It's here! USA Today Bestselling Author J.L. Berg's READY OR NOT is out today and we couldn't be more excited! Liv and Jackson's story is not to be missed!
About READY OR NOT:
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. Since then, she’s worked and fought for everything she’s earned and
never looked back at the world or the family she left
behind.
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?

Excerpt:
When I finally stepped out of my car, a gasp escaped my
lungs as my eyes lowered to the flower beds separating our two houses.
“Who would do such a thing?” I whispered, looking down at
the decapitated and ravaged flowers.
The once beautiful display of multicolored perennials was
now a churned-up disaster of footprints and soil.
My heated gaze settled on the lights glowing within the
house. A shadow passed by an open window upstairs in what used to be Mrs.
Reid’s master bedroom.
I took one step forward, ready to march over, meet my new
neighbors, and give them a piece of my mind.
A strong gust of wind sent the curtain into a tailspin and
suddenly the shadow solidified, and I saw the finest bare back I’d seen in
years. It was tanned, broad, and so muscular that the defined muscles could be
seen from two floors down. Hard, lean arms reached out toward a box and grabbed
a T-shirt as I begged him to turn around—until my eyes found his ass.
Dear Lord.
My new neighbor was hot—or at least the back of him was.
Turn around, turn around, I silently begged.
The weather took that moment to remind me of its mighty
power and sent a strong gust of wind whipping through the two houses. The
curtain settled back in place, and I was once again left with shadows.
As the first raindrop fell, signaling the impending storm, I
looked down at the once perfect garden that I had painstakingly kept alive as a
tribute to my longtime friend and neighbor. It had been trampled on and was now
ruined, and I felt the rage boiling back up to the surface.
Hot or not, my new neighbor was a plant-trampling jerk, and
when I got home from work tomorrow, I’d make sure he knew it.
I’d also take a moment to see if that face of his matched
his perfect back and ass.
Shut up, Liv.
