New York Times bestselling author Emma Chase is back with this red-hot romantic comedy about two rival real estate developers who inherit the same lucrative property. There’s just one catch: they have to live in it…together.

Block 42 Lot 17 is the most coveted oceanfront property in Shore Haven, and both Damon Burke and Jade Buchanan are certain it’s already theirs.

The elderly owner, Clarabelle Spicket, promised it to Damon. She also promised it to Jade. Awkward…

Now thanks to a provision in the will, the town’s coldest real estate shark and its fiercest power player are forced to spend the next four months living there together or else they forfeit the property.

Even worse, the dilapidated beachfront mansion seems determined to shove them into the same room—and the same bed. As wills clash, tempers flare and walls crumble…so do their defenses.

It’s a bad idea to get too close to your enemy. To care about them, need them, desperately want them.

But when rivalry turns into something far more than either of them ever expected, Damon and Jade discover that love can be a very good bad idea.

This was a fun light-hearted story with lively characters and a few emotional moments.

The pacing was good for the most part, although towards the end of their stay in the house I was starting to get bored. But I tend to prefer romances with a solid subplot so that was bound to happen.

I liked seeing the battle between their growing feelings and their desire to get the house. It felt very natural and believable.

I really enjoyed the duet narration. The narrators voices really suited their characters. I really enjoyed the extra sound effects that Sean Masters made. Like the creepy sound they heard in the middle of the night.

Great narration, very entertaining

Good beach read, plot starts interesting enough but very predictable. Story could have been more interesting with better in depth dialogue. A modern Mills & Boom, fun enough but not pushing your intelect.

Interesting predictable plot, light romance
