About this listen

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. Even former SEALs with broad chests and strong hands that make my skin sizzle. Even gorgeous, grumpy guys who have their hands full raising two adorable little girls and claim they don’t believe in love.

Until Dex kisses me one night, and I drop all my defenses.

(Also my underwear.)

He says he’s not gentle, and he’s right. He says I should take the dream job I’m offered in another state, and he’s right. He says he’s too old for me and could never be the man I deserve.

He’s wrong.

Dex and I might be 12 years apart, but the fire between us is the kind that will never burn out.

How can I convince him to give happily-ever-after with me a chance?

This is a great book. It's the first in the Cloverleigh Farms next generation. It follows Dex and Winnie. They are next door neighbours. Dex is a single dad to Hallie and Luna. Melanie writes kids so well. This is a fun, spicy and emotional read. Highly recommend.

This one bought out all the feels! I laughed, I sighed at stubborn men, and cried at the sad parts and felt for Winnie cause I fall too easily as well.

I giggled at the girls antics and really wanted to hate ex Mrs Dex but she even won me over.

I loved the narrators and how they did the voices for the different characters.

Also, I thought it was totally cruel to make Winnie do ‘the thing’ 😳😬🤣 cause again, I can totally relate and would get booed.

I loved it 🥰

I liked that the MMC was mature with kids, they were cute and funny additions to the story.
Would recommend.

Lovely story… such a great move by the author to do a spin off from the Cloverleigh farm series. Loved how their were references to Franie and Mac’s story.I couldn’t stop listening. Great book highly recommend.

Loved the story.. Only thing I'd change is the male talks very quietly spasmodicly so I was always up and down with the volume button

Great story with the ups and downs. The kids are great - especially the opening scene and his grumpy reaction. Narrators are very talented and did an excellent job bringing this book to life.
