New York Times bestselling sensation Kylie Scott’s sexy, smart and unconventional opposites-attract love story looks at what happens when fate refuses to give up on what’s meant to be…
When Susie Bowen inherits a charming fixer-upper from her aunt, she’s excited to start living her best HGTV life. But when she opens the door to find that her contractor is none other than her ex’s best friend, Lars—the same man who witnessed their humiliating public breakup six months ago—she isn’t exactly eager to have anyone around whose alliance is with the enemy. But beggars can’t be choosers, and the sooner the repairs are done, the sooner she can get back to embracing singledom.
Things go from awkward to unbelievable when Lars discovers a divorce certificate hidden in a wall and dated ten years in the future—with both their names on it. It couldn’t possibly be real…could it? As Susie and Lars work to unravel the document’s origins, the impossibility of a spark between them suddenly doesn’t seem so far-fetched. But would a relationship between them be doomed before it’s even begun?
“Sweet and spicy—the unique setup, top-notch banter and charming enigma had me hooked.” —Anna E. Collins, author of Love at First Spite
Review by Twinsie Angie
I was given this book for an honest review.
I, like most readers, am a huge Kylie fan. I look forward to her releases and can’t wait to get an ARC. I am very blessed to be allowed each and every ARC I have gotten. I was excited for the premise of this book. A divorce paper is found in a house with the date 10 years in the future. I am a huge paranormal fan, so this sounded cool. Sounded fun.
I started to story with a lot of excitement. I went in ready to laugh at the snark and banter we all love and expect. I gotta say this book seemed a bit lacking in what I hoped. The book for me seemed a bit long winded in parts. It felt like we relived the same conversations at times. I also feel like the paranormal sounding angle wasn’t really there. I will admit maybe me thinking/hoping for more of a paranormal angle took away from the enjoyment of the story.
Now I will say I enjoyed the characters Lars and Susie. It was fun to read and see them building while trying to figure out what in the heck about the certificate. They couple were sweet and the epilogue was great. I am sure I will be in the minority with my review. But I think I wanted something a little bit different.
I was given this book for an honest review.
I absolutely love Kylie Scott and enjoyed the Stage Dive series and Zombie books. I was so excited and honored to get this on as an ARC. After reading the synopsis I was ready to find out how this divorce certificate dated ten years in the future got in the wall. I thought we are going to have a mystery to solve and could we have some spiritual being involved but nope just the mystery of the document.
I enjoyed the characters in this book. I liked Lars and Susie even though they seemed to run in circles at times. However I really enjoyed Lars’s brother, Tore, and Susie’s bestie, Cleo, they were funny and I enjoyed the scenes they were in. Of course we also had those characters you don’t enjoy cough cough Aaron really what a douche. The story line was good. I have not read one like this before. I liked the idea of an acquaintance to lovers with a bit of mystery tossed in. I do have to say I did put the book down a few times just because it seemed like I was reading the same thing over again.
I will always be a Kylie Scott fan and will read anything she writes. There are always some great one liners and funny moments with her characters. You cannot help but love them. I will say I am intrigued by Tore and Cleo and would love a book about them.
