I never thought I’d find myself craving the small-town life, but I’ve grown to hate LA and all that comes with it. When I get canceled after a celebrity interview goes terribly wrong, I put my life in the City of Angels on hold and hide out in Parkerville, Maine. My sister has made the small town her home, and my assistant lives there, too. So it seems like the most logical place to go. Until my assistant suggests I move in with her dad. Her very hot, rugged dad. Who may or may not hate me after I tried to hook my sister up with him. Because rather than falling for him, she fell for his son. Oops. It was an honest mistake. I fully expect Derrick to tell me to find somewhere else to hunker down, but by some miracle, he agrees to let me stay in his spare bedroom, as long as I help out. Easy enough, right?

This was a cute and hilarious age gap, small town, single dad.
For an influencer, getting canceled is one of the worst things that can happen, and Izzy knows all too well what that's like. Looking to get away, she decides to visit her sister, who just re-started her life with a guy much younger than her. Not wanting to impose in their bliss, the solution to not pop their bubble comes in the form of her sister's father-in-law.
Derrick has gotten used to being alone. Having Izzy invade his space shouldn't make him so happy. Both are great at keeping their feelings for each other a secret, so it's great for the reader to see them develop a strong friendship, while also feeling the slowest of delicious burns. But my gosh, once they give in, THEY GIVE IN!
I loved how mature their relationship was. There's so much communication and trust between them. Izzy was an absolute joy! She had me giggling with her antics. Poor Derrick had to just go along for the ride.
