Product Description

Product Description

The perfect man is out there . . . he just needs a little work. 

A Top 15 Pick of 2011 by Chick Lit News and Reviews

Voted a Top Ten Book of 2011 by Trashionista


PRAISE FOR BUILD A MAN:


This is a hugely entertaining book, light-hearted yet with hidden messages of self belief, hope and about following dreams. --Kim the Bookworm 

Talli's writing is fresh, lively and different . . . If you want a book that will make you laugh and make you cry, then this one comes highly recommended. --Bookersatz

Build A Man had characters I really, really cared for, it had an inspired plot (Talli is a plot genius!), it had warmth and humour . . . I can't recommend it enough.  --Chick Lit News and Reviews

A light and charming read, I found the main character, Serenity Holland, to be reminiscent of the loveable awkwardness of Bridget Jones. --Novel Escapes


DESCRIPTION:


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.

About the Author

Talli Roland writes fun, romantic fiction. Born and raised in Canada, Talli now lives in London, where she savours the great cultural life (coffee and wine). Despite training as a journalist, Talli soon found she preferred making up her own stories—complete with happy endings. Talli’s debut novel The Hating Game was short-listed for Best Romantic Read at the UK’s Festival of Romance, while her second, Watching Willow Watts, was selected as an Amazon Customer Favourite. Her novels have also been chosen as top books of the year by industry review websites and have been bestsellers in Britain and the United States. Build A Man is her latest release.

I've read all of Talli Roland's books, and I have to say this was my favourite. I'm not sure why I connected so well with Serenity, the main character, but I identified with her, in all her flawed, but charming glory. I've also had jobs I detested, so the workplace scenes cracked me up.

I also feel a little bit in love with Jeremey, possibly because he too was flawed. No self-centered alpha male here... just a sweet guy who'd been through a rough patch that left him a bit battered.

When the conflict of the story came into full swing, oh man... I won't spoil it, but I will say that Talli Roland did a masterful job making us feel sympathetic for all the characters in a situation in which everyone did everything wrong!

The story was so good, it was hard not to rush through the book, but at the same time, I wanted to savour the experience. A highly recommended read. Her best book yet.

Build A Man 16 Jan 2012
By Dot TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Kindle Edition
Talli Roland has done it again! This is the third book that I have read by this author and I think she just gets better and better. Build A Man is very different from The Hating Game and Watching Willow Watts but you always know that you will get an entertaining story with this author.
Serenity is so determined to succeed as a journalist; she cannot believe her luck when Jeremy comes along; he is the perfect subject to write about. Yet as the story develops and Serenity gets to know Jeremy, she begins to question just how far she will go for success but the problem is, she may have already gone too far.
I really enjoyed the cosmetic surgery setting in this book, the clients that Serenity encountered brought a lot of humour to the story. I think that Talli Roland is extremely witty as a writer but I also enjoyed the fact that Build A Man felt a little bit deeper than Talli's previous books. I was really interested in the relationship that develops between Serenity and Jeremy and the way in which it makes her question what she is doing. .
If you have read any of Talli's other books then you already know that you're in for a treat. If not then I recommend that you give Build A Man a go, I don't think you will be disappointed!

Didn't want it to end 15 Feb 2012
By Sargo
Format:Kindle Edition
I loved this book and didn't want to end. I was happy to read that there is a sequel out this year as I loved Serenity and the other characters. I've never read any books by Talli Roland previously, however after loving this one so much I have just purchased two others. I recommend this book.

Wishy washy
Read ten pages and couldn't stand to read any more. No depth, just wishy washy, predictable. Characters are very one dimensional.
