The residents of Happy Haven Trailer park have been waiting for this for a long time. The slumlord who abandoned this place and let our homes deteriorate has been court ordered to live here while making repairs. Imagine our surprise when the guy who shows up to move in to the dilapidated trailer across the street isn't the sixty year old man we expected, but his son. With a teasing smile and unshakeable positive attitude, Cooper Addington Junior pushes every one of my buttons. It doesn't help that he also looks like he stepped off a fitness magazine cover. The women who live here are all over him, but for some reason he's focused on me. Too bad I see through his good guy act and I'm not falling for some spoiled rich boy. What I am going to do is keep my eye on him and make sure he's doing his job. I'm the one who took his father to court in the first place and he can't put anything over on me.

Book Two in the Happy Haven Series of connected standalone novels. Can be read as a standalone.

S.M. Shade has a prominent writing style full of humor that I really gravitated towards. The storytelling has a vibe that will stay with you long after you've finished reading. The plot was crafted well. It was compelling and kept me wanting more. 

These characters were completely likable and relatable. I loved them so much. They were complex and had distinct personalities. The character development was amazing. The secondary characters were great and added so much depth to the story. 

The banter between Maren and Cooper was delightfully snarky. Their chemistry was off the charts. I loved the enemies-to-lovers vibe going on and the evolution of their relationship. 

Overall, this was a funny story with remarkable characters that are so memorable. These characters truly capture a little piece of your heart. This book truly balances all the different elements of a Romantic Comedy perfectly. This series is outstanding and I can't recommend it enough!

The premise for this book sounded like an absolute delight and grabbed me from the get-go. Zany, laugh-out-loud romcoms that are full of shenanigans are my jam and this one really made an impression.

S.M. Shade has incredible storytelling skills. I was glued to the pages of this book nonstop. The author's writing style was relaxed and down-to-earth. It just felt so relatable. The plot was exciting and compelling from start to finish. 

The characters in this book were a total slam dunk. Even the secondary characters were awesome and added a lot of depth to the story. I loved how distinct each character was. It was so easy to fall into the orbit of these characters and fall so in love with them. There was great character growth that felt very organic and genuine. 

The romance in this book encompasses enemies/rivals-to-lovers and a close proximity trope paired with a little bit of fake dating. So pretty much all of my favorite tropes. Each of these tropes was executed perfectly in this story. I truly loved all the angst at the start of the story and how Cara and Monroe grow closer the more time they spend together. The banter between these two was fantastic and supremely entertaining. 

Overall, this is a story with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, steamy scenes, and relatable characters. The amusing situations and unpredictable plot make the book hard to put down. This author has gained a new follower in me and I am excited to read more. This book really stands out and I can't wait for the next book in this series!





S.M. Shade writes spicy romantic comedies and steamy contemporary romances with relatable characters. Whether it's a good laugh or a good cry, she likes to grab you by your emotions and make you feel.
