He was in fine form until life—and love—threw him for a loop...
Declan Doyle is ready for a change. He’s finally going to put his couch-surfing, job-hopping, responsibility-free days behind him. So, when his best friend’s sister offers room and board in exchange for home repairs, he jumps at the opportunity. Falling for her wasn’t part of his plan. But that’s exactly what he does...
As a divorced single mom with a dilapidated house, Renee Griggs has more responsibility than she can handle. So, even though Declan has always been more charming than reliable, she needs his help. She does not, however, need to fall into bed with him. Or so she keeps telling herself...
One fake wedding date (with only one bed), a ton of chemistry, and a surprisingly intense emotional connection later, Declan’s ready for happily ever after. But can he prove to Renee that he’s a risk worth taking?
There’s only one way to find out...
In Fine Form, book 2 in The Doyle Family series, is a spicy, opposites attract, older woman/younger man, brother’s best friend contemporary romance that can be read as a standalone. Join the Doyles in the Chicago neighborhood full of big, Irish families and happily ever afters.

REVIEW
4 Stars
This is the second book in the Doyle Family series. This book had me at single mom. I so loved Declan and Renee, but what stole the show for me was Declan and Renee's little girl Sadie. They were so cute together. It just melted my heart. Declan is more than what his family thinks they see even more than what his best friend sees. Renee has that image in her head, but when he becomes her new roommate she sees the Declan beneath the surface. Both Declan and Renee are sort of a crossroads on the future of their careers. Plus we get a little bit more on the mystery surrounding Declan's dad. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

4 Stars
This is the first book in the Doyle family series. I was intrigued by this Irish family and mystery surrounding Ronan's dad. Ronan is back in town and he wants the answers of what happened to his dad. He also has the temptation of Chloe. She is nothing like the girl he remembers from the neighborhood. Chloe is grown up and finally living life her way. That includes flirting with yummy brooding Ronan. After reading this I'm even more intrigued going in. I can't wait to read the next book because now I'm invested like Doyle family.
AUTHOR BIO
Shannyn Schroeder is the author of The O’Leary Family series, The O’Malley Family series, and The Doyle Family series, contemporary romances centered around large Irish-American families in Chicago. The Hot & Nerdy series is about nerdy college friends finding love. And her Daring Divorcees series follows a group of middle-aged divorcees getting back into the dating scene.
Under the pen name Sloane Steele, the Counterfeit Capers series released in 2021. This Leverage-inspired heist romance series follows a group of criminals who come together as a team to right some wrongs. They accomplish this by stealing art from criminals worse than them and replacing it with forgeries.
Shannyn grew up in a Northside Chicago neighborhood filled with big Irish families like the ones she writes about. Her characters get drunk, say f*ck, and eat a ton of pizza as they try to navigate life and love. Whether it’s a big family of siblings unable to mind their own business or a group of friends who are thicker than thieves or a crew of criminals learning how to work together as a team, readers can relate to her characters and cheer for them.
When this editor and former English teacher isn’t wrangling her three almost-grown kids or drawing from her own Irish heritage for writing, she watches a ton of TV and loves to bake cookies.
