Publisher's summary

Falling hard for my ex-boyfriend's rugged older brother was never in the plan.

Beckett Miller may be my brother’s best friend, but he’s also the last person on earth I want to ask for help. He’s stubborn, demanding, and doesn’t care at all what people think of him–everything his little brother wasn’t, and definitely everything I should not want.

Thanks to my own stubbornness and my three infuriating siblings, he is the only one who can help me renovate my beloved aunt’s farmhouse. Beckett thinks I’m a doormat, and I know he’s an arrogant prick, but toss in one late-night game of tipsy strip poker and before long, endless summer days turn into scorching hot nights.

Listen.

I can fix everything around me: my friends’ problems, my brothers’ love lives, maybe even the decades-old rivalry that divides our cozy, coastal town. Beckett’s snarl and heavy sighs are no match for me.

The only thing I can’t seem to fix is the way my body reacts when he swings a hammer. I built walls to protect my heart after what his brother did to me, but I’m finding it could all come crumbling down with just one touch.

Great book!

I’m really enjoying this series! These were my first ones by Lena Hendrix and I’ve not been disappointed at all! They are a fun time!

Greatly enjoying this series!

Would defiantly recommend. Love the characters and story development. Ms Hendrix is becoming one of my favorite authors!

Small town romance, she falls for her ex's brother

This was my first book by Lena Hendrix and will not be my last! Some of my favorite tropes ever are in this one. Forced proximity? Hate to love? Angst and tension to the max? Yes please! I love ex's brother romances and I loved how Beckett already knew Kate. This is also best friend's sister, which I love as well. Kate is living with her aunt and they need help renovating her place, so they hire Beckett to help with renovations. Beckett has received a lot of flack from his family for not having a corporate job like them, his family really looks down upon him. Kate is fiery and head strong, and she is definitely not the same girl Beckett knew when she was dating his brother. They are forced to be around each other while working on the house and they even have to take a road trip together. I really love how Kate started documenting all of their projects on social media, which was such a fun element added to the story. She finally is finding her passion, while falling for Beckett. This was just such a fun small town romance! I finished the audio book in a day because I was obsessed with this romance!

An Epic and Spicy HEA

This book gave me all the feels!
Let's start with the sassy heroin. While she's a little bratty in the beginning, you soon develop a love for her sass and whitt.
Beck stole my heart almost immediately! Who doesn't love a sexy man that's also handy?! His family is extra, but he has that beautiful soul that needs a woman like Kate to show him his worth.
This book has it all:
Spice
Sass
Frustrating Family Dynamics
Brother's Best Friend
Small Town goodness
and my favorite, a HEA.
Lena Hendrix nailed it! You're going to love it!

Absolutely great story..

These books meaning the first one, and this 1 about the Sullivan's are absolutely fabulous.. They keep my attention. It's a definite page-turner.. I love the characters I can't wait to see. What happens with the other sullivans? I can't wait to see all the practical jokes that they do against the kings and the mystery with the kings.. That's a tad bit of a spoiler there not much, though.. All in all, this story was really great. It was great to see the heroin Be an independent self.. And I was happy for the male as well. I can't really say wire. I'll give it away. I can tell you that it the story was definitely interesting.
I'd say more, but I just don't know how to say it.
I will say that the narrators did an absolutely fabulous job. Erin was such a great with the female character she really did such a great job at bringing her to life and, of course, our unicorn Sebastian well.
He was very good as well with the male Brooding. self.

So cute

Ugh, I absolutely loved Beckett and Kate. This grumpy contractor had me from page one. The narrators did a great job bringing these characters to life. I can’t wait for book 3!

Loved it

I'm glad I discovered this author. Her books are a good mixture of sweet, steamy, heartfelt, and funny.

Love love love!

I really enjoyed this story. It was a great “take a look at yourself and work on your problems before you jump into a forever with someone”.

Loved it!

When Kate Sullivan is summoned back home from Montana, she's reluctant to go, but she's convinced by her brothers that she's the only person who can persuade their aunt to renovate the dilapidated family home. What she doesn't know is that they already hired her brother's best friend to do the job.  Small problem: he's the brother of her gaslighting and manipulative ex who broke her heart.
Beckett's family doesn't take his career seriously and resent him for hot following the family's high-powered career path. Renovating old houses is his passion and he's highly successful but they still look down on him. When he's asked to help doing the renovation of the Sullivan house, he immediately says yes. He knows he'll have to deal with the kind of mousy and demure girl his brother used to date. He gets the surprise of his life when he realized that Kate Sullivan is feisty, passionate and dead set on getting him out of this project.
When she starts an Instagram account to document the renovation and Beckett becomes "The Brutish Builder", they start to realize that they make a wonderful team... in every way.
Oh this one was fun! I loved seeing Kate grow into herself and Beckett finally realize his own worth.
The renovation aspect of the story is fun and I loved the whole vibe of their romance. Their banter is top notch and they are fire together! 
Narration: Perfectly cast with Erin Mallon as Kate as she manages to convey Kate's personality and insecurities beautifully. You have a grump, you get Sebastian York. Boy he delivers!

Best book ever

I belly laughed and cried! This is hands down my favorite book! The narrators make you feel as if you’re right there. This book is fantastic!
