The Other Room - Katherine Hastings

The Other Room by Katherine Hastings is the second in the Door Peninsula Passions series and is my favorite read of the summer!!

Bonding over being abandoned by their fathers and harboring a secret love for each other, Matt and Jo own every page of this story. Matt’s been spending the last year begging forgiveness from his best friend Jake.  And now it’s time to beg for Jo’s, which has proven to be a much larger task. He was the one guy, the one person, she’d always been able to count on and he blew it when he got drunk and slept with Jake’s former fiancé.

Jo’s mission to avoid him becomes more difficult when she loses her spare room to him after a few too many shots. Realizing his skills as a handyman are exactly what her cabin needs – especially when he’s working shirtless – she starts to appreciate her new roommate. Her cat Petunia needs more convincing!

Matt’s got a tool belt filled with anything he needs to fix a railing and a roof along with charm and a six pack that make him nearly impossible to resist despite his poor decisions in the past. And Jo knows it too.

Hastings gives readers a really good reason to dislike Matt and then reveals the kind of man he really is – sweet, ambitious, genuine, HOT – and makes us fall in love with him! I’ve read almost every one of Katherine’s books and this one is my favorite. With a cast of characters who value loyalty, friendship and forgiveness, The Other Room is a must-read for any lover of romance.

I received a free ARC copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
