I have been waiting for Tucker’s story, and Dream Home by Jenn McMahon did not disappoint. Scottie and Tucker’s journey begins with a one-night stand that ends with Tucker slipping out early, so you can imagine Scottie’s surprise when she discovers he is the lead contractor on the renovation show she’s starring in. To make matters even more interesting, the producers push them into a fake dating storyline that, before long, starts to feel anything but fake.
Book Description
When Scottie lands a reality TV renovation deal centered around her late grandmother’s abandoned house in Bluestone Lakes, it feels like the opportunity of a lifetime. A real show. A real renovation. A real chance to prove she’s enough.
There’s just one problem.
The head contractor for the show is Tucker Daniels—the reckless one-night stand she had the night before her big audition. The same man who slipped out before she woke up.
Tucker hides behind easy smiles and sarcastic one-liners, but beneath the humor is a man who doesn’t let anyone close, especially not someone who sees straight through the cracks he works so hard to hide.
When the producers decide the show needs a little extra chemistry, Scottie and Tucker are forced to fake date for the cameras. But as demolition begins, the line between staged romance and something real starts to blur. The more they tear into the house, the more they find long-buried secrets and emotions neither of them are ready to face.
But when sparks fly, nothing stays the same.
And sometimes the past has to burn to ashes before you can finally build your Dream Home.

When Jenn is not writing, she can be found reading, watching reruns of her favorite TV shows (Scandal, Grey’s Anatomy and Friends – just to name a few), or petting her dogs. She also loves taking trips to the beach with the kids, city date nights with her husband, and thunderstorms in the spring.
My Thoughts
I have been waiting for Tucker’s story, and Dream Home by Jenn McMahon did not disappoint. Scottie and Tucker’s journey begins with a one-night stand that ends with Tucker slipping out early, so you can imagine Scottie’s surprise when she discovers he is the lead contractor on the renovation show she’s starring in. To make matters even more interesting, the producers push them into a fake dating storyline that, before long, starts to feel anything but fake.
The chemistry between them is the absolute standout. Scottie is a DIY influencer who appears confident on camera while transforming forgotten spaces, yet off-camera, she is still trying to prove her worth to her mother. Her sharp, sassy edge plays perfectly off Tucker’s calm, steady energy. Even though he hides behind sarcastic one-liners, he takes her attitude in stride and consistently shows up for her when her confidence wavers. Watching him support her while quietly ensuring her project succeeds was genuinely heartwarming.
As demolition begins on her grandmother’s abandoned house in Bluestone Lakes, the line between their staged romance and reality begins to blur. I loved their dynamic—the banter, the tension, and the gradual softening as they uncover long-buried secrets. They just work, and I would happily watch an entire show built around these two.
The audiobook narration by Kelsey Navarro-Foster and Aaron Shedlock was freaking fantastic and truly elevated the experience. Kelsey perfectly captures Scottie’s blend of confidence and vulnerability, while Aaron brings a grounded warmth to Tucker. I devoured this story and literally couldn't put it down. I loved every second of it; it is absolutely a must-listen!
