Slave to the rich and the rude, cosmetic surgery receptionist Serenity Holland longs for the day she's a high-flying tabloid reporter. When 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 -- Serenity knows she's got 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. But when Jeremy's surgery goes drastically wrong and she's ordered to cover all the car-crash goriness, Serenity must decide how far she really will go for her dream job.

fresh and original!

I'd like to give this book 4.5 stars.
In the beginning of Build a Man, the main character Serenity's dream is to write for a tabloid paper. The opportunity presents itself and she thinks her life is finally turning around until she finds herself trapped in a web of lies and has to decide if her dream is worth sacrificing her soul.
I thoroughly enjoyed this read. I loved being part of Serenity's journey as she tried to reconcile the life she thought she always wanted with her conscience, her own sense of right and wrong and her heart. I found myself laughing out loud several times. Serenity was a great character and from the beginning to the end, there was strong character development as she stopped wanting what was good on paper in favor of what made her truly happy.
The two things that kept me from giving this book 5 stars were a) I thought the ending was a little abrubt and b) throughout most of the book, I kept waiting for Serenity to stand up to a very cold and emotionally abusive person in her life and she never did.

Talli Roland is rapidly running up my ladder of favorite authors. I couldn't wait to read the latest from her, Build a Man, and am grateful she keeps sending copies my way! This story follows Serenity Holland, an American living across the Pond and working as receptionist at her boyfriend's cosmetic surgery clinic. She really has dreams of being a tabloid reporter, and she is trying desperately to get noticed from a magazine. It is at the clinic that she meets Jeremy Ritchie, a man determined to have a complete transformation. Jeremy wants plastic surgery from head to toe to make over who he has become, and Serenity's boyfriend Peter is just the man for the job. Serenity catches of the eye of a tabloid with her story about Jeremy--a man so obsessed with plastic surgery--and finally lands a chance to become a real writer! But will going undercover work in Serenity's favor, or will she watch everything fall apart?
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!

Build A Man is AMAZING!

I absolutely loved Build A Man! I've read all of Talli's books and this has to be by far the one with the most heart. Her voice really shines through in her writing and her passion for her characters are proven in the way she develops her characters. With out giving too much away, I really fought for Serenity to dig deep in her moral soul and do what was ethically right for her life. Serenity shows that you can do a job you love and not compromise your moral compass. I also fell in love with her secondary characters and Serenity's best friend, Kristy. I love how Talli hit on the emotions of thinking the grass is greener. This is definitely a FVIE star plus novel!!
