Paige Sullivan's life is a train wreck. In a matter of months she lost her business, her swanky apartment, and her big city life. Now she's stuck in Nowhere, New Hampshire, sleeping on her mom's couch. If that wasn't bad enough, she's forced to do odd jobs for money. She has a plan though, and once she's saved enough, she's out of there. That is, as long as she doesn't murder her sexy new employer first.
Asher Thompson is the ruggedly handsome hermit of the Thompson clan. Tall, ridiculously sexy despite his beard, and annoyingly aloof, his main concern is his privacy. He fills his days with his work as a carpenter and the peaceful solitude of his lake house. A peaceful solitude that vanished the moment Paige Sullivan stormed into his life, hell-bent on driving him crazy.
The problem is, opposites attract and each time they cross paths she works her way further under his skin.
I enjoyed the first book in the series (Fix Her Up), but this book had me laughing throughout most of it. I suppose it could be read as a standalone, but it's probably best to read the books in order to understand who some of the secondary characters are. I found it incredibly easy to crush on Asher; I mean who wouldn't love a man who's so skilled with wood.......
I gotta admit though, I wasn't a fan of Paige at the start; I get that her life took a really huge unexpected detour, but her attitude left a LOT to be desired. There's a difference between being private and being standoffish to the point of rude and to me, Paige even crossed that line. The way she felt about Asher at the start because of her mother's friendship with him struck me as juvenile; she's jealous of what her mom does and treats Asher, but even Paige admits that she and her mom have a somewhat strained relationship. Add to the resentment she feels having to take care of her mom for a few weeks made it hard for me to connect with her as a character. But as the story progresses, Paige's attitude shifts for the better and that made the interactions between her and Asher that much more fun to read.
I like that we still get to see the Thompson clan, maybe not as much as in the first book, but I still enjoyed this story and can't wait to read the future books as they're released.

I’m back in the parking lot of the Moose tonight, parked right next to Millie’s Explorer.
“Are you trying to drug me?” I had asked.
She shrugs her slender shoulders. “Consider it a truce.”
I’ve finished all of the fries and am still working on my drink when she returns an hour or so later. “Shouldn't you be playing with your wood?”
I choke on my water.
“This your idea of a truce?” I ask, once I’m done coughing.
“Humor me,” she says, leaning against my door. “You hired my mom so you wouldn't have to leave your land. Now you're leaving it every day to stalk me. What gives?”
My head jerks back. “I am not stalking you.”
She presses her lips together before a bubble of laughter escapes. “What would you call it?”
I frown partly at her question and more so at the way she's acting. “Why are you being nice to me?”
