BOOK BLURB:
Tobias is a lawyer who spends his free time "flipping" houses, which means buying a fixer-upper and selling it once it's cleaned up. He met contractor Ven on his last flip, and decided he liked the guy a lot. He likes Ven's work ethic, his style, and maybe a lot more.

One evening when Tobias gets home late from work and finds the place has been vandalized, he calls Ven, who cuts short his night out clubbing and comes to help clean up and brings his two guard dogs to keep the place safe overnight. Can Tobias convince Ven to stay and help out with more than just security?

BOOK REVIEW:
Lawyer Tobias Archer has thirty days and thirty thousand dollars to turn around his fourth house, “a quaint little Colonial in desperate need of some TLC.” There is quite a bit to deal with, including the overwhelming smell of cat urine and squirrels in the shed. Luckily, Toby has hired contractor Ven Parrish to help with the renovations. The story spans the various stages of the “flip” throughout the month including appraisal, demolition, break in, completion, and staging. Along the way, the relationship between the men follows a very similar path, with interesting results.

Flipping Out is an enjoyable story about building a relationship. The interactions between Toby and Ven are playful from the start, with a bit of teasing going on. There is an instant mutual attraction and it leads to highly erotic and steamy sex scenes. As this is the first book in a series, we don’t get too much background about the men but hopefully we will learn more about them as the series continues.

I got a kick out of Ven’s two spoiled Rottweilers Blade and Whistler and am anxious to learn the names of the other three. A particular favorite of mine was the character of Ven’s brother Vashon, affectionately known as “Cake”. He is slow but still able to do excellent work alongside Ven and the relationship between the brothers is touching. This is the beginning of a Chaser series of three books and I am definitely looking forward to the next two releases. This is a wonderfully fun and light-hearted start to what is sure to be a great series!
