********** ARC given in exchange for an honest review*********

Well Built is the third installment in a series by Carly Phillips and Erica Wilder and it is a fun fast pace read. I'm conflicted because I think this book might be better than the first two but I don't tend to love second chance romances...maybe Kyle is the character to change my mind forever!

This series follows friends that created and run Premier Reality in Chicago, and Kyle runs the construction side of Premier. After many years away from his hometown he goes back to build his mom the bakery she has been quietly dreaming about but before he can get to building he needs to bid on the perfect building. Kyle will be bidding against his high school sweetheart for the property, he has always regretted letting breaking up with Ella 10 years ago and he knew she was going to hate him for it.

Ella's dream of expanding her family store into the building next door was finally going to happen. She never suspected her old beau would outbid her and kill her plans. Now she has to handle not only the death of her plans but also she has to handle the chemistry between them as Kyle plans to be next door rebuilding the space for his mom...

Well Built is the third book in Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde's Book Boyfriend series. Each book can be read as a standalone.

It has been ten years since Kyle Coleman has had Ella Fisher in his arms. He and his high school sweetheart had a bad break-up in high school. But now he is back in his hometown to purchase a building next to Ella's family grocery store. And the building that Ella wants for her own. When Kyle outbids her, Ella is disappointed and goes to the city to see if he will sell it back to her. What she doesn't expect is for that trip about a building to turn into an one-night-stand with her ex. Or that Kyle wants more than just one night.

But with their shared history, is their relationship strong enough to handle the consequences of being together again?

Well Built is a sweet and sexy second-chance romance between two high school sweethearts that couldn't seem to move on from their young love. I really enjoyed that there wasn't a ton of unnecessary drama between the two main characters. You got a true relationship. Definite summer read!

Rating: 4 out of 5

** I received an ARC from the author in exchange for a honest review.**

Another great read from two amazing authors. Well Built is book #3 in the Book Boyfriend series and is an great second chance romance by Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde.

Kyle Coleman hasn't seen his first and only love Ella Fisher in 10 years. And when he buys a piece of property that she wants, she should be mad but realizes he's doing it for the right reason and not to hurt her.

My heart broke when I read why they were torn apart, and the hurt they endured the past 10 years. They have both moved on in life, but have never truly gotten over the hurt from their past.

I loved Kyle and his love for his mom and for not dwelling on the past and letting it bring him down. Ella kind of irked me with not standing up for herself when it came to her family.

This story had a little of everything I like, some angst, second chance love and of course hot as hell sexy time!

Kyle and Ella have some serious history, and just maybe a second chance at love. The connection between these two is so strong and the chemistry is off the charts

I love these two authors and one clicking on their books is a no brainer, I can't wait for the next in this series!

I love second chance romance stories and this one hits all the right marks. It's been 10 years since Kyle left town and the only woman he's loved. Misunderstandings and a loyality to her father caused Ella to tell Kyle to leave. They both try to carry on but just can't forget each other. When Kyle returns to buy a property that Ella wants, she is livid but deep down, knows that she still loves him. Her father refuses to accept Kyle into Ella's life because of what happened between Kyle's brother and Ella's sister. You have to read the book to find out what that is! LOL As time goes by, Kyle and Ella start seeing each other, but only at Ella's request that it's kept secret. When it all comes out to her father, Ella again choses her dad over Kyle and crushed, he leaves. I really hated her father and at times, I wanted to reach through the book and slap Ella upside the head.

This was a very well written story and kept me awake reading it. Will they get back together? Will her father get his way, like always or will Ella put her foot down and go after the only man she has ever loved? Get this book because you will get all the answers to these questions!!

I devoured this book in one sitting! So first off, yes this book is part of a series,but it can stand alone. We do get a little peak at the characters of the first two books, but they're not a big part of the book, just enough to whet your appetite.
Kyle is from "that family", you know the one, half it's members are trouble makers or sponges. He's not a bad person, just stuck with that last name.
Ella is the good girl from a good family, the one who does everything she's supposed to and doesn't make waves. She may have a bit of a wild streak in her, but that hardly shows when she's dealing with a selfish sister, ill father and no mother since age 13.
This is their story off what happens when a high school love is torn apart by misunderstandings and hurt feeling, then brought back to light after 10 years of growing and maturing.
The secondary characters are well developed, they help make the story as opposed to distracting from it. Can't wait to read the next book and see where everyone is when it's Connor's turn!

Carly Phillips and Erika Willde sure can write some steamy books...love them. Kyle Coleman comes home to build his mom the store/business she has always wanted but, in the process he knows he's going to hurt Ella. The girl that got away 10 years ago. Kyle buys the building next to Ella's dad's store out from under her in a bidding war at an auction. Ella sees it a possible pay from from old hurts from the past. not his intention at all..
Kyle and Ella have a history, good and bad... Kyle's crappy brother hurt Ella's sister and their dad blames all Coleman men for his family's hurts.
These two have some really combustible chemistry, but can it be enough to overcome all the other obstacles in their
way. like friends, family ties, and places of residence.
Hang on for some steamy love scenes and witty banter. Kyle's friends love to give him a hard time.
Can love overcome the old hurts and can Ella let go of her father's old feelings to have the life she wants.
great read with a good HEA.
Carly Phillips and Erika Willde sure can write some steamy book...love them

Well Built is Book 3 in the Book Boyfriend series but, it can be read as a standalone. Kyle Coleman and Ella Fisher’s they are getting their 2nd chance. Kyle and Ella were boyfriend and girlfriend while in High School. But, Kyle was not good enough for Ella at least that was according to Ella’s father. Kyle broke Ella’s heart. All because of Ella’s sister and Kyle’s brother. I can’t say why because then that would be a spoiler. Now fast-forward 10 years and they meet again. Not under the best of circumstances. Because Kyle is there to buy a piece of property that Ella wants. And, the story goes on from there.
I have said this before but, Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde do a great job writing seamlessly together. There is no way to tell who wrote what.

The series order is:
Big Shot – Wes and Natalie’s story
Faking It – Max and Hailey’s story
Well Built – Kyle and Ella’s story
Book 4? – I think this will be Connor’s story

I really enjoyed reading Well Built and I am looking forward to Book 4! I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Wow wow wow! Just when you thought this series couldn't get any better here comes Kyle and Ella. A second chance romance with enough steam and drama to keep you in your toes and enough redemption that you truly want them to get together and heal old wounds. Kyle is a real estate developer who likes to purchase old or run down properties and fix them up to resell. Ella is living in her small home town running her fathers grocery store but longing for something for herself. Both are planning on buying the property connected to the grocery store but Ella has no idea. Getting past the initial shock of seeing Kyle for the first time in years and losing her dream of buying the attached store Ella heads off to see Kyle and try to make him an offer to buy the property from him. Sparks immediately fly between the two and they restart their old relationship. Can they make it work for the long haul or will their pasts come between them and keep them apart? This is an amazing read and just as good if not better than the first two in the series. Can't wait for the final book and Conners story to come out! Well done Carly and Erika!

You never forget your first love. Even if you broke up with a big fight, you will always remember the sweetness of first love. You might even find ten years later when you meet him again that there is still a link, emotions, and attraction that cannot be denied.

The story of Ella and Kyle is heartfelt. They are now adults with careers growing. Meeting again only brings back the sweet memories and the reasons why they could not make it work the first time around. Now that they know better and are more mature, will they be able to bridge the gap and solve their problems and take this second chance?

Carly Phillips gives us another story we will not soon forget. Steamy, romantic, and most of all emotional, we are reminded the choices we make have consequences. Second chances do not come often. They are rare. When they present themselves, we have to be smart enough to solve the problems and take the chance to love.

I am voluntarily reviewing this book. I thank the author for sharing a copy of her book with me.

Title: Well Built
Author: CARLY PHILLIPS & ERIKA WILDE
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Rating: 4/5

This is book #3 in the Book Boyfriend series by the talented duo Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde it can be read as a standalone but each book is connected by the partners of Premier Realty.

A tale of a city boy and a country girl finding their way back together but family issues stand in their way.

Kyle and Ella have a bit of a complicated past amongst other things they were high school sweethearts who's relationship turned sour and now many years later they're brought together again and there's still clearly something between them, can these two rekindle what they once had or will they be broken hearted all over again? Well Built is their story.

A fast, fun, sweet and sexy second chance romance that was very well written with plenty of laughter and a few tears along the way making this an enjoyable read that I totally recommend.

OH MY EVER LOVIN' HOTNESS, Well Built by Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde was FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC! I can't seem to get enough of books written by these two authors. And Well Built had me swooning, sighing, dreamy, squirming and had me BEGGING for more. Kyle and Ella just BURN up the pages with their smoking hot chemistry and I couldn't enjoy a second chance romance more than I did with Well Built.

From the very beginning I was hooked and enchanted with this story. By the time I finished my eyes were gritty because I just didn't want to leave my eyes from the pages, just in case the characters did something without me. The storyline is utterly addicting. And these characters...DAMN I LOVED THEM! And the sex, lets not forget about the sex! It was sexy and seductive and incredibly sweet. I am IN LOVE with this story. This is a masterpiece folks, and I HIGHLY recommend this irresistible romance.

Well Built gets a SASSY AND SEDUCTIVE FIVE SHOOTING STARS! Its one of the BEST second chance romances this year!

I'm really enjoying the stories that are coming from Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde. They're fun and sexy and have just the right amount angst to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Second chance romances are quickly moving up my favorite list of tropes in romances. In here we have Kyle and Ella. They were together in high school until they broke up right before college when a huge blow up happened between their families (which had nothing to do with them). Flash forward ten years and neither have really gotten over the other and they have this spectacular night together but realize their lives are so different now that they might not really have a chance to be together. Will they try or will they get their hearts broken again?

I loved that Kyle wanted to push Ella for more. She was so guarded and her life is stuck in a rut. It was great to see her come out of that. Kyle was a sweetheart...enough said :)

Yet another sweet read from super duo; I love their writing style and the way they tell a story. Their characters are always on point and Kyle and Ella were no exception. The connection this couple had was undeniable, even after 10 years apart. The pace of the story was good and suited this second chance story. Kyle proved himself time and time again in this book and I did feel for him at many points through the story, he was a genuinely nice guy and had suffered due to the actions of others. Now Ella, she was sweet and completely selfless, always putting others before herself, if anyone deserved a HEA it was her, although she also suffered for the past 10 years, in my eyes she has to accept part responsibility for the decisions she made!

This story is laced with emotion which rolled off the pages, you could feel the heat between these characters. I loved the little glimpses of characters we’ve met in previous books, and there were a few giggles to be had too. Connor is still a mystery and I am so looking forward to his story, he may steal my heart from Kyle!

I devoured this book in one sitting! So first off, yes this book is part of a series,but it can stand alone. We do get a little peak at the characters of the first two books, but they're not a big part of the book, just enough to whet your appetite.

Well Built is the latest amazing story by Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde. This was such a sweet, beautiful second chance read.

I loved reading the story of Kyle Coleman and Ella Fisher. They were young love that was ripped apart because of family circumstances that neither one of them had any control over.

Now several years later Kyle is back and feelings that were buried are rushed to the surface. Seeing Kyle and Ella try to reconnect was both sweet and heart breaking. There were so much games played mostly by Ella that I wanted her to stop burying her head in the sand and just be direct. But I knew she made her choices for self preservation. Kyle didn't play games as such but wasn't as open with Ella as he should have been. I think family circumstances past and present kept these two from being as forth coming.

But it was sweet, sexy and smoking when the chemistry came alive between Kyle and Ella. Kyle's possessive dirty talking mouth drove me crazy! I loved it!

This is such a great series snd definitely anxious for the next one!

Erika Wilde and Carly Phillips did it again with WELL BUILT – a sexy and swoony second chance romance that gives you all the feels. This book proves again what a powerful and talented writing duo these two are (although Max and Hailey are still my favorite couple).

Ten years ago Ella and Kyle’s relationship ended badly thanks to issues between both families. He left to go to university in Chicago, while Ella stayed in Woodmont. Both could never feel the void the other left. Then they meet again, at an auction in their hometown for a building they both want to own. They fight, they argue, but neither can deny that their feelings still exist. Now they have to figure out if the can move past the animosity between them and concentrate on regaining what they once had together. Will City Boy and Country Girl find a way to make it work?

I enjoy this series so much. These guys – Wes, May, Kyle and Connor – I hold them close to my heart and am already anxious that it’s almost over. On the other hand … I cannot freaking wait for Connor’s story!!

I love this series from Erika & Carly! And this book is just more of that great stuff we keep getting from them! These two ladies sure know how to write a sweet & sexy romance! This is an awesome second chance at love for Kyle and Ella who haven't seen each other in many years since they dated in high school until Kyle comes back to town to buy something for his mom (sigh- He's so good to his mom) that Ella really wanted herself which certainly stirs up some passion. That passion leads to the old passion and love that has always been there between them. These two have serious chemistry that leads to some steamy sexy times but can they overcome their past and the things that tore them apart before? Can they overcome the fact that Ella still lives in the small town of Woodmont (Kyle's hometown too), takes care of her dad who doesn't like Kyle and has city anxiety, while Kyle now has a successful business in Chicago? Is their relationship "well built" enough to last this time??
Another 5 star must read!
I can't wait for Connor's story next!

You never forget your first love. Even if you broke up with a big fight, you will always remember the sweetness of first love. You might even find ten years later when you meet him again that there is still a link, emotions, and attraction that cannot be denied.

If you love sizzling hot and sexy - with feistiness then We'll Built is just for you. Grab it today it won't disappoint!!!!

Well Built is a second chance romance story about Kyle and Ella by the fantastic duo Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde. Separately they are fantastic authors but together you better be ready for a hot hot read! Kyle and Ella were high school sweethearts who let family loyalties go to far causing a caustic split. Fast forward 10 years to Kyle buying the building that Ella has had her eye on for years to help her to have her family store grow and sparks are ready to fly. Despite Ella's efforts to be 'just friends' the heat between these two won't be held back. Add to that another love match of their friends Nolan and Claire for an extra touch of chemistry and romance making for a read that you don't wanna miss. I can't wait for the next book from these ladies but until it's here I will be over here reading Well Built again!

Well Built is a sweet second chance romance that I really enjoyed reading. Kyle Coleman moved to the big years ago after his heart was broken by Ella Fisher. Ella loathes the big city and never left the small town they came from where she runs the family business. Kyle, in turn, becomes a real estate developer and is a partner in a very successful business.

Move ahead 10 years and Kyle is back home to bid on a building that Ella wants. Both have grand ideas for the building, but only one will win the auction. What happens when the big city boy is reunited with small town girl? Can the work side by side? Are they able to move past the problems in their past that caused them to break up?

Carly and Erika are amazing authors! Their books are light, fun and sexy reads that will bring a smile to your face!

I received an Advanced copy of this book for an honest review.

3.5 stars. This was a good second chance romance. I always love Carly and Erika's books, and while this wasn't my favourite of theirs, it is still a good read.

Ella and Kyle were high school sweethearts that had a big falling out. Neither married, and though they haven't seen each other for 10 years, they still care for each other.

This was a good book, but I didn't connect with Ella very well. She started out a bit flat, though she did grow as a character in the second half of the book.

Kyle was sweet, considerate, and sexy. Definitely book boyfriend material! I liked learning more about him and checking in with the characters from the first 2 books. I know my review isn't super positive, but this really is a good book! I just loved the second one more :)

Another great book by Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde!

This was a wonderful second chance romance. Ella and Kyle were high school sweethearts, but a couple of horrible circumstances left both their hearts broken. Then Kyle comes back to town to help make his mom's dream come true, and he and Ella rekindle their deep connection.

Kyle was so sweet and attentive, and cared so much for both Ella and his mom. While it took longer for Ella to admit her feelings, she never stopped caring about the man. Their chemistry was great, and I loved how sweet they were together. I also loved seeing some characters from previous books pop up in this story. These authors do a great job of keeping you entertained. I didn't want to stop reading until I finally got to the end.

This author duo has done it once again, they know how to write some angsty sexy steamy tales. I would give this book a 4 stars and highly recommend to others.

This is a second chance romance that will fill your heart and make you swoon!

Kyle and Ella had a love like no other, but when tragedy strikes and words are said that can never be taken back.. life will change, years will pass... but what happens when Kyle and Ella are thrown into eachother's lives once again? Will they connect and old flame that once had? Or will it all be for nothing?

Get to one clicking to see what happens in this book! I can't wait for Connor's story in Rock Solid.. you will anticipate it as much as me once you have had a little snippet of Connor!

10 years ago Kyle Chapman and Ella Fischer were high school sweethearts. Circumstances beyond their control ripped them apart.

Fast forward to current day and both Ella and Kyle are interested in purchasing the same property. Kyle buys properties and "flips" them into beautiful successful real estate. This one is no exception. Ella plans on buying this property to expand her father's market.

It doesn't take long for Ella and Kyle to realize the hot connection they had in high school still sizzles. Ella tells Kyle that all they can ever be in friends.. Sooner rather than later Kyle realizes he wants MORE than friendship!! He wants it all.

Ella's father proves to be a road block for the happily ever after. Kyle needs to give Ella time to figure out what he already knows... She's the only one for him.

A well written second chance romance. Kyle Coleman is rich now and no longer the poor boy from the wrong side of town. He blindsides his ex, Ella, and purchases a run down building to give his mom her dream, but shattering Ella's plans in the process.

Reconnecting as a result, Kyle and Ella discover the chemistry between them is still as strong as ever. The road to happiness is bumpy, but they deal with the past while trying to find their future.

I love Kyle as a hero. He's strong and not afraid to go after what he wants. Ella comes into her own in this book figuring out how to balance familial loyalty and her dreams.

I recommend this book to all contemporary romance lovers. Many thanks to the author for a review copy.

This is the third book in this Second Chance series. Each book can be read as a stand alone but believe me when I say you will want to read each one in the order they were released so that you will get the full effect of these girls and their men. OH and I do mean MEN!

I read while in bed mostly and I have to admit I woke my husband up a few times during this book talking out loud. Couldn't be helped. This is Kyle Coleman and Ella Fisher's story. They were high school sweethearts until things happened between their families that changed their lives.
Sadly it took ten years before things could had a chance to get corrected or would it?
I loved the first three books I can not wait until book 4 comes out for me to dig into.

A sexy reunion with another of the Premier Realty hotties! You'll recognize Kyle and his partners Connor, Wes & Max if you read either of the previous books in the series. I loved the sweet interaction between Kyle and Ella, and felt their past was explained well. Happy to see them get their happily ever after!

Heading back to his hometown of Woodmont, Illinois to work out a surprise for his Mom puts Kyle Coleman smack dab in the middle of Ella Fisher's life again. She is the one that got away, the one he's never forgotten, the one that is forbidden.

Ella's family responsibilities have been weighing her down for 10 years now, and she's dying for some relief ... even if it's only temporary, sinfully sexy relief!

Kyle Coleman has always been a lover, not a fighter. His one exception? Ella Fisher.
Both were lovers when they were in High School, but as always things that can go wrong do go wrong, and their Families became sworn enemies, making it hard for them to keep going as they had.
Move the clock forward 10 years, a chance encounter between Kyle and Ella bring on changes that neither foresaw, will they pick up where they left of despite the bad things that happened or will they finally make it past the past and admit their feelings for one another. Read the book and find out, its a great story well writen and it shows what can happen when two hearts meet again.

okay, back story ... i know both Carly Phillips & Erika Wilde ...i've promoted their books over & over, lost count how many times ...so they are so on my TBR list ...i got this book in my Romance Reveal Book Box, i think it was #6 for me ...but then i come to Goodreads and see that it is book #3 in the series, i am curious ...if that might help me in understanding this read ...not saying it was not a great read, 'cause it was ....but at times i felt kind of confused or lost? that doesn't take away from this being a high 4 star read for me ... i will be checking out individual books and joint book from these author again very soon. Well done!! Must read. Love the cover!! ( :

5 STARS

Once again this duo has written a great story.

I loved everything about this, Kyle Coleman is another one to add to your boyfriend list because he has it all heart, romance, sexy smart you name it. Our heroine Ella Fisher is someone I fell in love with right away. she had some spunk and fire and I love that she could challenge Kyle. This is a second chance romance with lots of laughter, love, respect and heart!!

When these 2 authors get together you know this book is going to blow you away and this one was no exception. I look forward to the next one out for these 2 !

I volunteered to review an Advance Reader Copy of this book for Rockstar Book Muse

This is a fantastic second chance romance that features Kyle Coleman and Ella Fisher. Most of the story takes place in the small town of Woodmont, Illinois, population 956. The circumstances of their break up were not about them but affected them nonetheless. He hasn't seen her in 10 years. Circumstances haven't changed much in 10 years and it's still impossible for them to be together. I understand the influence her ailing father has over her choices. All I can say is thank God for Betsy!

These authors really work magic with their characters and story lines. They are amazing on their own and just as incredible writing together. I look forward to ANYTHING either author releases.

This was perfect! I loved everything about it! Loved the characters, loved the storyline, loved the writing! Just perfect! I wouldn't change anything! Well Built is a second chance romance, so right off the bat I'm loving that because I adore second chance! Kyle is totally wonderful, and I love how he knows what he wants and goes for it, and doesn't play games. There's plenty of sexy times along with super sweet times, and Kyle and Ella have great chemistry! There's some bitter blood between Kyle and Ella's families, so the two have some obstacles to their happiness. Very entertaining read that I couldn't put down! I'll definitely read more by Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde! Great!

The writing team of Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde have put together another great story. Well Built is the 3rd book in their Book Boyfriends Series. Kyle Coleman and Ella Fisher are high school sweethearts with families that don't get along. A crazy night of heartache and misunderstanding sends them their separate ways but an auction 10 years later may bring them back together. They've never really gotten over each other. Kyle is awesome, kind-hearted and sexy. Ella is strong and puts everyone else before herself. Can they make it work? Great dialogue, chemistry and sexy times with friends that help along the way, lead to a second chance and an HEA you want to see happen.

Carly and Ericka just keep getting better! In this second-chance romance story, neither Kyle or Ella have seen each other in 10 years since they broke up. Kyle is back in his hpmetown to buy a property for his mom, the same property that Ella has been wanting for years so that she can expand her fathers grocery store. Ella is taken off guard when she realizes who bought the property, now that fate brought them back together is their love strong enough to survive outside forces, and can they make compromises in order to be togethet? I absolutely loved this book and want a Kyle of my own! Can't wait for Connors book. I received an arc and am voluntarily reviewing.

Carly and Erika have to deliver anything less than amazing when they write together and Well Built is definitely no exception. Well Built is a brilliant story packed with to curling passion, enough drama to make you happy that you aren't living the story, and enough passion to have your heart fluttering from beginning to end.

Kyle and Ella are sworn enemies and when life throws them together they will either have to learn to put the past one other people's feelings aside, or risk losing their second chance at love. This story was fun and sweet a d steamy. Trust me, you are not going to want to miss this one.

Well Built is a wonderfully written second chance romance.
I have not read the other books in the Book Boyfriend series so I can attest to the fact that this is a completely standalone novel. There's a nudge here and there pointing to the other partners in Premiere Realty and it was enough of a taste that I want to read their stories as well.
I loved Kyle and Ella's story. And true to life, I felt bad for all of the lost time. But the past made them into the people they had become and reinforced the fact that they never fell out of love with each other. Life happens.
I will definitely read the other books in this series!

Kyle and Ella's story is my new favorite in the Book Boyfriend series. I love a good second chance romance, add in a touch of enemy to lovers and we've got a keeper. I enjoyed both Kyle and Ella and couldn't help but root them on and see them back together.

Phillips and Wilde continue to provide readers with fun, sexy romances that keep the pages turning. I'm hoping to read more and more from this dynamic duo.

Erika Wilde and Carly Phillips are an explosive combination. With Erika's spicy dialogue and Carly's blend of complication and emotion, Ella and Kyle set fire to the pages. Kyle creates his own brand of smooth from brash antics to suave words, he has the moves to make a woman forget herself. Ella is the spark that lights him up. She's a good girl that knows how to work her inner bad girl. Well Built gives a well written nod to the seductive while going for broke with some sweet romance.

Kyle and Ella second chance romance was steamy and a little cute. Ella had real issues of taking care of herself (emotionally) because of guilt and misplaced obligation. With a little insight from Betsy and a little tough love from Kyle, her head got put on straight. Facing her fears and following her heart was all that was left.... was it worth it?

Well let me say, Carly and Erika did right by Kyle and he met his match or rekindled with his soul for three months. Him and Ella fit just right and I enjoyed this book from beginning to end.

I love Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde separately, but together they are even better.

Kyle and Ella's story is one of my favorite types, second chance romance. Circumstances tore them apart at a young age, but a decade later their attraction and chemistry are still undeniable. I felt Kyle's frustration with Ella and her stipulations for their relationship. I was so happy when Ella had her AH-HA moment and did something about it right away. I truly enjoyed everything about this book and highly recommend it to other readers.

I love reading Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde collaborations, you can always guarantee a laughingly hot and sexy read and this was just that.

Kyle and Ella have a fantastic chemistry the pages are almost smoking, it's a second chance romance but with added pressure from family feuds. I don't want to give anything away but I was gripped from the first page and wouldn't, that's right, wouldn't put it down until I finished. It was that good.

I received an advanced copy and I voluntarily leave my own honest opinion

This is a great second chance romance. I was instantly sucked into the story. I must say at the very,very beginning I thought I wasn't going to like Kyle because of what he was doing, but his motives would soften anyone's heart. Ella is the one who got away and he's never forgotten her. You can feel the connection between Kyle and Ella. That strong pull won't let either of them go, but will family one again come between the two? What Kyle does for Ella is truly romantic and even in the epilogue as well.

Well Built is a great second chance story by two awesome authors. Kyle and Ella had a past and now 10 years later Kyle comes back to town and throws everything that Ella had planned down the drain. But Ella will do what she can to try and convince Kyle to give her whatvshe wants. Will Kyle and Ella be able to work out a deal in business and in their love life? This is a definite one click. Both Carly and Erika are amazing writers and wrote another great story that you should definitely one click.

I freaking adore this author duo! Kyle and Ella's book was amazing. I got the best of both world's, second chance romance and one of my favorites duos.
