In Tessa Bailey’s latest rom-com, two enemies team up to flip a house... and the sparks between them might burn the place down or ignite a passion that neither can ignore!

Hair, makeup, clothing, decor... everything in Bethany Castle's world is organized, planned, and styled to perfection. Which is why the homes she designs for her family's real estate business are the most coveted in town. The only thing not perfect Her track record with men. She's on a dating hiatus and after helping her friends achieve their dreams, Bethany finally has time to focus on her own: flip a house, from framework to furnishings, all by herself. Except her older brother runs the company and refuses to take her seriously.

When a television producer gets wind of the Castle sibling rivalry, they’re invited on Flip Off, a competition to see who can do the best renovation. Bethany wants bragging rights, but she needs a crew and the only member of her brother's construction team willing to jump ship is Wes Daniels, the new guy in town. His Texas drawl and handsome face got under Bethany's skin on day one, and the last thing she needs is some cocky young cowboy in her way.

As the race to renovate heats up, Wes and Bethany are forced into close quarters, trading barbs and biting banter as they remodel the ugliest house on the block. It's a labor of love, hate, and everything in between, and soon sparks are flying. But Bethany's perfectly structured life is one kiss away from going up in smoke and she knows falling for a guy like Wes would be a flipping disaster.

Tessa Bailey

New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey is originally from Carlsbad, California. The day after high school graduation, she packed her yearbook, ripped jeans, and laptop, and drove cross-country to New York City in under four days. Her most valuable life experiences were learned thereafter while waitressing at K-Dees, a Manhattan pub owned by her uncle.

Inside those four walls, she met her husband, best friend, and discovered the magic of classic rock, managing to put herself through Kingsborough Community College and the English program at Pace University at the same time. Several stunted attempts to enter the work force as a journalist followed, but romance writing continued to demand her attention.

She now lives in Long Island, New York with her husband and daughter. Although she is severely sleep-deprived, she is incredibly happy to be living her dream of writing about people falling in love.

I’ve been waiting for Wes and Bethany’s story for what feels like forever and it was everything I could hope for with more heart and heat than I ever expected!


Bethany was a heroine that I could totally relate to. She’s a perfectionist with everything in her life and as a result that has caused her stress and unhappiness. Watching her come to the realization that it’s okay to let some things go was an inspiration to me as I too often worry over the small things.


Wes was the type of hero that I adore. He’s a dirty talker with a heart of gold who is slightly broken on the inside and yet he was more than willing to work through his issues as well as those he shared with Bethany. If only we could all be so lucky to have a Wes in our lives.


This is an older woman/younger man trope with 7 years difference. While their ages posed a bit of conflict, it didn’t take them long to overcome it as they lit up the pages with a chemistry that was so hot I’m sure I’ve not read another book to compare in that department. The true issues arise in the form of what each character carries inside and I loved the way they both failed and then succeeded in making it work between them.


This is a fast read that included characters from the previous books of which I giggled and grinned at their antics. This whole group is one that once you meet, you’ll feel as though you’re a part of them...and you’ll miss them when they’re gone.
