DP Construction: The Complete Series ARC Review

This review might be a little different this time, but hang with me. This time I am reviewing DP Construction: The Complete Series. One of these books I have already reviewed, but the rest are new. Admiring His Caulk
We met Piper and Emmett in this first part of the series. Their attraction for each other is practically instantaneous from the first time their eyes meet. Emmett is the strong mountain man who has set some roots in the small-town, especially as a builder. Piper is the girl who comes into town temporarily to catch up with some friends, who winds up finding a new home and starts a new life unexpectedly instead. The friends set up a building project for the group that winds up being a first date for Piper and Emmett after her friends ditch her at Emmett's home workshop studio. As they say, the rest is history.
Piper is not a typical character, however. She has chronic Lyme disease that she tries to keep hidden from Emmett. Lara London brought her to life without her disability being her main focus, but making it a way to give Emmett an out while also making it a way to make him a loveable character and making their bond even better and stronger. Piper has dealt with this for six years, so she knows what she needs and how to handle and control it by this point. Thankfully, this time the flare-up was just a mild case. Emmett learns from her and the hospital doctor that this is a lifelong commitment that Piper does not always have control over and their life may not be normal.
Once again, in Lara London fashion, the title is tongue in cheek. It is brought up in a hilarious moment when the characters first meet. Piper and readers only get to know the truth of the statements made. Thankfully, both Piper and Emmett have a sense of humor that doesn't make the moment awkward.
Screwing His Wood I loved how this was fast-paced but wasn't cheesy. What starts as kissing a stranger turns into a wedding date and quickly a happily ever after. What else could a reader want?
Screwing His Wood introduces Sara and Hayes. Sara kisses a random stranger on the sidewalk after running into her ex boyfriend. She also gets invited to her cousin's wedding, in which said ex will also be attending. Hayes is instantly smitten with Sara and agrees to go to the wedding before Sara can even ask.
As the weekend continues, we learn that both Sara and Hayes are breaking their own rules and doing whatever feels right. It might seem crazy if it were real life, but in this case, it is believable and keeps the reader hooked. Lara London has done it again.
Blowing His Circuit
Both Max and Aubrey fought their own inner feelings for each other without acting on them for over a year. When they finally admit what they have been holding back, more than sparks fly, despite Max being an electrician by trade.
Sometimes saying no when you want to say yes turns into grand gestures that you cannot say no to. And severe storms start up a relationship that you didn't realize you desperately needed with Max and Aubrey. Once it starts, they work towards their version of happy ever after.
Blowing His Circuit is definitely a slower start than the rest have been so far, but so worth it. Once they can admit their truths, it intensifies better than I expected. I didn't want to stop reading.
Flushing His Pipe You can find the review at https://tabtakeson.blogspot.com/2026/05/flushing-his-pipe-by-lara-london-arc.html?m=1 Erecting His Love
This bonus book completes this series perfectly. They all go on a brief vacation, and we get to see all the perspectives. I liked the passage of time and the creation of new families. So when the adults get together, it's the first time in a while that they've been away from their kids.
The same humor that has come to be expected from Lara London is present yet again. It seemed to be in this story more often than the others. Maybe because these characters were more built from their previous books.
As always, there's still a happy ever after with room for another continuation to be created in the future. And if that happens, I can't wait.
Overall, I cannot recommend DP Construction: The Complete Series enough. There's a variety of characters that hook you into their stories. There is plenty of romance and a little humor. Lara London, you definitely know what you are doing!
