Publisher's summary
Lose yourself in this opposites-attract romance set on a sunny Malibu hillside.
Ivy Bauer is a young, bright soil scientist and inventor of a game changing organic irrigation system. She’s on top of the world when, suddenly, her husband is killed in a biking accident. Needing space to grieve, she takes a summer job as a gardener in Malibu.
Conrad Reed is a wealthy Hollywood has-been who, after the death of his wife, feels overwhelmed by the care of his anxious stepson Hudson, massive cliffside estate, and deteriorating career. He hopes Ivy will help take at least one thing off his plate. But the bossy, opinionated Ivy isn’t making things any easier for him. Sparks fly—and not the good kind.
But it’s when Ivy finds the key to Hudson’s heart that Conrad’s own heart begins to melt as well—and then the sparks that fly are the ones that kindle the best kind of love affair....

Ali Morris is a professional organizer whose own life is a mess. Her mom died two years ago, then her husband left, and she hasn’t worn pants with a zipper in longer than she cares to remember. No one is more surprised than Ali when the first time she takes off her wedding ring and puts on pants with hardware—overalls count, right?—she meets someone. Or rather, her dog claims a man for her, in the same way he claimed his favorite of her three children: by peeing on him. Ethan smiles at Ali like her pants are just right—like he likes what he sees.

Every family is complicated, and the Benedettos are no exception.

The story caught my attention from the start and kept it all the way till the end.
I am very familiar with Malibu and the Southern California area, all the references were spot on. I enjoyed all the detail that really brought it to life for me. I love the narrator and love the style of writing. My feeling as soon as the story ended was I want to listen to that again, and love,love, love, love, love.

This took a heavy subject grief. It was a great way to see the grief process and how to navigate through the pain & loss. It shows there is life, love and laughter in the process of grief. As always Therese Plummer does an outstanding job narrating.

Smart and delightful escapism!
I love this book! It was so much fun to listen to. Loads of behind-the-scenes Hollywood fun that can only come from someone who has lived that life, combined with smart, grounded science (Ivy, the leading lady is a PhD in soil science), beautiful scenery well described, fun sub plots that keep the story rollicking along. Loads of heart and healthy friendships between people who are fundamentally good and kind to each other. People you would want to be friends with.
The narrator was a perfect choice! Easy on the ears, she assumes all the characters seamlessly, and she disappears into the background allowing the story to take center stage.
All in all the perfect summer listen on a beach near you. Even if it’s only in your dreams.

Great summer reading
Libby Gill has written a very engaging book. Most importantly, all characters are totally believeable. By the end, I felt I really knew each of them and what they were feeling and experiencing . Readers will be rooting for each throughout. Can't wait for the next saga.

The well developed characters
First of all, Therese Plummer is one of my favorite narrators. I found this book because of her. There was a very good review left so I decided to try it. I agree with the other reviewer who said from the moment she started listening the book grabbed her attention and it did till the very end. I'm very picky about how a book is written, especially with changing conversations. I will definitely listen to another one of Libby's books.

Shallow story line
A quick, easy read. But the story line did not have any depth and was very predictable. The characters didn’t always fit with the story, i.e. a child of four years old having dialogue and emotions of a much older child. I didn’t get a feeling of the main characters being emotionally connected.
