About this item

Working remote on a houseboat in Seattle sounds amazing-until it rains for four months straight. Now Robbie Price would love any excuse to get on dry land. When a co-worker who's going through a divorce suggests a house swap, Robbie can't pass up the chance to spend four weeks in a beach cottage in San Diego. All she needs to do is avoid her co-worker's ex-wife and finish a few home improvement projects.

Devyn Lancaster never expected to get divorced, but she isn't exactly unhappy about how things have turned out. She has more time to focus on being a doctor in a busy hospital and can let go of trying to be a better wife. Still, there are some things at home she'd like someone to take care of. Like basically everything she has no time to do.

Robbie Price is the last person Devyn expects to want to keep around-especially after Robbie accidentally weed whacks her pollinator garden. But Robbie makes a mean lasagna and in one weekend completes half the items on her to-do list.

Soon Devyn has to admit she likes having a temporary housebutch. And Robbie can't deny the house swap turned out to be a perfect change. Saying goodbye at the end of the month might be harder than either realize.

    I truly enjoyed reading this book by Jaime Clevenger. It had angst in the beginning, then expected angst later in the story. I feel the timeline for the reunion was a little drawn out. However, I loved how they rectified the situation.
    The secondary characters were fun, supportive, and necessary. They were a great group to know.
    I loved the premise and the way the story came to be.
    I enjoy books by this author, and I will continue to follow.

    5.0 out of 5 stars the best book ever

    I’ve read a lot of lesbian fiction and I like all kinds adventure rugged individualism sexy stuff but this book hit all of the points I need to feel complete enjoyment. It was different from any lesbian novel I’ve ever read. The sensitivity respect and level of sexiness was greater than anything I’ve ever read before. The sex things were different too and just as powerful. I highly recommend this book which I never do. I read it as a lark and will cum back for more pun intended.

    Very good book! I absolutely enjoyed the characters. My one negative I felt the ending was rushed a bit. Don't know what happened to Matt plus a couple of facts about the M'C's were left unsaid.

    This is a cute love story with butch and femme characters. I highly recommend this if you love romance novels. Great job with the characters and how they let their walls go up and come down for love!

    Fun sweet romance. The characters are likable and interesting. Of course Angel the Jack Russell is a sweetheart. This is a very good read. Thanks for another good read.

    What a wonderful story. The MC’s were well developed, the plot was believable, and the pooch was adorable. I couldn't help but laugh out loud a couple of times! I look forward to reading more of this author’s books. Well done!

    One of those rare books that I can truthfully say----I loved everything about this one. Devyn is going through the end of a loveless marriage. Robbie is best friends with the ex-husband. Oh my, but the complications! Although the two women were never really enemies it did take a short time for "straight" Devyn to realize that maybe she wasn't what she thought. No real drama here. The ladies' hot scenes were really, really hot. Characters were all well portrayed---even Angel! I loved him and he did such a good job of bringing it all together. The author has done a wonderful job of writing another great book to add to my library!

    4.0 out of 5 stars So sweet!

    This book was really good! I quite enjoyed how unique the premise was. A butch lesbian, Robbie, trades homes for a month with her straight male coworker so that he can get away from his ex wife, Devyn. The forced proximity was very well executed with them bumping into each other around the house and working together to care for Angel, Devyn’s beloved dog.

    The characters were very easy to love with Robbie being super handy and challenging Devyn instead of always letting her have her way. Not that Devyn was too controlling, she just needed to have a say in most things after a recent period where much was out of her control. They clashed a bit but they still complemented each other very well.

    The side characters were an additional treat in this book. Angel was simultaneously a handful and adorable and Devyn’s friends were supportive and caring. I only wish that Matt had gotten his just desserts at some point during the book because I’m petty.

    Abby Craden’s performance for the audiobook was flawless as always. She’s so expressive and easily brings the author’s words to life. 10/10.

    I’d recommend this book to anyone who likes forced proximity and/or toaster oven romances and butch/femme pairings.
