Look at this cover!! I absolutely love all of Jewel E Ann's books. So when I heard she was releasing a new book, I knew it would be amazing. Plus, how can you go wrong with a cover like this!
I was hooked from the very first chapter. I usually know right away if a book will be a 5 star pretty early on. This was definitely a 5 star!! Here is a synopsis of the book.
Flint Hopkins finds the perfect tenant to rent the space above his Minneapolis-based law office. All the t's are crossed and i's dotted on Ellen's application. Her references are good. And she's easy on the eyes. Until ... Flint discovers Ellen Rodgers, Board-Certified Music Therapist, plays music. Bongos, guitars, singing-not Beethoven administered through noise-cancelling headphones. The cut-throat attorney serves up an eviction notice to the bubbly, constantly humming redhead who's too sexy for her own good. But luck is on Ellen's side when Flint's autistic son, Harrison, takes an instant liking to her. A single dad can't compete with guitars-and rats. Yes, she has pet rats. This woman ... She's annoyingly happy with a constant need to touch him-adjust his tie, button his shirt, invade his space, and mess with his mind. Still ... She must go. Their lust-hate relationship escalates into something beautiful and tragic. This sexy, romantic-comedy explores the things we want, the things we need, and the impossible decisions parents and children make to survive.
My favorite line in the book...
She's flirting with me. Messing with me. Fucking with my head.
Another favorite...
The dark look he gives me makes the cool night feel like a hot July.
