Average rating3.5
Ella's life is about to be hit by a wrecking ball... On the surface, Ella has it all. A great job, a penthouse apartment and the perfect boyfriend, Lee. There's just one snag: their relationship has to be kept secret due to their employer's strict rule about not dating colleagues. When Lee quits to join a competitor, Ella discovers they haven't been as discreet as they thought and she finds herself out of a job. Stuck in an apartment she can't afford with a man she's beginning to suspect loves himself much more than her, Ella's life quickly unravels. A job offer could be her ticket to a new start, but it's miles away on a construction site, an industry she knows nothing about. Can Ella prove everyone wrong and make a go of her new career? And will guidance from foreman Noah help her build a new, even better life for herself? Perfect for fans of Sophie Ranald, Catherine Walsh, and Mhairi MacFarlane.

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
possible spoilers idk?
I'm not quite sure how I feel about this book. Well, I do. I didn't really like it.
I thought the blurb was interesting, and the plot seemed good, so I had a couple of expectations. however, I was not expecting anything that actually happened.
-by 40%, the main characters hadn't even met yet.
-by 75%, we're already at the third act conflict.
-by 85%, they're saying I love you but then breaking up?
-by 90%, everything is resolved.
-the romance felt like more of a subplot, even though I don't actually know what the actual plot was. The romance didn't feel big enough to be the main plot, but neither did that “mystery” or whatever that was.
-i don't really know anything about the mmc Noah. He was just there. and then they were in love? idk.
the few things I did like:
-i really did like the fmc Ella. She was confident and knew what she wanted and fought for it.
-i liked the project manager aspect of it all, it was way more interesting than I thought It would be.
-i loved the dynamic between all the workers at the construction site. Especially Ted. he was my fave.
The pacing of the book was extremely odd. it also went by so fast. I read the entire thing in maybe 4 hours maximum. If you don't mind a super fast-paced book and a bunch of random characters just being there, then I guess you can read this book?
