It’s Valentine’s Day weekend, and Charlotte and Seth are not looking for romance. Armed with emotional-support bear spray, Charlotte is in self-imposed isolation and on guard from men. Having a stalker can do that to a person’s nerves. Just across the hall and giving off woodsy vibes is Seth, a recently divorced arborist. As in today recently. Heights, he’s fine with. Trust? Not so much. But when disaster traps them one flight up and no way down, an outrageously precarious predicament forces a tree-loving guy and a rattled girl next door to embrace their captivity. Soon their defenses are breaking away. Considering how close they both are to the edge, Charlotte and Seth could be in danger of falling—in love.
*MY THOUGHTS*
This was a lot lol But I chalked it up to it being a novella. It needed to be as weird and insta lovey as possible to keep people interested I thought. It worked for me anyway lol
Ok so the reason I say this was a lot was because it was for it to be a novella. The whole back ground with both characters and then there was them falling in love. I thought this was gooing to be an HFN lol But I can’t say I was mad. I didn’t think it was that bad. But I can say I know there will be some that are upset by this. But like, you gotta understand this isn’t a fleshed out complete story. It’s just a snippet so she only had so many words.
The characters were cute tho. I liked the MMC. He was funny and immediately looked out for her, even when he didn’t know the whole story. And then there was the FMC and her back story. I liked that it was included because it gave her a way to not only show her soft side, but also her bad ass I’m not playing with you side lol And the supporting characters, like the old ladies? Top tier lol Comedy. I can only imagine how they were acting once they got out of the apartment lol
This was a lot, but it was enjoyable for what it was. I thought it was fun enough. I hope y’all at least try this. But read it with a grain of salt. Or not lol
Overall, I give this
