He has all the right tools…and the skill to use them.
Need a carpenter who has all the right tools and the skill to use them? Look no further than me, Jackson Decker…otherwise known as Big Deck. I’ll let you guess how I may have inherited that nickname. Spoiler alert: it’s not just because I’m 6’5″.
I take care of my female clients in many ways. I’ve got tools, and I’ve got rules: three seconds, tops, for hugs. No going on dates. No staying overnight. And absolutely no letting anyone mess with my heart.
I’m yours for the duration of the project. And then, it’s over. Most women find it difficult to say goodbye, and sometimes it’s hard for me, too—literally. See what I just did there? But that’s the way it has to be, and I’ve always been able to handle it.
Until Madeline Callaway.

I was only looking to get a big bathroom, not a big man, since I’ve sworn off relationships after being cheated on. But when Jack Decker showed up at my door with his jaw-dropping sex appeal and huge…um, workboots, I found myself wanting his hands on more than just my bathroom fixtures. I wasn’t prepared for how he’d make me laugh, blush, swoon…ache.
Will I be able to follow our agreement of insanely hot, no-strings sex, keep my emotions in check and let Jack go once he’s done the renovation? Or will I need him to return and repair the hole in my heart?

My Review:
This is my first time reading anything from Remy Rose and it didn’t disappoint at all. From the sexy cover to the intriguing synopsis, Big Deck had me reading nonstop from beginning to end. Not only was this story about second changes, but it was also sweet and entertaining.
At the very beginning we are introduced to Jackson Decker of Decker Renovations. As a twenty-eight year old, he has no trouble attracting the opposite sex and he is all too happy to hook up with his single clients. Jackson is all about self- preservation and nothing too serious. But that soon changes when he meets one of his newest clients, Madeline Callaway. He was supposed to renovate her new bathroom, but the minute he laid eyes on her he was attracted to her and he couldn’t stop thinking about her ever since. Yet, no matter how close they get during his time working for her he knows that he can’t pursue anything further without getting hurt. He has been through so much in his life and he doesn’t trust as easily as he might like. Madeline is there for him right from the very beginning, but when she starts to get attached to him he has to make a choice of whether being in a relationship with her is worth pursing or not.
Madeline Callaway never expected to meet Jack Decker. He is her total opposite, yet she is completely attracted to him from the minute he walked into her house. His playfulness and charm is what she likes the most about him. Yet even though there is obvious chemistry between them, he has made it clear time and time again that he doesn’t do relationships and she doesn’t know if she’ll get out of their arrangement intact or completely heartbroken. Nevertheless, Madeline is set on enjoying her time with him until her past starts to catch up with her and she starts to receive text messages from her ex wanting her back. After what she went through in her previous relationship she is scared of getting hurt again, but the more time she spends with Jack the more she wants to explore the possibility of a forever with him if only he gives her that chance.
I was pleasantly surprised with how well thought out the story was and how we get to see the characters develop from beginning to end. It’s evident that both of the characters have their own pasts to overcome, but the more time they spend with each other the more they help each other move on. I enjoyed reading Jack’s interaction with one of his older clients, he became some sort of father figure to him and helped Jack see how short life can be and we have to enjoy it to the fullest. There was a lot of sexy moments between the characters as well as sweet and romantic ones as well. I loved reading the ending, it had a true meaning for Jack and Madeline and it ended really well. Overall, Big Deck was an enjoyable read and I would highly recommend picking it up as well. :)

About the author
Remy has considered herself a writer since first penning the blockbuster “The Talking Cat” at the age of ten. She’s traded her spiral bound notebook and yellow beanbag chair for a MacBook Air and desk, but her love of the craft is still the same. She enjoys reading and writing romance that’s smart, swoony and sprinkled with laugh-out-loud moments, because humor is one of the sexiest things ever.
Her first women’s contemporary novel was represented by a New York agent, and she’ll never forget the day she got that phone call while in the bedding section of Target.
An advocate for animal rescue, Remy lives on a small farm with her very understanding husband and probably too many pets. She’s thrilled to be part of Jack’s House, is brimming with ideas for future books, and got a kick out of writing this in third person.
