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?

Hello Winnie & Dex

Reviewed in Australia on 17 April 2022

This was my first read from Melanie Harlow, I was drawn in by the cover 🥵

It follows a second generation character from Cloverleigh Farms but it can be read as a standalone. Winnie’s parents are from the first book in the series.

It was a cute contemporary romance with an age gap, single dad and grumpy/sunshine trope.

Winnie is a hopeless romantic who has sworn off men for a year after a breakup because she falls in love too fast. She moves in next door to an older and very attractive Dex, who is a fire fighting single dad of two little girls. Dex has sworn off relationships after the breakdown of his marriage and no longer believes in love.

Winnie and Dex were cute together, I did want a bit more drama (I think I read too much dark romance) but it was a nice small town romance read. I really enjoyed the scenes with Dex’s two girls they were cute!

These two hot chemistry from the start beside the point of the age gap, they were neighbours, he was a single dad with two adorable daughters, he was ex navy seal now a fire fighter and stubborn as hell. Of course they are not going to fall in love!!
I absolutely loved it from start to finish

I was a little iffy about this at first because of the way our main dude talks around his kids but I’m so glad I read this! Just the right amount of smut-romance balance! Ugh, loved it! I can finally sleep now, couldn’t go to bed without finishing this ❤️

My kind of fairytale

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 November 2021

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 ❤️‍🔥

grumpy/sunshine romance

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 March 2022

Grumpy/sunshine tropes aren’t really something I usually read but I decided to give it a chance, and I was actually surprised with how much I enjoyed this book.

Winnie was refreshing, she was a self proclaimed love junkie, after a few disastrous relationships she decides to swear off men for a while choosing to just focus on herself. That is until she gets an extremely hot new neighbour.

Dex is a broody ex Navy SEAL turned firefighter who moves in next door to Winnie, the last thing he wants is the girl next door getting under his skin. But that’s exactly what happens, and I was here for it. After one failed marriage Dex doesn’t believe in HEA but he’s about to get his.

“𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒅 𝒇𝒖𝒏 𝒕𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕.” “𝑴𝒆 𝒕𝒐𝒐.” “𝑩𝒖𝒕 𝑰 𝒅𝒐𝒏’𝒕 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖.” 𝑺𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒍𝒂𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈. “𝑰 𝒅𝒐𝒏’𝒕 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒆𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓.” “𝑮𝒐𝒐𝒅. 𝑵𝒐𝒘 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒚 𝒐𝒇𝒇 𝒎𝒚 𝒑𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐 𝒐𝒓 𝒆𝒍𝒔𝒆.”

Dex also happens to be a single dad to two adorable and hilarious little girls. Hallie and Luna stole the show at times with their unfiltered comments and hilarity.

“𝑨𝒔 𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒔 𝑰 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒆.”

Real good feel good, emotional & damn funny too

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 January 2022

Verified Purchase

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!

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!

Hot, single dad, age gap romance

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 November 2021

Verified Purchase

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.
