Hot on the heels of her beloved Marriage to a Billionaire novels, New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst nails it with the first in an all-new sexy romance series featuring red-hot contractor siblings who give the Property Brothers a run for their money!
Ever the responsible eldest brother, Caleb Pierce started working for his father’s luxury contracting business at a young age, dreaming of one day sitting in the boss’s chair. But his father’s will throws a wrench in his plans by stipulating that Caleb share control of the family business with his two estranged brothers.
Things only get more complicated when demanding high-end home designer Morgan hires Caleb to build her a customized dream house that matches her specifications to a T—or she’ll use her powerful connections to poison the Pierce brothers’ reputation. Not one to ignore a challenge, Caleb vows to get the job done—if only he can stop getting distracted by his new client’s perfect…amenities.
But there’s more to icy Morgan than meets the eye. And Caleb’s not the only one who knows how to use a stud-finder. In fact, Morgan is pretty sure she’s found hers—and he looks quite enticing in a hard hat. As sparks fly between Morgan and Caleb despite his best intentions not to mix business and pleasure, will she finally warm up and help him lay the foundation for everlasting love?

I absolutely love Jennifer Probst's books, so I was super excited to see she had a new series coming out! I'm not really into HGTV and that kind of stuff, but I was definitely pulled in and was actually able to keep up with the building aspects of the story. I adored the Pierce brothers and seeing them try to repair a very broken family. They have years of stored up anger, resentment, and hurt to try and fix and it's not as easy as opening up and talking it out. They have to earn each other's trust again and learn how to not only cohabitate, but also work together with the construction company. Each brother has their own talent to offer and their views on how things should be done, so it's been a learning process to compromise and share the load.
I really liked Caleb's character. There is just something so positively sexy about a grumpy man who loves his dogs. He has a complicated relationship with his brothers, as he was the one to stay behind and manage the company with his dad after the two left. They had their reasons for leaving and while their relationship is still pretty rocky, they are brothers first and foremost and I think that means more than any of them realized. Caleb is a complete workaholic, so he hasn't had much time for relationships. He's content to work and spend time with his dogs, but when Morgan enters the fray, all bets are off.
Morgan was actually quite fun. She isn't a pushover or afraid to get dirty on the job, despite her outward Southern belle appearance. She acts uptight, but she's really just very guarded, having been hurt deeply in the past. There is so much tension between her and Caleb and I have to say, I love how downright primitive he could be when it came to her. He was jealous of other guys flirting with her and wanted her for himself, even though he knew that would bring along a whole new set of problems. Their banter was such fun to read and I loved seeing them go from being completely frustrated to one another, to not being able to keep their hands to themselves. Probst always delivers on the sexy times!
We met a few secondary characters that I definitely want to know more about. I am hoping both Raven (the new bartender in town) and Sydney (long time family friend of the Pierce's and secretary) are cast as leading ladies in future books. I am a sucker for second chance romances, so I'm hoping one of those comes in to play here as well!
Overall, I definitely enjoyed this first installment in Probst's new series and will definitely be looking forward to the next one!
