Exciting and entertaining! Landon is the grumpy Fritz, the guy who was widowed when his daughter Stella was a toddler and since then has been living in guilt over the death of his wife. She died in a car accident. He was adamant that he would never love again, and his only love was his daughter who was his reason for living. He’s the cardiologist among the Fritz doctors. Funny that he’s a cardiologist but he insists he has no heart left.
Elle divorced her famous golfer husband for mental abuse. The last two years of her marriage he had been horrible and she was done. She moved to Chicago to start a new life, got a job as a history teacher at Wilchester Prep. On her first day in Chicago, she had a one night stand with this gorgeous guy called Luca. She never expected to see him again. But next day, she moved into her new house and guess who is her new neighbor? And on top of that, she learns his name is really Landon and he was using his twin brother’s name. Instant hate! They decide they will hate each other and not talk.
Then Elle starts school, she’s loving it and turns out that Landon’s daughter Stella is one of her students and Stella gets very attached to Elle. Poor Landon is besieged by Elle everywhere he turns and what’s more, he’s more and more attracted each time he sees her.
This story was incredibly entertaining with all the side plots included. Stella’s story with Elle was very tender, she needed a woman’s attention and she got it in spades from Elle. There’s a low thrum of tension coming from Elle’s ex-husband who won’t stop calling and her parents who keep insisting she fix things up with the ex. Then her twin sister who is like the wicked witch of the west, also turns up calling. She’s besieged by the past when she wants to start a bright new future.
I loved the characters, the Fritz brothers already feel like family, and now Stella. I loved how Landon resisted and resisted and fell anyhow, like a sack of potatoes. When he finally stops resisting, the story turns so magical and romantic. This guy had it inside and it was festering and it was beautiful when he let go and start ripping those smiles. Lovely and tender story!

A soulful serenade with an ever changing voice. Landon and Elle are lyrically stunning, but slightly off key. Saman speaks the language of love with a brokenness that is drowning in beauty. Doctor Heartless seduces with heartache and inspires with emotion. You can't help but fall in love.
single dad.
second-chance romance.
forced proximity.
let me start with all the books in these series give you old Grey’s anatomy vibes and my medical heart loves it.
Elle has moved to Boston for a fresh start after going through a nasty divorce and Landon is a single dad after his wife passed away years ago. After one night in a hotel they think they will never see each other again, but then Elle turns out to be Landon’s daughters teacher and their next door neighbor.
Being close together they can’t fight the feelings they have for one another. Landon hasn’t let anyone in since his wife and seeing him work through the struggle of feeling like he was worth love again was beautiful. Elle left an abusive relationship and seeing her strength and resilience as well as all the advice she gave stella (Landon’s daughter) we could all learn a few lessons from her. Also not to mention the sexual tension and spice in this one…..phew the window scene and the ferris wheel

The story follows Landon, a man who has loved and lost. He’s a widower with a teenage daughter, and he locked his heart away when his wife died. So when Landon meets a beautiful woman in a bar, it’s just supposed to be a one night stand – even if they have a great connection. He’s not emotionally available for a relationship, and Elle is newly divorced with plenty of her own issues. But when Landon discovers that Elle is his new neighbor and his daughter’s new teacher, all of those good intentions fly out the window. They have the kind of chemistry that’s impossible to ignore, and they’re drawn together despite both of their hesitations. Their story started on a lie and she wasn’t asking questions prepared to start her new life as a divorcee but they soon learn of the repercussions.

She found her own worth. Her own strength. She found it in herself.
After how she was treated by ex husband and her family, that's a big thing.
Landon and Stella helped reinforce that belief by being themselves...even if Landon was an azzhole for a long part of it.
