From New York Times bestselling author R.L. Mathewson comes the next installment in the Neighbor from Hell series… be there for his children, Devin has put his life on hold, putting his children first even if that meant telling himself that he couldn’t have the only woman that he’d ever wanted.
After years of putting off taking the next step, Charlie was finally ready, mostly because her best friend had threatened to make her life a living hell if she didn’t. Knowing that she wouldn’t be able to pull this off unless she made some changes, Charlie somehow finds herself moving into the in-law apartment of the man that seemed to go out of his way to avoid her only to find herself wondering if she was chasing the wrong dream after all.

This, like almost all of the books from this authour, basically has the same dialogue, just different characters. And the reason I keep coming back is for those different characters. In this case, a single dad and his employee-come-tenant are the focus. He made some choice that made sense to him years ago. She is looking at moving onto a new phase in her life. They finally connect, and all is well, and then their differences come to light. Two super cute kids, and then the heartbreaking moments. It all wraps up nicely though, and we get a nice parade of previous characters as a bonus!
Talk about laugh! Honestly if you are looking for a book to cheer you up then read this one. The humour in it is outstanding and it just keeps going from the front page to the back cover. From the playful banter between the characters to the hilarious responses in somewhat difficult situations to simply outright funny scenes, they all have you either chuckling or laughing out loud. So much so, my family wanted to know what was so funny and loved when I read out different scenes.
Charlie is a true treasure, an absolute gem of a character who shines brightly throughout the whole story. Her quick wit and sassy comebacks blend in well with the other characters too. Her strength and determination is admirable but so is her loyalty and capacity to love. Devin is a perfect match for her, except for the fact he was a bit on the slow to wake up side, I mean five years! He might have been a little misguided, though. He too is hardworking, loyal and dedicated to his family. Together they make a great couple but with Dustin and Abbi they make a fabulously fun family.
Abbi and Dustin, watch out, those two are destined for great things! I will admit there is a particular scene that did have me tearing up, okay, I was crying. It was heartbreaking but also beautiful too. These two scallywags help to create a lot of hilarious scenes, the things that they say!
Are there any serious elements in this story? You betcha! There are quite a few actually but the way they are written into the storyline so seamlessly is brilliant. I am in awe of this author, this is the second book of hers I have read but definitely won’t be the last!
Loved this book! Love this author!
I highly recommend all the books in this series.
Loved every bit! Go read this.
Charlie is a spitfire you can’t help but love. She goes after what she wants. However her love of those that matter hold her up. I feel her deeply. Just go read this!!!!
And I need a book about Ben!
So funny!!
What can I say that I haven’t already said? I will read anything this author writes! But I am especially in love with the Neighbors From Hell Series. If you want a great story with authentic laughs, this series is the go-to series! LOVE IT!
5 stars
Devin is a single father with twins and when they were born, he promised to always put them first. Devin was a cop but went into the furniture making business so he’d always have time for his children. Charlie has worked for Devin for five years, marketing his furniture, and has decided to make her
dream come true. She cuts her expenses and looks for a cheaper apartment. Devin has an in-law apartment and against his better judgement, rents it to Charlie. Will her dreams finally come true or will they be more than she could have hoped for?
I laughed and almost cried. Most of the Bradford’s show up. A man who lives only for his kids and a woman that wants what every woman wants..happiness. You do not want to miss this story. I read it in less than a day and even stopped several times because I didn’t want it to end.
Yessss!!! I loved this book! Dustin and Abbi are adorable and Devin and Charlie are awesome! Loved reading how their lives came together. Plus I loved that my other favorite Bradford family members made appearances in the book!
R.L. Mathewson, my most favorite author, especially all of the Neighbor From Hell series !
Devin & Charlie!!! Oh goodness, these two! And Abbi & Dustin are just such fun kiddos! The banter, the cute, the sweeeeet! We get an instant love story w/ Charlie & the twins – they just bond immediately & that brings forth some of the cutest scenes. Devin & Charlie have the slow burn romance that works perfectly in this series. You KNOW they’ve fallen for each other, but they don’t quite realize it & so that’s where the slow burn comes in, and then they FINALLY give in. And we get lots of Bradford cameos, which I loved.
There’s also a few perfectly emotional moments that brought me to tears, which I also loved. And of course the LOL humor. Fabulous!! : )
Devin Bradford made a promise to his children when they were born and it was to put them first. Following his promise he has kept his distance from the one woman who he truly wants, Charlie. When he hired Charlie he knew he was in trouble. Devin is renting out his apartment attached to his house and when Charlie answers the ad, he lets her move in. Now the woman is underfoot and his twins love her, in fact they want to spend every waking moment with her. Will Devin let his heart have what it clearly wants, Charlie, or will he bungle all of it by keeping his promise?
This was fantastic. I do not remember much of Devin in the previous books but this book made up for it. Devin is trying to do right by his kids, he is an amazing dad but he also is a grump particularly where Charlie is concerned. His children are handfuls but with Charlie she allows them to who they are, precocious children. Thoroughly enjoyed and can’t wait for the next book.
So good! I loved this take on a single dad! This book had the hilarious characters that I adore from this author, kiddos that are mischievously adorable, and family dynamics that make me laugh hysterically. Add in a good dose of all the feels and you have the perfect recipe for a fantastic book that you won’t be able to put down! This book is another winner by this author!
This story is exactly what makes this series so fun!! Devin and Charlie have the best chemistry and hilarious spat’s that you’ve come to expect from a Bradford. Throw in two adorable children and animals, there’s no way you can NOT love this book.
Devin Bradford is a single father and owner of Bradford Creations. When he rents out his in-law apartment the last person he expects shows up to rent it… Charlie.
Charlie is looking to downsize and finds the perfect apartment but little does she know she’s about to get way more than she bargained for.
I loved the was R.L let’s you catch up with old favorites from the NFH series while introducing readers to new Bradfords. Another Five Star Read
NFH series are so fun and entertaining to read, I just loved Devin & Charlie along with the rest of the Bradford clan, I never want this series to end, lol
You fall in love with the characters! I couldn’t put the book down. I love the Bradford’s! The are a fun loving, overprotective, stubborn, close nit family that is highly competitive! When a Bradford falls in love, they always end up making you laugh out loud, cry and swoon!
