The Six Month Lease
by Melanie Munton
This book has a really fresh premise that I totally loved. After a whirlwind two weeks of romance, West and Harper sign a six month lease on a rental house and then break up. Forced to live out the lease with their ex brings lots of sexual tension, pranks, and heat!
This book had great fighting and banter between these two and their chemistry was OFF THE CHARTS HOT. The steamy scenes are extra steamy.
I had a few issues with the book, the first and really major one was the repeated use of the term "Pale Face" to describe a character. The publishers and author really should have done a minute or two of research to recognize that this term is extremely offensive. It is a term created by WHITE people in Hollywood to ascribe to Native Americans being bloodthirsty and violent towards white Americans. It was started in an effort to make the movie audience feel like Native Americans were racist towards white people and plotting to destroy them out of hatred. It's just insanely not okay to use this term any form.
Besides that awful oversight, this story had a few issues. The leading lady suffers from TSTL Syndrome (Too Stupid To Live). You repeatedly shake your head and wonder how an adult female is this blind and idiotic. She is still fairly liable, but it's really annoying.
Overall, a good premise, some good banter, but not a great book.
I received and free ARC of this title from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
