Slave to the rich and the rude, cosmetic surgery receptionist Serenity Holland longs for the day she’s a high-flying tabloid reporter. When she meets Jeremy Ritchie — the hang-dog man determined to be Britain’s Most Eligible Bachelor by making himself over from head to toe and everything in between — Serenity knows she’s got a story no editor could resist.
With London’s biggest tabloid on board and her very own column tracking Jeremy’s progress from dud to dude, Serenity is determined to be a success. But when Jeremy’s surgery goes drastically wrong and she’s ordered to cover all the car-crash goriness, Serenity must decide how far she really will go for her dream job.
I really enjoyed Build A Man, and will never be able to look at paisley patterns in the same way again! Serenity is a Jaffa cake addict, determined to make a big break into journalism, but currently working as a receptionist at boyfriend, Peter’s, cosmetic surgery clinic. Peter shows more affection to his cat than to Serenity. Jeremy’s arrival at the clinic looks as though it will provide Serenity with the story she has been waiting for. Until things go wrong!
Serenity kept me laughing all the way through the book. I loved the way she talked about the Botox Bitches and the names she gave them. Peter took himself far too seriously and Jeremy was an all-round nice bloke. Serenity had a total lack of conscience – her aim was to be a journalist and NOTHING was going to stop her. Her quick thinking seemed to get her out of one hilarious problem… and drop her straight into the next one. Patient confidentiality and her growing friendship with Jeremy were all put on the line in order to provide stories to the tabloid newspaper.
This was a fun, amusing read and I am looking forward to the sequel – Construct A Couple due out in May.
