Scottie Monroe knows her projects are perfect…if only she believed in herself the same way.
On camera, she’s the confident DIY influencer who can transform forgotten spaces into something beautiful. Off camera, she’s still trying to prove to her mother that what she does is more than a hobby.
When Scottie lands a reality TV renovation deal centered around her late grandmother’s abandoned house in Bluestone Lakes, it feels like the opportunity of a lifetime. A real show. A real renovation. A real chance to prove she’s enough.
There’s just one problem.
The head contractor for the show is Tucker Daniels—the reckless one-night stand she had the night before her big audition. The same man who slipped out before she woke up.
Tucker hides behind easy smiles and sarcastic one-liners, but beneath the humor is a man who doesn’t let anyone close, especially not someone who sees straight through the cracks he works so hard to hide.
When the producers decide the show needs a little extra chemistry, Scottie and Tucker are forced to fake date for the cameras. But as demolition begins, the line between staged romance and something real starts to blur. The more they tear into the house, the more they find long-buried secrets and emotions neither of them are ready to face.
But when sparks fly, nothing stays the same.
And sometimes the past has to burn to ashes before you can finally build your Dream Home.

Tropes: small town romance. Fake dating. Home renovation
This is the third book in this series and this did not disappoint!!! Tucker has been my favorite since the beginning and I’m so happy for his book. Jenn you’ve done it again. I got this as an ARC and loved it so much I listened to the audio as well. The audio made it come to life and made me love the book even more. If you haven’t read this series I highly recommend it. Also recommend the audios for these books as well. Can’t wait for the next one.

“Is that what you want, Scottie?” My voice stays low, lips grazing the shell of her ear. “To bang it out in one go?” Her body tenses, but she doesn’t move—doesn’t pull away. “Think you can handle finishing what you started?”
“Careful, Scottie. The way you say my name…like that? It’ll ruin me.”
“You said you can’t breathe when we’re in the same room. I hope you know you make it easier for me to breathe.”
Scottie and Tucker’s story is a nice warm hug that we all need! I absolutely enjoyed reading their story about competing on a realty show and transforming an old family home into their dream home. All while pretending to fake date. I loved seeing Scottie learning to choose herself and her happiness instead of trying to be what everyone else expected her to be. How Tucker dealt with the grief he was drowning in. And I loved seeing Nan pop in and drop the truth bombs. Gosh this is my favorite of the series! Loved it and the audio book was fantastic!

What also made the story hard for me to invest in was that Scottie never felt believable as a renovation expert. She’s presented as a successful DIY influencer, but throughout the book there are multiple moments that highlight how little she actually understands about construction and home renovation. For example, Tucker has to explain basic structural concepts to her—like why they can’t remove a load-bearing wall without compromising the integrity of the house—and instead of listening to the experienced contractor, she argues with him despite clearly lacking the knowledge or experience.
I think her character would have been much stronger if there had been more credibility behind her background, whether through formal training, hands-on experience working for a contractor, or even showing that she truly understood the fundamentals of renovation beyond social media content. Instead, she felt like someone who watched a few tutorials online and suddenly believed she was an expert.
Because I never found Scottie genuine or convincing, I struggled to emotionally invest in either the romance or the overall story.
