BLURB:

Bolivar Randy Heart (aka Brady) knows exactly what he wants next in life: the perfect wife. Raised in a strict traditional family household, he seeks a woman who is sweet, conservative, and eager to settle down. With his well-known protective and dominant streak, he needs a woman to offer him balance in a world where he relishes control.

Too bad the newly hired, gorgeous, rehab addict is blasting through all his preconceptions and wrecking his ideals… one nail at a time…

Charlotte Grayson knows who she is and refuses to apologize. Growing up poor made her appreciate the simple things in life, and her new job at Pierce Brothers Construction is perfect to help her carve out a career in renovating houses. When an opportunity to transform a dilapidated house in a dangerous neighborhood pops up, she goes in full throttle. Unfortunately, she’s forced to work with the firm’s sexy architect who’s driving her crazy with his archaic views on women.

Too bad he’s beginning to tempt her to take a chance on more than just work… one stroke at a time…

Somehow, some way, they need to work together to renovate a house without killing each other…or surrendering to the white-hot chemistry knocking at the front door.

I really loved Charlie, the heroine in SOMEHOW, SOME WAY. She’s feisty, talented, passionate, determined, slightly chaotic, and never backs down from a challenge or from her own vision and creativity. Truly a strong, well-written character. Her work on home renovation projects for Pierce Brothers Construction taps into her need to breathe new life into houses and make them a home again. She loves her work and can’t imagine ever giving it up. She’s in no way ready to settle down.

Brady, one of the partners at PBC, is exactly the opposite. He has his life, including what his future wife will be like, all planned out and fitting inside the orderly lines he likes so much. He’s certain she’ll be a woman who will happily stay at home with his babies in the home he provides for her and eagerly depend on him to meet all of her needs. Oh, and submit to him completely in and out of the bedroom. As you can imagine, his completely out of control desire and attraction for Charlie rocks his world. It’s bad enough when it’s an occasional interaction at the office, but having to work side-by-side every day… and she’s in charge?

The arguments… the sexual tension between these two was off the charts. Ms. Probst creates a nice build-up (pun intended) between the two that finally culminates in so much heat I felt a little singed. The dancing scene was artfully and passionately written. Brady and Charlie have many differences to decide if they want to overcome or not, sexual compatibility is not one of them. Great story.
