BUILT FOR HER is a standalone contemporary romance by Alexa Riley, told from alternating perspectives. This is my favorite type of Alexa Riley book. Ginny is a career woman who buys a historic dream house. Others think she's crazy for wanting to buy a house that needs so much work, but she has vision. While dodging her sister's matchmaking attempts, Barrett Cooper of Cooper Construction, walks into her life. Barrett is the stuff of fantasies: gorgeous, strong, sweet, and committed to loving her and taking care of all her needs.
When Ginny and Barrett first meet when he comes to work on her house, they are lovestruck. The initial flirtation is adorable because of how befuddled they make each other. When Barrett removes Ginny from the path of a creep, he becomes her knight in shining armor. Barrett woos Ginny with designs on her house that captivate her just as much as his physique and sweet words. It's not long before this couple is on the same page about what direction they want their relationship to take: hot, heavy, and longterm. The romance is erotic and contains Alexa Riley's signature earthy sensuality. While everything is all hearts and flowers between Ginny and Barrett, Alexa Riley adds a dash of danger and suspense by throwing a stalker into the mix. Things escalate quickly, and the tone of BUILT FOR HER is evocative of the classic film CAPE FEAR.
BUILT FOR HER is full of passion and a heroine blessed with one hot handyman and plagued by a stalker. This book is perfect for romance fans who like insta-love stories with a heavy dose of erotica and suspense. The sibling drama adds another level to the threats faced by this heroine. I look forward to reading the next book by Alexa Riley.
Genevieve has just purchased a beautiful historic home that needs a lot of love. Okay, maybe more than a lot, but she’s determined to make her dreams come true, so she hires a contractor to help her make that a reality. But when Barrett Cooper steps on her property, it’s like Thor himself has fallen out of the sky. How can she possibly think straight while having a heat stroke? Barrett Cooper is focused on his business and nothing else. He loves restoring old homes but doesn’t get the chance to as much as he wants. When he gets a call about a job that piques his interest, he takes one look at the owner and knows this is going to be a hands-on project. Warning: There’s a lot to love about this hulking alpha who knows how to build a house. But hands off, because he’s falling hard and fast for the woman who has stolen his heart. With someone else trying to threaten what’s his, you’ll find out just how possessive a guy with a big hammer can be.
