Rose Barnes has got curves for days—and to Angus
Drummond, the big, bearded contractor working on her new house, she's the
perfect thorn in his side. Little does she know Angus is perturbed on a daily
basis by his attraction to this cheery, smart-ass woman with her sunshiny
enthusiasm, her kindness, and her beautiful body.
Angus feels he has a debt to pay to the world and
doesn't deserve love until he pays it. Best to keep his mind on his work and
his hands to himself. But the more Rose sees of Angus's gruff, honorable
thoughtfulness, and the more rusty laughter she surprises from him, the more
she wants him too.
As their unlikely friendship becomes love,
antagonism turns to partnership, and Rose's house becomes a home. But Rose is
keeping a secret that could blow up everything with Angus, and sure enough, it
comes to light at the worst possible time...
I liked the beginning of the book, but it fell apart
for me about halfway through. It also didn’t help that I didn’t like any of the
characters. Angus is a tit for tat guy. He wants nothing from anyone or to owe
anyone. To the point she offers lunch that she has with her, and he insists on
paying her for it. Which would be ok but he goes to the nth degree. He than
takes offence when Rose doesn’t tell him she won the lotto because she had
trauma of people trying to take advantage of her. He goes off and ignores her
until she basically begs him to come back. This made me so mad and frustrated.
It was a good idea but needed work.
