Spoilers Ahead: 

Juliet and Monroe are on a podcast together. Monroe is her brother’s (Sawyer’s) best friend, and they spent a week of passion together ages ago, but they never talk about it. Juliet is trying to date but never finds the right guy, and Monroe is out of a divorce, and thinks he shouldn’t be in a relationship with anyone. All is fine, until they’re gifted a house from one of the viewers that they set up with in the beginning, who’s now getting married. They decide they want to sell up the house, and decide to take a vacation together to fix it up and sell it, with the intention that the extra money will be used to spruce up and market their podcast. 

They get there, and it’s obvious that they both start falling for each other. Monroe offers to be Juliet’s dating coach, to try and help her work out her troubles with picking the worst choice men when online dating. They quickly bounce over the blurred line between dating and something more. But when Monroe isn’t ready to commit, after everything that happened with Juliet (when he looked after her when she was sick, when he pretended to be her dates to help her find someone who’s ‘worthy’ of her), she has to move on. Part of her has been saving herself for him, all this time, and she decides to throw a break-up party to try and help her move on from him. However, before she can, he quickly wins her back, after he reconciles with his dad that hasn’t been present or uplifting since Monroe’s mum died. 

I thought it was quite a sweet story, but nothing special. I’m not a big fan of the romances which start solely off of lust, just because I prefer a slow burn of building a beautiful connection, so some of it wasn’t my cup of tea. I tell you, I’ve never listened to sex scene on audiobook before, and I wasn’t expecting. The language was very vulgar, but at least the sex, for me, felt quite connected. For me, I can see that Monroe loves her by his actions, but Juliet just wants to rip his clothes off - just my opinion. 

So yeah, my opinion is just that it’s a meh book, with good sex scenes. I do like the idea of the podcast and the house-gifting though, that is something that I wasn’t expecting at all.
