Too Hot to Handle

so I just read four Victoria Dahl books in a row lmao but I did just take a 12+ hour plane journey (thank god for ebooks am I right) and they are consistently pretty good and easy to read. this is another 3.5 I think

Merry is brought in to create a museum out of an old ghost town, but soon finds out her job is really just a placeholder as the trust fights a lawsuit with the family who owns the plot and all the money Merry should have to start the project. Living on her bestie's couch, Merry has always been the quirky, too cute girl who none of the boys chase, that is until she runs into her new neighbor Shane. Sparks fly, and Merry hires on Shane as a contractor, despite not having money to pay him. Shane takes the job because he has a secret of his own, he is the one suing the trust and the reason why Merry's project may never come to be. Tsk Tsk.

I was intrigued by the premise, but unfortunately found the chemistry between the two main characters a bit forced and too "insta-love." I was also annoyed with the big lie Shane was keeping from Merry and the fact no one else seemed to know his role.
