The Problem #3
The Problem with Dating
Is dating really all that difficult?
Gideon Hayes definitely thinks so. At thirty-five, Gideon was a contract engineer, and looking at him, you think the man wouldn’t have any problem getting dates. I mean, just look at him. Seriously.
Single, gorgeous, and too busy to put in the effort, his mother is more than happy to set him up with ‘nice’ girls. However, Gideon doesn’t need his mother’s help getting awful dates. He can do that on his own.
Is dating really all that difficult?
Echo Woodward doesn’t think so. Even with a failed marriage under her belt, she’s not a man-hater. She’s a high school math teacher and new homeowner, and looking at her, you’d think her life was perfect.
But with a new job, a new home, and a new lease on life, Echo doesn’t have time to deal with her new jerk of a neighbor, no matter how hot he is. No. Matter. How. Hot. He. Is.
When Gideon mistakes a business meeting for another set-up by his meddling mother, he’s beyond rude to Echo, and she’s beyond pissed by his rudeness. And when he finds out she’s his new neighbor, well, that just adds to the disaster.
Between a piece of crap ex-husband, a meddling mother, two idiot brothers, and Echo’s own stubbornness and Gideon’s determination, being neighbors takes on a whole new meaning.
Together, they do their best to forget that first meeting and work on second chances. But even if it is a bad idea to get involved with your neighbor, what’s having to pick up and move again, if the sex is as explosive as both Gideon and Echo know it will be?

About the author
M.E. Clayton
160 books637 followersThere's not much to add to my bio, I'm pretty boring...LOL. My favorite thing is to read and, last year, I decided to trade in some of those reading hours and try my hand at writing. The experience has been one of the best things I could have ever embarked upon. It's turned into a hobby that is fun and thoroughly enjoyable. When I'm not reading or writing, I'm spending time with my family or friends.

“So, you’re not a victim?’
I had looked her in the eyes and replied, “If I was a victim, I wouldn’t be here”
This book was heavier than what I anticipated.
We start this book with Echo and her husband (soon too be ex, thank God) fighting and him hitting her.
The book doesn’t exhaustingly discuss her pain, her trauma and the demons Echo had to overcome to move past that situation.
The author graces through it, but it’s enough to understand that certain wounds will take a lot of love to completely heal.
“Trust is probably the most fragile thing out there, isn’t it? “While love can still exist, even after mistakes have been made, trust is gone the second it’s broken. Trust is the most delicate and powerful thing you can give a person,” she continued. “So, don’t be too hard on yourself if you’re not handing that out freely.”
Our heroine is so strong, independent and has such a wonderful heart.
I loved how she dealt with the situation and how she refused to let that define her or define her future!
“Look, Ms. Woodward, I’m not trying to be a dick-”
“Oh,” she rushed out. “So, then, it’s a gift? It just comes naturally?”
Gideon is a grouchy, alpha asshole that I love to death!
The guy is so domineering, imposing and pushing that you can’t help but to have a crush on him.
Yes he’s stupid, the things that come out of his mouth are completely out of place and he thinks he owns our heroine!
But Echo gives him even better than she gets. Their dynamic is wonderful and super funny.
Overall this was my favorite book from the series. A shame it’s over...

These books are really freaking cute
This family cracks me up! I don't even know who my favorite character is! They are all so dang lovable. Even the crazy Alpha males who love their women fiercely, without an ounce of shame for being EXTRA . Lol Seriously, I can't get enough.
