When Gabrielle Solomon falls, she falls hard. Even if that means literally toppling over a porch railing in nothing but a flimsy towel—right in front of her sexy new neighbor.
Jay Stetson is 100 percent hero material with those arms, that chest, and his deliciously oh-so-sexy smirk. The chiseled hunk in flannel has an irresistible off-limits attitude while plucking Gabrielle out of the bushes and saving her from a snake. Unfortunately, he’s not indulging in what Gabrielle is offering—not with his emotional train wreck of a past.
Just neighbors. Just friends. Or so he says.
Secretly, he’s smitten with the single, fierce mama bear of two who plays Miss Fix-It at the house next door. He doesn’t even really mind the noise or the chaos her young sons cause. What he does mind is how his lonely heart races when looking into her emerald-colored eyes.
Can Jay let his painful memories go, or will he let the woman of his dreams slip between his fingers?
About The Author
My Review
Gabrielle returned to her hometown with her sons, Dylan and Carter, seeking a fresh start after the loss of her ex, who had been her best friend. Despite her grief and her boys struggling to adjust, she remained a devoted mother, doing everything she could to ease their transition. Though witty, funny, and full of charm, Gabrielle was still grappling with her pain, and when she moved next door to Jay, the light in her soul had yet to fully return.
Jay, scarred by a past relationship with a single mother who cut him off after their breakup, had withdrawn into a solitary life of work, occasional meetups with a friend, and meaningless flings. Helping the single mom next door wasn’t something he intended to get involved with, but his undeniable attraction to Gabrielle pulled him in.
Gabrielle, longing for love and connection, found herself drawn to Jay’s protective, bossy, yet unexpectedly charming nature. He made her feel alive again. But Jay’s unresolved demons made it difficult for him to commit, and he ran when things got tough. However, he quickly realized his mistake.
Their journey from unlikely friends to lovers was filled with banter, sass, and healing. Gabrielle helped Jay confront his fears, while Jay brought love and joy back into her life. Together, they broke down walls and found the love they both deserved.
