Marisol is a sparky Porta Rican superintendent and owner of an apartment building in Brooklyn. Since her parents retired to Porta Rica, she’s been looking after the building and its tenants and it’s a job she really loves. Mostly because she’s a kind-hearted person who likes caring for others.

Sutton is one of Marisol’s tenants after being discharged from the SEALs due to his leg injury. While he continues to adapt back to civilian life, he’s faced with continual challenges with his leg, the constraints of what he’s physically and mentally capable of doing now and attempting to get into the dating world again. All of which he’s got Marisol supporting him through.

When one of Marisol’s tenants dies unexpectedly, her life takes a turn as she deals with the death of her tenant and lifelong friend, his drug addict grandson and only living relative, another tenant getting assaulted and so much more. With Sutton’s help (as he manages his own life decisions and attempts to re-enter the dating market) she needs to get everything in order to put the apartment up for lease while trying to solve the mystery that is his grandson.

The story itself was really interesting and explored a few different topics, however, the editing really frustrated me and is mostly why I didn’t think it was as good in the end.

Now, I know I got an advanced copy from Netgalley, but I can’t say I’ve ever had one with such poor spelling and grammar from there before!

My understanding was that the books should be pretty close to being ready to be published by the time it goes on Netgalley so while I understand that some errors will likely still make it through, I shouldn’t be having to rearrange sentences, completely change words out or correct spelling in my head just to have it make sense. I’m really hoping it got another few rounds of edits in before it got released, but if not, you’ll likely get pretty frustrated at the problems like I did.

But going back to the story now, the pacing was really well done. There were changes between romance, action, drama and everything else to keep you engaged and wanting to know more. And it ended really strongly. It really was just that need for more edits that brought it down!
