So guess who I’m accidentally living with? My ex. My brother’s best friend. And the grump I never got over.
Silas King is the absolute last man I want answering the door when I arrive in a bathrobe, one heel, and a storm of regrets. He’s off-limits, impossible, and somehow even more gorgeous than the day I left.
Then the door jams, the storm hits, and somehow the universe decides we’re roommates.
Every sarcastic jab sparks. Every accidental touch lingers. And every moment with his daughter pulls me deeper into the life I’m terrified to want.
He helps me clean up my chaos. He laughs when he thinks I’m not looking. He watches me like the past never stopped mattering. And that’s when it hits me—I’m falling for him again.
But just as I start to believe we might get a real second chance, my old life swoops in with a career offer I’ve fought years to earn.
The problem is, if I walk away this time…it won’t just break his heart—it’ll shatter mine.
Although this was a super cute read, it definitely had some missing details that needed to be included. It left me bridging the gaps myself and assuming things that might have happened. I understand it being a short story, but it has so much potential. I love the characters and the storyline, but would have enjoyed this more if the much needed back story, or details of characters were shared.
While I applaud anyone who writes a book, I am frustrated by unexplained things like gaps or defying time. But I am beyond frustrated by unexplained details in order to be creative. I understand this when you're writing a mystery, but a romance? Basic premise was good, but didn't enjoy the esoteric writing style.
Alright so this was a sweet, short read that I got for free. I enjoyed the moments between Brielle and Silas, and Maddie was adorable. I laughed more than once and did enjoy many of the moments between the characters.
I did, however, feel that chapters 1 and 2 felt disjointed and I was left with more questions than answers. I still can’t tell if Maddie is Brielle’s daughter or not. I also felt like there could have been a few more chapters to really flesh out events and the ending could have been a little more earned.
For the most part I did enjoy this story and thought it was a sweet, cute, short read.
This is a clean, sweet romantic comedy. I love the characters and the plot is entertaining. I would have loved to read the backstory, because that would have helped to understand everything better. It is still a nice, relaxing read!
