Untouchable
Bailey Dimarco has always had a plan.
Get her own apartment.
Buy a truck, preferably blue.
Prove to her overprotective father and brother that she can make it on her own.
And work beside her cousins to run their fathers’ construction business.
Her plan never included an intense attraction to her sexy new coworker or the immediate rejection she feels from him.
To him, she’s off-limits.
But Bailey has never been one to back down from a challenge. She proved that by becoming the only female on an all-male construction crew.
When a stubborn tomboy sets her sights on an obstinate engineer, what could possibly go wrong?
*Can be read as a standalone.

Book 1 of the series and I’m loving all of the characters and I’m already anxiously awaiting all of their stories! I loved Bailey and Chase! My favorite thing about Bailey was that she never wavered on what she wanted. So any times the heroine in the book is a little wishy-washy on whether they are staying in to fight for the relationship or walking away….but not Bailey and I loved her for it! Chase had some personal demons to work through and with Bailey by his side he overcomes! I loved the development of the other characters too…Ryder and Bree, Chase and Paige, Callie, and then there’s Bailey’s younger sister Harper….boy she’s gonna be a handful for someone lol!

Holy cow! This is my favorite of Jennifer Hanks to date! I don't think Jennifer Hanks could have written this any better than she did! The attraction, the buildup, the emotions that poured off the pages, everything was pure perfection!
Untouchable is the first book in Hanks's newest series, Game of Love. This features Bailey and Chase. Bailey is a DiMarco but a cousin to the DiMarcos we've already read. Chase works for DiMarco Construction, where Bailey just started working at and Chase isn't happy that a woman will be working on a job site that is all men, except her.
These two were so much fun to read! They are both headstrong and both attracted to each other. There's this push and pull between them that is both frustrating and delicious!
If you've read my reviews of Jennifer Hanks' books, then you know I'm a sucker for Jack DiMarco. He always brings me to tears with just a line of two. Well, his brother, Joe, does the exact same thing. Also, for anyone that is a obsessed with Jack as I am, we get to learn a little about his past. (I still have my fingers crossed for a prequel or two now that I've met Joe.)
If you've never read anything by this author, this would actually be a great place to start. It teases the other series but not in a way that makes you feel like you're missing out and have to play catch up. This book will only make you want to read the other series.
Now, moving on the future potential stories. We know what the next one in this series will be (if you've read the story) but there are a few more that could happen in this series and another one in her other series. I'm probably in the minority, but I am really, really, really ship Ryder and Harper. I think her craziness will push Ryder over the edge and his grumpiness will get under her skin.
If you can't tell by now, I highly suggest reading this series and really all of Jennifer Hanks' books.

Game of Love is the first in this series, but is still part of the beloved Dimarco family. This time we are following the children of Joe Dimarco, Jack Dimarcos’ brother. I love this family. They are all for one and one for all. An incredible family bond. They love and appreciate each other’s strength and vulnerabilities and ALWAYS has each other’s back.
Bailey is finally doing what she loves to do, build. But it puts her in the middle of a “man’s world” and many aren’t as welcoming as her family. She will have to prove that she belongs and can do the work. Not only will some be unwelcoming, but out to make sure she realizes she doesn’t belong.
Chase is taken off guard with his instant attraction to Bailey. Unfortunately, not only is she off limits, she’s an employee. If only his heart would get the message. The sexual tension is off the charts whenever these two are in the same room.
This book is the perfect start for this new series. I loved Bailey and Chase. Their chemistry is sizzling!! These characters are fun and the sibling story lines are an entertaining added bonus! Truly a fun read!

A new spin off series starting with Chase and Bailey!!! We met Chase from Charlie and Ben’s book. Love these two and how tough Bailey is. Career driven, Bailey works in a predominantly male field, but is paving her way. Chase and Bay work together in the same company but not really the same area. But, while she feels this pull, he’s willing and wanting to ignore his towards her.
These two are so good together, I love seeing the supporting characters and can’t wait for more in the series!!!!!!!

Bailey and Chase, how I’ve waited for your story.
Jennifer Hanks if course did not disappoint.
We got back into wonderful world of the DiMarcos and their extended family.
A slow burn, age-gap romance. Chase and Bailey go together like a good food and wine pairing.
Bailey is an inspiration to all women who is finding their way in a “man’s world”. She’s fierce and determined to show us that women can and will do a “man’s job”.
I loved this book, just like I loved every other book that includes the DiMarcos. A story of friendship, family and of course love.

I want to be a Dimarco, or one of Jack Dimarco's people. I fell in love with the Dimarco family and Jennifer Hank's writing after reading Lucy, the first book in the Dimarco series. Afterwards, I promptly devoured all her books in less than a week. Her books include the perfect amount of laughter, drama and most importantly, love. In the Dimarco series, Jack is the patriarch of the family; the father of all. In Untouchable, we are introduced to Jack's brother, Joe, who has his own brood of children. The story centers around his daughter Bailey, but wonderfully weaves in the storylines of the other characters in this new series. While the families are close, this family has a dynamic that is slightly different from Jack's family. This family consists of 3 girls and one son and is impacted by the fierce protectiveness the men feel towards the girls. I loved how the love between Chase and Bailey ties in and mirrors the relationship with Chase's parents. While so similar, the few noticeable differences are what matter most in their love story and gives it staying power. Bailey is such a strong female character. She knows who she is and what she wants, despite her young age. Even though there are times that she questions herself, she doesn't hesitate to grab hold of what she wants and chase after it. Chase has demons from his past that are preventing him from pursuing Bailey. I think the author did a wonderful job in conveying to the reader just how important a role those demons are to Chase and I could feel his indecision and why he's so hesitant to go after what he wants. Along the way, we also get to enjoy a few of the characters from the original Dimarco series as they are key players in this story. Overall, this is a book that I will love to read again. I'm reminded of why I enjoy Jennifer Hanks' writing and how she masterly weaves together a story that captures my attention until the very end. I'm impatiently waiting for her to write and release the next book in this series and read all about Cole's journey to love.

She did it again! There’s nothing that Jennifer Hanks could write that I wouldn’t read. Seriously. Not only do I spend my time dreaming about her next books, but somehow I always get sucked in at the very first word. The same is true for Untouchable.
I’ve been thinking about this couples story since reading Charlie. This book gives you all the feels that a great contemporary romance should give, and then some! And what’s a Jennifer Hanks book with out a little suspense sprinkled in and some darlin’s from none other than Jack Dimarco.
I am a sucker for “old fashioned” dating and romances and that is exactly how I feel about Chase and Bailey. It was incredible reading Chase’s character development. He had such an interesting backstory and I absolutely loved him! And Bailey… I didn’t think it was possible but I keep finding characters that I relate to. I feel like if you mixed Lucy, Charlie, and Bailey, I would be the result. Although, I wish that I was just as stubborn as Bailey in that she knows exactly what she wants out of life. I loved learning more about Chase, meeting even more Dimarco’s, and even learning about Jack and Joe’s parents. This is one book world I will never grow tired of and never want to leave! Cole- I’m ready for you and Paige to write your story!

It was so good to get back into the DiMarco's world and Bailey was a great character to follow in the first installment in the Game of Love series. It was good to see some of the other side of the family and I really enjoyed Chase.
There's the tension we expect from Hank's books although the stressors aren't as bad as some of her cousin's significant other's went through. An misogynistic coworker and the potentially detrimental office romance make for lots of interesting back and forth for Bailey. She and Chase are both crazy about each other pretty much instantly but both think it better to not get involved with a coworker even though Bailey doesn't work directly for Chase. As with these fated love affairs though, the two cannot stay away from each other. Their lives are quickly very intertwined and rewardingly so for the reader. Bailey is so cool, working to prove herself in her family's construction company. She's really good at her job and certainly her cousins and dad know she very capable and don't require her to prove anything but Bailey needs to do it for herself and the rest of her crew. And she does it well though as often happens at least one of her male coworkers can't behave himself. Even that situation is something Bailey feels the need to take care of herself. Sadly, her attempts to ignore then directly confront the jerk are not successful and ultimately end with her in a dangerous position.
The story, for me, had just the right amount of suspense and romance. There was a lot going on with both Bailey and Chase and his family and even some more relationships created between her sisters and Chase's siblings and father. All of this with Hanks good writing made for a great book with "all the feels".
Thanks to the author for the ARC.

This is a fantastic start to a new series! This one is also about the Dimarco family - their cousins. First up is Bailey, who has always wanted to work in the family business and Chase, their engineer. Bailey and Chase have an attraction that both have a hard time resisting. Chase keeps pushing Bailey away because of issues he has as a result of his mother leaving when he was young. Bailey is trying to prove herself in a position typically held by men, as well as figure out what to do with her intense attraction to the reticent Chase. I loved everything about this - from Bailey working through issues occurring in her job, to struggling with what is going on with Chase. Her sisters and Chase's siblings were also fascinating, added extra depth, and also fun. I can't wait read more in this series! This is probably my favorite yet from this author.

Book 1 of the series and I’m loving all of the characters and I’m already anxiously awaiting all of their stories! I loved Bailey and Chase! My favorite thing about Bailey was that she never wavered on what she wanted. So any times the heroine in the book is a little wishy-washy on whether they are staying in to fight for the relationship or walking away….but not Bailey and I loved her for it! Chase had some personal demons to work through and with Bailey by his side he overcomes! I loved the development of the other characters too…Ryder and Bree, Chase and Paige, Callie, and then there’s Bailey’s younger sister Harper….boy she’s gonna be a handful for someone lol!

What I love about this book is it is about a powerful woman, who loves working construction, but she refuses to allow the fact that it's a male dominant world stop her. Bailey is going to do what she needs to do to prove her worth on a jobsite, and ignore the Privileged males who want to see her fail. Chase wants to protect her, along with her brother and father, but he has such a visceral reaction to her that makes him keep his distance, she takes it as he hates her. Just like any of Jennifer's books she gets you in the feels with all the help of her side characters and the Dimarco family is like no other!

Wow! Great read!!
What an awesome start to a new series! I love the DiMarco world! Bailey is a relatable, independent, but loving heroine. While Chase has hang ups that get annoying, he is still swoon worthy, and I love their scenes together. The book had drama, plot twists, love, lust, sizzling chemistry, laughter, witty banter, and great characters that we know and love. I do get annoyed with Bailey, when she won’t name the guy who’s harassing her, because he is way over the line. But, this is a must read book, and I can’t wait for the next book!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A new series but a different branch of the Dimarco family. We still get to read about all the other charcters that we've grown to know and love. I really enjoyed Bailey and Chase's story and look forward to more on this side of the family tree.
