Built for Love #2

Built for Trouble

Rate this book
Joe made Katy's best friend's life hell when they were at High School, but even then, there was still something that always drew her to him. When they start seeing each other at a local cafe where they both go for lunch, and share a table to, 'save space', they get to know each other as adults, and they like what they see.

When Joe asks Katy out for dinner, a date is set. One that neither of them ever saw coming. Especially given their past, but sometimes things happen for a reason. The draw to one another is electric and unrelenting .... unforgiving.

When Joe explains his reason for giving her best friend so much grief, something even more shocking is revealed in the process.

Can their relationships survive all the pain and grief that these revelations cause? Will love win in the end? The love between a man and a woman. The love between friends?

I live in Melbourne, Australia, with my partner of over 20 years, two teenage sons, and our Irish Wolfhound, Sarge. There's always something going on around here, and the dog is usually at the centre of the mischief. He's a bit of a sock thief, but only the oldest child's or dad's, and they're usually found on my bed!

In my early 20's, (prior to kids, and my partner, obviously) I sang in a couple of local bands on the weekends. Now I only sing for my own amusement, and pleasure. The bonus is, now I get to use my singing to annoy my children!

I've also been baking, and decorating cakes since my late teens, and I've made a lot of different styles of cakes. Everything from wedding cakes, to kids birthday cakes. I even made a cookie cake one year for my youngest son, it looked like something the dog left behind, but the kids loved it! I love creating new, and exciting designs for my family, and close friends, it feeds my soul, and my need to be creative, as well as my sweet tooth!

Writing is something I've always wanted to do. English was one of my favourite classes, because I could write essays. The only problem was, I couldn't keep to words limits, and I still can't! Mind you, my word limits are my own these days, but I still always go over what I have planned. Apparently, I can't shut up! Being an author as been a dream for as long as I can remember. Self-publishing has made that dream a reality.

My path to becoming a published author came about by pure accident. After reading romance novels since I was in my early teens, (way too early to be reading the bodice rippers that I was!) I wrote a small piece, and asked a close friend to read it. I knew she read what I did, and would tell me if it was good ... or not! She told the rest of our circle of friends, they read it, and wanted more, and well, one thing led to another which led to my first novel being published. That small piece, is now a very edited, and added to last chapter of 'Sneaky', the first book in my Sneaky Love Series.

The great plot was well written and the characters were so well developed that as I turned each page the chemistry between the characters kept me totally hooked until the very last page!

This was a sweet, slow burn love story about second chances, and missed opportunities.

This was a great read. The story was very well written with great characters. The story drew me in and I had it finished in one sitting. I would highly recommend this read.

Of all the idiotic things people do...

This book has the characters doing so many of them! Screw-ups and forgiveness are a huge part of this book. Really, this duet. It's not your Disney fairytale where everyone is perfect and shiny. The characters are imperfect and make insane choices that result in epic disasters. Yes, there's an HEA, but the whole point is the journey along the way. The growth and forgiveness. It's beautiful and thought provoking. But, hey, don't take my word for it. Go read the book yourself and see what you think! <3

Joe and Katy start on a collision course right from the beginning. The desire of wanting what you shouldn't and the deep secret Joe is still trying to hide after all these years just hooks you that much earlier on. It frustrated me that he was holding his answer for so long that I almost didn't like him. I guess frustration worked this time so that's definitely a compliment to the author. Bullies are a hard one to wrap our heads around so just know I feel ya, and it will be ok.

There is something about the forbidden that makes it so irresistible and delicious. But also precarious. And add a secret to the mix and it makes for a story that feels like it is heading for some kind of crash. This story moves like that. It was effectively done. And in the end Joe and Katy wander past the drama to a romance. My first by this author but not my last.

He’s a child

Joseph is a child. Completely immature for blaming Kami for something she had nothing to do with or no control over.
He’s awful.

It could have been great but for the anonymous text he sends his girlfriends best friend.

Built for Trouble is the second book in the Built to Last series and the first I have read by this author. I enjoyed the story of Joe and Katy. It took them a while to have a romance and past drama may come back to defeat them. Will they be able to let go of the past?

I was looking forward to reading this story and I loved it. I enjoyed the storyline and characters and although at times I wanted to smack them upside the head to knock some sense into them I throughly enjoyed reading about them. A very enjoyable and interesting story.

This was so much more than I expected going into the read. BFT was an intelligently written steamy story and the characters have chemistry and depth.
