Release Blitz + Review: "Don't You Wanna Stay" by Kait Nolan

Today, I'm happy to join the release/review blitz celebrating "Don't You Wanna Stay" by Kait Nolan, book #3 of the Men of the Misfit Inn series. It works relatively well as a standalone, though there are a fair number of characters from previous books and series who make appearances in this one.

 

After an especially stressful day that included dealing with her most difficult celebrity client as well as a run-in with her awful ex-husband, music publicist Deanna James spent the evening drowning her sorrows with her best friend Bennet. She woke up the next day to find that she had drunkenly spent her entire savings to purchase a house in an online auction. Deanna had always dreamed of fixing up a historic home, but not quite like this! With no money left for the renovations needed to make the house habitable, Deanna was at her wit's end until a chance encounter with Wyatt Sullivan, house flipper and host of YouTube home improvement show DIWyatt, presented her with an opportunity: Wyatt's help with the renovations in exchange for Deanna's PR expertise in building his brand in order for him to convince a major TV network to pick up his show. The only catch? Both Wyatt and Deanna would need to move into the house during construction to save money, making it difficult to resist her attraction to the handsome handyman.

Deanna and Wyatt were both incredibly likeable, relatable characters, and I loved how they supported and encouraged each other, especially Wyatt with Deanna's passion for design. He recognized her innate talent and believed in her even when she didn't believe in herself. Their relationship was definitely a slow burn, and while they didn't seem to have much in common at first, they ended up being more alike than they realized. Aside from their shared passion for historic homes, Wyatt and Deanna both had difficult relationships with their parents. They had to work through those issues from the past before they were ready to build a future together.

Overall, I loved "Don't You Wanna Stay" and highly recommend it for all contemporary romance readers. I look forward to the next book in the series.

About "Don't You Wanna Stay"

The Money Pit meets Fixer Upper in the next installment of the Men of the Misfit Inn series.

After a lifetime spent trying to prove he's not a screw up, contractor Wyatt Sullivan is ready to take his YouTube channel, DIWyatt, to the big time. But he needs more than the one-man flips that built his reputation. He needs something truly big to impress network execs enough to give him his own home improvement show.

After a messy, ugly divorce, publicist Deanna James can't afford another mistake. So when she wakes up from a night of too much wine to find out she's bought a historic monstrosity of a house in an online auction, she panics. If she’s going to sell it and not lose her shirt to her ex-husband, she’s going to need some serious help. But how will she afford it?

Wyatt's just the guy to ride to her rescue. He'll take on the job if she'll let him film the process. Deanna sweetens the deal with the added bonus of using her PR skills to raise the profile of DIWyatt enough to impress the suits. There's just one problem: They both have to move in.

As they battle home improvement hell and rising attraction, can they keep from giving the viewers more of a show than they ever intended?
