About this ebook

"Kylie Scott’s unique voice and engrossing story are perfect for fans of Sarah Hogle and Tessa Bailey"—Library Journal

New York Times bestselling sensation Kylie Scott’s sexy, smart and unconventional opposites-attract love story looks at what happens when fate refuses to give up on what’s meant to be…

When Susie Bowen inherits a charming fixer-upper from her aunt, she’s excited to start living her best HGTV life. But when she opens the door to find that her contractor is none other than her ex’s best friend, Lars—the same man who witnessed their humiliating public breakup six months ago—she isn’t exactly eager to have anyone around whose alliance is with the enemy. But beggars can’t be choosers, and the sooner the repairs are done, the sooner she can get back to embracing singledom.

Things go from awkward to unbelievable when Lars discovers a divorce certificate hidden in a wall and dated ten years in the future—with both their names on it. It couldn’t possibly be real…could it? As Susie and Lars work to unravel the document’s origins, the impossibility of a spark between them suddenly doesn’t seem so far-fetched. But would a relationship between them be doomed before it’s even begun?

“Sweet and spicy—the unique setup, top-notch banter and charming enigma had me hooked.” —Anna E. Collins, author of Love at First Spite

Ratings and reviews

4 stars — I was a little worried about the woo woo aspect of the story, but for me it was just a plot device, and remained a solid contemporary romance. And while this story was light in some aspects, I really appreciated how it brought about these conversations about what makes a relationship long lasting…there were some great gems in here. I wasn’t sure what I was going to get with Susie, and honestly she kind of surprised me. She was this sort of awkward, forthright, sassy heroine, with a

End of Story is a charming enemies-to-lovers romance with a mystical, paranormal twist. The last person Susie wants to work with to restore her aunt's crumbling home is Lars -- the best friend of her ex, who had cheated on her. Things get even more awkward between Lars and Susie when they find an old divorce decree hidden in a wall of the house -- THEIR divorce decree, dated in the future! Suspend belief and enjoy the romance because it's entertaining!

Susie has inherited her beloved aunt's house. After hiring a local construction company for renovations, the last person she wanted to show up does. Lars is the best friend of Susie's ex. An ex who broke her heart, an ex who's a big jerk. While tearing out a wall they run across a divorce certificate that puts them on a path to unravel the origins. I loved the evolution of their relationship. For Susie, Lars is the enemy. We get some fun banter, but Lars is just a really good guy and soon they develop a friendship that is both cute and sweet Susie is a quirky and likable. Lars stole the show, he's genuine, caring, protective, and gives the alpha growls I love. An element of magical realism leads to a bit of mystery. I was wrapped up in the mystery of the certificate which leads to some witty conversation about the "end of their relationship". This was a fun, lighthearted romance; opposites attract, grumpy sunshine, friends to lovers, and close proximity.
