"Season Starter" was a fun enemies-to-lovers romance between aspiring B&B owner Jessica "Jessie" Green and contractor Harrison Monroe, who had recently returned to his hometown for a fresh start with his precocious 10-year-old daughter, Mel. He certainly didn't expect his company's first client to be Jessie, the girl he'd been forced to fire years ago when they were both teenagers working for the local ice cream parlor. Out of desperation, Jessie set aside her grudge because Harrison was the only contractor available to take on the renovation of her B&B, which had to be ready to open in only five weeks. If it wasn't, Jessie's purchase of the
historic property would be nullified and it would be torn down and turned into a parking lot by her old high school rival.
As Jessie and Harrison spent time together working on the renovation, the chemistry between them became harder and harder to ignore. I really enjoyed the slow burn as they worked through the unresolved feelings from their past, and when they finally acted on them, it was totally worth the wait. That said, I wish the character development had been a bit more in depth for both Jessie and Harrison because I still had a number of questions about them at the end of the story. For example, what happened to Harrison's parents that led to his adoptive father Mikey gaining custody of him and his sister Nina?

About "Season Starter"
Jessie
The last time I saw the man—jerk—of my dreams, he fired me. Now, he’s back in town to renovate my bed and breakfast before the tourist season starts.
I might have gotten over my grudge, but I sure haven’t moved on since him. Harrison is the ideal hunk, or he was back when we were young and stupid. My contractor is still sexy, possibly sweet, and easily keeps up with my sarcasm…but he’s a package deal this time. He’s back with a daughter and a chip on his shoulder, neither of which should matter to me. But the more I see him on the job, each time we clash and fall into our thrilling push-and-pull, I have to wonder if there’s something fresh to start with him before the summer kicks off.

Of all people, it just had to be Jessie Green buying this old dump. Imagine my shock that the feisty, gorgeous, stubborn girl I fell in love with in high school is the owner of our town’s former brothel.
Her plans for a B&B are a nearly impossible race against time—doable, but it’s quite the hustle. With the tables turned—her hiring me—it’d be easier if I didn’t have to see her day in and day out, worrying if she can overlook our past, wondering if she tastes as good as she looks, wishing I could have a take two. Hell, even a take one.
