Book Review: Yes No Maybe by Jessica Sherry

♡ Thank you for the free book, author Jessica Sherry.

Synopsis

Teacher and fix-it queen Rowan Mackey avoids attention. Afflicted with serious burns as a teenager, she gets too many unwanted stares already. Consequently, her difficult dating history has taught her to dislike romance, too. So, it’s no surprise when her boyfriend’s extravagant public proposal goes sideways.

Longing for a safe, quiet life with Dean and believing his “independent together” arrangement is her best hope for companionship and a family, Rowan buys the perfect little house to fix things.

Problem is… she shares a property line with Jack Graham, a bestselling romance writer and party-centric playboy, who quickly becomes her next door nemesis. He makes it very clear—he doesn’t want a new neighbor. But when clashes with Rowan end his year-long writer’s block, he must explore his creative fascination with his reluctant muse under atypical Neighbor. Engaged. Off-limits.

These opposites attract, forging a surprise connection. Boundaries vanish as tension rises between them, and they face emotionally charged choices.

Will Rowan risk her safe life with Dean for a chance with the grumpy playboy next door? And will Jack change everything to find the inspiration he craves with the one woman he shouldn’t?

Thoughts

I am so happy that this book found its way to me. Beyond its pretty cover are layers and depth. As someone who carries fond memories of school, I appreciate that this story is in part an ode to educators. It is also a tribute to love. The imperfect, take-me-as-I-am, slow-burn type of love. But also, love of the found family variety. Check out this book if you enjoy a contemporary romance story with realistic characters. Be prepared to feel a range of emotions!
