What's a girl to do when a sexy builder offers to be her tutor.in the bedroom? Three times dumped for not being adventurous in bed, Beth-Ann Harris is ripe for a steamy affair. Particularly when the man in question is Riley Osborne-the same guy who once told Beth-Ann she'd never turned him on. Beth-Ann decides it's time to make Riley sit up and take notice. Problem is she didn't expect to find herself falling in love, a terrifying idea for a girl who equates love with giving up control. Riley Osborne loves women, but after his parent's sorry attempt at marriage -- and his own experience with a fiance from hell -- he'd be damn stupid to stick his head in that noose again. But that doesn't mean he can't play. When he arrives to fix Beth-Ann's ceiling and she asks if he's come to plug her hole, he quickly offers his services in the bedroom as well. It's all meant to be a bit of fun but before he knows it, he's committed and is demanding she make an honest man of him. Will Beth-Ann be able to relinquish control enough to realize it's better to have a man handy than a handyman? WARNING: This book contains hot, explicit sex explained with contemporary, graphic language!

A Handyman's Best Tool,
By Kelly "Reviewer for The Sinfully Sensuous" (Littleton, Colorado) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: A Handyman's Best Tool (Paperback)
I was looking forward to reading this book when I read the teasers, but I am sorry I wasted my time and money.
The characters are contrived and uninteresting from the start to the end. There is no real development or growth which was a huge let down. Beth Ann and Riley were a couple, but no chemistry can be felt. Everything was very forced.

We could all use a handyman with all the right tools!,
By C. Dionne "Chrissy Dionne" (Cloverdale, OREGON USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: A Handyman's Best Tool (Paperback)
Beth-Ann Harris has been dumped again because of her lack of enthusiasm in bed. Maybe if her boyfriends would give her something worth getting worked up over, she'd exhibit a little more passion. When the builder hired to fix the hole in her ceiling volunteers to tutor her in the bedroom she agrees. Beth-Ann's not going to turn down the chance to be with the one guy who'd once told her that she'd never turn him on.
Riley Osborne visits Beth-Ann's home fully expecting to simply repair a hole in her ceiling. He isn't expecting the witty bombshell who greets him at the door. Riley adores women but there's no way he's letting one slip a marriage noose over his head. No commitment is the way he likes his relationships. Until now. Beth-Ann opened her front door and uttered the words that would have Riley's mind in overdrive for weeks on end. "Are you the man who's going to fill my hole?" Of course, she was talking about the hole in her ceiling, but no red-blooded male is going to pass up an opening like that one, and Riley is no exception. Even though it takes Beth-Ann a moment to realize the sexual connotation of the conversation she delights in the verbal sparring. She doesn't immediately recognize Riley though him calling her "ma'am" does remind her of someone. While Riley's busy working at checking on the damage to her roof, Beth-Ann receives a phone call that he can't help but overhear. Her brush-off of the jerk on the other end of the line is just too impressive not to eavesdrop. After slamming the phone down, Beth-Ann remembers that Riley is in the room and witnessed her half of the conversation. He'd paid particular attention to several of the comments and volunteers to give her lessons on fulfilling her fantasies. Beth-Ann suddenly realizes exactly who Riley is and relishes the chance to live out those fantasies with her teenage heart-throb. A no-strings attached, all out sexual relationship is exactly what they both think they want, but Riley soon wants a commitment. Can he convince Beth-Ann to make their relationship more permanent? Alexis Fleming pens a fabulously charming tale with A HANDYMAN'S BEST TOOL. The characters are down to earth and could easily be somebody you actually know. Both Riley and Beth-Ann have issues stemming from their own parents' marriages and have learned to avoid anything resembling permanency in their relationships. Watching these two work through their issues and fall in love with each other is heart-touching but what I really love about this story is the dialogue. All the sexual innuendos and comebacks the characters use are laugh out loud funny, not to mention Beth-Ann's side of the telephone conversation. Honestly, her comments on the man's personal hygiene had me laughing until I cried. A HANDYMAN'S BEST TOOL has a wonderfully thought out storyline and is a sure-fire guarantee that you'll never look at a man in a tool belt without wondering about the tool that you can't see.

Joyfully Reviewed!,

This review is from: A Handyman's Best Tool (Paperback)
Riley Osborne has just been struck speechless. Standing before him in
a wet shirt is a tiny, red-haired woman that Riley is instantly attracted to. Thanking his lucky stars that his father is unavailable to help this woman, Riley sets out to fix the hole in her roof. However, by the time he is finished, Riley has agreed to be much more than this woman's handyman. Beth-Ann Harris needs a hole in her roof repaired before more water damages her home. The repairman that comes to assess the damage and plug the hole is a walking, talking gift to women. Beth-Ann and the hottie banter with each other during the time it takes for the roof to be patched. By the time Riley leaves, however, Beth-Ann has asked him to do so much more than fix a leaking ceiling. A Handyman's Best Tool by Alexis Fleming put me in stitches. I love a book that makes me smile while immersed in the story and A Handyman's Best Tool is that type of book. Riley is my kind of repairman and as I was reading, I envisioned all sorts of naughty things that he could repair at my home. Beth-Ann cracked me up several times throughout the book, but what I liked the best about her was her naïveté and unassuming personality. Beth-Ann had been hurt before but was willing to try love again, and because of that, I thought Beth-Ann a very strong heroine. A Handyman's Best Tool is a winner in my book. Full of laughter, life and extremely hot sex, it kept me enthralled from beginning to end. I am happy to say that Alexis Fleming continues to be on my automatic read list and I am sure that other readers will feel the same way after reading A Handyman's Best Tool. I simply adored it!
