In the sequel to Build a Man, Serenity and Jeremy have now been together over a year. Things are going fantastically in her love-life and on top of that, she is beginning a new job as fact checker for a popular newspaper and is positive she will be a hot-shot reporter before too long. Serenity is so careful not to make waves in her perfect world, opting to protect Jeremy from things that might upset him or disrupt their bliss, but in doing so, she might just lose the relationship as well as her career in journalism.I was very excited to read this book as I absolutely devoured Build a Man but in my honest opinion, Build a Man was better. That's not to say that I did not thoroughly enjoy Construct a Couple because I did, however, it took me a large of chunk of pages to really get into it and I was a bit nervous I was not going to like it. About 50% in, the excitement began to build, the story moved at a much quicker pace and I remembered how much I really enjoy Talli Roland's storytelling. Whereas Build a Man was, to me, a 4.5-5 star read, Construct a Couple is a solid 4 stars. Looking forward to the third installment, as well as all new books by Roland!
