is described while they are reconstructing a new building was suppose to be sweet and innocent, but thoughts went into over drive! Well Built is drool worthy, swoon worthy, and all about a hot and sexy second chance story. I loved it from beginning to end! Carly and Erika make a great team to bring us our sexy romance dreams into words.

I loved reading Well Built, another hit for co-authors Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde. These two are among my favorite authors and among the most talented writers in Romance Land. Combining their voices created a strong story, with characters that not only have compassion and empathy but also depth. I have to say that this book is equal parts dirty and sexy, with some extra fun thrown in, all which benefits by the combining of their voices. I highly recommend this book to all readers. This book is definitely hot and sexy, but is also a second chance at love for high school sweethearts Kyle and Ella. Both are the good child, at least in comparison to their siblings. Ella has dedicated her life to taking care of her father, giving up a life of her own. The question Ella has to decide is whether or not she can come to terms with loving Kyle and having the life she wants rather than continuing her care for her father and his dreams. I totally enjoyed reading this wonderful book and highly recommend this book to other readers. I truly cannot wait to see what to see what Carly and Erika have lined up next as they continue this co-authorship. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
