One Look by Lena Hendrix
5.0

4.5/5⭐️

Wyatt is a former NFL player who has now been hired as a coach for a college football team. When he goes back to his hometown after years to attend a funeral, he meets Lark.

Lark is an actress who works as a mourner for hire and is hired to mourn at this funeral in Outtertowner. No one knows her, and everyone in town is intrigued by her presence.

Wyatt and Lark's first meeting was less than cordial where she literally falls into a grave because of Wyatt. They start off with throwing snarky comments at each other and want to never see each other again. But that doesn't work out too well when they both decide to stay in town and end up being neighbours.

Wyatt is looking for a place to settle down in so he can provide some stability for his 7 year old daughter after moving 3 times in the last 3 years. A place to call home. When Penny gets attached to his family in Outtertowner, he relents and decides to stay in his hometown and travel out of town for work. He's trying his best to be a good father to Penny while also making sure he's keeping his team in line and training them for a winning season.

Lark is used to moving from place to place whenever she's hired. Staying in Outtatowner was a small break for the summer while she waits for any news of job opportunities in LA.

While in town, Wyatt and Lark keep running into each other and ending up in weird situations.

When things get too much to handle, Wyatt asks Lark to be his personal assistant and help him handle his work and keep 3 college kids from his team out of trouble and look out for Penny when he's not around since they're neighbours.

As time goes by Wyatt realizes that there's so much more to Lark than what he initially assumed about her and can't help but get attached. And so does his daughter.

Lark has been moving around, working, waiting for her big break all this time, but she slowly settles into this town and starts feeling like she belongs there, with these people, especially with Wyatt and Penny. She doesn't know how she's gonna be able to leave when the summer ends.

And the SPICEEE... DAMNNNN.. A grumpy single Dad with a filthy mouth???? Umm... Sign me the fuck up
