Built

Built is a fantastic book that I was quickly caught up in. Every time I pick this author up I end up very impressed and Built was no different for me. I really enjoyed the unique set up we have between our rough and rugged hero and the prim and proper lawyer. These two couldn't be any more different and boy did I have fun with the contrast and dynamics that build in their relationship. Sayer, our heroine, is used to keeping people at a distance. But Zeb is the first man that makes her want more than the contented life she is living. But Sayer will need to face her past and inner fears and unresolved issues. Zeb, is not ashamed of who he is, and puts his heart on the sleeve for Sayer despite the distance she continually puts between them. Then we have a little twist with Zeb learning that he is a father, to a five year old little boy that is going to be put in the system unless Zeb can prove that he can be the best father this boy can have. Zeb, is a hero that really impressed me in this book, and I felt like he was the center of the story. You see how much he is willing to fight for his son, to prove to him that he is loved and deserves to be happy. Seeing father and son come together in this book was heart felt and intense and gave me happy vibes through the whole book.
Even though I felt like the romance took a back seat to the story at times, I honestly didn't mind. I was captivated by this father and son relationship. I had such a fun time seeing all the characters come together in this book, and the way that Zeb and Sayer find common ground with each other and end up balancing each other out in all the right ways. Sayer was a heroine that despite the way she views relationships and intimacy at times, what I admired about her is the way she accepted Zeb as he is. She admired him for who he was and didn't desire to change him...gotta love a woman who accepts her man from the beginning like that. This story won my heart in many unique ways and this author is making me fall more in love with her writing than ever with BUILT. Overall this is a romance that is sexy, endearing and poignant.

One thing was clear: getting my son in my life on a permanent basis wasn’t the only thing that was going to take a hell of a lot of work on my end. If I wanted the girl, whatever version of her I could get my hands on, then I was going to have to fight for her as well.
