We are heading back to the Big Boned Bertha House and its group of roommates. This time it is Seven's turn. He is a witty, honest, grumpy, tatted, pierced, tattoo artist with specific tastes.  He is a loyal but damaged man who figures he will never find anyone to date him due to his circumstances and issues. He has a very close attachment to his foster brother and roommate and they are a package deal. 

Molly has left his unsatisfactory life behind and moved to Seattle. He is taking Gabe's old room due to his friend Madden's recommendation. He has been unlucky in love and often comes on too strong and scares them off.  He is pure goodness and sunshine in a small package, but has his own scars. He struggles with feelings of being thrown away or too much, and has a strong fear of rejection.

Molly helps Seven out of a situation, so Seven offers to help him. Free dating advice best learned by practicing on fake dates so he can point out Molly's issues. But they find themselves enjoying each other's company and their dates are fun. They get a bit reckless with breaking the house rules. And there may be a bit of matchmaking mischief happening too. 

Their connection seems to keep getting stronger. They are both such sweet, beautiful souls, but they present themselves differently and also both have issues from their pasts and at times feel unworthy. But they can see how special the other is and truly want the other to believe in himself. Both have a fear of rejection and tend to prepare for the worst so they feel they need to protect themselves and protect the other one as well. So they tend to get in their own way. 

It is a sweet, witty, emotional, passionate, roommates, dating lessons, opposites-attract, grumpy-sunshine, hurt-comfort, new-friends-to-lovers romance about trust, safety, vulnerability, and being brave enough to take a chance and fight for love.  

This brings back all of the quirky roommates and found family. I honestly adored Xander so much and his situation is so hard. But I loved how Seven took care of him but also treated him with such care and respect. I hope he gets his own story soon.  The other roomies and Elle are also fun. And I am still looking forward to Molly's dad, Keller, and best friend Will's book, System Overload in the Divorced Men's Club series.
