Release Date: April 12
I moved to Chicago six months ago, determined to finally open my own bakery. My landlady was this sweet woman who treated me like her granddaughter.
Then she sold the house. Now the devil himself is my landlord and neighbor since I live in the guesthouse on his property. Declan Maxwell is moody, unreasonable, and takes himself far too seriously. Unfortunately for me, he’s also damn sexy.
When he shows up on my doorstep in the middle of the night ordering me to turn down the music, I give him hell. Secretly, I’m also checking him out. We go toe to toe like this almost every night.
The man is impossible. But here’s the thing. I need a place to stay while I save for my business and this place is a steal. So, I need to put up with this handsome devil, though from a distance—because he’s far too gorgeous.
Then one day I come home injured from work and he surprises me by taking care of me.
And kissing me.
And just like that, all my best intentions go up in smoke.

MY REVIEW
Liz's new landlord is a grumpy grump. A hot grump, but definitely a grump. Yes, she plays her music after hours, way after hours, but the volume isn't loud at all. She even tested it to make sure. He must have the hearing of a superhero or something. All she knows is she has to make it through these next few months to save enough money to open her own bakery. She can put up with the grumpiest (hottest) landlord, ever, if in the end she gets to achieve her dreams. She'll just have to do her best to avoid anymore run-ins with him. But when he starts showing her a different side to him, will she be able to resist him?
For an enemies-ish to lovers, grumpy/sunshine romance, Show Me Forever is surprisingly light-hearted. Declan actually isn't a jerk, just serious and yes, grumpy. He's a big sweetheart used to taking care of people, namely his siblings and his clients, so it makes complete sense he'd be drawn to his sunshiney new tenant who definitely needs a bit of help. The way they fell in love was sweet and low on the drama - another great addition to the Maxwell Brothers series.
