Tessa Bailey
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Happened One Summer and Hook, Line, and Sinker brings the heat in this rom-com about two enemies who team up to flip a house because their chemistry will either burn the place down or ignite a passion that neither can ignore...Hair, makeup, clothing, decor... everything in Bethany Castle's world is organized, planned, and styled to perfection. Which is why the homes she designs for her family's real estate business are the most coveted in town. The only thing not perfect? Her track record with men. She's on a dating hiatus and after helping her friends achieve their dreams, Bethany finally has time to focus on her own: flip a house, from framework to furnishings, all by herself. Except her older brother runs the company and refuses to take her seriously.When a television producer gets wind of the Castle sibling rivalry, they’re invited on Flip Off, a competition to see who can do the best renovation. Bethany wants bragging rights, but she needs a crew and the only member of her brother's construction team willing to jump ship is Wes Daniels, the new guy in town. His Texas drawl and handsome face got under Bethany's skin on day one, and the last thing she needs is some cocky young cowboy in her way.As the race to renovate heats up, Wes and Bethany are forced into close quarters, trading barbs and biting banter as they remodel the ugliest house on the block. It's a labor of love, hate, and everything in between, and soon sparks are flying. But Bethany's perfectly structured life is one kiss away from going up in smoke and she knows falling for a guy like Wes would be a flipping disaster.“Her voice feels as fresh and contemporary as a Netflix rom-com.” —Entertainment Weekly

"I really love this book; it’s probably my favorite of the series. For starters, there are numerous tropes, varying from slightly enemies to lovers, kind of like a reverse age gap, found family, etc. Even the message of the harm of trying to be perfect and “keep up appearances” is so relevant. Also, I just fell in love with Wes’s patience (and especially the Texan charm) and Bethany’s relatability. Their relationship seems realistic and they just fit together and I mean the chemistry and spice, wow. Not to mention, the glimpses of the characters from the past two books of the series were so fun and especially satisfying towards the end. This book is a great conclusion to a great series by a great author. "

"I had a hard time with the couples connection and their age difference. The age difference thing is probably more on Me. I just can’t ever seeing dating a 23 year old guy when I was 30. Since he started off just giving off creepy vibes I didn’t ever make the connection."
