Fun and not what I was expecting
This was a fun read, definitely not exactly what I expected but it was highly entertaining. Loved Sylvia. My spirit Granny.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. It was funny, mysterious, cute, and a little steamy. Julia moved away from her family who have very different views. Her family believes women should be subservient to men and hold no power. Julia doesn’t agree with this lifestyle. She has found who she is, and loves herself and is unwilling to change for anyone. If people don’t like her, oh well. She’s funny, cute, strong, and a little bit weird(same girl). Grant is pretending to be someone he is not. Boring. But he has a few fun secrets

Kind of a fun, ridiculous, book with absolutely hilarious and over the top elderly characters that I adored! Worth the read if you are looking for a relaxing, read in a sitting type story with characters that stick in your brain, but don’t take over any emotions except laughter.

Watts is a new to me author, and the premise of this book was just too cute to pass up.
Julia is a twenty-something looking to start over in Florida turns out the sweet two bedroom she scored over the internet is smack dab in the middle of a retirement community. Which is fine until her grumpy neighbor Walter asks for a favor than promptly disappears. Enter the hot and swoony nephew Grant a mysterious box of frozen fish tails and some dangerous thugs and now we got ourselves a hilarious, romcom mystery.
I loved Julia from the beginning, she’s independent and so sassy, and though living in a retirement community was not in her new life plan she surprisingly ok with it, the neighbors look out for her and she’s their TI expert. It’s hate at first sight with Grant though while she’s trying to a fish post box key out of Walters fish tank. Grants while hot AF and swoony to boot is not any happier about having Julia mixed up in what ever if uncle has gotten himself into this time and her really doesn’t want her help, but 2 run ins with her later and is inevitable that he’s attracted to her and need to keep her safe from the baddies.
The mystery and intrigue in the book was just as engaging for me as the romance, Watt did a great job of weaving to the two together making this romcom suspense a real treat.
The burn in this one is intense but isn’t necessarily slow, sexy times happen at about the half way mark and that was totally fine with me, we had a lot going on and these two needed some relief while they tracked Walter and tried to figure out what was going on.
I enjoyed all the supporting characters in the book as well and it I will defiantly be reading more from Watts!
