The Renovation by Mika Lane

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A beautiful redhead lives next door, and her roof was falling in. We couldn’t wait to show her our tools. 

I had 30 days to save my money-pit of a house from the bank, and I knew better than to wish for a miracle. But one wandered into my life in the form of four hot, sexy men. 

This hot, over-the-top romance involves four hot alpha dudes and a strong woman who gives them a run for their money. If you love outrageously naughty stories as a way to indulge your wildest fantasies, then this is for you.

The heroine: Jayma – she works at an advertising agency as a receptionist, and she gets dumped by her attorney ex-boyfriend. Jayma is having trouble paying her mortgage because the house is in her name, but she was paying it with her boyfriend and without his higher salary, she doesn’t have the money. She just got a letter saying she is soon going into foreclosure and her house is in need of work. They were going to fix it up and flip it for profit, but they never got around to fixing it up because of Lance’s hours. Lance also hadn’t paid his part of the house payment for the last few months.

The Heroes: Carter – he lives next door to Jayma and has always admired her from afar. He sees that her house has a cracked foundation and dry rot. He is a contractor who took over for his father after he died.
Tanner – he works for the same advertising agency as Jayma. He didn’t know Jayma well, but thought she was cute. He has a great sense of humor and likes to make people laugh.
Wyatt – He is a plumber and who had been off on the other side of the world backpacking when his dad got alzheimer’s. He took over the family plumbing business and was trying to make a go of it. Though the financials weren’t great.
Dig – best friends with Carter, they like to date one woman between the two of them. He sells real estate for a living.

The Story: Jayma figured that since Lance was gone now, she would start to go out more. She was asked on a date by Carter and to a happy hour with Tanner and others at the office. She wanted to forget her troubles, so she decided to be the life of the party. She wanted to move up the ladder at the advertising agency, so she chatted up all the folks at the happy hour. She then got asked out by Wyatt after her water heater breaks down.

As far as reverse-harem romances go, I kind of like them better when the men are all friends before they start going after the female. Since the chances of random men being willing to share one woman are way beyond realistic. It seems to me that guys that are good friends and comfortable with each other are much more likely to be cool with something like that. So, I liked that dig and Carter had experience like that but not that Tanner and Wyatt were random other guys.

This audiobook was told in multiple points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Jillian Macie and Damien Singer. I like Jillian Macie’s voice. She sounds age appropriate and is great at showing emotion through her voice. I don’t think I have heard Damien Singer before, though he does a good job even if his voice isn’t as deep as I like for romantic heroes.
