Did you ever hear the joke about the guy whose wife cheated on him with his best friend? So he quit his job, moved into his parents’ basement, and gained fifty pounds?
No? Because that wasn’t a joke. It was my life.
Four years later, I'm back with a dream job, a killer apartment, and a set of abs that are better than ever.
So, when Maggie Light, a stunning, snarky blonde moves in next door, and we spend the hottest weekend of our lives together, I think this could be the greatest comeback story ever.
That is until I realize Maggie has moved to town to do one thing—steal my job.
Maybe this isn't a comeback story after all. Maybe this is war—one I intend to win.
What I never anticipated was that maybe I’d rather win her.
Perhaps, if I’m lucky, the universe has finally run out of jokes and I can somehow win both.
You guys, When the Walls Come Down and it is such a sweet read! The swoon, the tender melt-your-heart feels, the quirky, utterly adorable characters, and the charming romance, is all soooooo good. Shane and Maggie have the best banter! This is definitely a feel-good-read from start to finish! Super enjoyable, easy and light. Full review below!

Angie’s Review
Who knew two angst queens like Aly Martinez and M. Mabie could come together and write this? I mean, Aly typically destroys you with her MAJORLY angsty reads and M. Mabie is most definitely a deliverer of kick-you-in-the-gut feels (remember Bait? HOLY SHIT. Still not over that book). So I was not sure what to expect going into When the Walls Come Down but what I got was nothing short of delightful!
This book is so easy, so charming and light and fun and sexy. There are no heavy feels. Just tons of quick witted banter, tender moments, adorably quirky characters, and a sweeter than apple pie romance. It hit all the spots, was exactly what I wanted to read, and I just LOVED every dreamy word.
Shane and Maggie are adorable together. The way they hit it off, and the chemistry between them, was just delicious! I loved watching these two get to know each other, seeing them grow, feeling that natural dynamic they had. I rooted for them big time.
This is an office romance (they both end up vying for the same job) and it’s also a neighbors romance (they live next door to each other) and it is just too cute for words. If you’re looking for a one-sitting read! Something with tons of laughs and swoons, a dozen of dreamy sighs and all the sweetness, this is definitely a book for you. I couldn’t put it down, and I am so here for more from this duo! They write beautifully together. I honestly had no idea who wrote what! So so so good. I just adored it.
