My review:

Serena & Ziggy
Serena has lost her job at Diana’s (a tea room), and her apartment in quick succession when her boss/friend, Diana, passes away. It just so happens that her friend, Taylor, is looking for someone to house sit for a few weeks. Perfect!…or not, since Taylor’s husband, Tim, has asked his mate, Ziggy, to house sit too.

They agree they can make it work and live together, but right off the bat they don’t get along so well and begin to frustrate each other. When a prank goes too far they put their differences aside and work together to fix their mistake. Eventually their hate for each other grows into more.

I wish we had more time with Diana. She seemed like a great person that her two selfish money grubbing children neglected and didn’t deserve. No wonder she left her pride and joy business, Dirty Di’s, to Serena. I would have liked more emphasis on the business part of the story.

The whole cheating plot went on a bit longer than I would have liked. Speaking up would’ve been a lot easier than what Serena did to get him caught.

Side character Al was great and I love that he found a love interest ~ I wouldn’t mind a book about him, but only if he wears his plastic thong.

Overall, a quick and easy read.

Book blurb:

Two reluctant housemates. One question: Is this your place or mine…?

When Serena is kicked out of her flat, an offer from her friend, Taylor, to house sit for her while she and her husband go travelling could not be better timing. But unfortunately for Serena she’s not the only one to have received this offer…

Enter Ziggy: arrogant, messy (and annoyingly handsome) musician, and friend of Taylor’s husband. Living with him is far from ideal, especially when he claims the best room, has loud parties – and the least said about his kitchen manner the better…

There’s just one solution for Serena – drive him out of the house by being twice as difficult to live with than he is! But Ziggy knows Serena’s game and as war ensues between them, being forced together under one roof may result in some unexpected consequences…
