Build: Gillian Archer’s Build is the first offering in her A Bad Boy Snowed in Romance.
Rachel and Austin are thrown together by circumstance but their connection is immediate. I liked how the brothers and Austin’s extended family are introduced to the reader, as well as Rachel’s son Wyatt and her mother and and the importance both their families play in the story. While both Rachel and Austin come with their own baggage which caused some of ups and downs it’s all worth it to get to their HEA.
I received an advance reader copy via Netgalley.

This is the first story in a new series and Austin Burns and Rachel Tannenbaum are snowbound at Lake Tahoe and have to make the best of it. Wildly attracted to each other, both have issues of their own and working them out might just be the end of their new relationship.
While I haven’t read a lot of Gillian Archer, I know enough to say I will like it and I did. It was refreshing to see characters who become famous to be regular people, family fights and all. While I felt there were some small issues with the storyline, I don’t feel they detracted from the story or are worth a mention. What I can say is it a good romance read - take a chance - you won’t regret it!

Excellent start to what should be a fun new series. Both the main and secondary characters are fun and interesting and I can't wait for more of these over the top brothers. Loved the banter between the characters and the chemistry between Austin and Rachel was sizzling. Both of the characters had moments where you wanted to smack them but overall I wanted to see them find their way. I would definitely recommend this very enjoyable book.

I enjoyed this book very much. There was a bit too much back and forth, I like you, I hate you, going on, but Austin and Rachel were very good together and the love scenes were hot. It was nice that both the H and h figured out what was important in the end.

Loved this book! It’s one of the better books I’ve read in awhile. At first, I didn’t like Austin that much. He was kind of an ass. But he ended up being a great guy to Rachel and her family. As far as Rachel, I liked her sometimes and other times I didn’t. I loved how she was a great mother to her son though.
Would definitely recommend this book!
I received an ARC from Netgalley for my honost review on this book. Thanks Netgalley!

BUILD is my first read by Gillian Archer and I was definitely not disappointed that I gave her a try. The first in a series about brothers who build custom motorbikes; this is the eldest brother, Austin’s story. A natural born protector, Austin takes his role as the eldest seriously, and can’t help but exhibit those protective attributes when someone is in need.

Rachel is a single mother, with no time for romance. She definitely does not have any interest in a tattooed, over-protective, bad boy, sexy biker. But time in confined spaces can change a person’s outlook, and Rachel is going to need to protect her heart.

The story has an engaging plot, well-developed characters and interesting world building too. Emotions are high a lot of the time, but there is never any doubt about the chemistry that ignites whenever Rachel is within Austin’s orbit. So, while common sense says “run, and run fast”, the heart often has very different ideas. BUILD is a fabulous beginning to this brand new series and the sneak peek into book two, only whets the reader’s appetite for more of the Burns. I for one can’t wait!

Rachel, a single mom raising her 3 year old and helping her paralyzed mom works 2 jobs. She’s running late to her last cleaning job in the mountains where she meets Austin, a motorcycle building stud muffin who’s just received some bad news and has run away to his friend’s cabin. They get snowed in and decide to have a 1 night stand. Their relationship develops after being stuck for 2 days and learning more about each other.

I liked Rachel’s character. She’s stressed and puts her son and mom first. She’s somewhat insecure, but is strong standing up for herself and her family. She’s also pretty confident in bed too.

Austin is super hot and is definitely a dick early on, but learns to harness his softer side through the story.

There’s some sex obviously, but well written with steam, but not overly gratuitous. There’s a great story that’s more than just, “hey, let’s hook up and have a great relationship from there”. They have to work through their real world problems to see if they can work.

I cant begin to explain how much I liked this book. This book centers around two individuals who have so much baggage between them but they are doing everything in their power to rise above it and protect those that they love.

Austin is the oldest of 4 brothers and have been the protector his whole life. There has been sacrifices made that has set him on a path. Things were done to his family when he was younger and he will never be able to get over it. We the reader find out very quickly about his inability to cope with things being thrown is way. He tend to go within himself and drink.

Rachel is a single mom who is just trying to make ends meet and be the sole provider for both her son and mom. Even though life is tough for her, she is a pretty upbeat person who desperately loves her son and want to do nothing but protect him.

These two get snowed in one weekend and lose themselves in each other being they can shut the world out. When they dig out, that's when they find out if they can remain together and move ahead. A couple false starts and both of them giving a little made this a really enjoyable read.

An engaging story of stuck together people who fall into insta-lust and must later build on that relationship to grow into love. Austin and Rachel are a couple you can relate to. They have their ups and downs and battle through adversity. I really liked that not everything came easy to either one of them. I love family stories and the Burns brothers are stories I want to continue devouring. Oh, and the sexy times are not bad either.

**I received a copy of Build from XpressoBook Tours and Net Galley in exchange for a voluntary and honest review. The opinions expressed below are mine alone and not solicited in any way.**

Build by Gillian Archer is the first book in her Burns Brothers series about a four brothers (Austin, Ryan, Nathan and Dylan) who own a custom build motorcycle business. This is Austin and Rachel's story. I have read all of the author's True Brothers MC series and loved them. However, this one was a bit different and is a solid 4.0 stars. I'm curious to see which brother gets their story next.

Rachel Tannenbaum works two sometimes three jobs to keep a roof over her families heads. With a preschool age boy, her deadbeat ex who doesn't help financially and her mother not being able to work due to a car accident she works a lot to keep the bills paid. When her newest house cleaning job takes her to Lake Tahoe during a snow storm she doesn't expect to get snowed in with Austin Burns who while he's on a reality cable series is trying to have a weekend off to deal with the parole of his father. But will both of Austin and Rachel decide to live a bit and see if there weekend of fun become permanent?

Austin Burns works with his brothers who can be testy and trying frequently but when Ryan tries his patience with lateness plus a botched paint job for the West Coast Kings becomes the last straw. When he finds out that his dad is going to be released on parole, he escapes to Tahoe and his friends cabin. But his weekend of a drinking and movie with Blue his dog soon will include Rachel who worries about missing her son and keeping bills paid being snowed in prevents her from working her jobs. But Austin is determined to prove to her that he can help her shoulder the heavy burdens of her raising a little boy and caring for her mother will they both find a family and love that will give them what they both need?

I wanted more from the story. More time with them together coming together as a family. More brother time. More time in the motorcycle shop.

Love the brothers and looking forward to their stories. I see this book as a prologue to the series.

This is the first book that I have read by author Gillian Archer and I will admit that the synopsis and cover are what grabbed me right off the bat. But,

This new series focuses on the brother Burns and their custom motorcycle shop. I love all things motorcycles, so I was excited to read this book!

This book follows Austin, the oldest Burns brother. This book had angst, swooniness and there are redemption and forgiveness in this story. The perfect combination!

I can't wait for more books in this series and more Burns brothers- plus I want to check out more books from this author!

Austin is the oldest of four and has been taking care of his brothers his whole life. He finds out his father is about to be paroled and he runs away to be drunk. Enter Rachel, a single mother who is the cleaning lady at the house he is staying in.
Now add in a blizzard. I-80 is closed meaning they are snowed in together for two nights. Can you guess what these get up to?

I enjoyed this book, but I have a lot of unanswered questions. Questions that might get answered in the next book (I’m guessing Ryan and the blonde), but I just don’t know.
*Sigh*

I do recommend this book. I just need some answers. :)

Rachel works hard to support her young son and invalid mother. One of her jobs is cleaning houses so when she runs into Austin who is staying at a friends luxury cabin she's surprised. She recognizes him from his reality TV show where he and his brothers custom build motorcycles. He's going through a crisis and she's trying to get her life together so they have a lot in common. They get snowed in and begin a hot one/two night stand that turns into more. Enjoyable romance.

I received an arc copy of this book from NetGalley for my honest review. As a fan of this author’s True Brother series I was excited for the opportunity to read this book and boy was I not disappointed. If you ever get snowed in this is what you dream could happen. After getting some devastating news Austin escapes from his motorcycle building business demands and stays at a friends house to get drunk and unwind. There he meets Rachel who’s cleaning the house. It was a bit of a rough start for the two with Austin acting like an a**, but the heat between the two ignites quickly. This is a instaromance/relationship with a lot of heat andsteamy scenes but the relationship blooms from there. As we know you can’t be snowed in forever and soon reality intrudes with a bit of a bumpy road but in the end Austin really shows that his attitude is just a front and he is willing to work for the relationship. I think this is a great start to a new series and recommend this book. I can’t wait for book #2. 5 stars

Rushing down Tahoe to drink away his troubles after discovering the news that his father would be paroled soon, Austin suddenly awakens to find Rachel, the hired help who sets his heart ablaze with one look. Their romance starts off shaky and the past lingers close by, and with the overall of flow of the story, it was hard to put this book down.

Overall I was highly impressed by the writing style, concept of the entire series and the realistic characters. You were able to feel the strong connection of the leads and learn about their backstories which obviously explain why the developing relationship was so touch and go. Was enjoyable to read and I look forward to reading the next part of the series with the next Burn brother: Ryan.

I loved this book! What an exceptional story that really holds your attention throughout.
Austin is the ring leader of the brothers, oldest and feels the need to be the one to hold everything together. After some disturbing news he flees for a mental reprieve and finds something unexpected.
Blue is such an awesome dog. I love the role he has in this book, almost like a therapy dog. Super sweet and add an element of relatability to the book.
Rachel, is a overworked, single mom who is trying her hardest to not let her world spiral out of control, while also helping to care for her mom.
So much heat in this book, I’m surprised it didn’t melt the snow around them at the house in Lake Tahoe. The connection between them was great, it was more than just hooking up and it was great to read about them developing feelings for each other.
After reading this book I thought the writer sure didn’t like these characters. They have went through so much in their backstories to get where they are today. Clawing their way through so much heartache and pain that these two deserve something nice and sweet and bam the author hits them over the head more turmoil and drama for their already full lives.
Overall, it was a good read with a great cast of characters. I loved the family element in this book and despite whatever’s going on family sticks together.

A great start to a new series. This was a fast and fun book once I got past the opening that was just a jumble of brothers fighting in a less than endearing way. Austin and Rachel were great characters, even if they were both a bit stubborn. I would have liked for more time to have been spent developing their relationship (they are both all in pretty quickly after the initial attraction) but I was still content with the outcome. The rest of the series is set up nicely and I cannot wait to see what else is in store for the Burns Brothers.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Loved this book!!! I'm so excited for this series!! The next books gonna be crazy!! Lol this is Austin and Rachel book, Austin and his brothers own bad@ss builds and they build custom motorcycles! Rachel is a single mom and works a bunch of jobs to takes care of her wheelchair ridden mom and her little boy! Austin and take the heat and runs off to a friend's cabin just so happens Rachel is working her house cleaning job and has to clean said cabin lol they both become snowed in!! This book was really hot 🔥! It has a great story to it and says up for an awesome series! I highly recommend it! Definitely don't miss out on this one! Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!

Wow, Rachel is a very stubborn woman. When she's made up her mind, there's no changing it. I get it, she has to put her child first.
Austin is messed up about family stuff when he first meets Rachel. It's a good thing that he's sexy as sin. I don't think that she would have given him the time of day if he weren't.
I really enjoyed, Build. I can't wait to see which brother gets his story told next.
