I was hers, but she was never mine.
Alice Yates is the hired “homemaker” for the Morrisons, an affluent couple in Minneapolis. For Alice, it’s a dream job to dress up like a 1950s housewife and read romance novels to Mr. Morrison before his afternoon nap.
But when the Morrisons’ only daughter returns home for the summer with her fiancé, Alice comes face- to-face with her shattered past—the only threat to her perfect life.
Eight years earlier, vacation rental owner Murphy Paddon had an impeccable vinyl record collection and did the most irresistible thing before kissing Alice, earning him a five-star rating. Their fortnight love affair was life-altering and ended tragically.
Murphy doesn’t know if Alice remembers him or whether he should tell his fiancée that the hired-help living in the guesthouse is the woman who irreparably broke his heart. He needs closure, but will the lingering glances and silent yearning lead to the end or just the beginning?

Do you know that exact moment when you breathe a big sigh and feel emotional? You can't exactly pinpoint everything but you know. You know that you've just experienced something beyond comforting and like having a warm blanket and your favorite hot chocolate, you’re at peace. You’re treasuring the familiarity and you're closing your eyes a little bit longer because you want nothing more than to stay in the moment. I felt this deeply and even though I read the final sentence that put a huge smile on my face, I would give anything to go back for a little while and just say “Hi”.
Imagine getting an out of this world dream job that not only pays well, but some might call it pearl clutching. For Alice, it's the best thing that has happened to her in a long time and she's determined to excel at it. Being a Homemaker for a wealthy couple is not only rewarding, but it makes her find a sense of purpose and stability. But Alice is about to have her safety rocked when she comes face to face with the man who changed everything for her eight years ago.
They say time heals all wounds but Murphy, that’s the biggest lie he's ever heard. Time makes it harder because you're constantly in the state of “What Ifs” and moving on is a hard choice. Deciding to stay with his fiancé ‘s family for the summer, Murphy never expected to see the one person that derailed his life all those years ago. One look and he's staring at his past and the “What Ifs” all over again. Will he survive hurricane Alice again?
I've said this time and time again but I honestly have no clue what this author sprinkles in her books!!! And don't even get me started on the angst! I'm genuinely scared to check my blood pressure right now! These characters will take you to every possible place you can imagine and you will not be the same person. After leaving Angerville, I went to Ecstasylane but had to take a quick detour to heartbreak land, only to end up in wrong timing ville and run out of gas. This ultimately stressed me the hell out but would I do this all over again just to get to that ending?
I cannot wait to see what the next book is going to be about along with the main characters. Ms. Jewel barely left a crumb trail for us to follow but if my instincts are right, then we're in for a one heck of a ride for book 2! If you're looking for a sweet second chance romance, this book is NOT for you. You want your heart ripped out and speed dialing your therapist?? Let me introduce you to this emotional torture of it hurts but it feels so good “The Homemaker”. You’re welcome.
