EXCERPT
“I’m going to tell Oliver everything. Today.”
Sunny ended the call, chucked the phone onto the bed, and stormed from the room before she talked herself out of her decision. A couple of minutes later, she let herself into Oliver’s home.
“Hello?” Listening, the only sound within the house was the tick-tock from the grandfather clock in the hallway. She shrugged out of her jacket and hung it on the rack before making her way to his office.
It was empty, but the aroma of a steaming mug of coffee on his desk called to her. Sunny meandered over and took a sip. One sip led to a second, and she settled into his chair, closing her chilled hands around the ceramic, figuring he wouldn’t mind if she waited.
He might object to her finishing his coffee, and the thought brought a smile to her lips. She could always offer to pay penance.
But her smile dimmed as she remembered her reason for the visit. Oliver deserved the truth before he — either of them — took that final step.
Hopefully, he would be as understanding as she reckoned. Then again, his wife was a murder victim. And taking on the Jones girls and their baggage was a huge commitment. And maybe he wasn’t the man she thought him to be.
Urgh. Stop second-guessing yourself.
She placed the mug down, accidently knocking the mouse. The monitor lit up, drawing her gaze.
Shock bulleted through her.
The words filled her vision, ricocheting in her mind. She shook her head and read them again.

MY REVIEW
Oliver too has started over, with his son and his father. His past is one filled with grief, but when he meets his new neighbor and her girls, he starts to see that maybe a new future could be in store for him. But only if he can get past Sunny's walls, and if their pasts don't collide in horrible ways.
I absolutely loved Noble Neighbor!! Sunny, Oliver, their adorable children, and Oliver's dad made a tight unit, and I could just feel all the love, even if Sunny kept him at a distance for quite awhile. There's intense chemistry, lovable kids and dads, emotional highs and lows, and a couple I was so rooting for. There's a little twist, that, while I guessed it fairly quickly, helped propel the story even further. Altogether this is a fabulous story with a wonderful cast of characters. I am definitely looking forward to much more from this author now.
