ABOUT THE BOOK

The only thing I admire more than the old farmhouse next door is the guy who owns it. My best friend’s brother.

I didn't mean to give my hot neighbor a full peep show when my puppy locks me outside in nothing but a towel. Yet Austen Knight pretends he didn’t see everything and offers me an interior design job—help him renovate the farmhouse I’ve adored since I was a kid.

I’m a single mom trying to run a business in a small town. I can’t be alone with Austen day in and day out without igniting rumors that could hurt the career I’ve worked so hard for. But I need the money, and he’s leaving after the house is done and goes on the market.

Turns out, renovating with him is fun. Working with him is addicting. And I look forward to our cold beer together after a long day. When works turns to pleasure, I should put a stop to what we’re doing, it’s not professional, but I can’t.

Austen reignites something in me that I left behind long ago. He’s become so much more than my friend’s brother and my neighbor, but he’s going to be gone soon. Guys always leave in the end. I’ll be a struggling single mom again, and he’ll be nothing but a fearless memory.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Meet Marie Johnston

Marie Johnston is a RITA® Finalist, and a best-selling and award-winning writer of paranormal and contemporary romance – and an avid reader of them both.

Several years ago, when kids started outnumbering adults in the house, Marie Johnston left her job as a public health microbiologist to stay at home. Settling into working part-time and shuttling kids around gave Marie the opportunity to think about what she wanted to be when she grew up. A die-hard science geek, she explored her previously thought to be non-existent creative side after much time spent making snowman crafts and coloring princesses. Having entertained thoughts of writing a book one day then subsequently deciding it would be too hard, she finally put the figurative pen to paper and began to type – and fell in love with story telling.

 

The Sigma Menace is the first series by Marie with Fever Claim being her first book EVER.  She is humbled by the fact that people are willing to read to her books and looks forward to keeping readers entertained for many years.

 

Marie lives with her husband and four kids in North Dakota where the summers are gorgeous, the winters are brutal, and spring and fall are luxuries.

I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Austen is a new character in this series as he is related to the Oil Knights, he has been in the military and is just now back. So, we as readers have just met him. He is retired and is trying to rebuild this old farmhouse so he can resell it before he moves to California for a security job with some of his military buddies.

V is a single mom to a daughter, and she has had some sexual relationships that have embarrassed her daughter. Namely to Dr. Wyatt the town casual sex vet doctor. She is also friends with the Oil Knights women, and so all this happened in a previous book. She is trying to be better than that and make her daughter proud. So, when Austin moves next door and is super sexy, she tries to avoid him. All this becomes very hard when he wants to hire her to help him renovate his house next door. 

Both V and Austin are around the same age but it's a bit of forbidden as V is trying to go for a guy who wants a relationship, so she doesn't embarrass her daughter again. Meanwhile Austen is only wanting casual, he plans to leave town.

 When V needs to make money to pay for her daughter's camp she has to take Austen's job and so the very hot attraction develops. Can she resist her sexy next-door neighbor that she works with and is the brother of her best friends when she will see him at family events? And did I mention their bedrooms look into each other's windows. 

If you are thinking this book sounds hot, well yes, it is. These two have lots of sex fun. Some even from their bedrooms with each other. So, if you like a spicier book and less of a plot, then you will love this book. 

This was a good story and I really enjoyed getting to know Austen. I really didn't connect very well with Vienne. Her behavior with Wyatt in other books did not make me like her very much. In this book she was okay, but I didn't always understand her behavior. I have loved other books in this series more than this book. But I did like Austen and getting to know him and his backstory. 

If you want a lot of spice and low drama or angst, then I think you will really enjoy this romance.
