Synopsis:
A single mom sworn off love falls for her cocky but secretly sweet neighbor during a summer stay—only to face secrets and an uncertain future.
My Thoughts:
This was my first book by Breanna Lynn, but definitely not my last! Jagger Brooks is the grumpy neighbor of the Airbnb Hayley rents for the summer while attending her best friend’s wedding. Recently divorced, Hayley’s focus is on her kids, while Jagger—known as the town playboy—secretly writes romance novels under a pen name. Frustrated by writer’s block and a bad review from a certain blogger, he’s struggling with his next book… until Hayley moves in next door.
From the start, their attraction is undeniable, but Jagger’s initial rudeness—especially toward her daughter—puts them at odds. However, once he apologizes, the dynamic between them shifts. If you’re not into insta-lust, this book might not be for you, but in this case, I didn’t mind it. A single kiss sets everything in motion, leading to a no-strings-attached summer fling—except neither of them expected real feelings to get involved. With Hayley’s stay being temporary, their relationship has an expiration date… or so they think.
I loved watching Jagger’s relationship with Hayley’s kids grow. He truly cared for them, and those little family moments made the romance even sweeter. Plus, he adored their dog! The spice? So good. And his dirty talk? Even better.
If you’re looking for a fun, light read between heavier books, this novella is perfect—it’s under 200 pages but still delivers a satisfying romance. In the end, everything falls into place, and they get their well-deserved HEA.
