Book Blurb: A millionaire and a woman who thinks he's a house flipper are stuck living in a house together with a menagerie of rescue dogs as roommates, in this heartfelt romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Jaci Burton.

After her ex took all their money and bailed, Hazel Bristow is left broke and homeless. A kind friend whose home is on the market lets Hazel and her foster dogs stay there until it sells. It’s the perfect setup, until her friend forgets to tell Hazel she’s sold the house.

Linc Kennedy is shocked to find Hazel and her pups squatting in the house he just bought, but after some negotiating—she offers to cook amazing meals for him in return for a paycheck—he agrees to let her remain while he’s renovating the place. Linc tells Hazel he’s an investor who renovates homes for fun—he just leaves out the part about being wealthy.

Hazel’s intrigued by Linc. He’s funny, sweet, ridiculously hot, and loves dogs almost as much as she does. But her track record with men? Not great. She worries her trust meter isn’t in working order.

Linc’s never met anyone like the quirky beauty who puts everyone’s needs—human and canine—before her own. He didn’t tell her about his wealth because he’s been burned by women who only wanted him for his money. But with Hazel, he’s never felt more like himself. Now he has to figure out how to tell her the truth without losing her. Because Linc realizes what he feels for her isn't puppy love—it's true love.

Review:

He's a millionaire who flips houses and she fosters dogs after her ex stole her money, they both end up becoming roommates and possibly more. Hazel Bristow is broke and homeless after her ex took all their money and bailed. She's been staying at her friend's house while it's on the market and she's been fostering dogs as well. Her friends forget to tell her the house was sold... so when a strange guy appears she attacks him... only to find out he's the new owner of the house and he's here to flip it. Linc Kennedy is a millionaire who flips houses, after his last relationship ended badly because his girlfriend only wanted his money, he's been trying to avoid relationships and focus on his job... except on the first day of renovating his new property he meets Hazel and her dogs... Linc finds Hazel super attractive and feels bad that she's broke and homeless so he offers her an alternative, she can stay for free and in return he'll pay her to cook meals for him while he's renovating the place. Linc and Hazel begin falling for each other but he's kept the fact that he's a millionaire a secret. Will she be okay with his lies until now? This one for me was a bit of a miss because first of all: how the heck is Hazel fostering dogs and feeding them and herself if she's broke and homeless?? Also the romance between her and Linc is nonexistent, they really are just insta-lust and that's it. Also the third act break up just didn't really make sense, seriously?? I was hoping for a cute little rom com but it just felt immature and a bit lackluster. Overall, it just was a miss for me but if you enjoy wealthy guy x poor girl, roommates to lovers, then give this a go!
