Drilled Deep

Hammers and Veils #4

by Frankie Love, C.M. Seabrook

Before today I wasn’t sure I believed in love-at-first-sight.
Now? Hell, I feel like my heart’s been drilled deep.
Ana Clemente fills it. Entirely. Problem is, how exactly do I explain that to this sweet little bookworm without scaring her away?
She’s young, innocent, and way out of my league.
I’m a salt of the earth man; I believe in family, faith, and forever.
It’s time I prove to Ana that I want to do more than build her some bookshelves.
I want to build a life with her.

Dear Reader,
Colton King’s the brawny beast you’ve been waiting for.
He’s a man on a mission.
She may start off as a virgin, but pretty soon she’ll know what all the fuss is about. Our blue-collar hero will make sure of it! xo, Frankie & Chantel

These two authors together are dynamite that’s for certain I have loved this series and am kind of hoping there could be maybe one more book to go for Colton’s brother Dillon….

Ana is heiress to a family fortune and is back living in the mansion that has been in her family for generations, after the death of her mother she has spent her time in boarding schools only spending holidays in the house that was never a home. But now with her father’s death she finds herself living back in the family home losing herself in the books from the library, but the day that she opens the door to Colton King is the day that she finds her everything. But can she really have him or will he push her away like everyone else?

Colton King is a partner in the Nailed It construction company and agrees to the site visit to build some shelves. He is not expecting the woman of his dreams to answer the door but from the minute he sets eyes on Ana he is obsessed with making her his that is until he discovers her age and he runs away. Its later that he realises his mistake but will she forgive him for pushing her away or has he lost the chance of a love he dreamed of before it started?

This has been a seriously entertaining series of books well written and engaging in every way. Fingers crossed that these two carry on with their collaborating well into future.

Good

I think this story was the sweetest of the four. Colton is definitely a good guy and falls head over heels for Ana the moment he lays eyes on her. I did think Ana was a little naive and young but otherwise a sweet character.
Safety and Spoilers
Completely safe. No ow drama, her friend/guy her father wanted her to marry causes some drama and tries to assault her. It is stopped before he could do much of anything. H is not a manwhore and hasn’t been with anyone in years, h is a virgin. He is 28 and she is 18.

"Drilled Deep" is the story of Ana and Colton.

Another sweet love story between a book loving heiress and the handyman who comes to fix her house, but steals her heart instead.

OTT sweetness with May-December elements and some OM drama.

Safe
3/5

This cute smut romance is perfect to warm the heart... and other body parts :-D

Colton King is huge, knows his way arond tools and falls head over boots in love at first sight of the bookish heiress.

It's a fast romance between this muscled builder who believes in forever love and a young woman who's ready to settle and have babies. I loved the sweetness of their meeting for the first time and realizing their strong attraction. Horny and lovely at the same time, this couple fights doubts and an evil man before they share plans for domestic bliss.

Oh, the epilogues aer utterly heart-melting. They're full of good memories, bookish delight and family-making ;-) It left me with a gorgeous feeling of contentment.

[Izzybear · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ana has never really felt like she had a home.
Shipped from boarding school to boarding school she’s always longed for the warmth and love of family.
A fortuitous favor brings Colton into her life and he might just be the one to make all those dreams come true.
I enjoyed their sweet whirlwind romance.

[Janice Somers · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another great quick dirty read and hot sex. I again enjoyed reading this series. I especially loved the two epilogues.

Colton and Ana's story is quick, over the top, love at first sight. There is little drama and a very sweet HEA. I certainly smiled and loved the characters.

[Laila Viking · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved this story from first page to the last. It is fun, romantic, a bit steamy, charming alpha and independent woman. I like their chemistry and how they interact.
I was caught from start to finish and enjoyed reading it very much.

And here we go again... Another book that will rock my world. How can I talk about one book that the main character is named after me? I don't want you to think that I'm saying all the right stuff because of that. Everyone who knows me knows that when I like something I really do but when I don't... I don't.
Frankie Love and CM Seabrook have given me some amazing stories and this new series is freaking amazing. Just so you know...
Drilled Deep is their latest release and it's the fourth book from the Hammers and Veils series. And oh boy... But let me tell you something. Despite the fact that all books are standalones I tottaly advise you to read all books in order. You'll fall in love with them...
This book explores the lifes of Colton and Ana.
Colton has his construction company with 3 of his best friends. They love the job they do and do it right... He doesn't do random hookups because he has his mind set up in finding his soul mate...
Ana is a bookworm that loves to get lost in her books. She was in a bording school and now she's living in a mansion bigger than a castle. Being the heiress to a huge fortune has its perks, restrictions and so much more.
When a stunning man knocks at her door to built her some shelves...
I'm stunned. I'm so in love with this book that I can't say to much without spoiling.
Superb plot, very well written, super engaging and sweet.
It's was a breath of fresh air that I didn't knew I needed. It was perfect and hot.. Oh boy...
These two were made for each other and it was a joy to see the way this story progressed.
I'm so happy for the chance to read this series but I'm sad... Wanna know why? Because it's over... I want more. So much more.
Frankie and CM you girls know how to spice up our lives... Just saying.
Please tell me that we will have more? Please?
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Drilled Deep

For those of you that love a contemporary modern-day fairy tale, this book is for you.
Enter in Ana a heiress with the parents that you wouldn’t wish on anyone, she spent more of her time alone and went to a all-girls school. You would think she would be cold and unfeeling, but no, Ana is warm and kind. All she wants out of life is to find love, and live her happy, just her happy.
Well when she needs some work done to her library, enter Colton King of Nailed It Construction, handyman extraordinaire. Hot, sexy and all man.

Colton was raised with stories of love at first sight from his parents, but he was completely unprepared for Ana. When they first meet each other, they are both surprised at the effect they have on one other, but are consumed by their intense connection. Will they give into it? Will they make it work? Through plot twists, steamy scenes and some very awesome nicknames, you are catapulted into a world of love, loss and love found again, prepare yourself to fall in love all over again with these authors.

Warning, some light physical abuse towards the end.

[Stephanie Ditmore · Rating 5 out of 5]

OMG! This series just keeps getting better and better and the guys with Nailed It Construction are hot, hot, hot!!! When Colton is given a new job to do he never expected to see the young woman who opened the door when he showed up. Ana, is sweet, innocent and takes Colton's breath away, could it really be? Could she be the one? He's never really believed in love at first sight, but it happened for his parents so it's always been in the back of his mind and he's ready to find the right person to settle down with, no more bed hopping. Will Colton let Ana get away and scooped up by Lukas the man her father wanted her to marry? Or will he be her knight in shining armor? I guess you will have to find out for yourself. Loved this book, it's a quick read, I was done in 40 mins. It's steamy, sexy and sweet! I recommend this book and this series, you can't go wrong with any of these books!

This is the fourth book in the series and like the others it is a lighthearted, fun and steamy read although it is not my favorite. Colton is the fourth owner of Nailed It Construction who is given the task of meeting a new client for a job. When he arrives, he is met by a young woman, Ana, who just steals the breath out of his lungs. Not one to believe in love at first sight, Colton may have to rethink his position. Ana is a young woman who comes from money and has been sheltered her entire life. Per her father, she was expected to marry Lukas the son of a family friend. Will Ana succumb to the arranged marriage or will Colton sweep her off her feet? This is one older man/younger woman romance that is quick to read from start to finish.

Drilled deep is book four in the hammers and veils series. This story is short, fast paced and a nice read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. I really liked Colton. I love that he believed in love at first sight. From the moment he saw Ana, he knew she was the one for him. Ana is an heiress that has just returned home after finishing boarding school. From the moment she meets handy man, Colton King, she is instantly attracted. There are a few bumps along the way but will Colton let that keep him from Ana.
The chemistry between Ana and Colton is clear to see and I liked them as a couple. They’re sweet together.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and an enjoyable read.

[Jackie D · Rating 5 out of 5]

Insta-Woah at first glance!
Thats what the young heiress Ana Clemente and partial owner of Nailed Construction with a little experience on his side Clayton King see and feel when the brawny who knows what he wants man shows up to add shelves in her estates' library.
This is a fast-paced, chest pounding, all alpha sensual overload of heady lust, love and all the enticing goodness that can be had between a young, intelligent, sheltered women whose swept off her feet by a beast of a man who'll do deliciously naughty things to her, and protect her from harm in the same breath!
Phew~ The hot, swoony break from reality I did not want to come back from and look forward to visiting again! Love the powerful quickies Ms.Love, and Ms. Seabrook generously provide! ;-P

[Angela · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you take anything away from this book - age is nothing but a number.

Ana Clementine is an heiress that has come home after the death of her mother. She doesn’t really know anything about the world, having spent most of her list in a boarding school. Nailed it construction is called to help repair some damage done, more specifically Colton King.

Once Colton lays eyes on Ana he decided he would do anything to make her his, that is until he discovers how old he is. The age difference is to much for him to handle and her runs from the woman of his dreams, but soon learns the error of his ways. Can he win her back or did he chase her into the arms of another?

You’ll have to read the story to find out!

For Colton King, it’s love at first sight.

Colton King is a great guy, biding his time while waiting for the one. At 28, he’s got the house and a good job. But no lady friend.

That all changes the minute he sees Ana Clemente. Ana is super young at just 18, wealthy, a book worm living alone in a mansion.

It’s pretty instant and hot and heavy. But the next morning, her family friend with an understanding shows up.
Will Lukas cause trouble?
I’m thinking yes.

Recommend because Colton King is all that. And a little extra on top.

Colton dreams of the day he will find the one he will marry just like his father who told him he knew when he met his mother that she was the one. When he gets the job to build shelves for an heiress, Colton feels a surge of energy unlike anything he has felt before and he knows that the woman before him is the one he wants to be with. Ana is captivated by Colton as well but her father has put in place contingencies to his will for Ana to marry.

Ana is an heiress that you wouldn't predict is a young lady that knows what she wants and from who. Her sights are on the handyman who is fixing her library.

He's 10 years older, don't come from money and is not a player. He's hard working and knows what he wants but is worried about pushing too far too fast. His parents experienced love at first sight and he is too.

I love the role reversal of her being the assertive one and him running away. These two are so sticky sweet that honeybees are jealous.

We also get to catch up with them in the future, which was perfect.

Love at first sight
Sweet, sexy love at first sight. Colton knows what he wants. He wants to find love. So much so that he built the dream family house for when it happens. Ana inherits her family home. Mansion really because it has never felt like her home. She spent her life in boarding schools but she's not a typical, bratty socialite. She loves books, wants love and a real family. They meet when she hires Colton's company to do some work on the library. It's love at first site but when how she's supposed to end up collides with what she wants she could lose it all.

[KL Cassanello · Rating 5 out of 5]

Colton's parents fell in love when they met, and that's what he wants, firmly believing in love at first sight. He goes to Ana's mansion to work on shelving for the library, and feels an immediate connection to her despite their 10-year age difference. There's a roadblock to their happiness - in the form of Lucas, who thinks she's going to marry him. But they smooth it all out for a very happy ending. Really enjoyed this quick read.

Colton and Ana are great characters with sizzling chemistry in this quickie read , love at first sight doesn't exist? or does it , well these two do but as usual there's always something to try and spoil it for them and it happens to be Lucas who claims that he is her fiancé and their age difference , a well written book with a fab storyline and great characters , with hot chemistry , drama , some steam and 2 great epilogues , a must read from CM Seabrook

This whole series has been brilliant. Frankie & C.M have completely nailed it (pardon the pun!)

As with all the other books in this series, this is a fast-paced, action-packed story that will knock your socks off!

The instant chemistry between Colton & Ana is totally undeniable & it sizzles throughout - He can use his hammer on me, anytime!

I wholeheartedly recommend this book to everyone - It's full of love & passion that will bring a smile to your heart & face alike.

Well done Ladies. I look forward to your next collaboration!

Drilled Deep is book 4 in the Hammers and Veils series and is just as incredible as the previous 3 in the series. Ana inherits her family home after her father passes and needs to have some renovations done. Colton shows up to help with those renovations. It’s love at first sight for these two. They have a few things to overcome/work though before they get their happily ever after. I’m really hoping that Dillion ( Colton’s twin brother) is going to get his story told. As always with these two awesome authors this book is 100% safe. No cheating. No om/ow

[SnickSnack · Rating 5 out of 5]

Colton’s Dad always told him that he would know immediately when he found “the one” and when Ana opens her front door to him; WHAM! Fun and sexy story of instalove for two people who are looking for the same things in life. Add in a jealous boyfriend who’s not a boyfriend and you have a great lunchtime escape.

If love at first sight, hard working alpha males, and bookworm girls are your thing, then Drilled Deep is what you're looking for! Ana is a young heiress that knows what she wants and Colton is a blue collar hero you've been dreaming of. With complications and self denial galore, Drilled Deep is a story that will make you so happy to submit. Steamy, determined, and so, so sweet, Drilled Deep will have you being for more!
