About this audiobook
A little domestic bliss never hurt anyone…right?
Charlie Dee is headed for burnout. They’ve been burned before, both by their bio family and the now-defunct queer collective they once called home. So when they’re asked to take a work trip outside the city, they jump at the chance. Sure, it’s additional work with no additional pay, but it’s also an excuse to get out of town—and out of their own head.
That dream is shattered when Charlie opens the door to their supposedly private rental. There’s a bird on the loose, circling the living room as it’s chased by a cat, who is chased by a small child. The girl’s parents, Hayden and Buffy, only manage to add to the chaos. They promise to leave first thing in the morning, but when a massive snowstorm rolls in, this overnight trip becomes a weeklong affair.
Reluctantly charmed by this unfiltered—if forced—look at a loving, healthy family, Charlie begins to develop feelings for both Hayden and Buffy. And they both seem to be flirting back. But when a potential promotion lures Charlie back to the city, all three will have to decide where they go from here—and what it means to truly feel at home.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The start was really slow to me and then end felt really rushed. The last handful of chapters were really great and I wanted more!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A cute love story with all the cheesy tropes that we love. Harwood-Jones wrote a fun and easy read that goes beyond the normal forgettable romances we are used to. Representation matters and hearing a story about people who live differently than us is a key ingredient in becoming whole-hearted people.
