Blythe
​
I have a cozy little house in a cozy little neighborhood. I have a best friend, and a precious little pup. But five years ago Cancer took something from me. Sure, I kicked its ass, but it got its pound of flesh. And now I need to dig deep and find the person that I am now. I’m tired of doing everything alone. For the first time in my cozy little life I’m asking for a little help. Not for love, but for help.
​
Nyx
​
I have a new house in a cozy neighborhood with a neighbor who is quiet and reserved on the outside, but I see something brimming just under the surface. Something that is also in me. I’ve offered my help, and I’m going to give it to her in the most unexpected way. I will find the chink in her armor to break her out of her shell and into her full existence. It’s my job to help, not to love.
When Nyx moves in next door. Blythe’s cozy little world gets thrown upside down and three ways from Tuesday. Blythe plays the violin in the symphony and wants more stamina and flexibility in her body. Nyx, is a personal trainer and new co-owner of the local lesbian bar. When Nyx offers to help Blythe with her goals, how can she turn them down? Neighborship turns to friendships, but when a category three hurricane traps them in Blythe’s storm cellar, the wind outside isn’t the only thing whipping around.
​
If your new hot neighbor offered to help you out of your comfy little box would you step out or stay stuck?

From the moment I started reading this book, I fell in love with Abi, the main character. She's so relatable in many ways, and her passion for baking resonated with me since it's also my way to relax! The storyline reminded me of "Spoiler Alert," but in my opinion, it was even better. Finally, a book with a plus-size MC in a smutty romance where the guy doesn't constantly talk about her body size! Abi and Liam's relationship was incredibly sweet, and I'm crossing my fingers that the second book will be about Tess.

The besties were amazing. Couldn't stop laughing. While life may knock us down you just have to find the strength to get back up again.
Praise & Reviews
Sometimes when you’ve been reading large series, you just need to open a book you can read in a few hours and smile at. This is one of those books. A nice palate cleanser if you will. Good in its own and a nice refresh without the commitment of a full course.
Ruby Dare seems to have it down to an art form. The story had good world building and characterizations without causing the book to be too long and taxing.
The story itself was very cute and gave off hallmark movie vibes for sure! Filled with love, secrets, true friendships, and animals? Amazing!
​
i cannot rave about this book enough! It has everything i love in a cute spicy rom-com. This read was so cozy and heartwarming, I can’t wait to read more from this author!!
​
I loved how the book spoke about aftercare and boundaries regarding kink. It makes a great change to see books do this.
