HOUSEBROKE by bestselling author Jaci Burton is a new standalone and super sweet romance set in Orlando, Florida. Broke and homeless after her thieving ex-husband stole all their money, Hazel is crashing at a friend's for-sale house with her five rescue dogs trying to get her life together.
Instead of running his investment company, millionaire Linc spends his time doing what he loves - traveling the country and flipping houses. He strikes a bargain that allows Hazel and her pups to stay in the house in exchange for cooking his meals.
As they spend time together, Linc falls for the dogs and the girl with dreams of running her own animal rescue. He keeps his wealth secret because he has been burned by greedy women in the past.
HOUSEBROKE reads exactly like a Hallmark movie including a supportive family for Linc, lots of cute rescue dogs, and a judgmental sister and mother for Hazel. I found HOUSEBROKE to be pleasantly predictable with stereotypical characters.
A millionaire and a woman who thinks he's a house flipper are stuck living in a house together with a menagerie of rescue dogs as roommates, in this heartfelt romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Jaci Burton.
After her ex took all their money and bailed, Hazel Bristow is left broke and homeless. A kind friend whose home is on the market lets Hazel and her foster dogs stay there until it sells. It’s the perfect setup, until her friend forgets to tell Hazel she’s sold the house.
Linc Kennedy is shocked to find Hazel and her pups squatting in the house he just bought, but after some negotiating—she offers to cook amazing meals for him in return for a paycheck—he agrees to let her remain while he’s renovating the place. Linc tells Hazel he’s an investor who renovates homes for fun—he just leaves out the part about being wealthy.
Hazel’s intrigued by Linc. He’s funny, sweet, ridiculously hot, and loves dogs almost as much as she does. But her track record with men? Not great. She worries her trust meter isn’t in working order.
Linc’s never met anyone like the quirky beauty who puts everyone’s needs—human and canine—before her own. He didn’t tell her about his wealth because he’s been burned by women who only wanted him for his money. But with Hazel, he’s never felt more like himself. Now he has to figure out how to tell her the truth without losing her. Because Linc realizes what he feels for her isn't puppy love—it's true love.
