Publisher 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.
Customer Reviews
HEA with some tough topics mixed in
How have I never read a Xavier Neal book before now?! With the re-release of this book, I jumped on it and haven’t regretted a single second of sleep I lost! This book was amazing and a great introduction for me to this author. The dual POV and interchange between 1st and 3rd person was so fun to see the banter, inner thoughts and interaction. Thoroughly enjoyed the witty chemistry between the characters, steamy scenes and so glad there was a HEA with no cliffhanger and an epilogue.
A sweet slow burn.
The 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!
Absolutely 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!!
