The last time Rose Tucker saw her ex-husband, Lincoln Hart, he was fleeing their newly minted marriage. Now the man she fell in love with at first sight has returned to say those three little "we're still married!" And while the lawyers fix the clerical glitch, the handsome millionaire offers a way to help his not-so-ex wife save her business.
The pretty interior designer can hardly wait to say "I don't." But in the meantime, Rose can't afford to turn down her husband's job offer. So she agrees to decorate Linc's new luxury condo. While Rose draws up plans for his home, he has designs on her heart. And if he gets his way, the new towels will say His and Hers.

I'd give this one a 3.5. This was my first book by Southwick and I thought it was well written. The story was fun and the characters were likeable. I felt there could have been a little more growth in the character (primarily Linc) to make the turnaround more believable. Ten years is a really long time to hold onto a belief and to feed a festering sore for it to just disappear in a matter of days, or really hours. I thought his actions to win Rose back at the end were good, but it felt too abbreviated for me to believe her sudden trust. That being said, I liked the characters and I'd be interested in finding more of this series.
I absolutely adore Rose and Linc... I have to say that this story is amazing. I haven't literally laughed out loud at a book in a long time! Little Leah is the absolute cutest! I love the feel of the book! These characters truly belong together and the chemistry is out of this world.
Linc is a bit of a stubborn man who refuses to see past his DNA and him not being who he thinks he is. Rose is a soft hearted woman who was left broken by this man who waltzes back into her life like he never left it.
The story of the two of them working together to complete his condo and get her business out of the dirt is both comical and romantic. The witty banter between the two indescribable. The Love Linc has for his little Sister is an exact match for the relationship my own brother and I have. Its the best bond in the word. I absolutely ADORE this book. If you haven't read it then you definitely need to. Grad your copy today!
