***Can be read as a standalone and is a safe book****A guy who has a thing for his neighbor. And a girl who doesn’t know what she wants.RhettMy new neighbor, Indie, is literally the girl-next-door in every sense of the term, and she piques my curiosity as soon as I lay eyes on her.After a late night introduction, I learn that our chemistry is off the charts, our banter is on point, and her body … our chemistry is off the charts, our banter is on point, and her body is out of this world.
But when I mention a date, she runs like a stray kitten.
It’s easy to see that she’s hiding something.
And I’m going to find out what it is.
Indie
Rhett is the hot new guy across the hall.
He’s also the sexy businessman with a sweet tooth who regularly visits my bakery.
But I refuse to let him become anything else.
I can’t.
After a few chance encounters, followed by a date that isn’t a date, I find my world turned upside down by a man who shouldn’t be anything more than an acquaintance.
Maybe happily-ever-afters do exist, but not for a girl like me.

The grass always seems greener on the other side of the fence, but when dreaming with a broken heart does that ever turn out to be true? Rhett is the exploration of the road less traveled. Indie and Rhett want to be happy, yet are afraid to risk their hearts. Can they move out of the past to gain a happy future? Kelsie Rae has a knack for seeing beyond the negative. With an understanding heart, an empathetic ear and a plethora of wisdom, we can weather any storm.
Adorable. And interesting. Definitely not the norm but refreshing when they didn’t take the easy way out and cheat. But it was nice with her perspective when people stay in a relationship because it’s comfortable and not because they are in love. They were adorable together with their banter and cute jokes.
I absolutely loved Rhett and Indies story. This is the first book I have read from this author and I am excited to read more from her. Rhett is absolutely knocked off guard by his neighbor but is leery of relationships and Indie is in a dead end relationship and finding she is attractive to her neighbor but she breaks up with her boyfriend will he ruin what she and Rhett have? This book will have you hooked from page one until the end.
KU. This truly IS a stand alone. I *think* that Rhett was mentioned in passing in a previous book ~ but I don’t remember and it surely wasn’t enough for me to say “I can’t wait for his story!” AND no characters from previous books appear in this one.
This one was hard for me to rate. Probably a 3.5, so I rounded to 4 because I enjoy the series so much. It was low angst, which was nice ~ but also made the story border on kind of bland. (Such a fine line for authors to walk ~ though Rae does it well in the previous book).
Spoiler-ish: I’m also not a huge fan of insta-love and rushing into marriage. I got the point of “when you know, you know” ~ but if I did my math correctly, they’re basically engaged within a month of dating and less than double that knowing each other.
The chemistry between Rhett and Indie was off the charts. I just could not get enough of them! Loved everything about this story!
Indie has been dating Anthony for 13 years. There are no longer any sparks. When she meets Rhett sparks are ignited immediately. They become good friends. Eventually, Indie breaks things off with Anthony. Read to see if Indie and Rhett’s chemistry will last.
Kelsie Rae has done it again. She has a unique ability to paint a portrait with two very likable and desirable characters who possess off the chart chemistry. In Rhett, she throws an additional curveball in the form of a roadblock which threatens to keep them apart. The writing is light, laugh out loud, sexy, cute and overall a warm bundle of love which will have you beaming. Like a sweet desert, you will keep flipping chapters (just one more) and when you reach the end you will be already thinking about your next Kelsie Rae treat. 5 stars, count me as addicted to these treats.
Great book! I really enjoy Ms. Rae’s books. This one had me craving sweets. (Thanks a lot) JK!! This is part of a series however it MOST DEFINITELY CAN BE READ AS A STANDALONE! Indie and Rhett meet by faith and it was just what Indie needed. When you 1st start to read the book you will think Oh she is going to cheat, but NO NO she doesn’t. Read Rhett enjoy it and get your sweet tooth craving too. Oh and I loved Indies nickname for Rhett (Batman)
Rhett was a very nice book, I loved all the characters . I liked the fact that Rhett stood for something and never backed down in what he believed in. The book was romantic and nice.Loved it.
Indie & Rhett were a fun read! Even though Indie has a small complication… I liked the way the situation was handled, the struggle both Indie & Rhett go through considering her complication. It didn’t feel like a triangle or cheating – which sometimes these kinds of storylines can feel that way, and both those things are instant “NO’s” for me. So I was happy it didn’t feel that way!!
They build a friendship & support each other the way a relationship should be, and they are FUNNY! Well, the supporting cast is quite amusing, as well. And there’s a surprise beast… LOL Anyway, I really enjoyed the story – and I LOVE this series, and I’m looking forward to the next stories coming our way!! : )
I was really looking forward to this installment of the Signature Sweethearts series.
Though I’ve got to say it was not my favourite by a long shot.
It took way too long to have any sort of plot twist. Like 90 plus percent in. I found its pace was slow and at times boring. I put this book down more times then I picked it back up. The epilogue was interesting but too late in the game to redeem the book and at the same time it felt rushed. Such a shame. I really wanted to enjoy Indie and Rhett’s story.
2/5
Oh how I love Kelsie Rae’s books. She is my first and currently only one click author. I will read anything and everything.
Rhett and Indie have amazing chemistry and the flirting is strong with these two.
Indie is very unhappy in her relationship. Rhett is just trying to get through his days. Will they find their HEA?
We meet some new side characters in this book, and eventually I am hoping they get their own stories.
I have been captivated by these stories since Liv jumped on the scene. Each one is better than the one before it.
great storyline it keeps you hooked until the very end. a must read
This story made you feel sorry for the main person and the way her life was going. She loved her business and what she did but her home life was more like having a room mate then a boyfriend. Focus on work and just well acting settled and content in what their life was like they both pretty much just let things go. Then a neighbor moved in across the hall and everything changed. He felt something right away but after finding out that she had a live in boyfriend, he swore he would never do what his dad did to his mom so made it clear they could only be friends and she felt the same way. The story is one filled with go for it and then no that’s not the right thing and oh wake up. I found myself yelling at the book a bit with what should really happen with the couple. I couldn’t put it down so the author did her job for sure.
Another great story by Kelsie Rae! She has a knack for writing about the dreamiest men!! Rhett, aka Batman, is definitely at the top of my list for sweetest book boyfriend. I loved his genuine concern for Indie’s well-being from the very first moment he laid eyes on her. Rhett and Indie will make your heart swell and leave you smiling!
We all need a Rhett!
Rhett has a rule that he will never have anything to do with cheating in a relationship. His mother was cheated on and Rhett saw the pain that developed from the deceit. Just to make him more lovable, he is good looking, makes a good living, and he’s a nice guy!
Indie lives next door. The two have instant chemistry, but neither will act on it. Indie has been in a relationship with Tony for years! They’ve known each other since they were children, and Indie knows the relationship is not going anywhere. And then to top it off, Tony is her mother’s best friend’s son! So what’s Indie going to do and how do you hurt the one who’s been with you forever?
The story has angst, laughs and swoons! A wonderful read with lots of overall good feelings!
I received an ARC copy of this book and am voluntarily reviewing it.
Kelsie never fails to write a story that makes your heart beat and sometimes drop to your stomach. Indie and Rhett have an instant attraction. The kind you can sense. Indie is in a relationship from her childhood sweetheart, but sadly it’s lacking all the sparks that she has from Rhett. I love their easy banter, their connection and how they both love their mama’s. You get some drama, some laughs and your happily ever after. Can’t wait to read Sophie and sexy Nate next!!!!
I tore thru this story ~ 5 Stars Amazing ! Elizabeth @ Carolina Chic’s Read
Indie & Rhett have an instant chemistry that is kept at arm’s length until all the cards are in place for their more. I loved this story so much! What do you do when you the one you want is taken? You wait for her.
I’m not exactly sure but I think Rhett has become my new favorite book boyfriend. I think it’s because we share the same rule. Either way, I was swooning. He was always available for Indie…even when his feelings were platonic. I think she needed someone to be there for her…no questions asked.
Rhett and Indie are adorable and complicated. Rhett is the guy we all want to find, he’s actually nice, gorgeous, well to do, loves his mom, has character and refuses to have anything to do with cheating. So of course Indie is the girl with the convoluted life. In a going nowhere relationship with Tony, they’ve literally known each other since the cradle, what does she do when Rhett moves next door?
There’s no cheating in this book, which is really refreshing in this day and age. Both characters have issues stemming from their childhood, Rhett’s mom was cheated on, and Indie’s SO is actually her mom’s bestie’s son. With all the complicated dynamics, sorting things out will hit bumps and snags, and things are never as clean as they seem. But you root for them, and I definitely fell a little in love with Rhett myself.
