Jason graduates from college with a degree in Engineering. Despite diligent job hunting and hundreds of applications he’s finally forced to take a job in a mortgage company pushing paperwork. A guy’s gotta live though, so while he has some income coming in he can still look for an engineering job. But then, the mortgage company starts laying off people and since he was the last one in he’s the first one out. A coworker gives him the idea to start his own handyman business after listening to his tales of his own home renovations. With his mother getting him some jobs from her friends, he slowly gets off the ground. Little does he know there will be some yummy benefits in this new business of his.

Jason is a hot 23-year-old guy doing handyman work, so he doesn’t starve. It’s not the engineering field he loves, but he does enjoy the work and meeting people. When the meeting people turns out to mean having a few hot encounters with female clients, he discovers the extra benefits off being hot, young and good with his hands.

My only complaint about this story is that there are few word contractions and it makes the story, the dialogue in particular, sound stilted at times. Other than that this short story is well-written and hot. Yes, some of the encounters are a little on the ‘this would never happen in real life’ side, but that’s what fiction is for, to take us away and dream of ‘what if’. And what hot ‘what ifs’ they are! Yum!

Book 2 has Jason slowly building his handyman business, adding clients and meeting many new people in the business community.

This book picks up where book 1 left off. Jason is getting more clients thanks to his mom and by word of mouth from the few clients he’s already had. Some of his clients are women who show in interest in him sexually while one he completely misreads for a funny moment. He’s learning it’s not all roses owning your own business, but he’s not doing too badly for himself so far.

The hot moments are off the charts. *fans self* The problem with the lack of contractions in the writing continues just enough to bother me, but not enough to want to give up reading about Jason. Woo doggy! He’s a hottie! A handyman business is a great job for the Hero to have because of the wide variety of situations he can be put into. I look forward to reading more about Jason.

  1. When you say he's getting more clients thanks to his mom ... I picture her pimping him out - lol! I'm in need of a hottie handyman. Are those even real? :D

    1. When I wrote that I thought it sounded better in my head, but I left it because she is telling all her friends about his handyman service, not the other stuff. LOL! And I haven't seen a hot handyman yet. Which is a bummer. ;)

  2. I like that it's realistic in the fact that he graduated with engineering and the job market has him pushing paper. I know a person that went through the same thing.
    Of course Jason sounds so much better thought ;)

    1. I like that Jason isn't a horn dog. He doesn't pass up an opportunity, but he's not actively being a 'player.' And he's hot and good with his hands. ;)
