Under Construction (Blue Collar Alphas Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars 718 ratings

When Paige Brennan moves into her new apartment she doesn't expect it to come with the neighbor from hell…

His late night antics keep her up all hours, with every knock and bang made worse by their shared bedroom wall. When Paige finally bumps into the noisy night owl, she's determined to give him a piece of her mind, even if his broad shoulders and rogue grin leave her hot under the collar.

Stone Garrett is obsessed by the beauty next door, her smart mouth and dangerous curves driving him to distraction. She's way out of his league but he's hellbent on proving he can be everything she needs and more. Passions boil over after another late night exchange ends with Stone's hand down his pretty new neighbor's impossibly short sleep shorts. But does love exist beyond their shared bedroom wall? Or are they destined to only be an unforgettable one-night stand?

Warning: Heavy duty pickup trucks, chiseled, sun-kissed abs, and dusty jeans that hang just perfectly off the hips...Under Construction is a panty-melting ride through a sexy construction zone. 100% SAFE, sugary-sweet double epilogues, and a chuckle or two along the way... You'll never look at a man in a hard hat the same again! Enjoy! xo

    Stone Garrett is a dirty talking, alpha male. He is a construction worker, who gets under his neighbor's skin. Stone is very arrogant, smoking hot and is good with his hands. His nightly activities are putting him on the naughty list with his neighbor.

    Paige is a smart and sassy woman. She is not happy that her new neighbor is getting her from getting a good night's sleep. Paige is so mad that she decides to have a word with him, no matter how attractive he is.

    Stone and Paige are attracted to each other. Stone decides to make Paige his. Paige fights the attraction / pull between them a little bit longer. Once she gives in, Stone shows Paige how great they can be together. Yum!!

    Under Construction is a sultry and engrossing read. I laughed often while reading Stone and Paige's story. I loved the chemistry between Stone and Paige. 'Wink' I hope that there will be more in store (another book) with Stone and Paige. I would like to know what happens next for them. This story contains a romance, likeable characters, humor, sizzling sex scenes, a blue collar alpha male, feisty heroine, interesting storyline & a happily ever after. The story is told in alternating POV. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I highly recommend it to others. If you are looking for a steamy, quick read with interesting characters, then you should check out Under Construction.

    Overall Story = 5 Stars!
    Chemistry / Hotness = 5 Scorching Stars!
    POV = Alternating POVs
    Cliffhanger = No
    Alpha Male = Yes! Yum
    Recommend to Others = Hell Yes!

    Paige’s annoyance with her next door neighbor comes at an all time high when she can no longer stand to hear the moans and groans coming through the thin walls. When she finally meets Stone, his arrogant & crude behavior only irritates her more. Too bad she can’t keep her hands off him. This was a fun & sexy read with a guy who manages to push Paige’s buttons in every possible way. Looking forward to reading more from this author!

    Well constructed story. 😋 Great characters and plot. Just enough basic description of jobs but not a lot of other people just the two people finding love.
  • Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2024
    This novella feels like the literary equivalent of a Hallmark movie—sweet on the surface but ultimately too far-fetched for me to fully enjoy. I finished it, but I found myself cringing more than swooning. Their meet-cute felt overly contrived, her resistance to him was so brief it barely qualified as conflict, and the love nicknames? Let’s just say they were more eye-roll than heart-melt. And don’t get me started on the timeline—they're moving in together in under a month? That’s just not realistic. While it may appeal to readers who enjoy fast-paced, saccharine romances, it left me wishing for something with more depth and believability.

    This quick love story is fantastic! I loved the characters personalities and how they related to each other. Hate turned to passion to love to forever. You must read for the details in between 😉!

    Fast, fun, sexy as hell and all alpha. Loved it! It was over so fast but it was somehow paced just right! I love a quick read as a mother. But, I could have just as easily fell into this story as a full length book. These characters are explosive and easy to love! Great story!

    What a hurricane of romance. This book started out with a bang and never let off. It is the ultimate insta love story with a hot alpha construction worker and a firey vet. The secnes were hot, detailed, sweet, romantic and incredibley funny. I love Stone and his determination to prove to Paige that they may have only been together for a short time, but when a man knows he knows. This was the authors best work yet, so hot. It was fast with nothing lacking. Excellent work!

    I really loved reading this sexy lust to love romp-mance. Over the top in every way, but fun. The dual epilogues, were just sweet and the perfect HEA, that I wanted for this story.
