Meddling With Maverick

by D.J. Jamison

Meddling with Maverick is my favorite pastime...

When pranking my neighbor backfires and he lets the Matchmaking Mamas set him up, it's my duty to keep an eye on his dates.

If I sabtoage them in the process, that's just coincidence, right?

But when I call Maverick's bluff that I could be a better date, I find myself in the matchmaking hot seat.

I've been straight all my life, but the prospect of a real date, real kisses, maybe even real love with a man doesn't scare me.

It's easier to meddle with Maverick with an invite to his bed.

In fact, maybe I'll just meddle with him for life.

The prank war between Maverick and Damon has been going on for a while now. When these two neighbors get off on the wrong foot, it escalates more and more each day as they drive one another crazy. But could be there be a little spark between them underneath it all? Though they may both deny it at first, it isn’t until Damon’s prank on Maverick to deal with the matchmaking Mamas backfires on him. And suddenly watching his neighbor go out on dates… well, that hits a very strong jealous chord in him. Especially when he knows none of those guys are good enough for Maverick. These two were so much fun! I loved their enemies to lovers vibe. Their prank wars were really funny but when it came down to realizing that their feelings for one another was the opposite of hate, it just made it so much sweeter to see come to the realization and finally act on it. And of course, you gotta love the matchmaking Mamas. Interfering and taking all the credit! A really fun story and I can’t wait for the next one!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Cute romance between Maverick the florist and Damon the construction worker. They share a duplex, but got off to a bad start when Damon first moved in. They've been pranking each other for a long time, but eventually realize that what they both thought was annoyance is actually attraction.

When Maverick decides to let the matchmaking women in town set him up, Damon realizes that he's jealous of the guys Mav is going on dates with, and that HE wants to be the one Mav is set up with. He comes to terms, pretty quickly, with being bi, not straight, and gets around to romancing Mav.

This book is cute, fun, and light. Lots of spice, lots of fun side characters (lots of old Granville residents we've met in other books). Looking forward to the next one.
