The Game Plan (Neighbor From Hell 5)

Title:  The Game Plan (Neighbor From Hell 5)
Author:  R.L. Mathewson
Type:  Series, Romantic Comedy
Rating:  4.5 Stars!
Synopsis:  Spend the next 40 years in prison or break her lease early?  Normally she’d be able to say that this one was a no-brainer, but things have definitely changed since she was forced to move in across the hall from Danny Bradford. A lot of things……
She wanted to get through one day, just ONE day without Danny Bradford doing something to test the limits to her control, but with that damn smile of his and his habit of leaving her contemplating manslaughter, she didn’t see that happening anytime soon.
He loved his family, but some days……. It was too much, but that was okay, because his small neighbor living across the hallway provided him with endless hours of entertainment. Not on purpose of course, but did it really matter as long she made him smile?
My Review:  I loved Tink's reaction to medication.  This book had me laughing and I liked the couple.  The food situations were hilarious again, even Trevor and Jason were in this book.  The two things I disliked were the situation between Danny and his Father and the repetitive parts however I still really love this series and author.  I recommend The Game Plan: A Neighbor from Hell 5 if you are looking for a fun read.  ;-)

Truce - The Historic Neighbor From Hell 4


Title:  Truce
Author:  R.L. Mathewson
Type:  Series, Romantic Comedy
Rating:  5 Stars!
Synopsis:  This is the story before everything...
Elizabeth knows what’s expected of her, perfection. She’s the daughter of an Earl and expected to marry well, say and do the right things with a smile on her face when inside she’s dying for a chance to escape. Thanks to an inheritance her godmother left her years ago, her chance will come with her next birthday. Her hopes of escape abruptly end when Robert, her childhood nemesis that she hasn't seen in over fourteen years, comes back into her life and does everything he can to drive her out of her mind even as he steals her heart.
He hated her. At least, he tried to hate her, but it was so damn difficult to hate someone that he couldn't live without. He tried to ignore her, tried to focus on anything but her, but nothing worked. Somehow she made her way into his heart and started to make him want things that he never though possible, made him smile and laugh even while she drove him out of his mind and started a legacy by turning him into...
A Bradford.
My Review:  This book gave the series something extra!  I wasn't sure I would like it being a historical read however I loved it and am glad I gave it a shot.  With banter and humor, a great romance filled with hot sex and one yummy, hungry Bradford.  I highly recommend Truce: The Historic Neighbor From Hell (A Neighbor From Hell Series Book 4) if you are looking for a fun read that has you smiling throughout!

Checkmate (Neighbor From Hell 3)

Title:  Checkmate (Neighbor From Hell 3)
Author:  R.L. Mathewson
Type:  Series, Romantic Comedy
Rating:  5 Stars!
Synopsis:  There’s nothing worse than living next door to your childhood nemesis, except maybe being forced to share your dream project with him, being blackmailed into going along with something that was just wrong on so many levels, and having your hot cocoa stolen by the person that drove you to drink it in the first place.
As long as she has plenty of hot cocoa, a pair of pliers on hand and is able to resist Connor O’Neil's bad boy charm then Rory James should be able to make it through this project with her sanity intact. If not...She’d probably face a few more nights in jail, have a few more restraining orders slapped against her and lose her heart to the man that ruined her life.
My Review:
Another couple, another laugh out loud funny and sweet book from Mathewson!  I didn't want to put it down.  I loved Rory's character from the start.  Another book that I wished was longer!  I highly recommend Checkmate (A Neighbor From Hell Series Book 3).  From the love/hate relationship to the pranks, I can't remember another book that had me smiling while I was reading so much!  ;-)

Perfection (Neighbor From Hell 2)

Title:  Perfection (Neighbor From Hell)
Author:  R.L Mathewson
Type:  Series, Romantic Comedy
Rating:  5 Stars!
Synopsis:  Zoe is used to taking care of herself and has long ago accepted that if anything bad was going to happen, it was going to happen to her. So when she loses her job over something most bosses would probably be happy with and her life starts going down hill from there she doesn't expect it to get any better. She certainly didn't expect any help from the loud jerk next door, but then again she has nothing to lose so puts her trust in him and hopes for the best. What she didn't expect was the once in a lifetime opportunity that he offers her through an arrangement where they both benefit and no one is supposed to get hurt, but she should have known better because her luck has never been that good.
Like most Bradfords, Trevor has a soft spot for food, but that's about all. He leads a pretty straightforward life and likes to keep things simple and that includes his relationships. He wants the perfect woman and knows exactly what she'll be like. So when he discovers much to his horror that he's thinking about his frumpy little neighbor he decides the best way to get his head straight is by working her out of his system. He'll keep her around, but only until he finds perfection.
My Review:  Loved it!  I didn't want to put it down.  Fuuny, sweet,sexy - had it all.  This series is becoming my one of my favorites.  Perfection (A Neighbor From Hell Series Book 2) is highly recommended!

Playing For Keeps (Neighbor From Hell 1)

Author: R.L Mathewson
Type:  Series, Romantic Comedy
Rating: 5 Stars!
Synopsis: Done with being the world's biggest pushover, Haley decides that things are going to change starting with the aggravating neighbor who has too much charm and not enough restraint. What she didn't expect was to be sucked into his world, but Haley has a game plan and she won't let herself forget just what the bad boy next door is capable of. The last thing Jason expected was for his little shy neighbor to go Rambo on him over some ruined flowers. After he decides to take her under his wing he can't help but notice that she fits very nicely in his life. Now the only thing left is to convince her that this is anything but a game.
My Review:  This book is funny!  The banter between them was crazy!  It was well written and left me wishing it were longer.  Loved it and highly recommend.

Stepbrother Billionaire


Title:  Stepbrother Billionaire
Author:  Colleen Masters
Type:  Stand-alone
Rating:  3 Stars
Synopsis:  I’ve hated him since middle school.   The effortlessly popular, lacrosse superstar, beautiful, blue-eyed nightmare Emerson Sawyer. Funny thing is, he didn’t even know I existed until our senior year, when his mom started hooking up with my dad.
Now he torments me in the hallways, calling me “Sis” whenever he gets the chance, relishing in the fact that I can’t hide my blushing whenever he’s around. Even though I can’t stand him, my body betrays me—and he loves it.
Emerson and his mom just moved in with us, and as if crushing on him wasn’t weird enough, now our bedrooms share a wall.  The sexual tension keeps building between us, but I know nothing can ever happen…especially now that our parents are engaged. I try to tell myself that I hate him, that he’s wrong for me, that we’ll never be together…
So why did I agree to play Seven Minutes in Heaven at his girlfriend’s high school party?
And why does Emerson suddenly have my panties in his hands?
Stepbrother Billionaire contains adult themes, harsh language, and graphic sexual content.
My Review:  I only gave it 3 stars.  I thought the cover was hot!  The synopsis was intriguing  however the story fell short.  I didn't really get the connection with the main characters and the sexual tension was not exciting.  I always try to read the entire book even if I am not that interested in the story.  Throughout this book I was hoping the story would pick up and suck me in however it did not.  Love me that cover though!  Damn!  ;-)

Gone Part 3

Title:  Gone 3
Author:  Deborah Bladon
Type:  Part 3 of a 3 part series
Rating:  4.5 Stars

In the final book of this series Lilly rocks!  She takes everything into her own hands and becomes the investigator.  I wish it was longer since parts seemed rushed to me.  However I would totally recommend this series.  Overall I really liked the story and Deborah Bladon's writing.  She is one of my favs!  ;-)

Gone Part 2

Title:  Gone 2
Author:  Deborah Bladon
Type:  Part 2 of a 3 part series (all have been released)
Rating:  5 Stars

In this second book things change between Clive and Lilly.  She stands up for herself and doesn't allow Clive to run her.  I love that in a female character!  This book will suck you in and then it ends in a cliffhanger.  However don't let that deter you from reading because the last part, book 3, has already been released!

Gone Part 1

Title:  Gone
Author:  Deborah Bladon
Type:  Part 1 of a 3 part series (all have been released)
Rating:  5 stars

This short story is told from the main character Lilly's point of view.  She works at Starbucks but dreams of working as a software designer for a certain company in New York.  She does something kinda stupid and ends up meeting Clive Parker, the owner of the company she wants to work for.  

I really enjoyed this.  It was funny and ends in a cliffhanger but you do not have to wait for the next part because it is already out!  If you are in the mood for a quick read definitely give this a shot!
