Built for Love by Lori Foster
The Carlisles #3

3 Stars - When I purchased this book I actually thought it was a different story I was buying, so sadly that was a disappointment for me. However Lori Foster is a great author so I wasn't to worried.

This novella however didn't stack up to Foster’s norm. I didn't feel much chemistry between the two lead characters, I found Jesse a bit too pushy and assuming, and Tonya couldn't seem to make up her mind at times. Is the relationship going too fast or not fast enough.. on the flip side both Jesse and Tonya seemed very caring towards Kevin and wanted the best for him.

I felt the story skipped along at a quick pace and felt rushed at times. I would have liked to get to know these characters better and have the plot explored a bit more as it had a good premise.

I am still looking forward to the book of hers I thought I was buying!!! Which I think, comes out in the new year..

DESCRIPTION, NOT REVIEW: Some loves are built to last in Lori Foster's sizzling new novella (89 PAGES)

Contractor Jesse Baker knows all about knocking down walls—but chipping away at Tonya Bloom's defenses has been tougher than he expected. The gorgeous blonde has made it clear she doesn't have room in her life for romance…so what is it about her that makes Jesse determined to prove her wrong?

Realtor Tonya is an expert on houses, but building a home—and family—for her newly orphaned nephew, Kevin, is a challenge she never expected. And while Jesse might be a shoulder to lean on, he's also a distraction she can't afford. But with Jesse set on winning her heart, will she realize once and for all that the perfect love doesn't always happen at the perfect time? ( )
