This took me about 15 min to read. It's the backstory to the Blue Collar series.
A couple things bothered me:
1. I didn't like the writing style
2. Maddie's negative attitude toward herself was a turnoff

I appreciate the sample as it gave me a flavor for the series. But, the writing style (present tense) really bothered me and I'm not sure I can get past that.

I shelved it among my “romances read” even if this was just a prequel and there was no romancing.

But it does set me up for “Flirting with Fire” (Maddie & Mauro’s story), which I snagged for free somewhere. 😃

Now I just have to figure out if I want to splurge on the other two books … they’re not on KU or available @ my local library. 🤔

Yay for prequels that count towards the GR reading challenge! 😂

The prequel to end all prequels - as far as the Bianco brothers are concerned. Explains how Maddie, Vanessa and Lauren trade paddles and bid for the Bianco brothers, Mauro, Christian and Luca at a benefit auction. Oh la la!

This is were it all began. Three best friends and three brothers attending a bachelor auction for charity unaware that it was gonna forever share their lives.
We get a brief glimpse into all their lives and so far I'm loving all six of them.

Great lead into the next book.

Was finally able to read this. Why it was a short little prequal and not in the actual story is beyond me. At least now I can get all the prequels to the series I’ve read thanks to kindle unlimited.

Cute intro. Took me about 15 minutes to read but it sets the stage for the series.

Best Laid Plans is a great little teaser hint for the Blue Collar Brothers series. It not only introduces the three Bianco brothers who will feature in this series. But, it also fantastically introduces the three women who are going to be their love interests. Lauren, Vanessa and Maddie all manage to win one “date” for their friends in this auction. I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen when each of these unwilling couples collides. And how the sparks will fly beautifully in doing so.

This is a fantastic novella that works as a brilliant prequel to a series I can’t wait to sink my teeth into. Not only does it introduce the six members of the three couples perfectly, it also starts to hint at the different hangups of the three women involved. I love a good amount of character development in my stories, and the different ways the three women are against their incoming dates hints at a whole lot of character development in this series. oh, and did I mention that each of the brothers is a First Responder? There is just something about a man in uniform…

One of the things that I’ve come to love about Piper Rayne is the way that they introduce a series. By writing a short prequel novella like Best Laid Plans, they are able to pull you into a world that is wonderfully unexpected. Plus, it provides teasers for not just one book, but for three different ones. It leads into the series perfectly, and I’m completely excited to dive headfirst into Flirting with Fire.

This was a short and interesting introduction to the Blue Collar series. We meet the 3 future main female characters and see how they interact as good friends. As good friends, they also play “tricks” on each other and that is where the fun starts!

[B. Milligan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very short read! I read Flirting With Fire first and then this.
This book was prequel with a little bit more details.

[Lynn Mullan · Rating 3 out of 5]

OK read
