Wren Daniels is in over her head. Between organizing a charity auction and trying to renovate a cabin she can’t afford, she’s barely keeping her head above water. The only bright spot is her new friend she met on an anonymous dating app four months ago. That is, until she discovers he’s the last person she would have expected—her grumpy neighbor who she’s never gotten along with. Holden Blankenship likes his life just the way it is. After his wife left him, he spent years putting his life back together. Now he’s got his daughter who is the light of his world, his family, and surprisingly, an anonymous friend. But when his anonymous friend turns out to be his neighbor who drives him crazy, he’s not sure what to make of it. Especially when her contractor backs out of her cabin renovation project and he finds himself offering to help her. Now Wren is getting under his skin in a completely different way and turning all his carefully laid plans upside down.

Cat Thompson — 3.5/5

I love a good grumpy next door neighbor and in this book he has a beard AND man bun? Heck yes. Holden, who had a precious young daughter, is Wren’s next door neighbor. Wren is always trying to get on Holden’s last nerve just for fun, but fate brings them together in a most unexpected way. The mountainous background coupled with a small town that rallies behind this couple was super adorable. A very fun read!
