New York Times and USA Today Bestseller

From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Marked Men books comes an electrifying new spin-off series,Saints of Denver, featuring all the characters fans have been dying to read about.

Sayer Cole and Zeb Fuller couldn’t be more different. She’s country club and fine-dining, he’s cell-block and sawdust. Sayer spends her days in litigation, while Zeb spends his working with his hands. She’s French silk, he’s all denim and flannel.

Zeb’s wanted the stunning blonde since the moment he laid eyes on her. It doesn't matter how many smooth moves he makes, the reserved lawyer seems determinedly oblivious to his interest—either that or she doesn't return it. Sayer is certain the rough, hard, hot-as-hell Zeb could never want someone as closed off and restrained as she is, which is a shame because something tells her he might be the guy to finally melt her icy exterior.

But just as things start to heat up, Zeb is blindsided by a life altering moment from his past. He needs Sayer’s professional help to right a wrong and to save more than himself. He can’t risk what’s at stake just because his attraction to Sayer feels all consuming. But as these opposites dig in for the fight of their lives, battling together to save a family, the steam created when fire and ice collide can no longer be ignored.

Review

“Crownover weaves a tale that touches every emotion and keeps the pages turning.” — Liliana Hart, New York Times bestelling author of The MacKenzie series

“Sexy. Emotional. Engaging. Jay Crownover has done it again with BUILT.” — K. Bromberg, New York Times bestselling author

From the Back Cover

Sometimes a real hero lets you save yourself . . .

Sayer Cole and Zeb Fuller couldn’t be more different. She’s country club and fine-dining, he’s cell-block and sawdust. Sayer spends her days in litigation while Zeb spends his working with his hands. But none of that has stopped Zeb from wanting the stunning blonde since the moment he laid eyes on her—even if the reserved lawyer seems determinedly oblivious to his interest.

Sayer is certain the rough, hard, hot-as-hell Zeb could never want someone as closed off and restrained as she is, which is a shame because something tells her he might be the guy to finally melt her icy exterior. When he shows up at Sayer’s door needing her professional help, she’s both disappointed and relieved that she won’t get the chance to find out just how good he could be.

But as they team up to right a wrong and save a family, the steam created when fire and ice collide cannot be ignored.

“Crownover weaves a tale that touches every emotion and keeps the pages turning.” —Liliana Hart, New York Times bestselling author

I don't think anyone can top Captain No Fun as my favorite book boyfriend, but Mr. Fix-It came pretty damn close. This was an amazing story all around and is now one of my all time favorites. I cannot wait for the rest of this series.

My Thoughts
I am not going to lie... I was dying to get my hands on a copy of this book. I am a huge Jay Crownover fan girl and have read everything she has written. So when I got the chance to meet her in Chicago I was all over it, and even more exciting I scored a copy of this book early. I am so happy I did. This book was phenomenal. I highly recommend Jay's other books, but this one is different because it has so much more heart, so much more swooning and just so much more. I wholeheartedly give this book all of the stars and want everyone to read it.

On to the book it's self. When we first met Zeb and Sayer in Rowdy's book I was intrigued by them both. I mean Zeb was a hot bearded construction worker with a heart of gold and some mistakes in his past, but you could instantly tell we were gonna see more of him when he was ready to fall. And Sayer was this quiet, reserved, fierce little thing that was fighting for a real relationship with a brother she didn't even know existed not to long ago.

It is apparent from that first meeting in Rowdy's book that they are circling each other, but getting to see that interaction from their points of view made me swoon a little. Zeb is an ex con and Sayer doesn't treat him like that is all he is, which is a new and welcome experience for him. She sees him, the real him and not just the convict.

Sayer hires him to work on her house and they do a flirtation dance the entire time he is working, but it never goes any further. Sayer begins to miss him and his presence in her house and tracks him down to help her do some more work on her house. Their back and forth dance continues and is so sweet and full of sexual tension it is magnificent to be privy to.

Zeb gets some news and needs Sayer's help in the courtroom. They start spending more time together for the case and the sparks fly. He is not going to let her brush him and his advances any longer and she soon succumbs to his charms. These two are super hot together and Jay writes some of the best steamy scenes, but Sayer has a hard time with them becoming something more. It is completely heartbreaking when Zeb has to leave her to let her work out her issues on her own and find her way back to him. This book had me in tears for them, and I never cry over books. The writing is just that powerful and beautiful.

Zeb is completely swoonworthy throughout the entire book. Whether he is talking dirty, being sweet, or somewhere in between he is one of my top book boyfriends. And Sayer is so complicated and beautiful both inside and out, that most of the time I wasn't sure if I wanted to hug her or shake her to get her out of her own head. Together they make one of my favorite book couples ever.

Once I started reading this book I could not put it down until I was finished.I'm calling it now, this book will be in my top of 2016 list without a doubt. I can't wait to see what Jay has in store for Avett and Quaid in the next book Charged, out May 24.

I discovered Jay Crownover last summer and listened to all her books on audiobook in quick succession. I loved them, I thought they were absolutely sensational, and I was sooo excited for Zeb and Sayer's story! But Built is the first of her books I've read in print form, and never before did I realize was a jarring transition it could be.

As for the story itself, it was fantastic! A very interesting, heartwarming tale that would have been truly phenomenal if stylized differently. Sayer Cole, an attorney specializing in family law, grew up with a cold, emotionally abusive father whose high standards she'd never been able to meet. Even after his death and she moved to Denver to connect with her long-lost half-brother, her behavior and self-esteem is haunted by those standards and the echoes of his scolds. They mess with her head and seriously hamper the relationship she yearns to develop with Zeb Fuller. It's easier to deal with if she just freezes him and her feelings for him out...but when he unexpectedly needs the help of a top-rate family lawyer, and she immediately goes to his aid, the sparks she tried so hard to tamp out flare to life, and she can't resist him anymore. But she can't fully love him, either, because she doesn't love herself. She needs to exorcise her father's sneering ghost in order to discover her own personality and claim her individuality, so she can love Zeb to the best of her ability, because he deserves nothing less.

I found Sayer entirely realistic and relatable--familiar, even, because I have personal experience with some of her issues. Zeb seemed a little less complex, had a little less internal conflict, in my opinion, but he had his fair share of struggles and I fell in love with him more and more as I read. Crownover's characters always have such an impressive level of maturity, responsibility, and self-affirmation that I can't help but admire them.

But as for the writing, I cannot remember reading a novel with so much exposition (which is writing primarily intended to convey information or explanation). Most of it was written in active voice, but after a while it didn't matter--it sounded like passive nevertheless. I don't know if her other books were like this; hearing a book read as an audiobook makes it all sound like dialogue, you know? Because you hear someone saying it and don't have to imagine it being said. There was so much exposition that I seriously--no joke--skipped page after page of block text and started reading again as soon as I spotted a line of dialogue. I never felt like I was in the scene with the characters, more like I was at a bonfire with them and being told their story. My hand itched to get a red pen and mark parts that would be so much more engaging and entertaining if brought to life with dialogue and action.

Also, her paragraphs could be huge, some of them almost as long as an entire page (and the print was pretty small). It was daunting, and I'd get bored halfway through and just skip to the next one. It's easier to swallow smaller pieces, like when chewing your food ;). Maybe she has somewhat of a literary-type writing style that I'd never noticed before. There were also quite a few typos that threw me off. A missing "I," a missing "I've," a "has" that should have been a "had," and a verb phrase comprised of "can beginning," to name a few. I understand typos happen, but usually they're just the rare missing period or end quote. These errors tripped me up as I read, and in some subconscious way I lost trust in the quality of the work. If that makes sense. I'm sure it's not Ms. Crownover's fault, but it's unfortunate.

Also, I loved Sayer's unique name, I love all of Crownover's unusual character names, but for the life of me I could not stop saying Sawyer in my head. :)

Overall, I highly, HIGHLY recommend Jay Crownover's books, including this one. Her characters are so deep and somehow her fiction always feels strongly rooted in fact. Her characters have real-world problems and real-world emotions and real-world personalities without crossing the line of being too heavy, burdening, or boring to enjoy. She's seriously talented in her ability to walk that line.

Review:
I bought this book on a whim. I originally planned on reading another book from Jay for Apollycon but my eyes fell on this one and I decided to read this book instead. I am glad I did. I really liked it. When I started reading this book I was sure I would give it 5 stars and that I would buy it to get signed. Sadly something happened that took that feeling away from me. Nothing bad! Nothing like that, just something I personally don't like that much. If you want to know what then have a look at the spoiler section above.
Other than that, I still really enjoyed this book. Zeb is a great guy, he is loyal, strong, and quite charming. I liked Sayer as well. I could relate to her and what she struggled with.

What is this book about:
Sayer is the sister of Rowdy, who is from the Marked Man series. She is a lawyer and when she found out she had a brother she dropped everything and moved to be closer to him. She meets Zeb, a friend of Rowdy's, who has his own reconstruction company. Zeb works really well with his hands (pun intended), he buys and restores houses. Sayer hired him to restore her house. Ever since meeting him Sayer couldn't help but think about the big and hot guy. But she knows it could never work between them. That doesn't stop Zeb from pursuing her anyway. Zeb want more than just her though, he got himself in a situation and needs Sayer's expertise to help him.

What did I like/love:
I love Zeb. He is such a great guy. Yes he has been through allot in his past but he has done his best to move past that. I could totally relate to what he did and why. Anyhow, he was really charming and very patient. Instead of going after Sayer relentlessly he gave he the time she needed and made her come after him if she wanted him. I really liked that. Zeb deserved to be chosen. And it really shows that you can't force people to get better or see them the way you see them. You can support them and be there for them but at some point they have to do it themselves.
I really liked the other characters in the books as well. Makes me want to continue the Marked Men series. I started it but haven't read past book one yet, don't hate me.
I'm also curious about Poppy's story. She deserves a happy ending.

What did I dislike/hate:

Apesar do passado difícil de Sayer ela e uma das personagens mais bondosas da série, só que para ela é muito difícil não ser perfeita, não atender ao que se espera de uma advogada e da filha de seu pai, e se envolver com um cara como Zeb, com o passado e a bagagem dele pode não ser uma boa ideia. Mas ela não consegue se manter afastada fisicamente, emocionalmente é outra coisa, ela não quer e não vai deixar ninguém penetrar as paredes que colocou em seu coração para não sofrer.

Para mim foi um alento ler algo novo da autora, já estava com saudades de sua escrita, de suas tramas e de seus personagens. O livro atendeu totalmente a minha expectativa e mostra um lado do direito de família que nos faz suspirar, e cair de amores por Zeb, que acaba de tirar Rowdy da sua posição de segundo lugar em meu coração.

Autant j'avais été un peu déçue par les derniers livres de la série Marked men, autant celui-ci qui inaugure la série des Saints of Denver m'a totalement emballée.
Zeb est un personnage auquel on ne peut pas succomber avec à la fois son côté Bad boy repenti et homme qui ne fuit pas devant les responsabilités.
Sayer m'a un peu énervée par moment mais j'ai quand même beaucoup apprécié leur histoire.
