Review

Oh my, Emmett, sweet, hurting, grumpy Emmett, how I love thee and want to wrap you up and adore you.

Grumpy men are my kryptonite, but as a chronic pain sufferer, my heart bleeds for the fear of his prognosis, the pain, the depression, and the desire to hide from the world. Thankful for the little bar family that loves him fiercely as he is and will do anything for him.

Enter James, a bit of a wandering soul who shows up for the security job at the bar. He definitely looks the part of a bouncer, but that boy has the sweetest heart. And what he quickly realizes is that what he wants the most, is to see Emmett smile and laugh. He wants to be the one to cause that.

I love how sweet these two big men are together, and I especially love how James pulls Emmett out of his shell and helps him break down some of his walls. He’s incredibly patient, and it’s perfect.

This is a fast-moving love story, but it’s satisfying and wholesome.

Synopsis

A story doesn’t need a villain when you are your own worst enemy.

Emmett

I shouldn’t be jealous of my best friend’s relationship. Can’t I just be left alone, but not lonely? I used to run my bar and felt on top of the world. In pain and partially paralyzed, I am not the man I used to be. Honestly, I am downright miserable, trapped in a cage of my own making and the only man that’s shown any interest in me for years works for me and drives me crazy. I know I have to make changes and start to live again, but I’m terrified.

James

Another new start with a new job along with some very inappropriate thoughts about my new boss. He is grouchy and gorgeous with his crooked smile. I know he thinks being with me would be a mistake, but I think some no strings attached fun is exactly what he needs. I never stay in one place long, but being around him makes me want to put down roots and have him tie me to the tree.

Becoming Built is a contemporary MM Romance with a bar owner who hides from everyone including himself and a fun loving slightly kinky bouncer who wants to spice up his bosses life.

This book involves a main character with a severe case of Bell’s Palsy, suffering from social anxiety, depression, and has compulsive tendencies. His case has permanent facial paralysis and pain, though not all individuals with Bell’s Palsy experience the same. Love may not fix, but it can fill the heart.

Join the employees and patrons of Built Bar as they find love for themselves and each other in the Built for You series.
