Oh bravo! Hazel and Beck are everything I could want from a couple. Everyone in Hazel’s life thinks she’s this confident big personality but she’s calculated and trying her best to hide the things she thinks no one would like about her. She knows what “nice guys” are like and when her neighbor Beck keeps doing all these nice, kind things for her she’s got her guards up. Beck is the most delightful cinnamon roll who is also a giant teddy bear. People underestimate him and think he’s old fashioned. When Beck finds himself the target of a work colleague he tells a lie that he has a wife and doesn’t know how to get out of it. When Hazel meets this work colleague she quickly finds herself identifying as Beck’s wife and shenanigans ensue on a writer’s retreat. 
This book has a plus banter, steamy scenes that will make you reach for a glass of water, and a couple who sees each other exactly as they are and accepts each other. I loved this book so much and found myself laughing out loud at times. Charlotte Stein has done it again. She’s quickly becoming an auto-buy author for me.
