Landon Fritz is a single dad to his daughter Stella and a doctor,
just like the other Fritz brothers, and is out for an uncharacteristic night
out alone when he meets Elle, the recently divorced schoolteacher that’s new to
Boston. They hit it off at the high-end bar and share one amazing night all while
agreeing to keep it to just that: one night. Little do either of them know that
they’re going to wind up becoming next-door neighbors literally the next day,
and Landon’s little lie of letting Elle think he’s really his brother Luca is
going to blow up in his face. Upon figuring out their new situation, things don’t
go well and there’s quite a bit of drama, but through this book we see Landon
and Elle move forward into so much more than neighbors annoyed with each other.
Landon and Elle are so good as the main characters! He’s
definitely my favorite Fritz now. Like he’s surly but a devoted dad and
secretively a really amazing guy. He has so much going on with his past with
what happened so sadly to his deceased wife/Stella’s mother, and that’s really such
a controlling factor when we first get into his story. It’s like there’s a war
going on inside of him, and it’s something I found endearing and real about his
character. Then, there’s Elle. She’s also got so much going on with her ex-husband
and family, but she’s so strong and resilient. Somehow, despite everything she’s
gone through, she’s still this sunshiny sort of character that has the ability
to persevere no matter what. Her character is the sort you really root for, and
I love how strong she is. The way Landon and Elle are with each other isn’t
necessarily easy for a bit there, but I completely adored how their story
unfolds.
Also, the supporting characters, especially Landon’s family,
are such a driving force in this book (and series). If you’ve read the other
books in this series, you’ll love how Landon’s family pops up when needed. They’re
peppered in at just the right moments, and I really think they’re sort of
catalysts for the individual characters’ changes in the series.
This is a spicy and loveable must read. It’s seriously everything
I wanted Landon’s story to be, and I cannot wait for Luca’s story next.
