Book Review: Fall Flip by Denise Weimer

She knows how to flip a home. What happens when he flips her heart?

The tragic death of Shelby Dodson’s husband—her partner in a successful Home Network house flipping business—stole love, status, and career. Now a bungalow redesign thrusts Shelby into the company of a new contractor. Scott Matthews remembers high-and-mighty Shelby from high school, and her prissy, contemporary style goes against his down-to-earth grain. When the house reveals a mystery, will its dark secrets—and their own mistakes—cost them a second chance at love?

My Review:

This was my first experience with the author and I’m pretty sure it won’t be my last. This book is a lot like reading an episode of Extreme Home Makeover. And it left me the same kind of happy emotional mess at the end. I loved both Scott and Shelby, but the pair of them frustrated me to no end. They’ve both got some pretty heavy emotional baggage they’re carrying around that keeps tripping them up. Together, they’re a perfect pairing, they just need to be able to move past their histories and stop getting in their own way. I loved reading the messages of new life, lasting love, experiencing the world with an open heart, and most especially forgiveness – of others and ourselves. They’re beautiful sentiments that the world can always use more of. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the publisher, Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas.
