This was an interesting addition to the Billionaire Builders series. I don't feel like I knew Brady or Charlie much before reading this book and I enjoyed getting to know them better. I really didn't like Brady's idea of a perfect family and loved when he got a behind the scenes look at what his family was really like. He wasn't a chauvinist like Charlie accused him of being tho. He thought that was how a good marriage worked, but Charlie was able to show him that wasn't the case. The sex scenes were hot and the story was strong. It was a good book and I look forward to the next book in this series.

I was hoping as soon as I met Charlie in Any Time, Any Place that she and Blake would end up together and I'm so happy that Ms. Probst wrote their story! I didn't know what all to expect from Somehow, Some Way, but it was better than anything I could have anticipated. I absolutely loved Somehow, Some Way - it was fabulous!

I've always liked Brady, but I would be lying if I didn't say that I was relishing for the time when a woman would come along and turn his world upside down and challenge him, because I soooo was! And boy, did Charlie do that - she definitely showed him how fierce, strong, and stubborn she could be and that it might have driven him crazy, but it also floated his boat. I enjoyed every minute of it, but I also really loved Brady too. Yes, he's almost always in control, he's professional, and polished and serious, but it was sexy. Brady is confident and dominant and a total alpha, but he's also sweet and protective. He'll most likely make you shake your head while rolling your eyes a few times, but he's such a worthy hero and I know he'll steal your heart!

I loved Charlie in Any Time, Any Place and I only loved her more in her own book! She's so fun and silly and quirky. She's passionate and soulful and full of energy and life. Charlie is just pure and light and happiness. She's the total opposite of Brady and what he thinks he wants because she's sassy and independent and she doesn't let him get away with anything. Charlie is a BOSS and I wholeheartedly loved her!

The love/hate relationship trope is probably my favorite one and Ms. Probst definitely delivered on that. Somehow, Some Way was full of sexual tension, passion, and anticipation. It was amusing, entertaining, and just a wonderful read. I loved and enjoyed it so much - it was a great way to pass the time and I can't wait to read Sydney and Tristan's book next!

Somehow, Some Way can be read as a standalone, it's told from Brady and Charlie's POV, and they got an HEA that put a big smile on my face and made me feel all warm and toasty inside!

Somehow, Some Way by Jennifer Probst is the newest additions to the Billionaire Builders series. I love Jennifer Probst and her books. I'm always entertained to the point of laughing and crying! I've become very attached to these characters and I knew Brady and Charlotte's story was going to be something else. I've been intrigued by Brady from the very beginning. He's dark, handsome and very traditional. Very traditional. Charlotte is a free spirit. Incredibly good at what she does and smart, sassy and isn't going to bow down to any man. Brady is attracted to her, but she's everything he's not looking for in a wife. After they are forced to work together, he learns she's so much different than he thought. And they realize their chemistry is scorching hot! Brady always thought he wanted a submissive woman and Charlotte never thought she's want a domineering man in the bedroom. Man, were they both wrong. Can they compromise on what they thought they've always wanted and make it work between them? Will it be too much for them? I loved this story. It's sweet, hot, hilarious, and sexy. I laughed, I cried, I got hot and bothered. I love Brady more than I thought I would! His sexy eyes, that smile. Swoon! And Charlotte is the best! She's tough, not girlie but crazy sexy!

"Take the chance, I'll give you what you need. You just have to say yes."

"I thirst for you, Charlotte. Every damn day, I thirst for you."

"Open the door or I'll break it down."
"You wouldn't."
"Hell, yes, I would, and then your punishment will be worse when I spank your ass."

LOVE this series! Bonus that Lance Greenfield is one of the narrators. LOVE HIM!
I got to see Brady and Charlotte "together" when I read "All or Nothing at All" and I was completely curious about the 'how' their journey.

I loved seeing their banter and how they evolve. Each have their own quirks and beliefs on how not only of how things are done but also what they want in life.

Great characters and awesome story makes this an FANTASTIC listen!

Narrator Reviews:
Did I mention how I love Lance? Both Madeleine's and Lance's performance bring the characters to life and make a great story even better!!!

A lovely little trip into the Billionaire Builders world with architect Brady Heart and renovator extraordinaire Charlotte Grayson. From the get go these two just rub each other up the wrong way. He finds her to be impulsive, chaotic and flighty. She finds him to be stuck up, stubborn and snooty. When they're forced together on working on a house sparks fly, heated arguments ensue and what they've been trying to avoid comes to light. This was a nice, quick and easy read and perfect for the in-between moments.

Everyone knows I'm a huge fan of Jennifer Probst books. And her Billionaire Builders series is perfect for my HGTV obsessed self.

Charlie and Brady are so freaking amazing. I love how they rub each other the wrong way and their banter.  They both have certain views of how their futures will turn out, but sometimes what you have planned out, isn't want happens.

You can tell they are attracted to each other the minute you start reading about them. It's hard to fight off immediate attraction, even if it doesn't follow the plan.

I also loved seeing them work on the house together. It's always interesting seeing how something old can become something new. They had differing opinions but were able to come to comprises a lot of the time.  And the fact that Charlie refers to her houses and "hes" is awesome. Especially if you walk in on a conversation and don't know what is going on.

I loved the tension, sexual and emotional. I felt what each of them were thinking and feeling.  Overall, this is a great addition to the Billionaire Builder series, and I can't wait to see what happens with the Pierce crew next.

I really think I would have loved this more if it was a full length novel....I was so interested to see who they'd pair Brady up with after meeting him in book one and hearing that he liked women who were submissive. For a little back story before my husband and I started dating he told him that he wanted a 50s style wife (he was kidding-ish but I didn't know that) and I seriously had to reconsider my feelings for him lol. There is no way in hell that I would ever be okay being in that kind of a role. I have nothing against women who are and who love it--that's just not for me. Soooo needless to say I was hoping that he'd have someone come along to push all of his tidy little buttons and Charlie did just that. I just felt kind of mehh about the whole thing because their entire relationship was started and their HEA was achieved in about 100 pages whereas the other books are stretched out further. The fact that this was only a novella took away something that the other books give you. I don't know if it's just more time with the characters or what, I just wanted more.

And honestly that might just be a personal thing because their story was wrapped up completely! I just would have liked a full novel here. Overall still glad I read it!
