Over The Fence
by Melanie Moreland
Date of Publication: August 4, 2015
Synopsis
There are so many ways to fall in love in today’s world. Besides the usual bars and blind dates, you can meet someone from any part of the world via the computer. The scope is endless. Possibilities abound, if that’s what you want.
But what happens when you aren’t searching for love, and it shows up—way closer than you ever expected?
But is that the only thing they share?
Nathan Fraser lives a solitary life, never letting anyone get too close. It’s safer that way.
Kourtney Whyte hides from the world and behind her work, too afraid to really live her life to the fullest. Rejection is what she knows best.
But one night, the sound of her soft voice and the tantalizing aroma of her evening meal, prove too enticing for Nathan to ignore.
So begins their unconventional relationship—talking, learning, texting, and gradually opening up to one another, all over the fence.
That is, until the day Nathan braves the high fence to protect Kourtney from her past, and changes everything forever.
Can they move forward together, without the buffer of the fence?
Or will their pasts prove to be too much of a barrier? 
My review: This was a very enjoyable read. There is a lot of humor wrapped around the love story, and there is just enough angst in the two main characters to make them realistic. Not only do Kourtney and Nathan have emotional walls up, but there is an actual eight-foot fence between them.
The two characters build their relationship slowly and tentatively. They get to know each other a little better day by day, taking three steps forward and two steps back. It is obvious from very early on that Kourtney is hiding something, or hiding FROM something. It is also obvious that, without knowing it, Nathan's compliments and affection are just what she needs to help her come out of hiding.
They have their ups and downs, like any couple, and I found myself rooting for them to make it. I especially enjoyed the epilog, where we get to see a glimpse of their future.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.
Rating: Four stars

About the Author
Melanie Moreland lives a happy and content life in a quiet area of Ontario with her husband and four children. Nothing means more to her than her friends and family, and she cherishes every moment spent with them. Known as the quiet one with the big laugh, Melanie works for the sporting teams of a local university. Her (box) office job, while demanding, is rewarding as she cheers on her team to victory. While seriously addicted to coffee, and somewhat challenged with all things computer-related and technical, she relishes baking, cooking, and trying new recipes for people to sample. She loves to throw dinner parties and socialize, and also enjoys traveling, here and abroad, but finds coming home is always the best part of any trip. Melanie delights in writing a good romance story with some bumps along the way, but is a true believer in happily ever after. When her head isn’t buried in a book, it is bent over a keyboard, furiously typing away as her characters dictate their creative story lines to her even more inspired tales, for all to enjoy.
