Bare Beginning
Jacob has a runaway mind that drags him down rabbit holes and Marwood is a man of very few words and no social life to speak of. The attraction is instant, but neither one wants to make the first move. Unless you count wearing snug spandex and breaking glassware the first steps in seduction?
Bare Beginning is a MM opposites attract, sweet heat short about two men who need to take a risk to start their story. This story is a stand alone spin off of the Built For You series.

Another short story in the Built series
The page count for this is apparently longer than for Bold Beginning but this seemed so much shorter to me, which is weird. In this, Jacob and Marwood have been side-eyeing each other for months before they finally talked, had a date that night, then slept together, all in the space of a few hours and the story was done. It was sweet but ultimately unsatisfying. In Bold Beginning, the characters meet, have a date the next day then sleep together that night and we see a bit more too, but I felt their connection far more.
That said, Jacob works at Built so he and Marwood will probably feature in future books in the series and I'd like to see more of them so it's not all bad.

A very short but sweet story as two men like each other but are nervous to approach for fear of rejection. It's cute how wary they are. It's part of a series, I haven't read any of the others, that did not spoil this for me, a touching read.

Was a cute read. Maybe a little too sweet for me but that could just be because it was a short read. I would like to read more from this author, specifically with the other characters that were mentioned. They seem fun!

it was quick but very short
This is a Built 4 U series Novella, a very short read which was like the wisp of a story. It was cute but very short. I wish it was longer and had more to it than one date.

Why was this so short!!! I really loved Marwood and Jacob's story, they were so sweet and totally into each other and then just as I was like ''yeah, they finally admitted how they feel, and their relationship can start'' the story ended!
I really hope that they will feature more in upcoming books as they were really a cute couple.

Sweet story, but too short for any real character or story development.
