Add to Goodreads

Flint Hopkins finds the perfect tenant to rent the space above his Minneapolis-based law office.

All the t’s are crossed and i’s dotted on Ellen’s application. Her references are good. And she’s easy on the eyes.

Until …

Flint discovers Ellen Rodgers, Board-Certified Music Therapist, plays music. Bongos, guitars, singing—not Beethoven administered through noise-cancelling headphones.

The cut-throat attorney serves up an eviction notice to the bubbly, constantly humming redhead who’s too sexy for her own good. But luck is on Ellen’s side when Flint’s autistic son, Harrison, takes an instant liking to her. A single dad can’t compete with guitars—and rats. Yes, she has pet rats.

This woman …

She’s annoyingly happy with a constant need to touch him—adjust his tie, button his shirt, invade his space, and mess with his mind.

Still …

She must go.

Their lust-hate relationship escalates into something beautiful and tragic. This sexy, romantic-comedy explores the things we want, the things we need, and the impossible decisions parents and children make to survive.

My Review:

Review also posted on Goodreads

I originally buddy read this with Inah @ Fueled by Chapters but I got distracted and put this on the back seat. It was my second attempt on reading this and I made the best decision to switch in audiobook. I feel like I’ve been reading this for forever because so many events happened here and there.

Flint Hopkins has a beautiful family until tragedy hits leaving him a widower and a single father to his twelve year old son, Harrison. It was hard for him dealing with grief and recovering from alcoholism. He still blames himself for his beloved wife’s death.

When a music therapist occupied one of his office space, his life drastically changed. Ellen Rogers is a sassy, cheerful and gorgeous woman. She’s divorced from her first husband and she is the opposite to his grump. No matter how he fights his attraction to her, it’s undeniable and she bonded well with Harry. His son has autism and he’s talented on music.

Not gonna lie, the book is long than I expected. There’s a lot of sexual tension between Flint and Ellen but I feel like they dragged on. Sometimes I’m infuriated with the miscommunication and they have a lot of personal issues. It wasn’t my favorite but this is a good grumpy / sunshine and single parent romance.
