*I got this book from the publisher via NetGalley for an honest review*

Guys. I lied. Last month (well last week) I said that I was going to avoid romance novels for awhile. oops. guess that didn't last long. This book was written well. Honor Brown moves into a fixer upper to be closer to her ill and elderly grandfather. She meets her neighbors, Jason and his brother Hogan and Hogan's son Colt. She's immediately drawn to Jason, but she's hesitant to let him in because she hasn't had that many great experiences with loving relationships (mostly from her family.) As she starts to fix up her house, coming and leaving at odd hours Jason notices, they slowly start to fall for each other. Don't forget about the random (or maybe not so random) break in's that keep happening to her home, and what's gonna happen with her family when her grandfather passes?

The romance in this story I felt was semi-realistic. It kind of happened quickly, and then slowed down. I also wasn't sure what was going on when halfway through the book we suddenly start hearing the story from Lexie's(Honor's best friend) point of view. Most of the book was either Jason or Honor, and then all of the sudden randomly Lexie and Sullivan. I felt that was a little unnecessary because it didn't really add to the whole story, especially since I'm assuming the next book in this series will be about Hogan and not Lexie or Sullivan. Anyway, that bugged me a little ( part of why I gave this book three stars). The other reason it only got three stars because at the end I was kinda like "meh" it wasn't the greatest book I've ever read, but it wasn't the worst. Just right there in the middle.
