It's been about a year and a half since we last visited a certain neighborhood in Nashville, but now, we're right back there, and Nikki Sloane has delivered a romance guaranteed to fog up your reading glasses with all the dirty and delicious things the main characters get into. The Broker's titular character is a man named Noah Robinson, a thirty-six-year-old former stockbroker making the move from Manhattan, New York to Nashville, Tennessee for his new job as the new vice president of booking for Warbler Entertainment. He has no time for commitment, preferring the convenience of casual sex, and he isn't shy about sharing either. When he meets an aspiring social media influencer named Charlotte, they have one heck of a hot hook-up. He has no idea, however, that she's actually Charlotte Owens, the twenty-three-year-old daughter of his boss. To make things more complicated, she's been tasked by her father to be Warbler's new cleaner, and the man has just volunteered her services to Noah and his newly purchased home in Nashville. Noah knows he should stay away, but he can't resist Charlotte's siren call.

Nashville Neighborhood is one of those highly addictive book series that you can never get enough of. So, imagine my utter delight when I learned that Nikki Sloane had a new book to add to it! Noah and Charlotte have a thirteen-year age gap, he works for her father, and Charlotte also works for Noah as well. Talk about complicated, but there was just something about these two that made you want to see them go from lust to love. Noah not wanting to have anything to do with love and preferring to be a single swinger was going to be yet another hurdle for the two main characters, and I was definitely curious to find out if and how that would affect their relationship over the later chapters in the book. I do think, however, that Charlotte's dad wasn't any sort of villain in the story. I understood where he was coming from, and I'd rather have a parent who cared about his child without coddling them than one who couldn't be bothered to care at all. All in all, I enjoyed this return to the far from boring neighborhood in Nashville, and I wouldn't mind coming back again sometime in the future. The Broker receives five stars.
