About the book

¿The all-new renovated edition with expanded scenes and bonus content! ¿

'Sexy, smart, playful, and poignant, DeWitt has created pure romance magic!' CHRISTINA LAUREN

'Cleverly constructed, laugh-out-loud funny, heart-achingly tender, and deeply sexy' KATE CLAYBORN

¿¿¿¿They're playing house . . . while the walls are coming down

LaRynn Lavigne and Deacon Leeds had one short and contentious summer fling when they were teens-certainly nothing to build a foundation on. But a decade later, when their grandmothers have left them with shared ownership of their dilapidated Santa Cruz building, they're thrust back together and have to figure out how to brace up the pieces.

LaRynn has the money, but in order to access her trust, she has to be married. Deacon has the construction expertise, but lacks the funds. A deal is struck: Marry for however long it takes to fix up the property, collect a profit, and cut ties.

Thrust into a home without walls, LaRynn and Deacon quickly learn that it's easy to hide behind emotional ones, even in a marriage. But with all the exposure and pitfalls that come with living with the opposite sex (and none of the perks, much to their growing mutual frustration) they'll also have to learn what it means to truly cooperate as a team.

Trope check ¿
- Marriage of convenience
- Forced proximity

    Eine schöne Geschichte für zwischendurch

    Die Geschichte war an sich sehr schön. Ich habe ein kleines bisschen gebraucht um in die Geschichte hereinzukommen. In diesem Buch geht es um Larynn und Deacon. Diese haben von ihren Großmüttern ein Haus vererbt bekommen. Um dieses Haus verkaufen zu können, müssen sie dieses erst einmal renovieren. Nach und nach erfährt man von der Vorgeschichte von den beiden Protagonisten, aber Larynn ist etwas verschlossen. Die Protagonistin mochte ich anfangs garnicht da sie jeden immer verschlossen und schlecht gelaunt rüber kam. Erst später konnte man die wahre Larynn kennenlernen. Der Schreibstil ist flüssig und das gesamte Buch lässt sich angenehm lesen. Also eine Empfehlung für zwischendurch.

    just wow

    so i actually bothered to put together the playlist that was shown in the beginning of the book and just wow. what a beautiful book. the songs fit like perfection. as a tall girl, it’s hard to find representation in romance books. i’ve noticed that the female main characters are often described as „small“ and what not. this? this healed a part of me. this book was absolute perfection. the way they love each other. the way they work through things together instead of randomly splitting up. i want someone to look at me as they blow out the candle on their birthday cake. i wanna be someone’s birthday wish.

»Ich will, dass du bei mir bleibst, und ich will, dass du mich niemals verlässt. Ich will deine Haarnadeln überall, deine Haare im Abfluss, und ich will dich schnarchen hören.« 🥺😭❤️❤️
