It is gratifying when you close the back cover of a book and cannot stop smiling. Maggie Moves On by Lucy Score left me with a huge grin. The way the story ended, with no loose ends, spoke to my happily ever after seeking heart. The epilogue was perfect!
YouTube sensation Maggie and her gay ex Dean are the perfect team for flipping houses. Both single, they fix, flip, and move on to the next project, forming no attachments. Nearing the one million viewers mark, Maggie takes on an enormous rundown house in Kinship, Idaho that has a storied and intriguing past. Perhaps an even more interesting future. Can Silas, the hot landscape guy, show Maggie that it is time for her to settle down and plant some roots? The delicious banter between Sly Sy and Maggie is swoon worthy. The intimate scenes were downright steamy. Such fun to read. I delighted in Silas’s family dynamic. The moms, dads, and all the siblings were perfect. I want them to be my family! If you love a delightful rom com with romance, a dog, some kittens, and mystery thrown in, this book is what you need. It was an enjoyable read. It is 5 out of 5 stars for me!
Goodreads Blurb:
House-flipping sensation and YouTube star Maggie Nichols can’t wait to dig into her next challenge. Arriving in tiny Kinship, Idaho, with only a cot and a coffeemaker, Maggie is prepared to restore a crumbling Victorian mansion in four months or less. She has her to-do lists, her blueprints, and her team. What she doesn’t have is time for sexy, laid-back landscaper Silas Wright.
The man takes flirtation to a whole new level. And he does it shirtless…sometimes pants-less. He and his service school-dropout dog are impressively persistent. But she’s not interested in putting down roots. Not when fans tune in to watch her travel the country turning dilapidated houses into dream homes. A short-term fling on the other hand could fit nicely into her calendar. After all, Maggie remembers what fun is like. Vaguely.
As their summer gets downright steamy, Silas manages to demolish the emotional walls she’s spent years building, sending Maggie into a panic. He’s the wrench in her carefully constructed plans. With the end of the project looming, she has a decision to make. But how can she stay when her entire career is built on moving on?
