My new neighbor is a firefighter--and a scorching hot single dad--but I swear I didn’t set off that smoke alarm on purpose.

(And I was beyond mortified when he rushed in and saw me naked.)

Nothing happened, of course--because I, Winnie MacAllister, romance junkie and owner of a constantly broken heart, have sworn off men for one solid year.

Even protective men with chiseled jaws, bulging biceps, and deep brown eyes that make my breath come faster. Even former SEALs with broad chests and strong hands that make my skin sizzle. Even gorgeous, grumpy guys who have their hands full raising two adorable little girls and claim they don’t believe in love.

Until Dex kisses me one night, and I drop all my defenses.

(Also my underwear.)

He says he’s not gentle, and he’s right. He says I should take the dream job I’m offered in another state, and he’s right. He says he’s too old for me and could never be the man I deserve.

He’s wrong.

Dex and I might be twelve years apart, but the fire between us is the kind that will never burn out.

How can I convince him to give happily-ever-after with me a chance?

4.5 stars for Ignite!

I was so excited to go back to Cloverleigh Farms and Ignite didn’t disappoint. We meet the grumpy firefighter, Dex Matthews. He’s 34 and an ex SEAL and also a single dad of two girls…. Cue the swoon, right?

Winnie is 22 years old and has always been addicted to love. She loves the idea of it and falls in love super fast. She just had a failed engagement so she’s sworn off men and falling in love for the foreseeable future thanks to a bet with her friend.

Dex and Winnie meet when Dex moves next-door to Winnie and their attraction is instant. Although they both fight it at the start, it’s undeniable and before they know it, they can’t resist each other anymore.

This is definitely in the grumpy/sunshine category which is one of my all time fave tropes. If you’ve read the rest of the Cloverleigh books then you’ll be able to see the parallels of Ignite and book number one, Irresistible, which is the book about Winnie’s parents…. I loved this so much and I loved the way the book mentioned them with humour surrounding it.

This was a super cute read with the spice thrown in. I really liked the way Winnie and Dex came together and Dex’s girls are hilarious and Dex is such a great dad. This book is pretty love angst, which I loved. I just needed a cute small town romance book and this hit the spot.

Winnie and Dex’s chemistry was great and I loved reading their story and seeing how they found a place in each others world.

If you’re looking for a cute grumpy/sunshine romance, then this one is for you!

4.5 stars!!!
Grump/Sunshine age gap neighbour’s romance?! Yes please. Add in hot single dad firefighter, and I just found my newest book boyfriend.

This was my first book by Melanie and I didn’t realise it was apart of a series, which are all standalones, but now I need to read them all because I am in love! This book checked off so many of my boxes of what I love and was just beautiful written and held my attention!

Winnie loves love basically, and she also likes to ogle the new hot neighbour guy moving in next door! She just full of sunshine and happy and kind and thoughtful, I loved her!

Dex puts the G in grump haha. He’s stubborn, but also is wrapped around his little girls fingers. He doesn’t believe in happily ever afters and has lots of baggage. But oh so loveable, and *cough* really good dirty talker.

These two have an undeniable attraction for each other and they are 🔥🔥🥵😮‍💨. I loved them together. They were so much fun! And then bring in Dex’s little girls, they cracked me up!

Also it also sets up for the next book perfectly and has me dying for it!!

Dex & Winnie

Reviewed in Australia on 24 November 2021

It was great to step back into the Cloverleigh Fields world once again. But I particularly loved that this book is a next generation story.
There are quite a few similarities between Winnie & Dex’s story to Winnie’s parents but they are different enough in some major ways that it definitely isn’t the case of a rinse and repeat. I actually found that when comparisons were made it was done tongue in cheek which added a bit more humor to this romcom.
There are plenty of laugh out loud moments that usually came from Dex’s two daughters but it was the romance between Dex and Winnie that was the absolute standout for me. Looking forward to reading more books in this world.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book.

My kind of fairytale

I just fell head over heels in love from the start! An easy 5 stars for sure!

The leads in this book are Dex, Winnie and can’t forget Dex’s two adorably funny daughters.

Dex is a 34 year old, single dad, ex-navy seal and current firefighting badAss! He is all the things you would expect.. Ruggedly handsome, rough and tough. When it comes to his daughters he loves them with all he has, he may swear like a sailor on leave and be a bit of a grump but I give him a 10!

Winnie is a 22 year old, hopeless romantic who gives her heart to easy because she believes in ‘happy ever afters’, however she has sworn off men at least lung enough to win a bet with her best friend.

Throw them both right next door to one another with only a wall separating and let the burning hot fun begin! These two have amazing chemistry but since a relationship isn't something either is looking for they must found another way to make it work.

I couldn’t get enough of this book, i could probably read it again straight away. It was emotional, cute, so funny and of course HOT. As simple as it is one of my favourite parts it Dex totally being bullied by his daughters, it’s 100% relatable. The whole book is written so beautifully and prefect.
Don’t get me wrong there was times I wanted to strangle a certain ex-navy seal but I still loved him!

Can these two over come everything and get their happy ever after, that of course Dex doesn’t believe in.
I highly recommend you read and find out ❤️‍🔥

Real good feel good, emotional & damn funny too

This is by no means a comedy but by god it’s full of hilarious scenes thanks to an 8 & 5 year old! Hot, hairy and grumpy, Dex has a hard time keeping his feels in check. Whether it’s trying to avoid an obviously hearts and passion fuelled set of feels for Winnie (legit GIRL next door) or, contain festering anger towards his father - the boy has a lot of feels going on. Good job he’s a firefighter because if they burn down the house making sexy time, he can at least save her, or is it burn out and sacrifice her?! Stubborn, sexy, hard-headed, sexy, grumpy oh and sexy and for a change he’s not an outrageous billionaire type, he’s the guy you could fall for that can also be found just about anywhere. Winnie is the girl a parent dreams of but somewhat romanticises future real life and has paid the price for it. Once the grumpy ogre moves in next door, she feels empowered enough to make a friends with benefits deal but has clearly forgotten, the house always wins! The punishment for them both missing the glaringly obvious is pain and heartache but at least his girls give off all the comedic joy that you need to know where this is headed and enjoy the ride even still. Fantastically brilliant read if you want sexy time, emotional heartache and general feel good reading time. Can’t wait to read Ellie’s story!

Hot, single dad, age gap romance

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 December 2021

I’m not a great fan of next generation books, but loved the Cloverleigh Farm series so wanted to give this a go. Winnie’s new neighbor is hot! He’s also a lot older, grumpy and a single dad. Winnie is on a break from men because she has a bad habit of falling in love with them. Dex’s girls take an immediate liking to Winnie and the more time Dex & Winnie spend together the stronger their attraction grows. They decide they could be good for each other short term, he doesn’t do relationships and she doesn’t want serious, so they decide to have some fun. Needless to save feelings become involved and things get complicated. Dex is a bit of a muppet and it takes a lot to get him to realise what is really important. I liked that Winnie stood up for herself. I enjoyed this story and will probably go on to read the other books in the series when they come out, I’ll just need to try and forget reading about them as children when I do.

I loved everything about this book and couldn’t put it down, I devoured it in one sitting and stayed up way too late to finish!

Dex is my favourite kind of hero, grumpy and not willing to admit he has feelings to anyone.

Winnie was a breath of fresh air, real sunshine heroine who is a lover of love.

I loved their relationship development, the way they said the don’t love each other at the end of every night together had me swooning. The fact Dex is this big ex Navy SEAL turned current Firefighter who sews and brushes his woman’s hair? I fell hard.

Absolutely loved Luna and Hallie so much, especially how involved they were in the story. They had me laughing a lot at the bedside commentary to their Dad.

This was my first read by Melanie Harlow and won’t be my last, I’m looking forward to Ellie’s book next!

If you have read Cloverleigh Farms by Melanie Harlow then you will know the MacAllister family already.Well the girls are all grown up now.
22-year-old Winnie lives alone with her cat,Piglet when the hot,grumpy Dex moves in next to her with his 2 adorable daughters.
The story is similar to Frannie and Mac’s love story as Winnie’s sisters point it out too.But it doesn’t change anything.
The story is adorable,sexy and romantic.
You will probably wish you could just slap Dex sometimes for his attitude and comments but once you realise why he is acting like that way, you will feel for him and definitely fall in love with him ☺️
Even though he has excuses not to fall in love with Winnie as he thinks she is too young for him, soon he realises that he can’t and doesn’t want a life without her.
The book can be read as a stand alone, but I suggest you read the whole series so you can feel a bit of nostalgia.
I absolutely loved that most of the previous characters appeared ☺️
Well done Melanie 💞
