Publisher's summary

Opposites attract for two single parents in this heartfelt romance novel from New York Times bestselling author RaeAnne Thayne

Sometimes, the real crime is not giving in to love.

When ex-con Wes Calhoun moves into Brambleberry House, his neighbor Jenna Haynes gives him a wide berth. Widowed, and the former target of a stalker, the single mom errs on the side of extreme caution when it comes to men—and her heart. So Jenna vows to keep a neighborly distance. Until she needs help—and surly Wes comes to the rescue.

Jenna learns that Wes’s tattooed exterior belies his kindness, dedication to his daughter and his lonely heart. Wrongfully convicted and exonerated, Wes is just trying to piece his life back together. And he stirs feelings Jenna thought long buried. Should she trust an ex-con with her heart, or safely lock it up and throw away the key?

Thirteen years ago, a tragic fire left junior prom queen Eden Tempest orphaned and scarred, inside and out. Now she’s the town recluse—the complete opposite of Mason Powers, TV’s most famous renovator. But Mason is battling his own rocky past, and his and Eden’s attraction is undeniable. Is their unexpected connection enough to heal both their traumatic pasts and bring their beauty to the light?

Narrator not my favorite

I'm a big Rayanne Thayne fan and looked forward to this book release. Not sure if it's the narrator or the actual script, but I could get into this book. I think the narrator over did the performance as most of the characters came out as whiney when they spoke. Also trying to do the accent was not her strong suite. The story itself wasn't bad, but did not hold my interest as other RT books have done in the past. I hate giving bad reviews, but this one didn't hold me at all.
