Shay
Jackson Stone is hot—like burn-down-buildings kind of hot. He’s also my brother’s best friend, and the memory of one kiss with him years ago still might get to me. Maybe. I am not looking for a second chance.
When I return to the small town of Stolen Hearts Valley, my life is a hot mess. I’m a few bucks shy of broke with nowhere else to go. My heart’s battered and bruised, and when it comes to romance, the door is nailed shut.
But Jackson’s the kind of man women ruin panties over. Oh, and he's my roommate. Talk about too close for comfort.
When I’m at my most vulnerable, he pulls that whole knight-in-shining-armor thing. What can I say? He’s near impossible to resist.
Jackson
Shay Martin is my best friend’s little sister. And she’s so hot she nearly sets me on fire.
She’s a walking complication, and I don’t do complications. But I can’t seem to stay away from her. It doesn't help that her bedroom is across the hall from mine.
Every look, every kiss, every touch nearly brings me to my knees. I can’t keep my balance, much less think. Before I know it, I’ll do anything for her.
Shay & Jackson’s story is perfect for readers who love small town romance, firefighters, broody alpha heroes, smart, sassy heroines, friends to lovers, opposites attract, slow burn, emotional romance with a dash of angst, plenty of swoon, and a deeply protective grumpy hero.
*A full-length standalone romance.

Long winded but worth it
Good read, no real steams sex scenes but intimate one, cute story but long winded I power read though some of the more meaningless parts to the good parts
Great read
Wonderful
Character development. Healing from trauma with love.
Did Not Finish
Got to chapter four before I called it quits. The general plot isn’t bad, girl down on her luck running from what is insinuated as an abusive ex back to her hometown and best friend & best friend’s big brother and naturally sparks fly.
But here was my issue, run-on sentences and poor sentence structure. Poor word choices and phrasing, his dad “never bounced back” after his wife unexpectedly died from cancer diagnosed too late. Who “bounces back”?
Then the insinuated abusive past relationship. Again I didn’t finish the book so I don’t know what it really was but there were comments “living in fear” “a place to feel safe” a dent in a car door made by a fist, etc. I would’ve expected her to be somewhat skittish around a man she may have grown up with but hasn’t seen in many years, but instead within an hour of arriving she’s fighting the urge to jump his bones. Just doesn’t seem that some of the finer plot points were properly thought through.
