Replacement: A Building 402 Novella (Book 2 of 4) by Alexandra Warren

A Review By: DWP

Angelica Pearson is taking a serious break from dating.

At least, she thought she was taking a serious break from dating until she comes face-to-face with the finest man she’s ever seen who also happens to be the new maintenance man in her building.

Angie knows what she wants in a man. And outside of his good looks, his natural charm, and his ability to make all of her apartment woes go away, Lawson isn’t that. But that doesn’t mean she can’t get to know him, right?

Lawson Hill is completely focused on rebuilding his life now that he’s a free man.

That rebuild doesn’t include getting involved with anyone, especially not the bougie girl at his job who always needs something in her apartment fixed.

From her high-maintenance appeal alone, he can already tell she’d be nothing but a headache to deal with. But when Angie proves there’s a lot more to her than what meets the eye, Law quickly learns he’ll be doing a lot more than just replacing air filters and light bulbs in Building 402…

Note: While this book tells a complete story, it is a novella meaning it is shorter in length by design. If you prefer your stories longer, I’d highly recommend checking out another Alexandra Warren project.


Review Notes:

Audio Book Publication Year: 2024

An installment in a Series? Yes

Narrator (s): Wesleigh Siobhan, Myles Washington

Wesleigh Siobhan and Myles Washington: Wesleigh never fails to capture the essence of the characters she plays. Angie was a high-maintenance princess and Wesleigh caught all that uppity sass, lol. What was so great for me is it didn’t make Angie unlikeable. She didn’t come across as snobby or anything, just a demanding princess. Myles was so amazing as Lawson. He had all the cocky swagger in his voice that I think Law naturally had. Myles just felt comfortable in the role to me. Their voices together made a perfect harmony.

Alexandra Warren once again packed a lot into this novella. She gave us some dynamic characters with great chemistry, the uniqueness of the apartment building acting as a backdrop, and a ton of family dynamics. This was another great read.

Reading Recommendation? Yes!

Rating: 5 (I need another one!)
