BLURB
From USA Today and Amazon Charts bestselling author Meghan Quinn, comes a new age-gap standalone romantic comedy featuring a new cast of characters that will immediately have you hooked. This steamy, enemies-to-lovers small town romance delivers the perfect happily ever after every romance lover craves.
Why am I holding a box of stolen memorabilia formerly owned by my ex-boyfriend’s boss in my arms? It’s called . . . revenge.
After failing my last semester for my masters degree, I decided to come back to my hometown of Almond Bay and wallow in self pity while my boyfriend told me everything was going to be okay. To my dismay, instead of open arms, he greeted me with a box to move my things.
Now I’m not a petty person, but when he told me he broke up with me because I was boring, there’s only so much of the higher road I can take. Hence the box of memorabilia I took from him.
The plan? To give it back to his boss, who happens to be my brother’s nemesis, and get the ex fired. But plans never go the way you want them, because instead of dropping off the box with a note, I’m pinned with the crime by Hayes Farrow himself.
And because my life is so pathetic, he gives me two turn me into the police and press full charges or . . . work it off. How could I possibly work for someone I can’t stand? Easy, I don’t look good in orange.
But working for Hayes isn’t as horrible as I thought it would be. The hate I had for him begins to turn into something else – something deeper, something I never thought I’d feel.
Unfortunately there are still old grudges and family drama to deal with. And what happens when my brother finds out that I’m working for the guy he hates more than anyone else in the world? Will I be able to follow my heart or will the way I hate him blind me from the love I feel?
“Everyone has flaws, Keller. It’s what being a human is all about. No one is perfect.”
ARC REVIEW
Time to back to bags and head back to Torskethorpe!
I loved seeing the struggles these two experienced. I loved that it wasn’t just sunshine and rainbows, but this was real, raw, and emotional. Life isn’t perfect, relationships aren’t perfect. People struggle and add in the extra stress that these two have can be a lot. Though, they could have communicated better, but I get Keller isn’t one to just talk about his feelings.
I love the love these two have for each other, they both of a duty to the country, but they also have a duty to each other and their relationship. There is a struggle to find that balance at times. I love seeing them try to find that balance and it wasn’t easy.
Keller and Lilly experience a lot of ups and downs. There is some pain and heartbreak mixed in to their story. I felt for Lilly, I felt like I could feel her pain at times. This book felt real and raw, but it was also full of laughs and spice.
