Description
From best-selling author Xavier Neal comes a slow-burn romance that's full of the unexpected...
They say all the best things in life are free.
I say all the best things in life are easy.
That is until easy gets me put on house arrest where I'm stuck with an estranged aunt, a needy cat, and drinking lemonade instead of tequila.
Easy suddenly becomes hard.
I basically have to sweat to get paid.
I finally realize that great cheesecake doesn't magically materialize.
And I have to deal with a law-appointed babysitter constantly showing up to c-block my chance of proving to the drop-dead gorgeous neighbor - who I want screaming my name every night - that I'm more than just the crime I committed.
All the best things in life may be easy, but I'm slowly learning that all the greatest require real work.
Real effort.
And most importantly, real sacrifice.
Reviews
A sweet slow burn.
5By Morgen FrancesThe characters drew me in. They felt real to me. Their emotions had depth and their chemistry was off the charts. I enjoyed the angst between them and seeing them battle their desires internally. A sweet and heartfelt story I couldn’t get enough of. The story moved well and kept me on my toes. I never could quite guess what was happening next.Great story with a lot of heart!
5By ravensfantiffanyAbsolutely loved this book!!! I loved how it showed the change in Theo and his awakening to how his life got to the way it was. I also loved seeing how Lane and her love helped Theo realize that he could be better and wanted to be. Lane showed all of her strength and love and was a perfect match for Theo. Also enjoyed the side parts of the story - cleaning up corruption in the police force and the struggles of ex-cons after being released. Definitely worth the read and I can’t wait to read the next in the series!!
