** SPOILERS AHEAD**

This was very cute! Loved the premise and the execution. Robbie is such a dream and just the sweetest person alive and she and Devyn just made such a good match. I do wish we got a bit of a confrontation between Robbie and Matt re. the cheating, it seems like he got off super scot-free, he and Devyn kinda of stayed friends (even wanting to hook up with her again like bro who ARE you) and he didn't even get roasted by Robbie.

Devyn says he was a bad husband but not a bad guy the dude didn't even warn his wife a stranger was gonna live with her for a month - which also set Robbie up for difficulty so he's a bad friend too - not to mention he had never even MET Robbie IRL... so zero concern for his ex-wives safety lol. Also not gonna lie, I fully believe this man told Robbie to do the weeding and didn't tell her about Devyn's garden so that it would get ruined.

I also would have liked to see Robbie meeting Devyn's parents and Devyn meeting Robbie's uncle.

Thank you to Netgally and Bella Books for an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

Very enjoyable. The events and characters' behavior pleasantly surprised me, and I appreciated the author's comment about how the book came about. However, I found some repetition of certain sentences, which became quite annoying. Additionally, the communication between the main characters was frustrating. If anyone were to use the communication skills they presented, I would be confused and feel unimportant to that person.

This author is one to watch for even though I'm newer to her books, I absolutely adored this one. Housebutch is not a term I've heard before, but Clevenger definitely did it justice with this book.

Robbie Price decides to houseswap with her friend for a month and live in San Diego to get a break from all the rain in Seattle. She expects a nice vacation and to do some things her friend had meant to do, but hadn't gotten around to. What she doesn't expect is the ex wife to not know about the arrangement and they get off to a very rocky start.

Devyn Lancaster is a busy ER doctor who doesn't expect a stranger at her house weedwhacking her garden and planning to live on her property for a month. She gives in and lets her stay after realizing just how helpful she is around the house and how well she cooks. She doesn't expect to be attracted to her as she'd never been with a woman.

This was enticing, engaging and very, very hot. It was fantastic to read how their relationship evolved and even though they didn't talk about what was happening between them, it was conveyed across the page. I couldn't put this book down and read it in less than a day. I fell in love with the story and I highly recommend.

I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Robbie Price expected a month long vacation in San Diego as part of a house trade with a coworker.

She did NOT expect her coworker's ex-wife to be right there.

Devyn Lancaster is NOT happy.... Matt did not tell her about the trade or about the strange woman staying in her cabin on the property.

On the us side, she's willing to help fix up the place.

Robbie not knowing garden plants in kinda... wtf? Poor Devyn tho. "YOU WEEDWACKED MY FLOWER BED"

They tolerate each other st first, then Devyn realizes she's attracted to Robbie, whom already finds Devyn hot.

The book does have the traditional 'break them up 3/4 through the book for drama' twist, but st least it's not a stupid fight.

Good read, a very solid and well written book.
