Ready for Love (The Men of 3X CONStruction) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As with the first story, I really enjoyed the tale of Red and his "baby momma" :-) Denise.
At first I thought this book would be the kind that is fraught with misunderstandings and miscommunication. That was one thing that pushed my buttons a bit in Ross and Cherise's story. That was not the case. Ross and Denise are the slightly dysfunctional couple you just have to root for. They love each other so much but they are both immature and have some growing to do. I was glad their relationship was positive for most of the book. The love scenes are hot and plentiful. I really enjoyed how well Red knew Denise, her moods, facial expressions and how her mind worked. Red was no saint and was real about who he was and how he operated. Denise knew her man and really came off as a wonderful, sassy, real heroine.
Now to the mystery, which still has to be solved. Unlike the first book, this story went in dept into an elaborate BDSM twist which I didn't see coming at all. In fact, a good bit of the story was the set up for this BDSM pyramid piece which will eventually solve the mystery of who is trying to ruin not only 3X Construction, but destroy the lives of the men as well. Anything you thought you knew can be thrown out the window because this plot is unsolvable in this book.
As usual, I love the Alpha Male persona's Ms. Knowles creates. Red was the hottest, baddest, Irish alpha male I have ever read a story about. Yummmm!!! his brothers were also big in this story and I am chomping at the bit to read a story about every single one of them so, if you are reading this Ms. Knowles, bring out the Irish beefcakes PLEASE!!!.
So now I sit patiently and wait for the final chapter in this trilogy: Smokes story. Part of me will be sad to see it conclude but I have so enjoyed the men of 3X CONStruction, I just want to submerge myself into the next tale.
***NOTE you MUST read the first story to understand this one. It is NOT the kind of story which can be read out of sequence.****

Second book in Men of ThreeX CONStruction series. Red and Denise have been together eight years when she breaks it off. It couldn't have come at a worst time. His company is under attack and he's being targeted. He has to filter through all the mess to come up with a plan to both trap the crooks and save their relationship.Excerpt:Red sat in the driveway of the two-story brick home contemplating his next move. His partners in Three X Construction, Ross and Smoke, refused to allow him to quit over what they termed bullshit. He'd finally hopped in his Hummer and drove around to clear his head. At least that's the shit he'd told his boys. The look on both their faces called him a liar. Hitting the steering wheel, he yelled out his frustration.Why'd he always have to be the fuck-up?All his brothers had strong careers working for themselves. As the youngest, he'd had less responsibility and stayed in the most trouble.Smoke had called him out days before for straddling the fence in his non-relationship with his babies' mama and ex-girl, Denise. She'd been right. He needed to grow up. Ever since the fundraiser a few weeks ago, she'd been on his mind more than usual. That was hard to understand since she was buried so deep inside him, she was never far from his thoughts.The red sparkly dress she'd worn that night had his balls tensing and his cock straight hard. He lost his mind for a second when he saw her looking up at that asshole. Smoke had tried to stop him, but he was on autopilot. Nobody touched his woman. Fuck that they'd had a disagreement. She was still his. It was all he could do to keep from throwing her over his shoulder and taking her to a dark corner. He'd make her remember why they'd been so good together.When he heard her complaining to Ms. Connie, the construction company's office manager, and Cherise, something snapped. She'd broken up with him on a bullshit tip and wouldn't talk to him. Lord knows he'd tried.That was probably why he sat, like a lump of coal, in her driveway at nine pm. He had a shitload of mess on his mind and didn't want to be alone. He'd bypassed his townhouse, as well as Smoke's offer to crash at his beachfront condo. Now, like a jackass, he sat on the outside wanting in.Pathetic.That's what this insatiable need to be around her was fast becoming. He inhaled and glanced at his watch for the tenth time in the past twenty minutes, hoping to clear his head in preparation for a titillating exchange with Denise. She wasn't easy, but matched him perfectly. You'd never know she was a preacher's kid the way her mouth went off. Thinking of her mouth, led to visions of her full lips, which made him hard. He swallowed, pushing away his desire and righting his pants.Unlocking his door, he stepped out of his black Hummer and pocketed the keys as he moved slowly toward the door. A car sounded in the distance, the hum of a neighborhood settling for the night calmed his jangled nerves. The mat proclaimed ‘welcome.' Somehow, he doubted it extended to him.After ringing the doorbell, he stepped back so she could see him. He suspected she knew he'd been outside the moment he arrived. It probably tickled her that he took this long to knock on her door. Probably thought he'd been scared. He wasn't sure how far off she was on that. Not of her, but the whole situation with someone sabotaging the company, his role in it and since he was being honest, their relationship or lack thereof, worked his nerves.His hands stroked the cotton lining in his pockets searching for additional warmth as he ducked his chin into the collar of his heavy Burma jacket against the night chill. Light footsteps neared the door. Without conscious thought, he rocked side-to-side, digging in his pockets further.“Red?" a muffled voice asked surprised.“Yeah." Who the hell else would be showing up this time of night, he wondered.
