Lightning review at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books 
 The second book in the Billionaire Builders series is definitely going to appeal to HGTV fans and lovers of hot contemporary romances alike. When Raven Stratton moves home to open a bar/ restaurant she's got a dual purpose in mind: run a successful business and also avenge her father. He dad died in a car accident running off with an "other woman," and Raven has never forgiven that woman's family for making her father out to be a con man and manipulator. So when her antique bar needs repair in time for a magazine shoot and Dalton Pierce shows up to do the work, it seems like karma. Dalton's mom was the woman with Raven's dad-although Dalton doesn't know that. 
 The best parts of this book are the wonderful details about Raven getting her business up and running. I felt like I could get up and walk into Raven's bar and recognize it on site. There are similar details about Dalton's woodworking business but my understanding of home improvement is so limited that I once thought a newel post cap holding cash in my local Starbucks tip jar was a butt plug. 
 Raven is also amazing despite the Inigo Montoya bit. She's tattooed, she does martial arts training, and she's a mixologist. She's the type of ultra-cool, nuanced heroine you want to be friends with. Dalton is more of a playboy stereotype but there is some excellent slow burn chemistry happening. 
 So while the revenge part and the woodworking (hur) wasn't a huge draw for me, the sexiness, the heroine and the restaurant environment made this contemporary stand out.
