Description
From New York Times bestselling author Lexi Blake, discover The Park Avenue Promise Series...
Three young women make a pact in high school—
to always be friends and to one day make it big in Manhattan
Built to Last
Harper Ross has always dreamed of working on one of the magnificent brownstones of Park Avenue. Now one of her closest friends has bought the house of her dreams and hired Harper to do the construction work. She wants to showcase the renovation on a television show for her brand-new production company. It’s the same grand home she and her friends promised themselves they would be able to afford one day. Working on it isn’t the same as living in it, but it’s all a part of Harper’s grand plan to grow her father’s construction business into one of the biggest in the city. The only obstacle—the designer on the project.
Reid Dorsey believes in the balance between beauty and functionality. As one of Manhattan’s new voices in design, he’s excited to get to work on a true Gilded Age property. If only the owner had selected a contractor he enjoyed working with. Oh, Harper was brilliant and her work was excellent, but she has an opinion on everything—and it’s usually the opposite of his.
Over the course of the job, these enemies start to see different sides of each other, and suddenly their fights don’t seem so bad. But when the project is threatened, they might have to choose between their jobs and the beautifully designed future they could share.

I’m so happy this book is part of a series. It have my Bold Type vibes. I had read a similar book by Lauren Layne but this book still was its own star. It had romance, banter, and sisterhood. I loved every minute of it

Built to Last is the third and final installment in Lexi Blake's Park Avenue Promise series, and what a satisfying conclusion it is! The story brings back all the beloved characters while introducing new faces, such as Reid Dorsey and his brother, Jeremiah, who add depth and dimension to this heartfelt tale.
At first, I wasn't entirely sure where the plot was headed, but as the story unfolded, it all clicked into place. When Harper met Reid, sparks flew, and the chemistry between them became impossible to ignore. Blake masterfully takes readers full circle, returning to the "Gilded Age" property where the three young girls made their pact—a nostalgic nod to the series' roots.
The backdrop of a reality show focused on remodeling and restoring a home added a unique flair to the narrative. Lexi Blake’s writing style is as sharp as ever, skillfully capturing Harper’s biting sarcasm and Reid’s calming demeanor. The relationship between Reid and his brother, Jeremiah, was another highlight, with Jeremiah’s backstory enriching the emotional depth of the novel.
While I did manage to figure out parts of the plot by the midway point, Blake threw in a couple of unexpected twists to keep things engaging. However, there were minor elements that I overlooked and should have been caught…but that means the plot had an extra surprise. It’s nice when you can’t anticipate everything plot turn and the author case surprise readers.
Overall, Built to Last is a delightful read that ties up the series beautifully. Fans of Lexi Blake and the Park Avenue Promise series won't be disappointed. A big thanks to NetGalley for the advanced copy and to Lexi Blake for delivering another great story!
