Summary: 
Eve can juggle work, school and a fixer-upper house just fine with a little help from YouTube. Well, she could, if her beloved cat, Thor, would stop getting into trouble—like getting stuck behind the walls. Thankfully, plumbers make house calls at ridiculous-o’clock in the morning.

Enter Brent who not only has all the power tools she needs, he looks like the God Thor. A mountain of muscle with movie-star hair, shining green eyes, and a perfectly scruffed, chiseled jaw. Just great. She doesn’t have time for all the lusty neediness rising where it should not be rising.

Eve reminds herself and her weakening knees that she’s a strong, independent woman determined to make it without anyone’s help. But as more renovation and cat-astrophes pile on, she finds her fingers doing the walking to call Brent to her rescue.

And she has to decide if keeping him at arm’s length fits her life plan, or if it’s the biggest miscalculation she’s ever made.
It doesn’t help Thor seems to be in cahoots with Brent when it comes to foisting romance on her.

An opposites attract, smoking hot, mayhem and madness, romantic comedy. Oh, and one very naughty Maine Coon cat.


Review:
Random find when looking for something cute on the Amazon. 

Eve can juggle it all! Well....until if it wasn't for her cat. Thor decides to get stuck behind the walls. Thankfully, plumbers can make house calls. Enter in the plumber...Brent....who seems to have it all. Good looks, handy, and likes animals. There is lust but they don't have time for it. 

This is technically book 2, but I believe book 1 was about a different couple so no loss for me since IDK who they are. 

Now...this started off well enough but....I got to page 80 and I stopped caring. I can't tell you WHY, but it was a struggle reading 20 more pages. I got to 107 and decided I was doneso. Nothing majorly wrong that I can point at and be all, "Ah yes." I just....didn't care. I ended up only liking Thor. 

In the end....DNF for me. Maybe this can have a second chance one day. But not for meeeeee.

Ha, the cat antics do sound fun. Yeah, sometimes a book just falls flat.

The kitty was adorable. But I had to throw in the towel
