Violet is a strong, independent woman who is having a very low moment in her life. She's been through a tragedy and she's trying to cope. Not to mention her career is a man's world and so she has extra pressure on herself to show the men that she belongs.
She had noticed her next door neighbor and the way they actually met, cracked me up! Their relationship was fun to watch and slowly but surely they began to infiltrate each other's lives. Even though Violet had other intentions, she couldn't help BUT to fall for Noah.
Noah accepts Violet's offer at first (what guy wouldn't?!). And even though he knew her rules, he kept hanging out with her. He introduced her to his friends and family and little by little, he didn't want to let her go. Even when he was deterred, she had gotten under his skin and he couldn't let go. Noah is a genuinely nice guy and he had been burned by live in the past so he had a little bit of a hard time coming to terms with the fact that Violet could actually like him for who he was without worrying about what he did for a living.
I loved the friendships in this story. Both those new to Violet and her BFF, not to mention Noah's friends and family. This story was very enjoyable and I look forward to reading more from Gina Gordon. And I'm curious to know Harper's story though! Be sure to add this book to your TBR!

The deeply sensual Body & Soul series kicks off with “a fun, sexy emotional read” (Lisa Renee Jones), as one woman discovers the courage to face life’s greatest challenges—and explore her connection with a handsome neighbor.
Violet Walker has been hiding. Withdrawn after a terrible car accident, she is worried about going back to her high-pressure job, where she’s expected to project confidence and sleek refinement. Allowing herself a distraction, she’s been watching her sexy neighbor work on his house. But when the shirtless, grinning hunk catches her in the act, Violet is struck by the unmistakable jolt of physical chemistry, a sensation that’s both thrilling and terrifying.
Noah Young is used to moving from one construction job to another, never laying a firm foundation. The same goes for the women in his life—until Violet changes all that. His beautiful voyeur embraces his rough edges and shows him a hint of real love. But even Noah can tell that she’s holding back, hiding her body and her heart from what they both truly want. If only he could get a little help convincing Violet to see herself as he sees her: perfect in every way.
