How far would you go to build the perfect partner?

Slave to the rich, rude and deluded, cosmetic surgery receptionist Serenity Holland longs for the day she's a high-flying tabloid reporter. Unfortunately, every pitch she sends out disappears like her clients' liposuctioned fat, never to be seen again. Then she meets Jeremy Ritchie -- the hang-dog man determined to be Britain's Most Eligible Bachelor by making himself over from head to toe and everything in between -- giving Serenity a story no editor could resist.

With London's biggest tabloid on board and her very own column tracking Jeremy's progress from dud to dude, Serenity is determined to be a success, even going undercover to gain intimate access to Jeremy's life. But when Jeremy's surgery goes drastically wrong and Serenity is ordered to cover all the car-crash goriness, she must decide how far she really will go for her dream job.

A massive thanks to everyone who's bought BUILD A MAN! I really appreciate it.

I'm thrilled that it's just received a cracking five-star review from Chick Lit News and Reviews:

"There was nothing I didn’t like about Build A Man. It had characters I really, really cared for, it had an inspired plot (Talli is a plot genius!), it had warmth and humour and it wasn’t all sweetness and light, either. I loved the book so much that I stayed up until 12.45am finishing it. I never stay up past midnight, but I just couldn’t put it down, I just couldn’t let go without knowing how it all ended and oh God, was it worth it. Was it ever worth it. The ending made me ridiculously happy, and I was flipping the next page button on my Kindle like a demon just to get there quicker as it all came to its conclusion. I can’t wait for the sequel to Build A Man, Construct A Couple, comes out. It has the characters that just DEMAND a sequel. I want to read it now, actually. (Do you hear that, Talli? I WANT TO READ IT NOW!!!). I can’t recommend it enough, it was just awesome and I was sad to finish it, because I’d gotten so into Serenity’s life, so into Jeremy’s story, that I just didn’t want it to end and for me there’s nothing better than a book you don’t want to end."

Interesting title. "Building a better man" was one of the themes of my
latest story. I wonder if this is part of a coming trend?

Happy Wednesday!

Build A Man recently received a five-star review on Chick Lit Plus:

I am happy to put Build a Man on my Favorites List and give it a whopping five stars! Roland has everything right in this story––a sweet but confused heroine, a gripping plot, and lots of laugh along the way. I was invested from the beginning, and had to see how Serenity and Jeremy’s story played out. The only gripe I was about to have was that it ended too quickly––I felt that Serenity and Jeremy were only just beginning when the story came to an end, but then I saw there is a sequel––hurray! If you haven’t read anything yet from Roland, get her on your list!

I've just received a lovely review from Seattle PI:

"Build A Man is rich with tongue-in-cheek humor, fluid plotting and characters that are as delectable as Krug Clos d'Ambonnay Brut Blanc de Noirs Champagne 1995. You will be glued to every word.

An absorbing, slick, snappy and vivacious voice has entered the romantic comedy/chick-lit genre and Talli Roland is her name!"

A lovely review of Build A Man on One More Page:

'The plot is original and fun but still manages to make you think, the hero and heroine are well developed and genuinely likeable but by no means perfect and the romance is spot on and actually believable.'

Happy to report that Jera's Jamboree has recently reviewed Happy to report that Jera's Jamboree has recently reviewed Build A Man!

"The characters in Build A Man have depth and are therefore believable.  We’ve all met people who have the characteristics of the male leads and also can identify with Serenity and Kirsty.  The antagonism from intern Mia is also believable.

I think the way the author deals with the controversial topic of cosmetic surgery is very well crafted.  The humour/derision and the way Serenity’s skill is ultimately used positively will satisfy the most anti views of readers.

Build A Man was a read that hooked me in and in all honesty, I’m looking forward to reading the sequel Construct a Couple.  I can’t wait to see how Serenity’s relationship with her boyfriend works out and if the tension in Build A Man is anything to go by."
