Title: No Vacancy
Author: Stephanie Rose
Release Date: October 28, 2019
Can a summer fling become the love of a lifetime?
Perpetual good girl Caterina Longo is dependable to a fault. At 33, she’s never called in sick. Never had a one-night stand. Never taken a chance in her entire life. When she walks in on a cheating ex and sees everything wrong with her life, she takes off on a solo vacation, busting out of her comfort zone and into the arms of a guy she never saw coming.
Joe Hunter has no room for distractions. Making his restaurant a success and proving his worth to his family—and himself—is his sole focus. At least it is until a beautiful stranger, in search of fried food and a shoulder, wanders in one night.
Is two weeks of unexpected, life-altering passion all they’re meant to share? What happens when vacation ends and real life takes over?

Oh my lord!!!! No Vacancy is such a heartwarming and gorgeous romance that made me feel so good and full of warmth and love for these characters. It’s low on angst and so goddamn romantic. I couldn’t ask for more. The steam is off the charts thanks to Joe and his filthy mouth. He’s such a good man and it was amazing to see him with his parents, Samantha and Lucas who has their own book Always You, and with his brother in law Owen, from Finding Me. No Vacancy can easily be read as a standalone but for me who’s read the other books it was a special treat.
The Second Chances series is all about the family bond and friendships and here it was good to see the Hunter family supporting Joe when his relationship with Catarina got rocky.
Catarina and Joe hook up on the same night they first met. I was a little nervous about this premise. My first thought was they moved too fast and it’s too insta lust. Thankfully the author lets these two characters flourish. Their friendship evolve organically and grow into something deeper and stronger. Their courtship is a wonderful dance filled with conversations and romantic dates. They share an incredible and delicious chemistry wishing I could take Catarina’s place instead ;)
The relationship has profound effect on both of them resulting in them reevaluating their life and what they want for the future. Both Catarina and Joe have some great friends especially Joe’s colleague Dominic gives him a nudge when it’s needed. I’m so excited to know that he will get a book.
No Vacancy is all romance and no drama. My needs and wishes was definitely fulfilled.
