Overall Enjoyment: 5
This entire series is fun, sexy and well worth the purchase of all the books. It will be sad to get to the end of the series. The characters are sexy, likeable and hot. It is also great to see a well written story of an interracial couple devoid of silly racial stereotypes. This is a great book as is the others in the series.
Excerpt:
Day 20
Toby blamed his realtor. For everything. He hadn’t meant to end up with two houses at the same time. His rule had always been one house at a time, but when she showed him the rundown Victorian, he hadn’t been able to resist.
Now, with the contractor standing in front of him, spewing excuses, he was regretting that decision.
“Mr. Bartlett,” Toby interrupted. “Mr. Bartlett, we’ve spoken about this twice before. We’re on a deadline. We have ten days left.”
Bartlett sputtered. “Look, we ran into some snags...”
Toby sighed, scrubbing his hands over his hair. He needed a trim; the curls were getting out of hand. “Some snags? Mr. Bartlett, have you looked at this floor?”
Toby was already kneeling down, staring at the mess one of Bartlett’s men had made of the bathroom tile. Bartlett reluctantly knelt down in front of him.
“The grout is already cracking,” Toby said, pointing to the offending jagged, black lines. “And you can see where the tile is uneven. That’ll be starting to crack next. Did you not replace the subfloor before you started?”
“The subfloor was fine,” Bartlett objected.
“The subfloor was broken and uneven,” Toby countered. “And it’s making a mess of my tile.” He stood up, brushing off his slacks. “I’m afraid we’re finished here, Mr. Bartlett.”
“Finished? I’ll just get the boys back to work, then.”
“No, Mr. Bartlett.” Toby sighed. Why couldn’t all contractors be as good as Ven? “You misunderstand. You’re fired. I’ll pay you for today, since your crew has already been here several hours, but I don’t want to see you back here tomorrow.”
