And this was like an enemies-to-friends-to-lovers with forced proximity and teaching and ahhh just so much swoon. The steamier parts were also very well done. Plus, Andi does a true crime podcast and writes horror novels!!!! And Andi’s backstory the perfect addition of some mystery. That being said, the character arcs in this novel were superb. PLEASE read the content warnings before going into this book. It’s a romance that deals with two characters with a TON of baggage. If It isn’t Hill and Andie’s relationship that you’re invested in in that moment, it’s Andie’s past and finding out why she has her anxiety or it’s with Hill and learning how he’s adjusting to the world. I devoured this book within a day because you don’t want to put it down. It has character depth, it has a fascinating plot, the histories of the characters(!), the emotional scope, and so much more. While it may not look like a typical romance novel–it is.

Soon, a tentative bond forms between the unlikely pair. But when someone breaks into Andi’s place, Hill can’t stop himself from rushing in to play the hero. He needs to figure out what he’s supposed to do with his life, and he can’t let himself get distracted by the pretty redhead next door. After losing part of his leg in a rescue gone wrong, he’s now stuck in limbo. If only her grumpy new neighbor would stop stomping around at all hours of the night.įormer firefighter Hill Dawson can’t sleep. But things are better now―she’s channeling everything into her career as a horror novelist and true crime podcaster, and her next book may be the breakthrough she needs. It doesn’t help that she narrowly escaped a dangerous man years ago, or that every relationship since has been colored with that lingering fear. At least, that’s what Andi Lockley’s anxiety wants her to believe.
