In need of a new place to stay AND a break from her career, Chloe takes a housesitting job for a former baseball player. The story follows Chloe, a woman whose life is turned upside down when she discovers that her boyfriend – who is also her boss – is cheating on her. So it really didn’t deliver any of the things that I was hoping for, which is a major disappointment. (MINOR SPOILER) Not only does our heroine get cheated on by her ex, but she also gets harassed/assaulted by someone – both on the page. It also wasn’t that light or playful, to be honest. Romance novels have been getting longer and longer recently, so it was actually refreshing to start a light and quick rom com like this one, but it felt like the plot meandered so much that the focus was not on the romance. The interactions between this couple were just so surface-level, and their relationship development felt VERY rushed. This 3-star rating leans more towards a 2 than a 4, and that’s mostly because I was genuinely bored while reading. There was a time when Grey was one of my favorite rom com authors – if not my #1 – so it is REALLY disappointing to acknowledge how bland and generic this was. Three strikes, and… Grey is officially off my one-click list.
