Review- Searching For Perfect by Jennifer Probst

Summary-

The up-and-coming matchmaking agency Kinnections is the hottest thing to hit Verily, New York—just like Kennedy Ashe, social director for the service she owns with her two best girlfriends. A coach, consultant, and cheerleader rolled into one super-sizzling package, Kennedy creates dream dates, encourages singles to shine, and never refuses a challenge—not even Nate Ellison Raymond Dunkle, rocket scientist, nerd extraordinaire, and Kennedy’s newest client.

Kennedy vows to work her magic and transform this hot mess in a lab coat with a disastrous relationship track record into the most wanted man on the Verily dating scene. If only she could turn the wand on herself . . . 

Though she radiates confidence and sex appeal, Kennedy harbors deep-seated insecurities from a tormented past and lifelong struggle with weight issues. When she realizes she and Nate are cut from the same cloth and might be perfect together, can Kennedy learn to let her heart lead the way? Or will her fears sentence her to the sidelines as Nate finds love—with someone else?

Review-

I like Jennifer Probst as an author. She always writes feel good romances and I enjoyed her Marriage to a Billionaire series. While I had found the first book in this series to be okay, I was expecting more out of Searching For Perfect. Sadly, it did not meet my expectations.

Lets start with the good first. Nate our hero is a rocket scientist and really clueless where love and relationships are concerned. He is direct and thinks there's a scientific solution for everything. Nate was one sexy nerd! He was really sweet and completely smitten by Kennedy, even though she was his match maker. I liked reading about a nice guy for a change who was genuine about his feelings.

I didn't really like Kennedy. Kennedy has a seemingly perfect life. She has worked extremely hard to get where she is but she is bored of the monotony. So when Nate comes to Kinnections she takes finding him love as a challenge. Kennedy also has a lot of issues with insecurity. With the way Kennedy's past was shown I expected her to be nicer but she was really mean at times. I didn't get her behavior and I didn't like her very much.

The scenes between Nate and Kennedy were hot. They have chemistry and the attraction required but I didn't totally see their reasons for being together. I wanted a deeper connection between them than just the looks. What I really had issues with though was the dog collar scene. It disturbed me and it is a big fat NO in my book.

It was really nice seeing all the characters from the previous books. My love for Wolfe still remains strong. I am so damn intrigued by his character and I think I keep reading this series just to get glimpses of him in between. Searching for Perfect was an okay read for me.

Review-

All or Nothing At All is the final book in Jennifer Probst's Billionaire Builders series. I have read all the books in the series and I enjoyed them. I didn't LOVE any of them but they were good enough reads. The stories are well written and the romance is nice. All or Nothing At All is the story of Tristan and Sydney and the build up of their story was started right from the first book. So while I did enjoy the book it didn't meet all my expectations.

Let's start with Sydney. Sydney has been working for Pierce Brothers Construction right from the beginning. She was an integral part of the family and always felt at home with the Pierce clan. Sydney has also been in love with Tristan since she was a kid. But she's keeping a secret that could tear them apart. I liked Sydney. She was sweet and sassy and she just wanted Tristan's love and affection.

Tristan in the middle Pierce brother. He has always been the peace keeper, the one who keeps his calm. But sometimes he can be too cold and try as he may he can't get Sydney out of his head. Tristan was a good guy but he definitely had his flaws. He viewed Sydney too harshly for her mistakes and he took his time forgiving her.

Sydney and Tristan have a past. They were together when they were young. But when Tristan's mother died the Pierce family fell apart and all Tristan wanted to do was get away from the small town. Even if it meant leaving Sydney behind. The chemistry between Sydney and Tristan was really good. They made for a very compatible pairing and they were genuinely into each other. The timing was wrong before though and they have a lot of obstacles in their path.

I obviously didn't like the secret Sydney kept but then I also didn't like Tristan's behaviour in some parts. I also did not like how the Pierce family alienated Sydney after the secret was out as if the years and years of trust meant nothing. I found Sydney's daughter Becca to be adorable. Jennifer Probst likes romance really well. Though some of the tropes are cliche they seem to work well and it all works out in the end. So while All or Nothing At All was not one of my all time favourites it was still a good enough read.

Blog Tour- All or Nothing at All by Jennifer Probst

“Probst’s final book in her Billionaire Builders Series is a gut-wrenching, intensely emotional, second-chance romance. The fast-paced dialogue vividly details every emotive scene…The stars and little girl costar are unforgettable, and the series tie-up is exceptional.”

Review- Somehow, Some Way by Jennifer Probst

Summary-

Bolivar Randy Heart (aka Brady) knows exactly what he wants next in life: the perfect wife. Raised in a strict traditional family household, he seeks a woman who is sweet, conservative, and eager to settle down. With his well-known protective and dominant streak, he needs a woman to offer him balance in a world where he relishes control.

Too bad the newly hired, gorgeous, rehab addict is blasting through all his preconceptions and wrecking his ideals…one nail at a time…

Charlotte Flowers knows who she is and refuses to apologize. Growing up poor made her appreciate the simple things in life, and her new job at Pierce Brothers Construction is perfect to help her carve out a career in renovating houses. When an opportunity to transform a dilapidated house in a dangerous neighborhood pops up, she goes in full throttle. Unfortunately, she’s forced to work with the firm’s sexy architect who’s driving her crazy with his archaic views on women. 

Too bad he’s beginning to tempt her to take a chance on more than just work…one stroke at a time…

Somehow, some way, they need to work together to renovate a house without killing each other…or surrendering to the white-hot chemistry knocking at the front door.

Review-

I have read the first two books in the Billionaire Builders series by Jennifer Probst and I enjoyed them. So I was quite excited to see that Brady was getting a novella too- he's not technically a brother but he might as well be one. So I jumped on the opportunity to be a part of the blog tour for Somehow, Some Way. I'll say it is completely not necessary to have read the previous books in this series to enjoy the novella but there are recurring characters and it's always nice to know their back story.

Okay, so confession time! I do not enjoy novellas very much. Like, I like them but I prefer full length novels to novellas. But I surprisingly did like Brady and Charlotte's story. Let's start with Brady. Brady is the architect who works for Pierce Brothers Construction. He has been with them since forever and is like a brother to them. But Brady is kind of set in his ways. He wants a traditional wife and a conservative family. I overall liked Brady but sometimes I found him annoying. His views on women were archaic and though I know he changes as the novella progresses I was completely satisfied with him.

Then we have Charlotte. Charlotte works in Pierce Brothers Construction and she grew up poor. She loves renovating old houses and basically hates all kinds of waste. She's a free spirit, not afraid to speak her mind and basically the complete opposite of Brady. The ten year age difference between them doesn't help matters any. But I liked Charlotte. She was true to herself and admitted when she fell in love with Brady.

Brady and Charlie may be opposites but they did attract. Their chemistry was good and Jennifer Probst is an expert romance writer. She manages to pull together various threads of the story while making the romance blossom. Though this is not my favourite read to date by Jennifer Probst it still managed to entertain me for a short amount of time. I liked Somehow, Some Way and I absolutely cannot wait for the next book in the series!
