First of all thank you to TL and her team for the ARC. This book was a roller coaster of emotions. I laughed, yelled, gasped, and cried.
This story is about Juliet, a lovely patient woman who falls head over heels for this hot man she met one night. They have a great time and then he doesn’t call her back.
Fast forward three years and she’s moving into a new home starting a new life. And who’s her new neighbor? None other than Henley James.
He’s got a lot of baggage. And there were so many times I wanted to bury him myself. But under all that trauma, he’s got a great heart.
I loved this book and if you love grumpy alpha controlling men, neighbors, enemies to lovers, then this is for you.
Just a warning; the mc deals with loss and grief. Take care of yourself while reading.

T. L. Swan is heavily recommended on Instagram and I can’t say that I’ll be reading another title by her. I am not a fan of overly dramatic couples with poor communication. I also want my fictional men to treat women with respect, whether they are talking about them behind closed doors or interacting with them face to face. This just wasn’t for me.

It was good for what it was. I was a bit annoyed with the MMC being hot and cold all the time. He also said some pretty terrible things to the FMC, that she seemed to forgive pretty quickly. Definitely not something I’d do. Needed more groveling on his part. I liked the jealousy. Hated his hypocrisy when it came to his female secretary. Was confused about the history of the FMC’s house. The MMC seemed to have a lot of knowledge and attachment to her house, but never said why… unless I missed that? Will continue with the series

An easy, enjoyable read. A little predictable, but most romance novels are.
