About this item

Montgavin Township will never be the same when one night changes the lives of six people.

When the single mom moves in next door, it's your enemy's soon-to-be ex-wife.
Lines are drawn, and I have to remember not to cross them.

Brady
For once, my life was calm.
Behind us was the threat our distillery was going to be shut down.
Now we could focus on growing our brand exactly the way I dreamed of doing it when I took it over.
Nothing was going to stop me.
Until she moved in next door.
My enemy’s wife with her seven-year-old son.
I don’t need this right now.
But everything inside me pulled me toward her.
Even offering her a job. Little did I know, again, I was starting a war.
However, I’m ready for it this time.

Harmony

It was no secret my husband had a wandering eye.
Leaving him shouldn’t have been a shock to anyone.
For Winston, it was more about failing at something that got under his skin.
Besides, he had to make his parents happy.
Which means he’s going to make my life unhappy.
When the pounding starts at my door one night, I’m ready to ignore it.
Until the stranger next door comes to our aid.
He’s everything you want in a man.
I know I shouldn’t involve anyone else in my life.
But maybe it’s time for me to see what dreams are made of.

    Harmony and Brady. No one would ever think the two of them would connect..on any level! But after leaving her toxic marriage, and fighting to stay afloat for her son against her powerful in-laws, she’s at the end of her rope. She moves into the last house she has as an option in town. And it just so happens to be next door to Brady.

    Brady can’t figure out why Harmony and her young son moved in to the dilapidated house next door. She should have a big check coming to her from her ex and should be living in luxury. He quickly finds out what’s going on after a drunken late night visit from her ex. And the pull he feels toward Harmony is not what he was expecting at all. And the need to help her sever ties with her old life and make her and her son his gets stronger as time goes on. He even calls in help from a previous character to help.

    I really enjoyed this story. The emotion, humor and character interaction is so well written, I didn’t want to put it down. And as always the steam level is perfection.

    Thoughts: I really liked this book. It was a quick read for me as I read it in one sitting. It was fast paced and well plotted out. I liked the evolution of Brady and Harmony’s relationship. They started out as enemies, but quickly realized they had a common enemy, Harmony’s ex.

    Harmony was a strong character who was going through so much and finally finding her way. She was dedicated to giving her son the best life she could.

    Brady was extremely protective of Harmony, even when he thought he hated her. As soon as he got to know her, he saw the error in blaming her for her ex’s actions. Brady became her rock and never wavered in claiming both her and her son Wyatt.

    Brady, oh my Brady. Forever the protector of all things. The way you came through for Harmony, my heart warmed.

    Harmony, I commend you for fighting. You put yourself and your son first. Never game up even when you knew defeat. That showed a woman who loves herself and her child. You took it and came out on top. I loved this for you.

    The surprises in this book had me giddy and welling. Oh, how the mighty has fallen. KARMA!!!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Finding their happily ever after

    Harmony Cartwright’s family has caused so much hurt. After the events of the last book, she can’t forgive her husband’s behavior. He’s a spoiled drunk, a terrible human, an even worse father, and has been flaunting his unfaithfulness around town. She’s known for a long time that their marriage is over, but now Harmony has had enough. All she wants is a divorce, but Winston is determined to ruin her.

    Brady Thatcher has hated the Cartwright’s for a long time. They’ve tormented his family, and he’ll never find in his heart to forgive them. He’s especially angry when Harmony Cartwright moves next door, bringing a world of chaos to his quiet neighborhood.

    This book was so sweet! Poor Harmony is doing her best to make ends meet, but life is giving her a run for her money. I loved how hardworking she was. She was burning both ends of her candle, but never once complained. It just made it so much sweeter when Brady finally steps in, and tries to help. It takes him a minute to pull his head out of his butt, but once he did? Swoon city.

    I loved this book even more than the first. It’s much less heartbreaking, but still emotional in the best way. I loved watching the relationship between Harmony and her son, and the way Brady fits into their life. It was so very sweet.

    I can’t wait to see what happens next!

    This was such a good story. I loved it from start to finish. The characters were meant for each other and Brady was so good for Harmony and such a protector for her. Loved how the judge shut down Winston. Nice HEA and some spicy scenes to boot!

    This book just grabbed me and refused to let go, but then again Natasha tends to do that with all her books. Add that I was able to listen to the audio and that only made the whole experience next level. Brady has nothing but negative for anyone that has the Cartwright last name. When Harmony and her son Wyatt move in next door, he refuses to allow her to be anything but a passing thought. The problem with that is her ex refuses to allow her to move forward, and Brady ends up needing to get involved to keep her and Wyatt safe. Harmony has only ever known what it was like to carry a last name that means nothing but power. Her ex was good at stepping out on her and refused to change his ways. When her neighbor steps in to help, she bakes him a pie in thanks. As she is doing everything, she can to find a job she stops in all the places in town and ends up getting hired by Brady. What neither of them realize is when they are forced together the sparks fly and Brady realizes that he was so wrong about Harmony. I have to say, Brady might have become one of my TOP tier Natasha Madison guys she has written. This man fights his feelings as much as he can but then finds that sometimes what you weren’t looking for is right in front of you and then you do everything you can to protect it. The way he just steps in and shows Wyatt things like a father would. Yeah, he is just amazing. Harmony has a strength that a mama bear would have. She does everything for her son and that includes losing sleep while she works as much as she can. And seeing how she just finds it in herself to allow Brady to get close speaks volumes about who he is and that she feels safe with him. This book gives you all the feels while showcasing that finding the right person truly makes life better. Also, just a moment to say thank you to Ryleigh Richards for all the comic relief that she brought. I loved her book with Stone and getting to see her in her element was something of pure enjoyment.
