Build Review

Build by Gillian Archer
Burns Brothers #1

Synopsis:

Welcome to Bad@ss Builds where the motorcycles are as sexy as the brothers building them.

Austin Burns:

I thought she wasn’t real the first time I saw her. To be fair I was a hungover mess when I woke up and looked into her gorgeous eyes. After getting the second worst news of my life — that my father would be paroled soon — I’d escaped to my buddy’s posh cabin near Lake Tahoe. Now the maid with the gorgeous eyes is snowed in with me, and I wonder if she might be a better distraction than the mountain of booze I’d planned on drinking. She’s curvy in all the right places, and the snow is falling faster.

Rachel Tannenbaum:

As a single mom, I don’t have time for men, especially irresponsible tattooed bad boys like my ex. But Austin is hot. And sexy. And stuck here in the cabin with me. I can’t say no to a fling with this bad boy, especially since Austin is so gorgeous and awkwardly sweet.

One night becomes two, and I don’t know if I can risk my heart — and my little boy’s — if Austin wants it to become more when we get through the snow and back to reality.

My Review:
My Rating: 3 stars

Austin works at a garage with his brothers and as the oldest brother has had a lot of responsibility thrown on him. He gets some bad news and decides to go to one of his friend's cabin and figure out what to do with the news. Enter Rachel, a single mom who cleans houses as one of her jobs. A huge storm blows in leaving them trapped together in a cabin until they can get plowed out. What happens when the chemistry is off the charts? This was a cute story, but at times I grew frustrated with both the lead characters. I loved seeing the relationship Austin has with his brothers and how close Rachel and her mom and son were. I thought the sex scenes weren't over the top but the way Rachel and Austin both acted drove me up the wall. I will say even though they frustrated me, this story felt real. It wasn't a fairy tale and it showed what hard work goes into relationships.
