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 twelve 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?
Audio coming soon!
My Review
The first in this second generation starts with Winnie (daughter to Mac and Frannie) and ties in characters from both Frenched and Forked with Winnie's job and BFF Ellie.
Dex is the single dad that moves in next door to Winnie, and is friends with pitching star Chip (son of April and Tyler). Dex has just come off of a bad divorce and is in no way looking to remarry or connect again beyond some simple fun.
These two connect, and continue to develop a relationship while pretending to "just be having fun" - and of course, not develop feelings. Dex's girls really steal the show and are hilarious at manipulating their time together.
You also get a glimpse at an upcoming story with Ellie and the next generation of the Forked/Lupo chefs!
