Publisher's summary
From the mind that brought you Dirty Little Midlife Crisis comes a funny, fast-paced ride that starts with an impulsive revenge scheme but might just end up a love story.
Even after their breakup, Ellie Davis can’t seem to shake her ex-fiancé. First it was the cheating, then it was the rumors, and now she finds out Jason’s been trying to get his greedy hands on her parents’ property. Where does it end? With revenge, Ellie decides.
But she might just need a little help first.
Enter Fernley Island’s OddJobs app. When the local boat mechanic she hires sends his nephew instead, Ellie has to readjust her plans to account for Hugh Hartford, who’s handsome, brooding, and only in town for a few days. But he keeps showing up, so Ellie keeps hiring him. Little does she know Hugh has his own reasons for investigating Jason Brownlow…
As more evidence against Jason turns up, so does the heat between Ellie and Hugh. But if revenge is a dish best served cold, can their spark survive—or will the secrets between them burn it out?

Story
Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl. After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest. Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more. I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time. Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number. In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.

When I discover my boyfriend is cheating on me, I move out right away taking what I love most – my dog. As I fly out the door, I make sure to swipe the thing my ex loves best–the VIP tickets he won to a hockey game, complete with the chance to spend an evening with the city’s two biggest NHL stars. I can’t wait to snap selfies with my ex’s idols and rub it in his face.

I didn’t know bridesmaid was code for babysitter for the bride’s brother, but if that’s what my best friend needs of me for her dream wedding to go off without a hitch, that’s what I’ll do. Even if Theo Monroe has been a pain in my rear since third grade. Even if he should be responsible enough to not wreak havoc at his sister’s destination wedding.

It all started with an unexpected phone call. Two years after my fiancé passed away in an accident, his father died suddenly, leaving Brad’s adult special-needs brother with no one to care for him. The next thing I knew, I was on a cross-country drive to New Hampshire where I’d be moving in to look after Scottie until I could get him into a group home. The last thing I ever expected? I wouldn’t be taking care of him alone.

One minute you’re a struggling graphic designer in L.A. who's finally coming to terms with being single forever, and the next, you're flying to New York in a private jet to get engaged to your ex-boyfriend’s older brother. At least...that’s what everyone thinks. Forced to clean up his playboy image in order to protect his company, Beckham Sinclair, the city’s most eligible billionaire bachelor, wants me to be his fake fiancée and personal assistant. Now I'm spending every spare second with a man I thought I’d never see again.

I knew fixing up my life with a fresh start on the hobby ranch I inherited in Hell’s Bells, Wyoming, would come with challenges. Things like snow. Wildlife. Local gossip about why my daughter and I are here. But the biggest challenge? My surly new tenant. He’s like a bear. Fascinating from a distance, but don’t get too close, or he’ll bite. His personality should be a good thing. I have no need of a new man in my life. But he’s not only my tenant; he’s also my daughter’s math teacher and soccer coach.

It all started when I hosted a little party for a bunch of new friends. Though “friends” might not be the right word since the invitees were all the women I’d found out my boyfriend was talking to behind my back. When the guest of honor walked in—aka my now ex—things took a turn… Unfortunately, a stranger witnessed the whole blowout. I was in a mood that night and ended up giving this gorgeous guy an attitude, too. As if my night could get any worse, before he stormed off, he informed me he was actually my landlord.

When romance novelist Kate Smith suddenly gets writer's block as she's beginning the final installment of her international best-selling erotic Bed 'n Breakfast series, she'll do pretty much anything to get her groove back. Like sneak into a Tire Depot waiting room because her words flow there just like complimentary coffee - smooth, sweet, and scorchingly hot. She manages to fly under the radar until the rugged and charming mechanic, Miles Hudson, notices the quirky redhead slinking in and out of the employees-only entrance. But she's way too intriguing to blow the whistle on.

I’ve got a list of people I absolutely don’t ever want to be stuck with on a boat, or a plane, or a train, and it starts and ends with the broody, grumpy, too-sexy-for-my-own good Axel Huxley. Also known as this romance novelist’s number one nemesis. The man is legendary for his mighty pen and his even mightier scowl. I tried to work together with the cocky thriller writer once upon a time, but the two of us are like vodka and good decisions. We don’t play well together.

My new neighbor is a firefighter - and a scorching-hot single dad - but I swear I didn’t set off that smoke alarm on purpose. (And I was beyond mortified when he rushed in and saw me naked.) Nothing happened, of course - because I, Winnie MacAllister, romance junkie and owner of a constantly broken heart, have sworn off men for one solid year. Even protective men with chiseled jaws, bulging biceps, and deep brown eyes that make my breath come faster.

“Vibrant characters and comical shenanigans make this a treat.”—Publishers Weekly
“Monroe's tale is laugh-out-loud funny, making for a quick, enjoyable read.”—Booklist

They believe she's a good luck charm for her brother Jas, the newest Vancouver Canucks draft pick, forcing Ash to attend all his games as he rises up the NHL ranks, sacrificing her personal life (not that she has one—who decided hockey season needed to be 10 months long anyway?). Ash also clashes with Jas’s teammate, Canucks captain Devin Snyder.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

By night, they fight in a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse. By day, they are friendly next-door neighbors. Neither of them know that their alter egos are archenemies. I’ve spent my life training in the family business of slaying vampires, but I’m tired of all the death. I want to prove we slayers can help society, not just break it.

For the Lovely, there are two defining days in life, three if they’re fortunate. The first is at birth, when the one with whom they shared a womb forever joins the dead. The second is in their sixth year, when they touch their first stone and connect with the Realm. Olean knows this all too well, having accessed the Realm for years, reading people, seeing and feeling their thoughts and actions as if they were her own. Now that she’s of age and possesses a higher stone ability, her third defining day has come—a chance to join the prestigious Queen’s Garden.

His name is Pestilence. At least, that’s what they called him in college after an outbreak of a certain, ahem, intimately transmitted infection on campus. Now in his thirties, Leo St. James is fully reformed from his playboy past. He has a fiancée and everything. Oh, no, wait. He lied about that. His fiancée doesn’t exist. But when Leo’s boss sees him with his hand cupped around Amelia Darcy’s face, Leo has no choice but to call her his bride-to-be and promise to bring her to his company retreat.

Forty-five, recently divorced and a certified hot mess. The last thing Fiona needs to start her vacation is a flooded hotel room and a broken-down car. Alas, that’s what she gets. She’s ready to pack it all in and go home - wherever that is - when her knight in a wet T-shirt strides in to save the day. Jaw-dropping, panty-melting Grant Greene takes the 'mess' out of 'certified hot mess' when he walks up to Fiona and offers her a room to stay. No strings attached. Great, right?

Suffice it to say, Mia's forties aren't off to a good start. Until. A blind date turns to disaster, because that funny, charming guy she's been talking to? Yeah. That's Des. And he has a proposition for her.

I thought my invitation was a birthday present from my best friend. The dress, the limousine, the red carpet...I thought they were meant for me. That was mistake number one.

Hanky-panky with a rich hottie in the back room of the event I'm crashing? Don't mind if I do.

It was supposed to be an innocent night, celebrating my brother’s birthday. Nothing was supposed to go wrong. We’d vowed to be on our best behavior after all.... But it only took one rowdy night with my brothers to flip my world upside down. One unlucky encounter saddled us with a family curse and the promise of doomed relationships. I laughed it off immediately. “Yeah, right,” I thought. “A love curse. Ha!” Boy, was I wrong.

Decent but a bit frustrating!
I liked a good portion of the story but a few things drove me crazy. 1. Authors... Please stop with money is bad. Some people are terrible people but they are whether they have money or not. 2. The h is arrested for vandalism which would not happen if there was no damage. A good attorney would have torn the case apart. 3. The H ends up taking the blame for everything when the h finds out something she didn't know yet she gets a pass for her own bad behavior. The story is worth the read and I am sure others will love it.

Making issues out of something that’s not
I enjoyed parts of this book, but the h was hard to deal with. She blamed the H for withholding information that honestly had nothing to do with their relationship. I’m not a fan of books that makeup a problem in order to tell the story. I think it the author would have avoided creating that part of the storyline, it would have made for a better story.
I liked the h’s parents and I think the island people were interesting.

I was so addicted to this read - one sitting!
This gripped me RIGHT AWAY with the small town vibes and hilarity … soon I was completely lost to this novel as it also packs a cozy mystery, and absolute chaos. Toss in ‘I Love Lucy’ style antics (only more plausible / less ridiculous) and I was dying of laughter before long. Monroe is quickly becoming one of my top authors, the more of her work I read.
💛 He falls first.
💙 Scandal, lies, betrayal.
💛 Mysteries everywhere.
💙 Tons of witty banter.
💛 Trouble-making ‘old biddies’ who do more than gossip.
💙 Grand gesture—one of the best I’ve ever seen/read.
💛 Found family.
💙 Crime.
💛 Lovable canine secondary character.
💙 Personal growth in lead characters.
Overall:
I laughed, I felt tugs at my heartstrings, I was intrigued and I completely want to move to the town this is set in … and make best friends with Louie (the dog)! Highly recommend this read.
Absolutely dying for more in this world/ town. Monroe is a genius.
4.5 stars.
🎧 Audio:
Perfect. Overall sound quality is crisp and clear and the narrators were amazing—truly perfect.

Island Antics ♥️🎒🐑💙
I liked the writing style of the author and the characters for the most part are interesting, but Ellie was a hard sell. I thought she spent way too much time feeling sorry for herself and made Hugh pay for a mistake that I didn’t feel was that big of a deal. She does have a big heart and passion, which I did admire. Hugh was a good man who had his own past to overcome.
The island dwellers were entertaining and wouldn’t mind reading other books about them, I’m just not a huge Ellie fan.
Narrators did a nice job.

Typical Rom-Com
As my first dive into romantic comedy books, this book was easy to imagine as a movie. Some of the plot points were predictable, while there was one surprise right at the end. It's hard for me to believe love stories, but Amy Hutchins' narration made me feel what Ellie was feeling and imagine life through her eyes. I would've preferred if the entire book was narrated by Amy, but understand the need for the male perspective. I'm not sure if I'll be picking up another rom-com any time soon, but this was a good step outside my comfort zone and an easy listen.
