"Sexy, smart, playful, and poignant, DeWitt has created pure romance magic!" -Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of Love and Other Words
The all-new renovated edition with expanded scenes and bonus content!
They say love and construction don't mix. By that logic, hate and construction may as well be condemned.
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.
Filled with crackling tension, The Co-op is a steamy second chance romance about restoration and renovation, and uncovering all the things that build character within ourselves. It's about the never-ending construction project that partnership is, and finding enjoyment at every stage.

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.
Cute vacation read
It's a very nice read, for me it was a bit exhausting. It has some flashback chapters, that made me mad because it's about the first time they were together and you read them with the knowledge of the break up. I got very emotional and felt everything, I was mad and sad on their behalf. This book has a lot of feeling. But all in all I like the project they do together, they go through some tough times and the baggage they both carry, that always sets them back a step. At some point they start to talk about their problems and feelings which I enjoyed very much. They always try to lift each other up and support one another, which makes it a very lovely book. It also focuses a lot on losses and grieve and how they dealt with that. They talk about the hardships that follow not only the loss through death but also the loss of people who drift away, where relationships end with parents. It also talks a little about how both parties deal with the drift. Deacon is a golden retriever and always puts her first, while LaRynn is very feisty and strong willed and tries everything to appreciate him.
