Welcome back to Aspen Cove, where everything is safe, including your secrets…

After being booted from her hit renovation show, Reno or Wreck It, for a mistake that wasn’t hers, Jewel Monroe moves to Aspen Cove to lick her wounds. No one seems to know who she is, and that’s a secret she wants to keep. When that old familiar need to renovate burns inside her, she buys a rundown house, but is the deal too sweet to be true? She can have it at cost if she helps sexy real estate agent Mason Van der Veen turn the property from pitiful to profitable in two months.

Mason Van der Veen is in trouble. He scooped up several properties in Aspen Cove, hoping to turn the town into the next Colorado vacation mecca. But when that plan fails, he’s told by his father that if he can’t renovate two properties in Aspen Cove for a profit in sixty days, he’ll lose his job and his thirty-five-million-dollar trust fund. Jewel is his secret weapon and has the notoriety to bring him the attention he needs, but she can’t help him if she stays a secret. Mason must choose between her wishes and his needs.

Can they work together and build a relationship out of the remnants of a rundown house, or will greed get in the way of a custom-built love made to last?

Favorite Quotes:

Marrying Matt was like saying I do to a friend. I’d always heard you should marry your best friend. I just didn’t think he’d start sleeping with mine.

“Oh, to be a fly on the locker room wall of the high school gym.” “Smells like sweat and bad attitudes. I swear testosterone smells like a skunk.”

Matt did as he was told. He seemed like a guy who’d had his manhood cut off, and by the looks of it, Sylvia was wearing it.

“Get the sutures and bandages ready. Blood is about to spill.” “Not right now. I’m busy. It’s time for Days of our Lives, and Lovey will murder me if I miss it. You’ll have to schedule your murderous rage another time.”

She’s the one who looks like a librarian with a secret room for naughty boys.

My Review:

Reading this series is like dropping in on a fun and familiar friend, I adore this crafty author and always revel in my time at Aspen Cove. Each engaging installment can stand alone yet provides updates on the odd little community’s beloved and endearing characters featured in previous volumes. The main characters of this chronicle were newcomers to the tiny frozen hamlet and while thinking they were flying under the radar, both were well known and being held under the ever-watchful and speculative eye of the small-town’s residents. The emotional tone was perfectly balanced between angsty inner musings, family drama, snarky humor, amusing observations, and a blossoming attraction. I always start looking forward to a return trip the minute I finish one of these tasty treats.
