Middleton Hotels #3
Built Strong
Book 3 in the Middleton Hotels Series follows Julian as he claims his HEA.
The Harley Inn has to be perfect for its unveiling, but when the interior designer quits, Jacob needed a new one.
Since Julian was the only one free to travel, he took the mission. What he hadn't expected was the hotel's magic to strike again. The moment his new designer stepped through the door, he knew he was in trouble. Contract or not, she was his.
Morgan was about to jump into shark-infested waters covered in blood when she agreed to take the interior design assignment. With no practical experience in anything Julian wanted to discuss, she was likely going to cost her sister a contract of a lifetime.
Could they blur the lines between business and pleasure? Could it be more than absolute lust?

6+ PERFECTLY AMAZING STARS
I couldn’t believe that I’d gone from hello to madly in love with a beautiful stranger in less than a day, but that was the Middleton way.
OH MY GOD, DO I LOVE these Middleton Men!
And this man, Julian was my favorite! He didn't hesitate when he saw his one, Morgan.
He does everything to get her and it was a case of the most insta-love gooey goodness I have ever enjoyed reading in a very very long time!
IT WAS PERFECT!
They are both kind and compassionate individuals who love their family and would do anything for them.
And mostly I'm importantly, they are both virgins!
(Note: the hero doesn't act like he is experience aka the porn stars moves, he actually has doubts and he rationally thinks out his moves, which made it more believable for me!)
Also, it is as HOT!
The following is a example taken directly from this book,
“Can you come for me again, Morgan? I can’t hang on much longer. You fucking own me, my sweet woman.”
I grabbed hold of her braid, tugging on it as I thrust my cock deeper into her. “I’m coming,” she screamed.
I started pumping into her, my cum splashing her virgin walls, planting my baby in her. I’d been so lost in her that I didn’t think about protection. Not that I had some on me and I wasn’t buying any. We were going to get married, so it didn’t matter.
YES, IT WAS THAT KIND OF BOOK!
It even had a couple of epilogues and one is 20 years later!
I won't say more about this book just that you must read it!!!
Honestly, I have nothing bad to say about this book!
I loved everything about this book and this family!
It was an incredible series and I can't recommend it enough.
The whole book was
I really hope you give this series a chance, but if you read just one book, make it this one!
It was just THE BEST!
Completely safe without any issues!
Happy reading all!

Edited:
This review is NOT about heroes that are virgins is about HEROINES that are always 17, 18 and 19 years old. I'm not sorry that I didn't like this book. I don't go or will I ever go into other reader's reviews asking them to explain themselves why they love a book.
This is one of the reason why I stopped writing reviews people always taking digs at others. If you don't like my reviews feel free to unfollow me or unfriend me believe me I won't miss you.
With that being said I'm going to take a break from this site. I have more important things to do than to defend my reviews.

This is perfect! So far, this is my favorite story. I loved it!
The story is about Julian and Morgan.
Jacob (book 1 H) asked him to meet with the new interior designer for the Harley Hotel.
Morgan doesn't have the degree in design. And if she gets lucky, the Middletons are her first client. She's not qualified to work on the project but her sister believes in her.
One phone call was all it took to fall in love. I loved how Julian didn't waste time and went after his woman.
I also loved the epilogue! Perfect!

MCs:
- Julian, 27
- Morgan, 19
Book info:
- Novella
- Dual virgin
- Insta-love
- No owd/omd
- HEA
The interior designer for the hotel quit her job, and Morgan was sent instead to meet with Julian. She was talented; however, she didn't have a degree or license for this job. He did care about her credentials, but when he saw her designs, he knew right there that she's the one for that role. Also, it was insta-love for him, so I think this is another factor in keeping her close. So he took a chance on her, and he also staked his claim on her.
Overall, this was fun and, of course, ridiculous. 😂 They met that night, had dinner, and, then slept together. The next day, he proposed to her, which she agreed to so quickly. There's a minor miscommunication, but it was handled quickly.
Anyway, still a quick read, and I'm really loving that all the MCs so far in this series are dual virgins.

Another fantastic addition to this series! The characters were likable, and we get our usual alpha male goodness.
Now once again I was not a huge fan of the fact that we had another unrealistic male virgin millionaire in his late 20s...
Besides that we have our typical low angst sweetness overload! <3

Its another Middleton brother and he is just as alpha as his brothers. Oh this is a great story about how he met his mate and their love story is just as good as his brothers.
Julian saw Morgan and he immediately experienced this overwhelming feeling of possessiveness and this need to possess her. Alpha Julian emerged and that is who Morgan got to know –yet she immediately experienced this attraction, this need for him that blew her away because she never felt that before, this need for anyone. I loved watching these two people fall in love , love at first sight.
Not to say there wasn’t any angst, or drama because there is but the make up is awesome and the ending is great. Miscommunication seemed to be the issue between them but it was worked out. I cannot wait for the next Middleton book. These are sexy, alpha, and sweet. Just what I need to read when I am looking for that alpha read quench. CM Steele definitely takes care of that. Her alpha males are fantastic and her females are sassy and sweet. You won’t go wrong with this series.
My rating: 4.6 stars ****

Well, least favourite out of the three, felt a little flat. BUT I LOVE my virgin heroes, who are absolute caveman, yet most respectful to woman and are shit scared of their parents!
This little puppy isn't much into stalking, then again, this one didn't have to fall in love with minors.
So this one was more into charging on point! didn't waste much time. It was probably slightly unethical too. I personally do NOT give a shit!
He's happy, she's happy, the whole family's happy, I AM happy, so everything is fine in smutland!

This is the third book in the series and by far my favorite. Like another review said CM Steele you have outdone yourself with this book. Julian and Morgan were absolutely perfect for each other. Heroine is a 19 years old girl. She is pure, innocent and a sweetheart. She had some doubts about Julian but he doesn't allow misunderstandings to keep them apart. And of-course C.M Steele is the queen of sweet epilogues. Lots of babies and a beautiful big family! She knows how to melt my heart! <3

OMG Julian!!!!
The epitome of an alpha male!!!
From the moment he saw Morgan he knew she was the one!! He fell and he fell fast!! The possessiveness he felt for Morgan was intense. His love for her was out of this world!! She was HIS!!
That being said Morgan felt that same connection!! She was hesitant for like a second, but Julian being Julian won her over. Regardless of little miscommunication Julian powered through and staked his claim just like an alpha caveman!!!
C. M. Steele yet again gives us another fantastic story full of love!!!

Another brilliant read. This author never disappoints me and I am totally loving this series. This is the third book in the Middleton Brothers series.
Morgan is your perfect sweet, pure and innocent heroine. She sees Julian and immediately recognises the connection between them although she is reluctant to believe in it at first. Morgan is sent to meet Julian for a business dinner after her sisters star designer up and quits. Being so young and inexperienced she’s shocked when Julian loves her designs above the previous designer and initially thinks that he is only flattering her.
Julian is the oldest of the brothers and is only in town to do his little brother a favour little does he know that he is about to meet his destiny. The minute he sees Morgan he knows that she is the reason that he is there, the feeling of possessiveness overtakes him and there is only one word that comes to mind……. MINE! After a small misunderstanding between Julian and Morgan’s sister Megan we get to see out the rest of this wonderfully sweet sexy story with a perfect alpha male who is the right amount of OTT.
Love the epilogue and seeing how their life turns out, always makes my heart smile. I have my fingers crossed for a story for Megan and Buddy

I Voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book
Holy Smoke this author just doesn't disappoint. And I am eating this stories up, can't get enough.
Alpha male, chemistry HOT and the story was totally over the top. All the Middleton Men were HOT and this one was no different.
Julian and Morgan was an insta-love romance and Julian was not prepared for the hotel magic to strike again. Julian was like his brothers a hot dirty talker alpha and he knew what he wanted and he would get it no matter what.
If you haven't read any of these books, you will not be disappointed with any of these brothers. C.M Steele will capture you from page 1 and keep you hooked from the beginning to end.

This was... not very good. However, it had something akin to a plot and the characters at least shared a meal before pledging their undying love, so that was an improvement. It deserves 2 stars but because I managed to finish it I will give it 3.

All felt too rushed for me, even the sex scenes.

*I received an arc for my honest review*
Julian is the middle child of the Middleton brothers at 26. He's seen his younger and older brother find their true loves and is beginning to wonder when and if he'll find his. He's always going to parties that a lot of famous celebrities and beautiful women go to but he's never been interested in them because at a young age, his father told him and his brothers that people would try to use them to advance, so they closed themselves off until the right woman would come. Since Julian is the life of the party, everyone assumes him something he's not. When he goes to a meeting, doing his brother Jacob a favor (Jacob is reconstructing Harley the old hotel she worked in and where they found each other) Julian never expected meeting his one :) Julian matches his brothers' caveman instincts and is possessive and protective of his woman. Within the first day, he's staking his claim, letting Morgan know that she's his, and the claiming was hot ;)
Morgan is a young girl who is working in the company with her sister, who believes in her abilities and gives Morgan an important contract, working for the Middleton's. Her first meeting with Julian was funny and intensely hot at the same time. He was a complete gentleman, standing up, pulling the chair out for her to sit down, focusing and listening in all the details that make up Morgan and he was hilarious as well. All of this put Morgan as ease (she was super nervous and worried that she would mess up this great opportunity for her and her sister's company reputation). She didn't understand why she felt so connected to him and since she's never felt this way before, she was hesitant but that didn't stop Julian to convince her and make her his. There's a slight miscommunication involving her sister but Julian powered through it and everything worked out at the end :)
I loved the epilogues that show how their love has never wavered throughout their years together just like his brothers' and their mates and families. Beautiful ending ♡
Can't wait for Tony's story as well as the rest of the entire Clan of Middleton's :)

Julian and Morgan were my favorite couple from this series. Julian was definitely everything ALPHA. During the first book with Jacob CM gives a bit of the secondary characters, however, the focus was mainly on Joseph.
So Julian was pretty much a total stranger and I was clueless as to what he would be like. But I had been loving this whole series a lot, so I dived right on in Julian.
.Immediately I realized Julian going to be oh so goooooood....
He was OTT, decisive, a man of action, and oh so alpha--( I think he may just be the most alpha yet! )
Lets just say there are a few parts where I wanted to pull a Joey and get at him..
Morgan doesn't disappoint as a heroine. She has a backbone and doesn't take BS. Being only 19 years old, CM did a great job with her maturity.
I really hope CM Steele doesn't end this series .There was just something different about these last few books that has my attention.

I can't even believe that I am over halfway through the Middleton Hotel series again! I love this series so much and it has been successful in pulling me out of this book funk I've been in lately. This one is an Instalove and it is Julian and Morgan's turn. 100% safe from any kind of abuse, no cheating, no om/ow drama, and dual virgins. Good read it it's fantabulous!
Each book in the series is a stand alone however you will benefit from reading them in order as there is character crossover and continued story lines.

Holy crap Julian Middleton is the best book boyfriend ever! Jacob needs a new interior designer for the Harley Inn and needs Julian to interview her. An alpha from the first second he saw Morgan. An absolute must read! A nice little surprise about Julian.

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this wonderful book from C.M. Steele. This is the third book in the Middleton Hotel series. I love the name Julian so I was anxious to read about the middle Middleton brother and he did not disappoint. Julian Middleton is 27 years old, he's the middle child of the Middleton family. His older brother, Joseph and his younger brother, Jacob have both found and married their true loves. Julian has always been the social one of the family but he's still a virgin and is starting to think it's about time he changes that. His brother, Jacob asks him to travel to the hotel he's naming after his wife and meet with the interior designer to make sure everything is done right. Morgan is 19 years old, she works with her older sister, Megan at Strong Designs, the interior design firm their parents started years ago. She hasn't received her degree but she has a natural talent having been involved with the business since she was a little year. When a well educated employee quits her sister gives Morgan the new Middleton hotel account having faith in her abilities. Morgan is nervous but Julian likes her designs and he likes her even more and he knows he's found the one. Great epilogue ! Julian was my favorite Middleton and I loved Morgan.

So at only 66 pages, I've whizzed right through another of this insta-love, older alpha possessive/easily becomes jealous/cave man, dirty talking in the bedroom virgin hero (usually 27), younger/blushes easily virgin heroine (19) as they travel at warp speed from meeting to agreeing to matrimony in the blink of an eye.
There definitely is a cookie cut theme with each book so far, folks. Being so short, there isn't a lot of time for character development. The previous books have established these laser like business focused brothers as nearly the same age who have been taught to be respectful of women yet go Hulk like crazy the moment they lay eyes on their barely legal age love interest. It would seem this author has a fixation on this particular type of scenario, along with some OTT lusty language/graphic sex scenes that left me blushing.
Sure, I like these brothers but can't help but wonder if they would all benefit from some therapy time as well. Color me crazy here, but their jealous streak could come across a tad too unhealthy/unrealistic at times. As did the too accepting of it heroines who never seem to question anything about the hero's behavior/actions as being too rushed/odd. Here's to hoping the next book has the heroine making the hero have to work harder for/earn her affection in a more realistic fashion. That would certainly be more appealing/bump up my rating, as would adding more pages. These are extremely short novellas, folks. This one has been my favorite of the series so far, btw.

Sorry this one was NOT my favorite. To me there was no story, no climax other than a misunderstanding. It was rushed and felt like it wasn't part of the series. Morgan/Julian just didn't do it for me, sadly until the end and it was 20+ years later.

Built Strong
Julian was the only brother who didn't have a crazy assistant trying to kill his significant other, or have delusions about being with him. Although Morgan's sister almost made Julian lose his shit when she tried to keep him from her because of something she misconstrued. I look forward to the craziness😅😅😅.

Short and sweet
Short and sweet little perfect read for just before bed. I always love a happy ending plus a little extras. Well written as well as humorous. Great little story fast-moving and perfect.
