Review

God, I love this series! I love it when you can pick up a book and, before you even open it, know what you can expect, and know that it’s going to be a great read. The Neighbour from Hell books are like that – fun, light, swoony and sexy, and utterly, utterly hilarious!

Rory and Connor are absolutely dynamite! They live to torment each other. Ever since preschool they have been at each other with pranks, jokes, teasing and embarrassing the hell out of each other. Their antics have resulted in jail stays, restaurant and grocery store bans, and a situation where whenever they are in the same room, people run and hide. Little titbits of their childhood together and all of the things they did to each other are revealed throughout the story, and it’s absolutely freaking hilarious!

Now they are all grown up, both of them strong, confident and stubborn, and still torturing each other – sometimes it’s hilarious, sometimes it’s totally cringe worthy (but mostly it’s hilarious).

“All that mattered was that he could look forward to aggravating the piss out of Rory each and every night.”

But when they are forced to work together, things, unsurprisingly, start to change and the fire between them becomes something completely different as they find themselves overwhelmingly attracted to each other. The two of them fight their attraction so hard, and watching them try to rationalise it is so freaking funny. But when they eventually cave… HOLY FREAKING HOTNESS, these two have some SERIOUS chemistry! My kindle was steaming!

But it’s not all sex, there is some very deep emotion going on too, and watching Rory and Connor come to realise their feelings, and then seeing Connor, in particular, just go with it and put himself out there, was brilliant. I will admit that Connor’s motives for his ‘big plan’ were pretty deplorable, but I totally forgave him while watching him come to realise exactly what Rory meant to him. And from that point on the poor girl had no chance, because he was never going to let her go! And through it all he treated her like a Princess – something she had never experienced before, and I loved him for it! And damn, the man can bring the swoon!

“I want you, Rory,” he said against her lips. “Forever.”
“I want you too, Connor,” …
“You’ve got me”

And when we are given even more insight into their past history, and realise exactly what had been going on, and for how long, and how much of an impact these two have unknowingly had over each other’s lives for all of these years, it makes their coming together even sweeter!

In other happy news – Jason and Trevor are back (Rory is a cousin to the Bradford family) – and starving of course, and they are just as fantastic as always. I was laughing pretty much from the moment they appeared on the page. God, I love those boys!

“Oh my God! Stop eating that!”
“Your trail mix tastes funny,” Trevor said with a cringe.
“That wasn’t trail mix, you bastard! That was potpourri!”
“Well, that explains a lot,” he said, giving her a sheepish smile as he returned the large wooden bowl back to the side table. She didn’t need to look to know that he’d already eaten half the bowl of potpourri. She didn’t even bother asking him what the hell was wrong with him since she knew the answer.
The man was a Bradford.
Enough said.

And when you add into the mix Rory’s five gorgeously protective older brothers, and the entire Bradford clan at a family reunion, that’s a lot of Alpha male roaming around! And their reactions to the unfolding romance are priceless.

I loved both Rory and Connor, and their story. I hope that R.L. Mathewson continues on with this series, because these books are just pure win 🙂
