Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Crystal F

Nailed is an engrossing young adult story. I loved the realism of it.



Mandy is a down-to-earth girl who just graduated from high school and
knows what she wants - to own her own construction company. The day she
has waited for has finally arrived and she is about to be on her first
construction crew. Since her father owns a construction company she is
not new to the scene, but she is new to her crew of 4 other men. At
first it's tough working for her brother and getting used to the guys,
but through perseverance Mandy does it. She starts to fit in and
realize her attraction for two of the crew members.



Boston and A.J. couldn't be more different and Mandy finds positives to
both of them. But in a love triangle which one will she choose.
I admit I have not read any lover's triangle books so this was new for
me.



I really enjoyed the plot and Mandy as a character. She's a strong
female who knows what she wants. She's not overbearing and she is very
feminine even working on the framing crew. I also liked how she was
sure about a career but she wasn't sure where relationships were
involved. She grew during the book and I enjoyed watching her journey.



The men involved all sound amazing. I was fanning myself listening to
the description of them. I can definitely find wonderful qualities in
both A.J. and Boston especially against the crasser members of the
crew.
I also loved the scenes involving the bookstores. I love bookstores so
to see them mentioned in the book was a lot of fun.



An all-around great read - it's hard to put down and very enjoyable. It
was fun getting a look into the construction field especially from a
female perspective. Ms. Laurens did a wonderful job on this book.
