Title: Renovated

Author: Nikki Kiley

Publication date: August 5th, 2021

Summary: They’ve been hired to remodel a mansion. Will they end up getting a room?

Marisa Sanchez has grand designs for her future. After taking over her grandfather’s construction firm, the successful vlogger and civil engineer is about to take the next step with a new show on the Home Design Network. But she’s not pleased to find out she can only have the lucrative gig if she agrees to work with a handsome rival.

Levi Chance takes the responsibility of providing for his brothers seriously. So when his biggest client asks him to come into the spotlight to co-host a new program, he reluctantly accepts. But he fears the pretty, camera-loving partner he’s been assigned might bring his top-notch reputation tumbling down if she can’t deliver the goods.

Discovering her teammate is quite capable, Marisa battles her attraction to him as she ambitiously turns the project upside down. And the more Levi works with the smart Latina, the more he worries he’s about to push the “no sex” morality clause in their contract into forbidden territory.

Will Marisa and Levi’s fixer-upper turn into a happily together forever?

Renovated is the charming first book in the moving Chance Brothers contemporary romance series. If you like sparkling attractions, comedic moments, and steamy action, then you’ll love Nikki Kiley’s well-built romp.

Review: This is a softer version of what I would call enemies to lovers. I absolutely loved this book and it grabbed my attention from the very beginning. Marisa is a strong independent woman who knows exactly what she wants. To make a name for herself, save her grandmother's business and to continue to run her grandfather's business. She has so much passion and know-how that it makes me feel like I could be doing some home improvement. Levi knows what it takes to keep his family's construction business above ground. He is determined to do that and to keep his brothers away from Marisa. I really want to see the story for Noah. I mean yes I would love to see this turn into a series for all of the brothers I love a good brother's series but if I had to pick just one more to be written it would be Noah's. I love all of the unexpected twists to the story. On my final note I just have to say this book makes me want to watch HGTV so bad!
