Nailed Down by Eden Butler, Chelle Bliss

5.0

Big thank you to Chelle and Eden, along with their team, for providing me with an ARC to read to give my unbiased review.

I’ll be honest here so we’re on the same page. I recently, by recent I mean end of last year, read Takeover which is a sneak peak novella-ish introduction to Acquisition by Chelle. I didn’t give it a glowing review because I honestly wasn’t impressed.

I am so happy I was given the opportunity to give Chelle another chance and I am also proud of myself for not passing on this opportunity based on a previous let down. I cannot begin to explain to y’all how impressed I am with Nailed Down. Hands down, one of the best romance reads out there. Everyone needs to give this one a whirl. Chelle and Eden have such a way with words. It’s legitimately magical.

This is a story of friends to lovers with such an angsty, frustratingly sexy path. Nailed Down is seductive torture. It was so hard to put down, I didn’t want to stop reading! I even read it while in the waiting room at the doctors office because I couldn’t put it down. #NoShame

Nailed Down is a contemporary romance meaning it’s here and now, this day and age. I am a huge fan of HGTV, my fiance makes fun of me for it, so I loved that the main characters were the two leads on a renovation show. I really, really enjoyed that Kane was a handyman, not your average billionaire, CEO, you know the type.

I would say the bucket list left for Kit is half sexy, half normal. The whole thing isn’t drop your panties crazy, but parts are. Can we also talk about how primal Kane is though? When they say friends to lovers they mean it. Kane is so protective of Kit, I don’t understand why it took them so long to see what was right in front of them.

I am so glad these ladies decided to turn this into a series of three books. I can’t wait to keep reading. They have me hooked!
