Synopsis
From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new enemies-to-lovers story…
It all started with an unexpected phone call.
Two years after my fiancé passed away in an accident, his father died suddenly, leaving Brad’s adult, special-needs brother with no one to care for him.
The next thing I knew, I was on a cross-country drive to New Hampshire where I’d be moving in to look after Scottie until I could get him into a group home.
The last thing I ever expected?
I wouldn’t be taking care of him alone.
Josh Mathers, my fiance’s best friend—who also happened to be my sworn enemy—insisted he was the better person for the job. He told me to go back to California, and I told him where he could stick that demand.
Our disdain for each other wasn’t anything new. It dated back to a text I’d accidentally read years ago.
We hated each other. But we both loved Scottie, so neither of us budged.
Now we were living together in a tiny house—with one available bedroom. Thank goodness it was only temporary.
Over time, I realized the broody jerk I thought I knew was different than I’d imagined.
I found myself slowly growing attached to someone I once considered the enemy…and growing attracted to him.
Sure, both of us were guilt-ridden over Brad. We were also two grown people with pent-up frustration toward one another—stuck in a cabin in the woods.
But this was Josh.
I could never.
My Review
ღ 𝐈 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 ღ
Is a full length contemporary romance novel by author Penelope Ward. Spoken in 'dual perspectives.' Josh & Carly
Once I saw the cover, read the blurb I couldn't wait to get my hands on it, once it arrived on my kindle. Game over!! This was inhaled like my next breath depended on it I didn't want to put it down!!
Two years later Carly is still in the throes of despair after losing her fiance in a tragic accident, so the last thing she ever expected was a phone call asking her to help with Scottie's care, he's her deceased fiancé’s autistic brother after his father passed away recently. Uprooting herself and moving to New Hampshire she's hoping she can place him in a group home as soon as possible.
Then out of the blue another curve ball is thrown her way, because the very day she arives she opens up the door to Josh, he's her deceased fiance's best friend.
Bring on all the feels as they struggle to coexist whilst taking care of a nonverbal autistic adult and his many ipads which keep him occupied and settled.
This had all the moments, those up in the feels moments, emotional moments, manic giggling moments, hot moments and all the moments where I rooted for these two. Without even knowing it themselves they were perfect for each other.
