ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 25, 2017
When it comes to women, sexy, well-built Kyle Coleman has always been a lover, not a fighter. His one exception? The sassy, tempting, smart-mouthed Ella Fisher. Her family and his are sworn enemies, which make the two of them off-limits—despite the fact that she’s inspired some of his dirtiest, most erotic fantasies for years. But when the lines between animosity and lust become irrevocably blurred one fateful evening, their one night stand leads to a very unexpected consequence—that changes everything between them forever.

REVIEW: WELL BUILT is the third installment in Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde’s contemporary, adult BOOK BOYFRIEND erotic, romance series focusing on a tight knit group of friends who own and operate Premier Realty in Chicago. This is residential and commercial redeveloper Kyle Coleman, and grocery store owner Ella Fisher’s story line. WELL BUILT can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Kyle’s business partners make cameo appearances throughout the story.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Kyle and Ella) WELL BUILT focuses on the rekindling relationship between real estate redeveloper, and grocery store owner Ella Fisher. Kyle and Ella were high school sweethearts but words said in anger, pushed Kyle out of his hometown of Woodmont, Illinois and into the busy city of Chicago, a bustling city he would soon call home. When a business opportunity, ten years later, presents itself in Woodmont, Kyle takes advantage of his real estate finances. Enter Ella Fisher, Kyle’s only competition for a coveted piece of Woodmont property, and the only woman who would ever claim Kyle’s heart. What ensues is the rebuilding romance between Kyle and Ella, and the couple’s struggle with a potential long distance relationship when Ella refuses to compromise due to issues back home.
Ella Fisher is a hometown girl whose life revolves around work and her ailing father. Rekindling her relationship with the only man she would ever love forces Ella to look at the bigger picture including the potential to step out of her comfort zone and into the life she has always wanted. Kyle Coleman struggled with the loss of Ella Fisher when words said in anger forced the couple in different directions. Ten years would pass but in all that time Kyle never forgot about the woman who would always own a piece of his heart.
There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including Kyle’s mother Patricia Coleman, and his childhood friend Nolan Roberts; Ella’s father Charles Fisher, and her best friend Claire Myers, as well as Charles’ homecare aid Betsy. We are reintroduced to Kyle’s business partners at Premier Reality: Wes Sinclair (Big Shot #1) ,Max Sterling (Faking It #2) and Connor Prescott. Connor’s story is next in Rock Solid.
WELL BUILT is a familiar and predictable tale; a story of family and friendship; of second chances and a love that never waivered in spite of the distance and years. The premise is entertaining and sexy; the characters are colorful and dynamic; the romance is passionate and intense. My only issue is the heroine’s underwhelming personality but perhaps it was intentional as part of the story line premise.
