Paradox - Pearson Sisters #1 - by C.A. Harms

 

Blurb

Pretending had always been so easy for Shane...until Janelle moved in next door.
 

Janelle was excited to be starting a brand new chapter in her life. But her eagerness quickly plummeted when her new neighbor stormed over with his arrogance and attitude. And now, just the sight of him made her blood boil.
 

Just as she thought she knew exactly what kind of man Shane Anderson was, he blindsided her and left her speechless.
 

Turns out, she didn’t know him at all...

She quickly realized that the man he pretended to be was nothing more than a Paradox.

Excerpt

“Shh.” I look up at Slate with an arched brow, about to ask him what the hell he was shushing me for, and found him looking off toward my neighbor’s yard. “Don’t want to wake the devil.” The words were in a hushed tone, but with the openness of the yards, and the silence of the night, it did nothing to hide the conversation taking place next door.

I see Slate lift his hand to cover his mouth just before his shoulders begin to shake with the laughter he’s attempting to hide.

The voices belong to two females, and I’m surprised by my feeling of relief knowing that she doesn’t have some guy over sharing an intimate night.

“That man is hellishly evil.” I lean in closer, doing my best to hear as the humor of the situation seeps in and I too feel a smile tugging at my lips.

“Be quiet.” I recognize the voice immediately as the sassy girl I’ve had a standoff with a time or two—my neighbor. “Don’t move, laugh, or even breathe. Otherwise the dragon will come flying out shooting fire from his nose.”

“I swear he has a two by four stuck up his ass.” They break out into a fit of giggles, and if I’m not mistaken, it appears as though they may be a little tipsy.

Slate lowers his hand, showing off the grin still on his lips. “You made a couple enemies, it seems.”

Lifting my hand, I flip him off and instantly think of the blonde with gorgeous eyes using that same gesture toward me only days ago.

“Do you think he’s gay?”
My smile falters.

“Who knows?” It is hard to distinguish between the two voices. “What I do know is no matter if he prefers the bratwurst or the bun, he needs to get laid.”

Leaning over, I place my beer on the ground next to my chair and attempt to stand when Slate stops me. “Dude, please don’t break this up. It’s too funny.”

“For you maybe.” The woman thought I was gay. I definitely prefer the bun over the brat. Even if it has been a long-ass time since I’ve gotten any.

This is book 1 in a brand new series by the author and it was pretty great. The Pearson sisters are so much fun.

 

The first book is about middle sister Janelle and her new neighbor, Shane who is kinda a jerk (and that's me being kind).

 

Shane is a meanie and a grumpy gus because of the life he is forced to lead. He works two jobs to be able to take care of someone he loves, his mother. He is a self admitted mommas boy and his mom really needs him.

 

Enter his new neighbor Janelle and her sisters Jackie (the oldest) and single mom who is in the process of a divorce and the youngest sister Janie (who is kinda a sex fiend who is very inappropriate) and who provides lots of humor to the story.  These women change Shane's life and show him that he does not have to be alone and grumpy. They are very happy people and they shine their happiness on Shane.

 

This is a wonderfully told story and very sweet and romantic. Shane at times is a jerk but underneath it all he is the paradox but he is also very sweet and kind and romantic. I loved how he is totally into Janelle and he never has a hesitation on knowing who and what he wants. Its more that he feels she deserves better than him.

 

I cannot wait for more in this series. The book ends with a happy for now end and so I feel like there is more to the story which hopefully we will see in the next sisters book.
