Brick (Cooper Construction #1) by Jen Davis

Review by Alysia Brick by Jen Davis is a crazy love story. It makes you believe that love will conquer all, even really scary drug bosses. Olivia is the girl-next-door school teacher that believes the world is full of rainbows and sunshine now that her battle with cancer is won. Brick is the guy that doesn't believe in the boogie monster, he IS the boogie monster. He's the guy that you don't want to be alone with in a dark alley if you have messed with his boss. When he sees Olivia across the work site, he thinks that the world is okay and he has just found the perfect woman. Yet he doesn't want to drag her beauty and innocence into his dark and scary world of pain and heartache. The book was a bit slow in the beginning, but soon the action picked up and all the pieces started falling in to place. There were points in the book that I literally spoke out loud. Olivia and Brick try and fight the chemistry between them but it's impossible. She is so intrigued by him that she wants more buts he is protecting the only perfect thing in his life from being hurt by his boss. Brick's boss, Sucre, is a drug lord that likes to torment and torture people for fun. He coerced Brick to work for him when Brick's grandmother got sick and needed around the clock care. Since then, Brick has become the top enforcer, but Sucre still holds the fact that he's the reason that Brick's grandmother is getting the help she needs. Brick knows for a fact that if Sucre gets his hands on Olivia that it won't be good. When Olivia's star student goes missing she unknowingly puts herself in the middle of Brick's scary world to help the teen. Brick's world is turning on its axis, the perfect girl is now neck deep in the scary world he wants to get out of so bad. Will they get out of the sticky situation alive? ***ARC received in exchange for an honest review.*** Release Date: February 5th 2019
