About this audiobook
Bennett Cole had lived next door to Mitchell "Mac" Campbell, III for eighteen years of his life, in the small town of White Acre. They'd never gotten along, never seen eye to eye, and never understood one another . . . not that they'd ever cared to try.
But when Bennett's so-called buddies ditched him at a party in the woods where he was assaulted and left for dead, Bennett pulled through. The emotional scars rendered him too terrified to go back to school and face his "friends" or his attackers. With little choice, his family packed up and left town.
Ten years later-at the request of his mother-Bennett returned to the place he'd grown up and the home he'd once felt safe, to oversee the repairs before his childhood house was sold. The contractor? None other than Mac, the once annoying boy next door, who still lives there in the home his parents gifted him.
Being in such close proximity-working together every day, to repair the Coles' family home-Bennett and Mac's contentious relationship goes from bad to worse as their personalities continue to clash. But their heated exchanges may not be as antagonistic as they seem. And when new information is revealed, can the men begin to see each other in a different light?
Contains mature themes.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I listened to the audio book and the first 2 1/2 hours or so I really enjoyed but after that point most of the conflict was already resolved and I became bored for most of the rest of the audio book. I don't mind a story being mostly fluffy romance but it's just not what I was expecting from this book given the summary so that left me disappointed. There was also definitely a lot of instant attraction in this book. The author tries to get around this by having the characters have been childhood neighbors but because we didn't really get to read much of this background, when there was attraction as soon as the characters reunited it seemed very insta-love. As I've read more romance I've figured out more what I like out of them and this just didn't hit the mark for me.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This was kind of boring, really no suspense or conflict at all. The effort that is made feels artificial. Good read to fall asleep to.
