I've enjoyed the previous T.L. Swan books I've previously read, so when I saw this included with KU I decided to pick it up. 

Juliet has the most perfect date with Henley James, so when he doesn't call after, she's destroyed. Color her surprised when a few years later she buys a house and moved into his neighborhood full of bachelors. The two can't get along after their misunderstanding but they also can't fight their attraction to one another. But Henley's got deeper demons than Juliet knows. Can she break through to him?

I liked this one a lot, but it felt like it went on a little too long. I enjoyed it very much!

mixed thoughts

I really wanted to like this book and I kept reading in hopes it would give me what I was looking for but there were a few things that drove me a little crazy. ** This does contain spoilers **


He didn’t call her bc he had to work and that was it? I feel like that was such a lame excuse and could’ve been a bigger deal….

The change between scenes was so abrupt that it almost made it hard to keep track at times. Even something like a symbol between the paragraphs would have helped because it was a bit all over the place.

I didn’t like that we never found out how his mom passed and what was so traumatic that caused him to be the way he was.

She is a beg. He’s weird. Relationship was toxic and a MASSIVE ICK.
