Perfect ~ Keeper

Perfection is filled with fun, loving, crazy characters. It is one of those novels that will have you wanting to strangle the hero one moment then root for the Hero to get the woman he loves. Great addition to The Neighbors From Hell series.

I enjoyed and loved Playing For Keeps book 1. WOW... Perfection book 2 blew me away. I could not put this book down. It is one of those books you can not start late at night unless you want to be dragging in the morning.

What I loved most about Trevor is how in the beginning he was a neighbor from hell by stealing Zoe’s pizza and messing up her laundry, but later he became obsessed (in a good way) with her. He is not In-Your-Face Alpha Male. Since he owns the building, he is the Alpha Male who will Shut down your water, turn off the electricity so Zoe would move in with him.

Poor Zoe... R.L. Mathewson did a great job with dealing with weight issues. Zoe is a full figure woman that went to the extreme of barely eating. She did eat all healthy foods but not enough. What I loved most of Zoe’s character was watching her grow from a push over to a non push over. Love reading about Zoe who is sweet, but was able to get her way sometimes with Trevor.

The progress of Trevor and Zoe’s relationship from friends to lovers was well written. Their relationship was gradually done through out the book. Their chemistry is fun, hot and you can not swipe your e-reader fast enough to see how and if they will get their HEA. What I loved most about Trevor and Zoe is you just never knew what was going to happen next.

OH MY GOSH... The secondary characters just added so much to the story. What a treat it was to see how Jason and Haley are doing. The office scene at his dads construction business had me Laughing Out Loud. He was trying to get his wife fired for sexual harassment. It is freakin hilarious when you find out why. Sorry do not want to spoil the fun. The Bradfords family food obsession still continues and has some LOL moments. Especially since  all the males are band from every food place. Zoe does find a new restaurant that they are not banned from. Gathering all the Bradfords in one restaurant was a great and LOL scene.

I love this kind of Genre, Friends becoming Lovers. What works for this series is R.L. Mathewson does an amazing job with characters who never meet and when they first do, they get off at a rocky start. But then they go from being good friends then to lovers. Perfection is a keeper for me and look forward to more books in this series. I would start from the beginning of this series with Playing For Keeps #1. I highly recommend A Neighbors From Hells series if you are looking for fun and sexy contemporary romance novels.

My first time reading R.L. Mathewson and will not be my last. H & h are believable (minus Jason's food obsession) R.L. Mathewson has a way of writing where you can not put the book down.

Jason is alpha yummy in a good way. Not in a way where he is in the h face letting her know she is his and only his. He does it in a sneaky way where he will scare off any dates etc. Cute and refreshing. I adored the H/h friendship build first and see where it was going to take them.

It was nice too see the H/h interact with other characters and it did not take away from the story like a fill in just to use writing space, not boring either it just added to the story. Playing For Keeps is a keeper for me.

Why:

Can you believe this is my 2nd L4C in a row that had a couple that is not half naked or a shirtless hero?

Thank you to R.L. Mathewson for giving us readers yummy new covers for Neighbor From Hell books. I am enjoying this cover because it is simple and sexy. I love how they are both in old faded jeans, her in a black sexy bra, him in his black muscle shirt and in their sexy pose. Sorry no synopsis yet. I can not wait for Checkmate to come out.

Stygian's Honor (Breeds series #27)
by Lora Leigh

Goodreads

Blurb:
Window Rock, Arizona, is the last known location of Honor Roberts, who vanished when she was just thirteen. It was her only sanctuary from the Breed research that would surely have ended in her death—one such insidious experiment should, indeed, have killed her. That she lived is both a miracle—and a great mystery.

Stygian’s mission is to find Honor Roberts, no matter the cost. Now, with the help of Liza Johnson, assistant to the chief of the Navajo Nation, he is closer than ever to his goal. But will the discovery of Honor Roberts mean the destruction of the mating heat that has developed between Stygian and Liza?


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Love the Neighbor From Hell series by R.L. Mathewson, with the crazy family and the men's food obsessions.  I have this series on my Kobo and remember I will be giving it to my mom.  This series is a keeper for me and bought Playing For Keeps and Perfection for my Kindle Fire.
