Release Date: December 2
I never used to live my life by rules.
At least not until my fiancé betrayed me, turning my entire world upside down.
Unsure of how to move on, my luck seemed to suddenly change. My estranged mother's last gift to me before she died landed on my doorstep, giving me the opportunity to start my life over.
I snatched up the chance to leave my life behind in Minnesota, opening my arms up to the hot, sunny weather of Texas.
It was easy to start over in unfamiliar territory, my unofficial rules of heartbreak worn on my chest like a badge of honor.
But along with the house my mother left came a new neighbor. An obnoxious neighbor with dangerous glaring eyes and a set of abs that should be considered illegal. He was mysterious and full of secrets, a story hidden behind his hard exterior.
Before I knew it, Dallas Beckett was about to break all my rules.
I just didn't realize he had his own set, and I was about to put every one of them to the test.

MY REVIEW
Sloan's got nothing left for her, so moving to a new state to start over is perfect. Sure, she'll miss her brother and his husband, but they can come visit anytime. Now she just needs to settle in, make new friends and wait out the summer until her new teaching job starts. Perhaps her new hot neighbor is willing to be friendly. A couple of encounters later where he makes it clear he's not interested in even giving her his name, and Sloan's taken him off her list. Finding a new friend, and job, at a local bar, though, that will work. If only her grumpy neighbor hadn't already stamped his ownership all over the place. If only she could keep her heart from falling for the man as they find a mutual attraction exists, one they can indulge with no feelings involved.
Dallas knows he comes across as a playboy without a heart, but he doesn't care. His deep seated pain is no one's business, even to his new neighbor, the woman who's starting to slip past the walls he's built up to protect his heart. Can he open up completely to Sloan, or is he (and she) doomed to living his life with only one great love in his heart?
This story broke my heart a little (a lot). Dallas was in so much pain and it had kept him so distant from everyone. The way he hurt Sloan near the end was seriously painful, but even in that I could sympathize with him because his hurt was just so encompassing that it guided his behavior without him even realizing it. His and Sloan's story got to my heart, it was emotionally substantial, steamy, and made me so happy at the end. I can't wait to read more from this author now.
