Sunsets (Glenbrooke, Book 4)

Alissa has had some bad experiences with men, so she’s not looking to start a relationship with anyone. Particularly not her obnoxious new neighbor Brad. However, as she works through her own issues, and as she and Brad keep getting thrown together, she can’t escape the fact that she’s attracted to him. Does he feel the same?

As I’ve mentioned in other reviews, the enemies-to-lovers trope doesn’t always work for me, but in this case there’s enough going on that it doesn’t bother me much. Brad’s kind of a jerk, to be honest, but not enough of one to make me root against him and Alissa ending up together. Recommended if you’re already a fan of this author or this series, but I probably wouldn’t say this was a great show more starting point. Fans of Gunn’s teen books may remember Alissa from the Christy Miller series. show less

Christy Miller fans will remember Alissa from that series. We catch up with her a few years later. She's been through a lot and has isolated herself and is living a lonely life as a travel agent. When she moves into a new duplex she finds herself surrounded by new friends and connecting more with God than she has in years. Her neighbor Brad is abrasive and gets under her skin even when she tries to ignore him. I loved the side plot about Rosie and Chet, two high school sweethearts who reconnect in their old age.
