Please check out of my reviews at bookaddicthavenIt s been quite some time since I read Stepbrother Dearest , which I think was probably for the best in hindsight At first, the multiple references to Elec and Greta had me thinking that I would need to reread that book prior to reading, or rather listening to, this one As much as I loved Stepbrother Dearest , I was glad to find that Neighbor Dearest read easily as a standalone If you re like me, you vaguely remember the nice girlfriend that Elec [...]

This book is smack dab in the middle of the scale for me I didn t hate it but I didn t love it either It was okay If you re a long time Penelope Ward fan, the plot is a familiar one heroine falls for the hero but hero is reluctant to commit because of a big secret The familiarity isn t a knock on Ms Ward talent as a writer because for one, she does this type of story really well And two, Ms Ward definitely knows how keep her readers invested in the story My issue is that Neighbor Dearest kind of [...]

Love thy neighbor.First off it s bloody hard for an Aussie typing neighbour without the u so don t be surprised if a few neighbour s pop up here or there So what did I think about Neighbor Dearest I actually really enjoyed it There are lots of things buzzing around in my brain after finishing and I m struggling to get it all clear in my head I have to say, I m absolutely stoked that I never read Stepbrother Dearest That sounds bad, but I know the type of reader I am and there s a bloody good cha [...]

4 4.5 s When I first heard about this book, I had a mini heart attack thinking this was about Greta and that her and Elec had broken up Thank goodness it s about Chelsea, Elec s ex girlfriend To be honest, I never gave Chelsea much thought I wanted Elec and Greta together and that s it After getting to know Chelsea and her feelings about everything, I feel bad could you not As the title suggests, Damien is indeed Chelsea s neighbor and when they first meet, sparks do not fly Damien becomes known [...]

That was a very sweet romance with low angst There was a little bit of a drama but it was not a making you ugly cry kind of drama It was solved in a good way This novel was sweet, it was hot, it was fun and it was definitely heart warming.It is about a couple who are apparently attracted to each other but the guy resists to be anything further than friends, saying he is no good for her in the long term So, you wonder what his reason for staying away from her is and when you learn, you understand [...]

Loved the first 60% but then we entered a cheese factory I m not a mushy person and this level of cheesiness had me rolling my eyes a lot, but having said that, I still enjoyed it a lot than I expected to.
