About this ebook

Rachel Bradford is finally living her dream as the star of her own interior design show. But ratings are slipping, and if she wants to save the show, she has to set an episode in the hometown she fled. Worst of all, she’s going to have to work with the cocky bad boy who humiliated her.

Single dad Beckett Colburn plans to turn an old fire station into a neighborhood bar. He’s blindsided when he discovers his family made a deal to turn his dream into a reality TV project. He’d rather run into a burning building than work with his childhood nemesis--on camera.

But it’s not easy with a TV crew in town stirring up trouble, spreading rumors, creating buzz. Not to mention the inconvenient sudden attraction that sparks every time Rachel and Beckett fight.

Each book in the Men of Lakeside series is STANDALONE:
* The July Guy
* The Standby Guy
* The Goodbye Guy

Natasha Moore is a new author to me and after reading The Goodbye Guy I’m left wondering why she hasn’t crossed my radar before now because I loved everything about this book, it certainly ticked all my boxes and I’m sure it will tick all romance lovers boxes. Rachel Bradford and Beckett Colburn have a history and it’s one neither want to repeat but when Rachel is forced by her producer to go back to her hometown to film a make or break episode of her reality show she is left with no choice but to put in a brave face for the man who will be her co star. Beckett has made some mistakes in his life and humiliating Rachel was one of them but the one thing in his life he will never regret his his adorable daughter Holly who is the biggest fan of Rachel Bradford so he swallows his pride and jumps in feet first. Small towns hold lots of memories some good some bad but it’s now time for Beckett to apologise for something he did 20 years ago and that’s going to be hard to do when the girl is holding a grudge. Families from different sides of the track also add to the drama of this entertaining read, the chemistry is sizzling, the banter witty and Holly has some classic one liners only a ten year old could deliver so all that’s left for me to say is please one click this fun, entertaining gem of a read.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley and I am voluntarily reviewing it. This was a very enjoyable story. There were no dramatic plot twist or suspense here just some good everyday drama that everyday people would normally go through. It was very pleasant. The story seemed more natural like I was reading about friends. Rachel escaped Lakeview after high school and now has her own reality TV show Rachel's Touch. She renovates residential places but yearns for bigger projects like commercial. Her producer comes up with the idea to renovate a project in her hometown. It is a bar; a commercial area that can expand on her talent. She doesn't want to go back as she may run into Beckett. The boy that tormented her in high school. The place she hasn't been to in over 20 years. Then the bombshell, the show is in decline and may be cancelled. Then she learns the bar that she will be renovating belongs to her nemesis, Beckett Colburn! She is now dreading the project. We get to know Beck(ett) Colburn and Rachel Bradford with their history in high school antics. The rich girl and the junkman's son. Beck is a single father to almost double digit Holly. Holly is a precious young girl that loves watching Rachel's show. Holly's mother died during childbirth and she forms an immediate attachment to her hero. Beck is worried about his heart and also Holly's heart as his know Rachel won't stay in Lakeside. She will leave after the filming of the renovation. Reading about these two characters and the turmoil that they go through was enchanting. I couldn't wait to see how the author would bring them together. I loved the dual POV format that the book was written in. Getting that glimpse of their thoughts helped me to understand them so much better. These two really seemed more human than characters. The scenes flowed so well that it was like watching a movie or a home improvement reality show. This is a sexy read so I can only recommend this to someone over the age of 18. While this is the third of the series, It can be read as a stand alone.

4 Star review of The Goodbye Guy by Natasha Moore Natasha Moore is a new author to me and I have no idea why I have not come across her books before. This was an enjoyable read that had me invested from the first to the last chapter. I have been gravitating to single parent and small town stories more and more in the last twelve months and The Goodbye Guy ticked quite a few boxes for me. This is Rachel Bradford and Beckett Colburn’s story, they have history and not in a good way. When Rachel returns to her home town to film for her interior design show she is not happy to learn that her co star will be the man who once humiliated her. I liked the complications that arose between Rachel and Beckett as they filmed. The sparks flew and the chemistry between them crackled . The more time they spend with each other, the more they realize that they are not the same people they once were. I enjoyed Ms. Moore’s style of writing, I found this book to be well written, sweet and romantic .
