Blurb
Send help and wine. My sister is trying to set me up with the grump next door.

Claire
A few hours after losing my job, I get a call from a stranger who claims I’ve inherited property from my father. I assume it’s a scam, because my dad is very much alive. Turns out my mother is the liar.

I board a flight to my bio-dad’s hometown, hoping for answers, but the turbulence is so bad I worry we won’t make it. Declan, the hot, tattooed hunk next to me, is obviously terrified too. When the plane freefalls for half a second, he kisses me with the passion of a man who thinks he’s about to die. He seems to regret it immediately afterward—and we both regret it when we discover he’s my new next door neighbor, a complication neither of us wants.

To make matters worse, it turns out my bio-dad’s cabin is only half mine. The rest belongs to a half-sister I didn’t know I had—Nicole, a pink-haired private investigator and possible psychopath.

If I weren’t unemployed and broke, I’d leave, but this crappy half-a-house is my only possession. So I stay in the hopes that I can convince her to sell. Unfortunately, she seems intent on setting me up with Declan, among other manipulations, and her matchmaking tactics are…extreme.

Declan
I came to the mountains to hide and be left alone, and now I’m never alone.

Every time I turn a corner, I run into Claire Rainey. She’s tempting as hell, particularly now that I’ve had a taste of her, but I know better than to wrap her up in my trouble—or get wrapped up in hers.


MY REVIEW


Claire is on her way to confront the ghost of the father she didn't know she had. Her dad was always well...her dad, but it turns out her mother had lied. Now she's inherited a house from a father she didn't know, and the small town is quirky to say the least. And her new neighbor? The man who kissed her then ignored her the rest of the flight in. Sigh...


Declan's got a secret or two beneath his brooding exterior. But his new neighbor is making him want to bare his soul to her. Her sunshine is calling to his grumpy and making him feel. He certainly did not expect this when he laid a kiss on her, thinking their plane was going down. But now he's got a choice in front of him - tell her the truth and risk her being disgusted, or stay quiet and push her away.


So much fun! Claire doesn't know what to think of Nicole at first, but she soon recognizes just how awesome she is, intense personality and all. And then there's her broody, secretive Declan, once his secrets came out, I gotta say I loved him even more because of everything he had gone through and yet was still such a beautiful soul, even if he didn't think so. Their chemistry is whew!, the mystery and question of what had really happened, added a layer of suspense to this already excellent romance, and by the time the dust had settled, I was smiling with a happy heart that this adorable couple finally found their happy ever after.


Meet Angela Casella
Angela Casella lives in Asheville, North Carolina in an almost-one-hundred-year-old house with her daughter, two dogs, and an ever-changing number of fish. She worked as a developmental editor for years, both as a freelancer and at Random House in NYC before she started writing (inspired by her friend and frequent co-author Denise Grover Swank!). Now, it's become an addiction, and she'd rather not be cured, thank you very much.

She comes from a loud Italian American family, so she basically has a phD in bickering...er...banter.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
