Both Gillian and Noah feel a magnetism towards one another that is at odds with their garden war. With they both be able to bury the hurts of their pasts to be about to allow a relationship to flourish?

_____ 

I was excited about the premise of this one. I like a neighbor enemies to lovers romance. But this one was just okay. I feel like the build up to them getting together was much better than once they got together. Once they were together, their relationship lost any sparkle the banter of their pre relationship flirting had. 

_____

This is a closed door romance. There is implied intimacy and language. 

 Thanks to Netgalley and St. Martins Press for the book that I read along with the library audio.
