About this audiobook
"I loved this delightful romance about makeovers of old homes, old personas, and relationships that never had a chance to launch. A sweet, charming reminder of what you can build with a strong foundation." - Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Two Ways
Erin Hahn's Built to Last is a sparkling second chance romance about owning what you’re worth and fighting for the one who got away.
Shelby Springfield has spent the last ten years trying to overcome her past, sanding it away like she does the rough spots on the vintage furniture finds she makes over. But as a former child star, it’s hard to forget a mediocre pop career, a meltdown widely documented by the paparazzi, and a huge public break with her former co-star Lyle Jessup. It’s also hard to forget her other co-star and childhood sweetheart, Cameron Riggs -- the one who got away.
Anytime Shelby has called, Cameron has come running… And then he runs right off again to chase stories around the world by making documentaries, too scared to admit what he really wants. But when Lyle stirs the pot, getting the two back in the spotlight with a home renovation show, Cameron can't help but come on board.
There's something in it for everyone -- almost. Cameron wants to come home and set down some roots. Shelby wants to prove to the world she's not the messy party girl anymore. And Lyle wants to twist the screws on his two childhood friends who had more chemistry than he could dream of with anyone. Sparks and sawdust fly as Shelby and Cameron film the pilot for "Homemade" and battle Lyle’s shenanigans at every turn.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is my first read by Erin Hahn, and it was great! I’m usually not a big fan of Hollywood romances and this is an interesting twist on that trope. The H and h are relatable and the story.line was engaging. Overall a sweet romance, it includes a few steamy scenes and strong chemistry throughout. Narration was exemplary! I can’t wait to read another of Hahn’s books and hope this is a series.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Nothing remarkable. There's no heartbreak. There's self-discovery, rekindled relationships and venturing into new life paths of life.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book was a strong 4.5 for me, and I don’t even usually like books where the main characters are “celebrities”.
This was a sweet and refreshing love story, which is sometimes just what the dr ordered.
My enjoyment of the book was ABSOLUTELY ENHANCED by the STELLAR narration job by LISA ZIMMERMAN and KALE WILLIAMS. They aren’t big names in romance, and they SHOULD be. I hope they do more. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Enjoyable romcom. The friend group is nice, and supportive. I love a happy ending! The friends to lovers, & the second chance romance is all here. As well as some funny moments. ? Would definitely recommend to folks looking for this kind of adult romance.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wonderful story!! I didn’t want it to end and I cannot wait for the next book!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I didn’t want it to end!!! I appreciate that it doesn’t follow the usual romcom formula. Characters are nicely developed and the narrators are perfect. My only disappointment is, as of December’22, this is Erin’s only romcom book that’s not for YA (I’m a romance lover not in that category). Please, write more, lots more! And make it available on Scribd.
