About this listen

Some things can be fixed with a little duct tape...but a broken heart ain't one of 'em.

Avery Blake has spent years getting by all on her own in a big house on the countryside. As a contractor, there's not much room for emotion in her male-dominated profession, and she's perfectly content to keep people out of her private life, too.

After watching her elderly neighbor, Nora, be torn away from her longtime lover by heartless relatives, Avery has seen what it's like to love and to lose, and she'd rather skip the whole thing and focus on work (and the occasional meaningless fling) instead.

Some relationships can be fixed with a little breathing room...and some are too far gone.

Hannah Grayson has nothing but room to breathe when she finds out her great-aunt Nora has passed and left her a house in rural Indiana. Fleeing a dysfunctional and controlling relationship in New York, she moves into the house because she's got nowhere else to go.

Disasters start piling up almost as soon as the plane touches down - the house is in disrepair, Nora's grandchildren are trying to evict her, and the gorgeous but chilly woman across the street seems to have a problem with Hannah's presence.

When a pipe bursts on her first night in the house, Hannah has no choice but to run across the street and beg for help from Avery. The rest, as they say, is history....

Contains mature themes.

Really great story line of a woman with virtually nothing money wise left, gradually fixing up her inheritance, really great characters all the way through and brilliant narration with a happy ending as well thanks

There were a few things to take away from this novel including how much progress has been made for the LGBTQ+ community and how unkind and undermining words can have terrible effects on people.

I found this book enjoyable and it set a good pace throughout

I enjoyed it despite the majority of the story being just angst and drama.
One of the fmc is a huge dougebag, and often treats the other fmc in a major a*#hole kind of way. And, fmc 2 is a colossal doormat, lacking a backbone, and just left an abusive relationship.
Still, the spice was really good and I was curious to see where it went. I liked how it ended despite some issues with Hannah 's forgiveness being too easily given.
I really liked the narration.
It's both included on KU and audible plus catalogue.

Good sapphic drama/romance
