Sadie is a hard worker and she’s great at her job. She can’t wait to get promoted so she can finally stop worrying about money and pay off some of her student loans. But when she gets passed up for the promotion, and things go spectacularly awry, she starts to realize how much she’s sacrificed for this job. She needs to find a new place to live, she needs a drink, and she needs a hookup, badly.
A wild night out with her best friends sends her to a dating app, and she sets up a date in her drunken haze. But it turns out she used a roommate-matching app instead, and meets Jack, who happens to own a gorgeous brownstone in Brooklyn that he's looking to find a roommate for. It would be the dream place to live. Despite her behavior at their initial meeting, Jack decides to let Sadie move in, even though he clearly isn’t prepared for her energy, sarcasm, and innuendo.
The amazing living space and the incredibly low rent inspire Sadie to finally pursue her dream of starting a sustainable florist business. Jack is tremendously supportive and generous, and although his quiet, mostly antisocial nature is the complete opposite of Sadie’s, they start to click, and she weaves him into her group of friends.
But Jack is still grieving the death of his parents and is nursing another secret, and Sadie’s toxic, verbally abusive childhood causes her to doubt herself, her friendships, and her ability to sustain a business. Can two people with so much emotional baggage ever have a chance at a relationship? Or will their increasingly intense chemistry blow up everything—their living arrangements, their friendship, and Sadie’s business?
Several Bookstagram friends raved about Lease on Love, so I had to give it a try. It was seriously fantastic—funny, emotional, sexy, and inspiring. Sadie is a wild, larger-than-life character but her emotional issues balance her out, and the chemistry between her and Jack was steamy. I was fully invested in this one from the start!!
