Synopsis
Rachel Bradford is finally living her dream as the star of her own interior design show. But ratings are slipping, and if she wants to save the show, she has to set an episode in the hometown she fled. Worst of all, she’s going to have to work with the cocky bad boy who humiliated her.
Single dad, Beckett Colburn plans to turn an old fire station into a neighborhood bar. He’s blindsided when he discovers his family made a deal to turn his dream into a reality TV project. He’d rather run into a burning building than work with his childhood nemesis--on camera.
But it’s not easy with a TV crew in town stirring up trouble, spreading rumors, creating buzz. Not to mention the inconvenient sudden attraction that sparks every time Rachel and Beckett fight.
Review
It's such a fun read. I enjoyed it thoroughly. The characters, the settings, and the story are all perfect. It's one of the best romance novel I have read this year. It has enough drama, intrigue, and romance to keep readers entertained without overdoing anything. The story is about two people who know each other a long time ago and didn't get along. Now they are meeting again, both expecting to despise the other just as much as before, but they are surprised to find out that things are different now. They have both done a lot of growing up and life has taught them enough lessons that neither of them is the same person. But do they have any chance of happiness together or not is yet to be seen. After all, they still want different things and have every different plans for themselves. All in all, this is book is perfect. I'm glad to have read this sweet and romantic story and would recommend it to all romance lovers.
