But when I show up to build her greenhouse, I realize I'm not alone in my forbidden desire. She wants me, too. Without her, I'm screwed. So damn tight. This job is suddenly about more than hammering in some nails. It's about building a future with the only girl I've ever wanted.

❤️ Get ready to fall in love ... you deserve it! ❤️
These books are quick and steamy no doubt about that, this one was maybe a little too quick for me.
Jenna has been in love with her brothers best friend and now one if his business partners since she was twelve years old he has been the star in all of her fantasies. But now that she is all grown up and he is there to build her a greenhouse can she show him how much she wants him not just for now but forever. She has waited to have him but how will her brother react to news and who will she choose her brother or the reason her heart beats?
Porter is in love with the one girl that he can never have his best friends little sister, she is the forbidden desire that he has tried to ignore for years but once she kisses him how is he expected to walk away from the only woman he has ever wanted or loved. But when it comes to a choice between him and her brother will he lose her?
Quick read but it felt a little rushed still all the hallmarks of both authors and still a fun and safe read.
3-3.5 Stars This is another story that I’m on the fence about. While I enjoyed most of the story what bothered me the most was that Porter was in love with her for so long but wasn’t a virgin himself. I don’t like it when people say they love someone so much but still sleep with other people. It’s not mentioned specifically that he was with others but he never says he is a virgin either. It does mention that he doesn’t sleep around and would rather have none if he couldn’t have Jenna but he still had some before while she waited for him. That is a big pet peeve of mine. Safety and Spoilers Completely safe. No om/ow drama but her brother does cause some minor issues. H definitely doesn’t come off as a virgin, h is a virgin. No abuse!
Jenna and Porter have had a thing for each other for years but have never acted on it. Porter and her brother Eli own a business together and Jenna has always been off limits, but when Eli asks Porter for a favor he can’t refuse. All Jenna wants is for Porter to fall for her. The only thing standing in the way is Porter’s friendship with Eli.
Cute and sweet read. The epilogue with their baby girl was super adorable!
It was too rushed for my taste-there are so many books like this one that there is no need to settle for something that seems as thought it was cranked out in a couple hours
A sweet love story of a couple who has loved each other from afar and waited for one another. The H is the h's brother's best friend, their attraction is sort of forbidden/against the bro-code, but who can stop the power of true love?
Such a steamy hot short novella! A delightful entertainment for a lazy afternoon. Lovely characters and so much pent-up craving, lust and love! Yum! After being infatuated from afar for long-long years now it't the time to fulfill their hottest, naughtiest fantasies and make them the new reality.
Short, fast paced, well written novella. I enjoyed it very much.
I enjoyed this novella. Porter has been trying to resist his feelings for his best friend’s little sister, but when Jenna kisses him? All bets are off. They are definitely HOT together. Love how well he knows her too. But will his bestie Eli ever give his approval? No worries, we get Avery happy ever after. I highly recommend this book.
I give this book 5 stars. The storyline between Jenna and Porter was well written by a great Author. This book is part of a series. I voluntarily reviewed this Advanced Readers Copy of this book.
Short, sweet and steamy! Porter is big, brawny, sensitive and totally in love with his best friend’s little sister. Shocker - Jenna is also in love with her brother’s best friend! Absolutely delightful!
This was a great book. The chemistry are well developed and engaging with a storyline that flowed smoothly. The chemistry between the couple was great.

And here I go again. Again... Another book, another amazing journey to the unknown... Frankie Love and CM Seabrook have been giving me some amazing stories and the latest ones were perfect. This new series they have written has been superb and I can't get enough of it. Scr*wed Tight is their latest release and it's the third book from the Hammers and Veils series. This new book explores the lifes of Porter and Jenna. Porter has been in love with Jenna since they were kids but they were just that... Kids. Now they are grown ups but he can't give into that love because she's is best friend's little sister... So what will he do? Jeopardize his friendship in the name of true love? Jenna wants to start her business and in order to do so she needs a greenhouse. And who will built it? Her childhood crush... Her forbidden love since he's her brothers best friend... Stunned and amazed were the way I was feeling when this book ended... Dayum... Perfect plot, super engaging and intense.. And hot hot hot... These two were made for each other but sometimes the promises we make are a but hard to break. This book had it all, love, loyalty, friendship as well as desire, chemistry and so much more... I'm speechless right now and since I'm not a girl that spoiles I'm gonna shut it. Frankie and CM... What are you guys doing? Gimme book 4 now...

This is a sweet yet very steamy and se@y romp about a girl, Jenna, and her girlhood crush who was forbidden to her because,Porter , was her brother's best friend. There was something that she didn't know about Porter...and that was that he had loved her since she was 12 years old! Porter and her brother are in business together now that they've grown up and he is about to build Jenna a greenhouse for her. She's even more enticing to him and her crush has become so much more - if only Porter knew. Enjoy as these two get to know each other even more and become so very much closer,so much so that her brother might very well beat him up.This is a great love story with humour that had me smiling and ready to switch on the fan to try to keep cool as the tension between them is HOT! An engaging read that kept me turning page after page and I did so like these 'people' and their realistic world. Terrific writing by C.M. Seabrook and Frankie Love - please write more for us to enjoy!I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Most Definitely Recommended.
Scr*wed tight is book three in the Hammers and Veils series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable 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. The chemistry between Porter and Jenna was clear to see, as was their mutual attraction towards one another. I just wish this book were a little longer as I wanted more scenes of Porter and Jenna officially together. I liked Eli in his story (book 1). I liked how protective he was of his baby sister but he annoyed me a little in this story. I understood why he was the way he was. But he was a massive hypocrite. He had hooked up and married Jenna’s best friend yet he didn’t like the fact his best friend loved his sister. That being said, I liked that he did eventually come around to the idea. I really liked the ending and epilogue to this story. I liked seeing Jenna and Porter happy together. The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more from this series. (I think there may be at least one more book left to go)
Sassy, sweet fun and flirty. Jenna has been in love with her brother’s best friend her entire life, but what is she supposed to do when the only thing he thinks of her is a “sisterly love.” Porter is a hands-on man, and part of her brother’s company, Nailed Down, when he arrives at Jenna’s home to build her house, the emotions the two-share run rapid. Will Porter but his relationship with Jenna’s brother on the line for her? Will Jenna risk losing the only family she had left to finally see if Porter has feelings about her? Will those feelings be true? This story was short and sweet and such a turn on, warning, don’t do what I did and read it and work, people will look at you funny when you laugh at the silly jokes. Truly though, this is such a good read, it’s uplifting and fun, it will bring such a light to your heart. Everyone loves a good book!

Jenna along with her green thumb has been cultivating a secret crush on her brother Eli's best friend and one of four Construction company partners Porter since she was 12 years old. Never being seen as more than as a sister in Porters eye's has been dishearting, to say the least- knowing what Eli would have to say about her growing infatuation, is even worse!
When Eli has Porter build Jenna a Greenhouse- she finds that her blossoming attraction wasn't onesided all this time! What will happen with all the pent up years of attraction? Will Eli go off the deep end?
Another short, spicy novella where the innocence is a virtue line is taken to new levels; I will never think of weeding the flower beds or screwdrivers quite the same! I cannot wait to see what's next from this fantastic duo!
4.5 stars The third book in the Hammers and Veils series pits best friend against best friend when said friend decides to go after his sister. Porter and Eli have been best friends or what would be considered ‘brothers’ and own a business together along with two other friends. Porter has been in love with Eli’s sister Jenna for years but there is an unwritten code about dating a brother’s sister. Jenna has been in love with Porter as well but only thought he saw her as a kid sister. When Porter is tasked with building Jenna a new greenhouse, all bets are off and will they be able to keep their feelings at bay or risk it all to have their happily ever after? This is another short, feel good story from two talented authors that will brighten up your day and have you believing in taking a risk. I volunteered to read an advance copy and all opinions are my own.
This is the third book in the Hammers and Veils series and once again it is a great book that keeps you engaged The entire series is set around the lives of four men who own a construction company and how they find love
In this book we get the story of Jenna and Porter she is the sister of one of the partners and has had a major crush on Porter her brother Eli's best friend for as long as she can remember Now he is about to build new greenhouses for her business and she sees it as her chance Porter as always what she finds is that her crush hasn't been totally one sided Porter is just as interested but he nee to contend with the bro code. Will they get a future together will Eli accept them together You need to read to see. A nice quick story that doesn't feel rushed in any way i thoroughly enjoyed it
This book focuses on Porter and Jenna, Eli’s little sister.
I really hoped I would love this book, I love a good best friend’s sister plot, but unfortunately, this book just fell short for me.
I would have to say all the books in this series so far have been steamy, but this book took it to another level entirely. Every other sentence was sex, sex, and more sex and super graphic too which usually doesn’t bother me but that was basically the whole premise for this book.
Jenna and Porter never expressed or had a romantic relationship so it goes from I always wanted you to marry me practically from one chapter to the next.
It was just too much too fast which made it hard to fully enjoy.
But the epilogue 2 did improve the story for me and it added a more loving tone to the story.

I liked reading Scr*wed Tight (Hammers and Veils Book 3). All about Porter Smith the owner of ?Nailed It Construction with four of his BFF’s and Jenna Blake a twenty-two year old gardener and my BFF’s little sister. The author wrote about a man who has loved a girl since she was twelve, but can not reconcile his feelings to overcome his bff is her brother! Read about Jenna & Porter and see if they can convey thru actions they both have feelings for the other and then be able to convince their extended family it’s the real deal for life!! This is the third book in this series and each one is about construction owners who get the love bug while doing a small job! I’ve enjoyed reading the first three books and can’t wait to read book 4!!
Porter is sent to build a greenhouse for his best friends sister, Jenna. In reality he'd love to build a forever with her.
Jenna feels the same but the issue that holds them back is her brother and his best friend Eli. They can't deny the sweetness between them because it's so powerful that you'll get a few cavities from it.
But what happened when big, bad Eli sees what he can't unsee?
If you are looking for a dream couple to carry you away to insta-happiness, these two are in the dictionary under "perfection".

Another amazing addition to this series. Jenna and Porter have had a thing for each other for years but have never acted on it. Porter and her brother Eli own a business together and Jenna has always been off limits, but when Eli asks Porter for a favor he can’t refuse. All Jenna wants is for Porter to see her for the woman she is now and the girl she used to be. The only thing standing in the way is Porter’s friendship with Eli, they both know he’s not going to be happy about any kind of union between them. Such a great read, it’s sexy, steamy and a fun ride! I reviewed an advanced copy of this book through BookSprout.
Sweet and full of love. Another charming little romance in this cute series that’s so easy to ready and enjoy.
Porter might be gruff and rough, but he becomes primal and passionate when he’s around his partner’s little sister. One project to build a greenhouse turns into a frenzy of outpouring feelings, tempting kisses and an explosive brother who disapproves.
It was fun to watch all the men who work together also band together to protect their own, until they come face to face with the undeniable love that exists between Jenna and Porter. My favourite part, besides all the romantic things they say to each other, is the final epilogue where they share so much love. Very pretty story.
Jenna set up her brother Eli with her best friend Karis in the last book. Now it's time for her to have her HEA. She's been in love with Porter forever, so much so that she's saved herself for him, but she's off limits. Porter and Eli are best friends and business partners. She takes an opportunity and makes a move on him. Eli is ready to beat him to a bloody pulp for breaking the bro-code. They convince everyone that they're serious about each other, and totally in love. I enjoyed this book, and it was a quick read.

Short but very hot I enjoyed this very short story of two people, one of whom, Porter, is the best friend of the woman's brother whom he appreciates enormously, Jenna, but this position makes him refuse for years to try anything with her. However, when asked to go help her for her cottage, their common attraction explodes, but it's quickly limited by the pressure that Porter's brother might put on. The characters are good, the story is well written and the whole story is very hot, with some clichés about the weapons Jenna deploys to seduce Porter, but it brings a cute note to all.
