Synopsis:
Born into wealth and privilege, free-spirited Liv Prescott left it all behind when she realized there was more to life than living off of trust funds and barely skating by.

Jackson Reid is starting over with a new job in a brand new city. A single father to his son Noah, he hopes the change will help strengthen the bond that has seemed to suffer since puberty reared its ugly head. What he hadn’t planned on was Liv—his exotic next-door neighbor who drives him insane with her wild, new age lifestyle, but still manages to leave him aching for more.As challenges arise and feelings intensify, will these neighbors be able to look past their differences and find a middle ground? When love comes knocking, will they be ready, or not?

Review:
I love The Ready Series by J.L. Berg and when I got the chance to review this book, I was so happy :) Well, it didn't disappoint. The story is definitely interesting and captivating and it is full with twists that will keep you guessing :)
I loved the beginning of the story when Jackson and Liv met and they were acting like kids around each other :D That was definitely a lot of fun with all the antics they pulled at each other :D But after that, when they finally started seeing eye to eye, it was definitely a great romantic story :) I enjoyed seeing how each of the characters changes little by little without even recognizing it so in the end Jackson and Liv just fit perfectly together.
Jackson is definitely a delicious, somewhat dominant male with an amazing tender and romantic side :) He is responsible, serious and a man with a lot of things to juggle at the same time: his son, his job and his personal life. I loved seeing him as a father and I was definitely able to feel how much he loves his son. On the other hand I was also able to see him as this deliciously attractive man who falls for his next door neighbor who is the exact opposite of himself.
Liv is a free spirit. She loves life and she is the exact opposite of Jackson. In a way she is like a modern hippy :D And that's what makes her so much fun and attractive for Jackson and his son :) On the other hand Liv is scared of love and a close relationship with a man. In a way both Jackson and Liv have scars from their pasts but together they manage to overcome every obstacle they come against.
In a few words the book is very good. If you enjoy romantic stories with a pinch of hot scenes, then you should definitely check out this story. Even though the book is part of a series it can be still read as a standalone, although you will definitely enjoy it more if you read the whole series :)
