This is one of the best romances I’ve read in a while. I wish I hadn't as the final chapter reveals the offspring these people will become siblings/cousins and its supposed to be funny- ugh do I hear banjo music playing? Getting hot for your living brother's ex-wife, the mother of your nephew (gag) or lusting after your brother-in-law's package is just too over the top for me (seriously - what kind of person does that?) Where is the romance, the imagination, the banter, the cleaver suspense, that I've loved in the past from this writing duo? I struggled to finish. Instead the story begins with her twerking naked in the B&B when her BROTHER-IN-LAW walks in and.

The background story is of a mother starting over by preserving her son's family inheritance and the resistance she encounters from her brother-in-law.

I HATED this story of justified lies and deceit centered around sibling betrayal. By the time I hit the epilog I wanted to throw up. Not so with this book, though, just the opposite. By the title might lead one to think it's an overdone plot but really it was unique, imaginative, funny and well developed. This writing team wrote one of my favorite books, 'The Christmas Pact'. We were in over our heads in more ways than one.īecause not only was he the last man on Earth I should be falling for because of our deal, but Levi was also my ex’s older brother.Īnd now the inn was the least of my problems. Not to mention, he was so great with my son. Levi and I got closer, and before I knew it, my nightly fantasies about the brawny Adonis became a reality. If I could sell out the place by the time he had to leave for training at the end of summer, he would back off and let me run it.īut in the weeks that followed, we got more than we bargained for while we were living under the same roof. I wanted to restore The Palm Inn to its original beauty and reopen it as a bed-and-breakfast. He wanted to unload the run-down place, which, admittedly, needed a lot of work. We bickered a lot as we both moved into the property while we figured things out. You could say we got off on the wrong foot. We won’t mention that I accidentally injured him during our first meeting, causing him to get eight stitches.

The other half now belonged to Levi Miller, the famous quarterback who had other ideas about what we should do with the property. When my young son inherited half of his great grandfather’s historic inn, I decided to move us both to the place where I grew up.
