Hammer Nails edition by Andria Large Megan Hershenson Contemporary Romance eBooks

I found Hammer and Nails to be a light, enjoyable read. It was easy to follow, humorous, and filled with likeable characters.

What I enjoyed most about this book was that both characters had flaws, and they each made each other better. Nolan started off pompous and rude, and he didn't like Harley at all. And Harley just didn't care. She was brash, sarcastic and funny. But more importantly, she was unapologetic about who she was. There were times when her character was a bit annoying and even gross, but it fit her. She grew up with three older brothers and her dad, so she was bound to have some less-than-ladylike qualities. What I loved most was that she had no reason to change and Nolan realized that. He began to see that she was great the way she was and his opinion was what was wrong.

Nolan was an interesting character. He starts off so anti-hero that at first you just can't see him and Harley together. They couldn't be more opposite each other if they tried. But it worked for them in a big way. In fact, their differences emphasized Nolan's backwards thinking, something he learned from his dad. But unlike his dad, he saw the faults in that mindset and through Harley, he changed and grew as a person. It was nice to witness a stubborn, stiff man become carefree and loving. By the end of the story I was proud of him and the way he stood up for himself.

The secondary characters were also amazing. Harley's dad and brothers were so funny and loving, and the way they accepted Nolan for who he was, not who he used to be, was great. The bad guys, mainly Nolan's father and Roman, were written well. They all added to the story and had a realistic quality to them. Nolan's father didn't change just because it would have wrapped everything up nicely. It made his character more believable.

Overall, I enjoyed this story. There were a few things that didn't work for me, but they were small in comparison to the things I liked.

Hammer Nails edition by Andria Large Megan Hershenson Contemporary Romance eBooks Reviews

Nolan Hammerstein is in the market for a contractor to renovate his new house. Harley Jameson runs her own contractor business. Sounds like a perfect match until you meet Nolan and Harley…or Nolan and Harley meet each other.

They are complete opposites in the reverse gender stereotype roles. Harley is a tomboy raised by her dad and three brothers. Nolan is used to the good life, raised by his rich, old-fashioned misogynist father. While Harley loves the hockey team Nolan’s father owns, there isn’t love at first sight when Harley and Nolan initially interact. Despite their lack of professional maturity, the pair surprisingly comes to have a relationship with a great deal of maturity. This isn’t a story filled with unnecessary misunderstandings or knee-jerk reactions. I really liked that about their romance; it’s something you don’t see nearly often enough.

As the title suggests, there’s plenty of….um….hammering and nailing to keep it sexy as the seemingly mismatched pair drive each other “up a wall.”

It’s a light-hearted romance with just the right amount of conflict. While the alternating first person POV narration could benefit from a little variety in sentience structure (there’s a lot of consecutive sentences that start “I….”), the story is still fun and an enjoyable read. And while there were a few places that Harley was a little over the top, I still appreciated how she was depicted as a confident, independent female. (There’s no insecure, crying, weak girl here).

There’s a great epilogue (I really liked the end). This is a standalone story, but I definitely see potential for a series as Harley’s brothers would be fun to read about too!
This book was fun and cute! Seriously, freaking adorable!

Nolan Hammerstein is well on his way to becoming an uptight, sexist chip off the ol' block. His father is the owner of the Boston Brewers Hockey team and is a widower with some pretty firm and antiquated views on a woman's place in a man's world, and when the story opens, Nolan seems like he's not far off from being the same type of guy.

Enter Harley Business owner, construction worker, beer-drinker and full-fledged potty-mouth. She's hired to renovate Nolan's house from top to bottom and she completely turns his world around--much to his father's disapproval.

Okay, so this story has lots of light-hearted fun and steam--it's not serious or angst-filled or even possessing much in the way of conflict. But it's unique to me in that we have MC's that aren't really conforming to the norm of romance characters. Nolan isn't quite an Alpha. He's learning about some manly stuff (like putting up sheet rock) from Harley, and he doesn't piss circles around her when other men get ideas.

Harley doesn't come like a porn star at the drop of a hat (she's normal), she burps and cusses and holds her own in a male-driven career and she cannot walk in heels for s***.

She loves to tease him about his last name and MC Hammer becomes one of their jokes. Though at first he's really not amused.

Excerpt
"I move onto the Sprinkler then the Cabbage Patch all while rapping MC Hammer's You Can't Touch This. Going by the lovely shade of red that Nolan is turning, I'm pretty sure he's about to blow a gasket."

This story is just pure, light fun. 4 stars!
This was my first book read by this author and I can honestly say I can't wait to read more from her!
Hammer & Nails, what a great story about a girl Harley who runs her own construction business and is hired to do work for the entitled Nolan Hammerstein, who's father owns the NHL Team Boston Bruisers. To say they don't hit it off is putting it mild, she's a spit fire who takes nothing from no one!
This book got 5 stars from me because I just could not put it down, the main characters were amazing! On to the next one from Andria!! Enjoy!!
