All is fair in love and real estate, right?
Single mum Shasa Daniels is heartbroken to lose her beloved, cheap rental. Even worse, it's being sold to Mac McCarthy, a devilishly handsome developer. To fight back, Shasa gathers her friends to outbid him and build community housing instead.
Mac is financial trouble, but he has a plan – a clever property deal that can secure his future. As long as he can keep his eyes on the prize and ignore the cute and feisty tenant messing with his business.
Looks can be deceiving. As Shasa snoops on Mac, she discovers a mutual love of acting and sizzling stage chemistry. The more she learns about the real Mac, the more she's torn between her building plans and the man she's falling for. Is it better to win in love or in real estate?
Nest or Invest is a spicy, slow burn romantic comedy set against New Zealand's volatile housing market, during Hamilton's hot air balloon festival.

Customer Reviews
Nest or Invest
The set-up is refreshing and modern : no old high school flames nor billionary bosses. A husband who prefers Greenpeace to his family was a nice modern touch. I was little apprehensive about the “opposites attract” theme but it was well-managed, not given undue heavy emphasis.
The main characters were believable and the secondary ones - Shasa friends and Mac’s family and friends - were well-developed, not just simple props to the main story.
The scenes with “more heat” or “smutty bits” were few and not that daring so even the more prudent readers should not be shocked.
I felt that the theatre project did not quite fit in, maybe because it was left “hanging” there in the sidelines, after being an important activity in the plot.
All in all, nice easy reading, many times chuckling at some clever remarks and descriptions.
