She’s packing her bags—and her baggage.
Ten years ago, Genesis Washington made a very poor decision. At the time, it seemed great. Fantastic. Explosive. But the truth is, your one-night rebound should never be your younger brother’s rival. And he definitely shouldn’t be someone who allegedly only slept with you to gain the upper hand—even if the sex was amazing.
Now Genesis is blindsided when the farm she’s inherited just happens to be right next door to Jaxson King, the regrettable one-night stand she’s still painfully attracted to. This man has aged like the finest of wines, and what’s worse, he’s now a thoughtful and responsible father. Good thing Genesis has a (*cough* long-distance *cough*) boyfriend. Well, sort of. It’s complicated.
Jaxson and his hotness should be easy enough to ignore. But when city-girl Genesis discovers there’s a serious learning curve to her humble new home, it’s Jaxson who’s there to lend a very skilled helping hand. With every problem that arises, Jaxson is seemingly making all the right moves—both on the farm and when things heat up behind closed doors. But, surely, that doesn’t mean he’s right for Genesis, does it?

Genesis inherits a farm from her great uncle, which she is totally unprepared to run. To make matters worse, her farm is located next to Jaxson’s property. Jaxson and Genesis shared an intense one-night stand, which was a mistake.
Jaxson is now grown up and raising his child. He is still handsome, but there is too much between them. It doesn’t stop them from reconnecting and sharing in that same chemistry. The question is, are they willing to go through the struggles of being together?
The story starts off promising, but halfway through, it loses a lot of its spark. The characters are mostly okay but the chemistry is just lacking. Genesis continually pushes back on Jaxson because of family drama. It is understandable, but the connection with her and the other characters in her family is not fully fleshed out, so I didn’t really understand the real issue of being with Jaxson. I found myself skimming through the book, which is something I really hate.
The author’s writing style is really jumbled and took me out of the story. She transitions between time and scenes very awkwardly. I had a very hard time following or understanding how we got to that point. The author could have closed out a scene first before going to the next to make the transition smoother.
Overall, this may not have been the story for me it can work for those who want an easy and quick romance.
