A zany, opposites-attract romp where rigid logic is no match for a giant dog, a chaotic household, and a meddling deceased aunt.
What it feels like
Reading this book feels like stepping into a classic romantic comedy, complete with a delightfully chaotic household and a giant, scene-stealing dog. The pace is brisk and bouncy, driven by the snappy, exasperated banter between a rigidly organized hero and a wonderfully messy heroine. It wraps the reader in a warm, zany atmosphere where slapstick situations, from rogue electricians to a matchmaking deceased aunt, constantly undermine the hero's desperate need for control. The prose is breezy and unpretentious, focusing heavily on comedic timing and the inevitable, heartwarming surrender to love. It is a perfect comfort read for anyone who delights in the grumpy-meets-sunshine trope, forced proximity, and the joyful realization that life's best moments are entirely unplanned.

About the book
What do you mean she hid the will?"
Handsome efficiency expert Julian--Mr. I've-got-a-system--Lord lived and breathed logic. Unfortunately, the situation at Willow's End following his beloved Aunt Maudie's death was anything but logical.
His ex-stepsister Callie was Ms. Disorganization herself. A couple of juvenile delinquents and a crazed electrician were tearing down the walls. And Brutus, Maudie's two-hundred-pound Saint Bernard, thought he was human. Callie did, too.
Then Julian learned Maudie had hidden her will in a posthumous matchmaking attempt, and realized logic didn't stand a chance. Still, when he found himself falling in love with Callie, he wondered if Maudie was really so crazy after all.
