Trouble in Loveland

What does dating the boss + meddling ex-wife + most adorable three-year-old ever equal? Trouble in Loveland.

At 17, Charlee Jensen packed her bags and left her beloved hometown of Loveland, swearing she would never have anything to do with the men that left her heartbroken: her father, the man who taught her heroes can fall; and Ryan Carter, her much older neighbor and teenage crush.

Now eight years later, Charlee has two degrees she never wanted and no job prospects, forcing her to swallow her pride and come home to work for her father's accounting firm - the same firm where newly divorced Ryan Carter is now a partner.

But trouble starts to stir when Ryan realizes the girl next door is all grown up and completely smitten with his adorable three-year-old. Ryan finds it hard to resist his beautiful, yet annoyingly charming neighbor and coworker, but is torn between his feelings and trying to keep the peace with his ex-wife, the mother of his child. It's a recipe for trouble. Will Charlee and Ryan find the formula for success?

So much fun!

We thoroughly enjoyed the performance of this novel. Who would have thought butterflies could be so interesting. Great story. Loved it was clean. Witty is just and added bonus.

doormat

CJ and Ryan do not belong together. their relationship is ridiculous. she is a total doormat. you can love someone and realize you are not a good fit. CJ keeps giving one more chance. Ryan never stands up for her or their relationship.

GND romance with a twist

I enjoyed this girl next door romance. It took me on a whole rollercoaster of emotions but finally gets to where I wanted it to go. I love how Ms. Peel puts so much reality in her stories they are always a good read. I had to immediately read the sequel to this one.

The narrator did and excellent job. Her performance was captivating and kept the story entertaining.

Well…

So, the story is decent. VERY clean. But if you know that ahead of time you can enjoy the rest for what it is.

I did cry a couple of times - there are all the feels in this one. I do agree with another reviewer that the FMC allows way more than she should of people (including the MMC) treating her poorly. The book could have been shorter (imo needed to be shorter) with less bad treatment of the FMC - it’s downright depressing.

I did enjoy the story overall and I actually liked the narrator (not whiny except for the FMC’s bestie, but that’s just her character).

The best

This is the best that I have heard in a while!! I absolutely LOVED it!
