Diana Dixon has a lot going on this summer. She’s rehearsing for a ballroom dance competition, juggling two jobs, and dealing with an ex-boyfriend who can’t take the hint it’s over. Yet despite all that, she still has plenty of time and energy to tell Shane Lindley to screw off.
Shane just moved into her apartment building and seems dedicated to sleeping his way through her entire cheerleading squad. Sure, he’s a tall, gorgeous hockey player, but he’s messing with her turf. This calls for some ground rules: no parties in her apartment, leave her teammates alone, and—most importantly—leave her alone.
What Diana doesn’t realize is that Shane’s sick of hookups and tired of being on the rebound after his long-term girlfriend called it quits. He wants a relationship. And when his ex comes back into the picture, he pretends he has one to make her jealous…and who better to play the girlfriend role than his sassy new neighbor?
Despite Diana’s reluctance to break her rule, a fake relationship is the perfect solution for her own ex issues, and soon she can’t deny something is sizzling between her and Shane. Something hot and completely unexpected.
Diana and Shane’s chemistry was off the charts. I LOVED the angst. Their two different personalities came together in the best way. Deep down, who knew Shane was such a softy?!! He said so many sweet things to Diana, their relationship was easily my fave. She is such a strong and fierce FMC and i was emotionally invested in her experiences. IYKYK about that couch scene – one of the hottest spicy scenes for a contemporary romance (I need more of Will). The found family of this series is so wholesome, not just the scenes with the OG’s but the new generation friend group as well. I will never stop gushing over seeing Garrett be a girl dad I absolutely loved this book, the banter between them all had me laughing out loud several times.
I had to give this one four stars. The romance and spice is well balanced with engaging plot and emotional depth. This book touches on some heavier subjects which are listed on the trigger warnings. This delivered in all aspects for me and the no third act breakup really sealed the deal. I can’t wait to learn more about Charlie in the next book!
