It was a cute book, and thoroughly entertaining. I loved Grant! He was sexy, wonderful firefighter. Who does not love those? Then we meet Niki, she was firecracker, who was doubting herself, since her boyfriend dumps her by text..huh. They end up having an awesome night together, with no strings, after her sisters wedding. But then, guess who ends up being her temporary roomate? yup..What happens next, I can not tell you, you should read.

Niki Hamilton has what she thinks was going to be a one night stand at her sister’s wedding, with firefighter Grant Power’s. Afterwards she finds out that the place she was staying is being sold and by having no where to stay because she does not want to impose on her sister. She agrees to move in with Grant who has spare bedrooms after his divorce. Grant is still trying to recover from his divorce from his wife who had an affair with her boss. Now is dealing with Niki who is working for a man who does not sound very nice but she wants the job because he keeps throwing her a bone at working in London. She has always wanted to travel and she feels that this is her opportunity. Now as the time between them in his home drags on she is beginning to see what life could be with Grant and after going to his families’ farm in upstate New York she is really liking what she sees. When Grant goes to the club one night he believes he sees her kissing the boss and bringing up old thoughts he kicks in gear of selling his home and moving away, for that is what she is doing anyway. When Niki finds out what he say she now puts in motion a plan to see if she can catch her a fire, so her fireman can put it out. I really liked this story and the characters.

I honestly really enjoyed this book! I went in a little bit wary because this trope can be over done. But this book kept me interested and non stop reading. It was fresh, sexy, romantic and engaging. Niki and Grant were both well written characters and I could picture what was happening in the book as I was reading. All good signs of a great book. 
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book provided by NetGalley.

Overall I enjoyed this. Very little angst in the romance area and fun.

Characters:

Grant: loved him. He didn’t whine or feel life was unfair. He was a kind, sweet and sexy firefighter. He was leaving Miami so he could go home to help his parents with the farm. I loved how he was always there to help people. there were no pretenses with him-what you see is what you get. He was great to Niki. Whenever she was in a jam he helped her out. For example: flowers for the club he got them for her. 

Niki- she was okay. I liked her in general but I felt she was to life is down on me and to damsel in distress for most of the book. She tried to say she was strong and independent but wasn’t always. When things went awry she got down on herself and brought more drama than needed. I did enjoy her with Grant. In the end she matured the most and really grew up. She learned to stand up for herself and not be a pushover. she learned to take control of situations and not get down because of them. 

Side characters: Grant’s family was sweet and fun. Niki’s boss was a douchecanoe but her brother in law and sister were great. 

 Romance: we begin with a funny scene and have some serious attraction between Niki and Grant. I enjoyed the banter between them. They were trying for just friendship due to the situation but so glad it turned into more. I enjoyed watching Grant come to terms with his past and realize that Niki is not his ex and to take a chance. Niki learned that Grant doesn’t want to hold her back and that he would support her and be there for her not get in her way. She was stubborn at first about her goals but does realize what she wants in the end and goes for it. the romance area was fun, flirty and sexy when needed.

Overall: enjoyed. Niki added the angst in her own life because she was needing to grow and find her voice but in the romance little angst and drama.

he thing about the best man's proposal is that i don't actually remember him proposing anything. because the whole thing that gets niki and grant living together is niki's sister and new husband's doing. it's super awkward because niki and grant had just had the best one night stand, and now they are supposed to be roommates. 

it's a temporary thing though. grant is selling his house to move back to upstate new york, and niki has a job offer that could have her moving to london. everything they want for their future is the complete opposite. grant wants to work back on his family's farm and find a way to serve his community—he's a firefighter in miami. and niki wants the city life. she wants thrills and excitement. 

but for all that they want opposite things, they also want each other. being in each other's space all the time only brings out the blazing hot chemistry they have. but how can they have a future when there is no middle ground to compromise on? how can they make it work without one of them having to give up their dreams?

grant is always ready to save the day for niki, but he already gave up his dreams for someone once, and he doesn't have it in him to do it again. even though niki is worth it. but are her dreams really what she wants? or have her dreams changed?

there are lots of questions here. and they do all get answered. niki and grant have something worth fighting for. as roommates they fit into each other's lives just so, so there has to be a way to figure it out long term.

Had never read this author before but, will read again. Was a hot read. Great characters and who can resist a romance storyline? One of the vetter reads of my 2017.

This booked pulled me in and I could not put it down.

I loved how both character where trying to figure life out and how the other could fit into their life.
Niki is fresh out of college working her dream job, with an amazing chance to move out of the country (to London) to start fresh. At her sisters wedding a steamy one night stand turns into more. When the Best man (and the guy she slept with) takes her in right after she is basiclly asked to move out. Things are great and akward, but both start to fall for each others. Life happens and things get conffused, soon Niki is off to London and Grant is off to New York. Can these two figure out their crazy lives and come together to live happly ever after?

Niki and Grant met right before her sister's wedding when Niki crashed into Grant.  Niki had just come out of a relationship and Grant had just gotten divorced, all they both wanted to do was have a HOT one night stand. They didn't realize that they were going to run into each other the day after. Niki lives with her sister while she was finishing school, she finds out that her sister sold her house to a developer and she has no where to live. Lucy's husband decides to pay rent to Grant to store his files in his spare room and suggests to Grant that Niki can stay with him until the house sells. Will they be able to keep it platonic? You will have to read to find out!  Grant is a farm boy through and through and had just moved to Miami, FL for his now ex-wife's job. Now that he is divorced his plan is to move back to his families farm to help his aging parents and grandparents. Niki has a job at a night club with a sleazy boss named Tristan. If she succeeds in running the club in Miami, she would get to open his club in London. 
One of the reasons that I didn't give it 5-stars is the title, it doesn't really tell you what to expect in the book. This my first book that I have read of Wynter Daniels and it won't be the last! 
Thank you to Netgallery for the advanced readers copy for an honest review. This didn't affect my opinion of this book in anyway.

Two people who seen so wrong for each other are somehow also perfect together. It's a story about opposites and how they come over their differences simply because they know that their love is worth all that. I loved it! And I think their story is truly amazing. It's a must read for every contemporary romance fan. I enjoyed it a lot, with so many laugh-out-loud moments and swoon-worthy romantic scenes.

Niki wants to get out of under her sister's shadow. What more she wants to work and love in Europe. It has always been her dream and she is willing to endure a few hardships now and then if it means that ultimately she will be moving to London. Also after a few bad experiences she has decided love is not in the cards for her. She just wants to focus on her carrier and achieve what she has always wanted in her life. Until she meets Grant.

Grant is a country man, he is waiting for his house to be sold so that he can move back to take care of his family's farm. What he and Niki has can go no further than friends with benefits. But for some reason he wants more, after a long time he has felt this way about someone, and he just wants to give it a try.

Although, they both have decided that they are wrong for each other and any relationship between them will not work, but the fate has something else in mind....

I love both Niki and Grant. The author has done a great job with these two characters, they're very well written. Niki is exactly the kind of heroine I like most, and well, Grant is definitely something to talk about. Together they are simply perfect and the chemistry between them is off the charts hot. I quite enjoyed reading their story and I hope others do too.

Niki Hamilton on the rebound, hooks up for one night with Grant Powers at her sisters wedding never expecting to have to see him again. Turns out her sister thinks it’s a great idea for Niki to stay in Grant’s spare room after she loses her room. We follow Niki and Grants attempts to stay as platonic housemates, which gets harder as they get to know each other. 
I found some of this book a bit repetitive and fraught.

This is my third Entangled book since I became a reviewer for them, and I have to say, I was disappointed. The premise sounded interesting enough - Niki needs a place to stay, Grant has an extra bedroom in his house, they hooked up at her sister's wedding, CAN THEY STAY PLATONIC?! But I didn't feel like the book delivered like I hoped it would.

I think part of the problem is how much I disliked Niki. We are in her head about half the time, so not liking the POV of roughly half the book is a problem. She was wishy-washy, and whiney, and had no spine to speak of until she met Sandi at the very end of the book. I wanted better for Grant, who just loved his cat so much. That part was adorable, haha. Anyway, Niki wasn't great, but Grant was a good love interest.

I didn't love this book, but I didn't hate it either. I'd still pick up other books by this author in the future.

Thank you to Entangled and NetGalley for the advanced reader's copy in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my opinion in any way. Full review to come on my blog.

Another great story from Wynter Daniels, the more I read the deeper I fell into this story.

Niki, dumped via text by her now ex the day her sister is getting married, dressed in what she describes at best flamingo look, she may very well blend into the locale which is Miami. She's just started a new job and her boss is a real jerk, and will soon find out she has no place to live. She's living at her sisters condo while it's up for sale until she can find another job. The hitch here is that giddy beyond belief the happy couple make an announcement that the condo has sold and Niki has two weeks to get out. And no place to go. So in her sister's need to "fix" and the new husband going right along problem solving for Niki, they talk to Grant, Joel's firefighting best man and since Grant's house in for sale and he has an extra room, he's slowly sucked into agreeing Niki can stay there. They're both resistant to the idea
Grant is still extremely gun shy and bitter after moving to Miami with his wife because of her career, leaving his job, friends and family and the only life he's ever known to move to Miami and he hates it.
That's why the house is for sale, he wants to return to his family's farm to help his parents.
He and Niki seem to get along quite well, their love of old movies and much in common, but he holds back especially where his ex is concerned. Grant resents the way Niki's boss treats her and dangles the carrot of something more in front of her. Grant takes Niki up to his parents for the grandparents 60th anniversary when Niki is called home the day before the party which she helped plan. She's good at what she does. When she arrives she discovers her boss didn't need her at all. But the carrot still dangles.
Grant decides to lower the selling price in hopes of selling sooner and Niki doesn't know until the real estate agent tells her. This leads to all sorts of crazy thinking and then when his beloved cat runs out the front door, her world goes to hell. 
It's a great story that has two people stuck in their own mindsets who finally meet in the middle. Middle of what? You have to read the book to find out. Grant is dreamy and I liked Niki. 
Put this one on your TBR list!
4.5 stars

I am a sucker for any Entangled books. This one was not different. 
Niki Hamilton is kind of a sad sack. She is living rent free at her sisters, while working a new job she hopes lands her in London. She kind of has a "poor me Vibe" that I didn't love, because she was a grown up, but putting that aside, she was ok.

Firefighter Grant Powers, recently got divorced. He is selling his Miami home to move back to his family's farm in NY. He is done with city life. At his friend's wedding he hooks up with Niki. It was supposed to be a one night stand, until his friend asks is Niki can stay with him while she is looking for somewhere to live (again.... kind of sad a grown women is treated and acts like a child). He agrees and one night turns into love.... with some bumps along the way to happiness.

How romantic and sexy. Fighting attraction isn't always what it is cracked up to be. When you meet some one that has goals that are different than yours what do you do? Do you change your goals or do you realize those goals you had are actually not what you want. Grant and Niki meet and when they do is it fate, destiny, or disaster?
Thank you NetGalley and Wynter Daniel for allowing me to read and write a honest review of this book.

4/5 stars! Loved the sexual tension in this book, but was expecting a little more than I received based on the description. The animals in this novel is what bumped my rating up so high and made me fall in love with the book! Well done!
