Me? The sweet little innocent me who is never out of line?How could I possibly want to lose my V-card to the one man who is completely off limits? Blake Henderson… He’s ten years older. The hottest firefighter to ever exist. My goddamn neighbor. And… of trouble.
I know because I have a good view of him from my bedroom window.
I’m probably stupid to think that I can get away with this.
That my own sister won’t notice me lusting over her ex.
But I’m desperate…
And he’s tempting.
Besides, it’s not like I’ll get pregnant, right?
Right?

Our heroine has always been interested in the guy next door, but he was off limits because he was dating her sister. Now they are not dating, so should she take the chance?
This was an interesting read with a good plot and decent characters. I liked our hero and heroine and thought they had good chemistry, although I would have liked to have seen things develop at a slightly slower pace to show some build up. I also could have done without all the family drama. I understand including the sister as that provided that bit of spice, that hint of the forbidden, but all the parental drama just distracted from our characters and their relationship.
That being said, I did enjoy the story. I just felt it could have been better if it focused a bit more on our couple.
Recommended.
I received an ARC of this book for review purposes.
Jasmine’s sister Freya will be moving away to Chicago. They were going to have a dinner but Freya already broke up with Blake but since no one contacted him to cancel he went anyway. Freya is throwing a tantrum and goes upstairs to pack. Blake starts to leave but Jasmine wants to go for a walk too. They talk and this gets Blakes attention and his is starting to get attracted to Jasmine. Freya is a pain and acts like a kid most of the time. Jasmine is attracted to Blake but wants to make sure it is okay to date him. He’s 10 years older than her (she’s 22 I think) and he is a Fireman. Later they start seeing each other in secret to try things out. But what will do they when Freya decides she wants Blake back? Oh the plot thickens! So much going on in this book. I liked it but had a problem with Blake just switching sisters in a snap.

I gave this book 5
Forbidden Neighbor by Summer Brooks. Love this other!!!
This book is full of delicious, sexy, emotionally charged strong characters. It’s complexity storyline turn so believable by the great writing of Mrs. Summer. It could have turned a little tabooish (don’t think it’s a word..lol) but she smooth things out perfectly!!!
We have 2 sisters completely differen like night and day, I gorgeous firefighter neighbor who is 10 years older then one of the sis, a Mom that noone should be exposed to, a dad that just goes with the flow and they all live in a small town.
There was so much that happens in this little book, that I can’t even put into good enough words for you. You should definitely read it.
Jaz and Blake belong together, but it was not an easy task to achieve!
There was so much anger, fighting, sneaking around and forgiveness that had to happen before everyone got their HEA.
This has to be one of the best epilogue that I have read. It was amazeballs.
A lot of author’s should read this book Summer Brooks to get some pointers on how to end a book You Rock Thank you!
SIZZLING HOT!!!
OMG! This is one sweet read. I love Summer’s style as she pulls this magnificent page turning tale together brilliantly. I was captivated from the start. It’s truly one wild ride as everything falls into place with such perfection it blew my mind. The characters are well developed and believable with realistic personalities that blend and play off one another in such a smooth flowing rhythm. The scenes are quite graphic and descriptive that it paints a fantastic backdrop that really makes the storyline pop. All the twists and turns kept the suspense high and tension higher. It’s truly a joy to read as it commands your full attention until the last word. Summer did an excellent job bringing this read to life flawlessly. Great job Summer, thanks for sharing this awesome read with us.
I loved this book! I was actually alittle sad when it ended. The characters were so well written. Jaz and Blake’s relationship was great to “watch” unfold. The struggle / past that they had to deal with in order to be together. I don’t want to give to much away for spoiling it for everyone, but I definitely think this is a must read.
So how does one tell their older sister, whom practically raised you, that you are in love with her ex-boyfriend?
This story hits all the right spots and I really enjoyed reading it. Family can be a tricky thing but if everyone is honest and only wants the best for one another it just may be possible for everyone to be happy in the end.
This book pulls at your heart strings and has your emotions going in direction just like the characters at times.
Summer Brooks has done it again and this is one romance story you don’t want to pass on.

Great Friends to Lovers Romance!
Captivating story of finding love in your own backyard when the friendship between Blake and Jaz turns to love. Delightful characters that are equally warm, funny, unthinkably selfish and totally believable. Great storyline full of sizzling chemistry, sibling rivalry, parents from Hell and forbidden romance. Thoroughly enjoyable.
I received an arc copy and am happy to leave my honest review.
A delightful story to read! Blake has been dating Freya for 5 yrs. She decides to move to the big city & away from Blake. Having a rocky relationship with her, he felt out-of-love for the last 2 yrs. He’s decided to move forward & not get back together with Freya. Little sister, Jasmine (Jaz) has caught his eye. Jaz likes him but he is forbidden. A sister doesn’t date her sister’s boyfriend whether he’s an ex or not. They have feelings for each other but it’s awkward at first, having to sneak around & keep their dating under wraps. Freya is livid when she finds out. Blake & Jaz decide to openly date with Freya moving on. Turns out everything works out with surprises & HEA. A refreshing novel that isn’t all under the sheets & there’s an interesting story-line.

Summer Brooks knows how to write hot romantic tales that are also well plotted, well written and loads of fun. That was certainly the case with her latest, Forbidden Neighbor. This is loads of pure romantic fun. It had just what I wanted, was well written, and had a great plot full of perfectly heated romance. I simply adored its leads, Jasmine the not so innocent and Blake who gives new meaning to the term “fireman”, and their wonderful explosively hot sexy chemistry. They were a pleasure to watch as they developed their relationship over the course of the pages. The cast of supporting characters were also simply superb (especially Freya). What more I could one ask for? But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review to my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises – this book definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that the book is most definitely one to read, it is easy to highly recommend.
This is a fast paced book that will keep you engaged from start to finish, it’s very well written and easy to read. The story flows well throughout, the characters of Jasmine and Blake are likable and they draw you further into the story. I really enjoyed reading this book and I’m looking forward to reading more from Summer Brooks!!

Ms. Summer Brooks has just released gold with Forbidden Neighbor. Blake, Freya, Jasmine and Eric are the key players of this release and these characters are creatively crafted in such a way, you will have no problem envisioning any scenario they find themselves in. I try extremely hard never to give away any part of the plot and Forbidden Neighbor has so much beauty and depth to it, that this is a hard task.
This impeccable release centers around the ending of a relationship, and the beginning of another, more loving and fated one. Additionally, Family means everything to each of these people. What once was an on again off again 5yr relationship comes to an end between Freya and Blake. Jaz happens to be Freya’s younger Sister and she is seeing Blake in a whole new light. Friction? Oh, Yes! Not to worry because everlasting love will be found. I know that should you be familiar with the talent of Ms. Brooks, then you are already aware of her incredible talent and creativity. Should you not be familiar with her work, I implore you to pick up this book and devour every word of it. Superbly Crafted Romance.
I was incredibly fortunate to have requested an advanced reader’s copy of Forbidden Neighbor in exchange for my honest opinion and I highly recommend reading this book as well as anything written by Ms. Brooks.
This is a great read. Jasmine has always done what was best for her family, out of love. Blake has been living a routine, on and off again with his girlfriend. But life sends them a twist that makes you hold your breath for the drama about to unfold but also makes your heart soar with the beginnings of a new relationship. The characters come with their history and back story making them relatable and realistic. The elements of the storyline make this story very real and it is shown through the emotions you experience while reading it. Great Read!

Enjoyable read!
I liked the trope. I know similar situation from real life. Was always wondering how that works when you marry your ex’s sibling. But seeing those people everyday and looking at the family looks like that even the most hurtful feelings can be forgiven if our family bond is strong. Same for Blake, Jaz and Freya.
Sometimes we are just stuck in the relationship just because it is very comfortable and we do not need to put much effort into it. But we often forget about true feelings that should accompany the relationship like love, lust, passion, trust. That we can relay on the person and that we will be taken care of giving back as much as we can. Maybe it was rushed in the story but life sometimes writes very strange scenarios and being friends for years, and keeping true feelings at bay can do that.
Loved the plot and story line with a lot of drama, angst but also some funny and sweet moments. I enjoyed reading this very much and I was #TeamBlake all the way from the start.
Jasmine’s sister Freya broke up with her boyfriend of 5 years, Blake, and wanted to move to Chicago to begin her fabulous new life. Blake knew they should have broken up long ago. He realized he had feelings for Jasmine, even though she was 10 years younger. Jasmine and Freya were extremely close and Blake worried that Jaz would feel she was betraying Freya by dating Blake even though they were no longer together. To me this was strange thinking until Freya came home. Now what!? I liked parts of this book alot. Jasmine’s mother was horrible! Nasty! Blake was pretty perfect! I enjoyed the story.

I was hooked from start to finish! Freya and her high maintenance attitude made me laugh out loud one minute, and cringe for her poor sister the next minute. I loved the whole book, and the last chapter was hilarious. Jaz and Freya had the best sister relationship ever.
