~I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads Review Team~This is the third book in the Love Under Construction series. Please read all the books in order so you can get the full effect. Also, reading The Groundbreaking will help A LOT, it is a backstory for every character in the series. I went into this book knowing it was about Steve McCoy, I actually really liked the guy in all the other books, but in this one, I went from liking him, to hating him, to liking him again. In previous books we find out that Steve likes to have his own sub and that he owns Eden’s Gate a BDSM club but we know nothing else about him or his past and there is a reason. Kelly was introduced in book 1 and she has a past that still bothers her to this day, her form Dom passed away, his kids think she is a gold digger and she is left broken hearted, without her Dom, a Dom/sub contract with intent to take care of her forever and loneliness. This leads her to Steve’s office at his law firm. After Kelly finds out that Steve owns a BDSM club she goes for a visit with him and then an idea forms in both Steve and Kelly’s heads, but neither are sure the other is up for it. They are! They agree to do a one month Dom/sub relationship. Steve makes it clear it will only be ONE month, nothing more. That is the only thing that is crystal clear. Neither one of them bring up their pasts or anything that could cause a “trigger” during their month together. BIG mistake! Each one eventually had that one “trigger” tripped and things go downhill and then back up hill. It is a rollercoaster of emotions and at times you want to slap each of them, and then the next minute you want to hug them. Things go bad, then get better and then go to worst case scenario. It was an amazing story and emotional too. There was also a side story with one of the other family members from a prior book and it will catch you off guard. Some people say the book is a cliffhanger. I don’t feel as if it was a cliffhanger. Steve and Kelly had their story told and it was amazing and yes this side story isn’t finished yet but since this series has all the characters at some point come up in each book for whatever reason, it is more like reading a mini-series and you are just waiting for the next episode. It was more like a “to be continued” for me than a cliffhanger. I have loved each and every one of these books. I think the next book is the final book in the series and I will be so sad if that is true. I have enjoyed all of these characters and feel like they are part of my family. I have read books in the past that I have really liked/loved and enjoyed but this series of books is so touching and well written I will be sad when it ends and it will feel like I am losing a part of my family.Characters: The characters are so well written; you can’t help but fall in love with all of them and feel like you are right there in the moment with them. These books make you feel like you are reading about a real life family and when they hurt, you hurt, and when they are happy you are happy.Sex: oh yeah….H.O.T.Religious: noWould I recommend to others: yesMore than one book in the series: yesGenre: Romance/BDSMWould I read more by this author: without a doubt yes!!!~Wicked Reads Review Team~
