From best-selling author Xavier Neal comes a slow-burn romance that’s full of the unexpected…They say all the best things in life are free.I say all the best things in life are easy.That is until easy gets me put on house arrest where I’m stuck with an estranged aunt, a needy cat, and drinking lemonade instead of tequila.Easy suddenly becomes hard.I basically have to sweat to get paid.I finally … becomes hard.
I basically have to sweat to get paid.
I finally realize that great cheesecake doesn’t magically materialize.
And I have to deal with a law-appointed babysitter constantly showing up to c-block my chance of proving to the drop-dead gorgeous neighbor – who I want screaming my name every night – that I’m more than just the crime I committed.
All the best things in life may be easy, but I’m slowly learning that all the greatest require real work.
Real effort.
And most importantly, real sacrifice.

This book was really good and much of it seems so realistic. Theo gets in trouble and ends up on house arrest. Being under lock he keys he gets to know his beautiful neighbor Lane. I love that their relationship didn’t start immediately and that she had some reservations because of what he did. That just helped the story seem more real and their relationship seem stronger. This is a wonderful read that I definitely recommend!
Theo made a choice, unfortunately it was a choice that led to his incarceration and release to house arrest. One moment in time changed his life. Now he’s trying to piece it back together. His past is ever present with his estranged aunt and those that are working on his rehabilitation. But his turning point seems to come in the form of his beautiful neighbor, Lane. Something about her draws him in, makes him want more. This change motivates Theo to find his truths.
Slowly, Theo works through his past to find his future.
Absolutely Love the story of Theo and Lane. This story keeps you captivated throughout. Gives enough backstory so you know what makes the characters who they are and is very well written. This book is a definite 5 book. I look forward to reading more.Great job Xavier Neal you did it again.
It was an amazing read!!! The character will catch you in ways you can’t believe and it’s amazing to see how they were going to develop in this story.. Theo is a bad boy that is actually good just needs someone that is going to bring him back to living and Lane needed to be shown the right kinda of love.. The attraction between these characters is bound amazing and will keep you interested
With fun characters, unusual circumstances, and cameos from previous characters, Xavier Neal has brought it all with this one!
Lane and Theo’s evolution from friends to more is amazing. And there was never the typical event happening here. Every time I said, “Oh no. This is going to happen!” I was happily wrong!
Definitely add it to your TBR today!!
