BOOK SYNOPSIS:
A little home improvement can go a long way…
Jesse Oliver was a medic in Afghanistan, but back home in Pine Mountain he’s happy to switch gears as the Double Shot bar’s new sous chef. When his apartment floods and his old Army buddy offers the family’s dilapidated lake house as temporary quarters, Jesse thinks a little remodeling on the creaky duplex sounds like a fair return favor. That’s before he sets eyes on the gorgeous woman moving into the other side of the cabin—and discovers she’s his buddy’s kid sister, a.k.a totally off limits.
Kat McMarrin has fought hard for her space, and she’s not too interested in sharing it. Of course, her job as a physical therapist means she won’t see much of Jesse, even if he’s a few thin floorboards away—unless she seeks him out. And with his sculpted body and slow-burn gaze, she might be tempted. Maybe the fixer-upper projects she has planned for the cabin will keep her mind off him. Or maybe her instincts to strip the place down will get out of hand…
REVIEW:
3.75 Hearts This is a sweet novella of about 100 pages. It is part of the Pine Mountain series but can easily be read as a stand alone. Kat is a loner. She has never had a real home being an Army brat so having her space is important to her. Jesse never felt worthy of anyone’s love and when he sees Kat as much as he wants her doesn’t feel he measures up.
They have a very sweet connection. Something draws them to each other and while it is a quick read the story is fully formed. We understand the connection as a reader and do not feel rushed into the romance. I enjoyed the story a lot. I am glad they did not have a full story. To be honest these pages were the perfect fit for them. Sometimes I wish novellas would have been longer and sometimes I wonder how a novella could have gone on so dang long. But this one was a perfect quick read. And I look forward to the next in the series.
