***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.

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.

I am loving the Signature Sweethearts series by Kelsie Rae. They are such sweet and charming reads with very likeable characters and stories we can get lost in and Rhett is no different.
Rhett is a good guy with a heart of gold. He is sweet, honest and caring, but has one rule, no cheating. This is important to him and a rule he does not break. Indie is in a place in her life she is comfortable even if she is not happy. She has been in a relationship going nowhere for a long time but seems complacent for now. Then she meets her neighbor, Rhett.
Indie knows her current relationship is going nowhere, but there is so much history there, how does she walk away? Then she meets Rhett and they hit it off immediately. Can Indie see what is right in front of her and what has been long gone before it’s too late?
I loved Rhett and Indie and no worries here, there is no cheating. Just two people who find each other and see possibilities. Things are not always easy, but I loved their journey so much. I have quickly become a huge fan of Kelsie Rae. I love her characters and stories and look forward to reading more from her.

5 STAR Review by Jodi for Ruby Red Romance Review
I loved everything about this story. Kelsie Rae come up with another amazing group of characters. I loved Rhett. The chemistry between he and Indie is off the charts. I loved how they instantly connected. Because of her relationship, Indie was off limits in the beginning. It didn’t take her long to see what she was missing out on. When Rhett finally gets his moment, boy is it great to watch. I loved seeing him fall. I loved watching Indie get the positive side of a relationship.
This story was everything I’ve come to love from Kelsie Rae. I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.
Rhett is the fourth book in Kelsie Rae’s Sweetheart Series. The series includes Liv, Breezy, Jude (check out my review on August 14th), Rhett, and Luke (which comes out in late 2018). These are standalone books but once you read one, you will want to read them all! I know that I do.
Rhett has a weakness for Armani suits and Neiman Marcus loafers…an image, quite like that of a GQ model, which he displays with absolute precision. However, outside of the business world, he’s happy in jeans, t-shirts, and his tiny apartment just blocks from Central Park where he erases the stress of the day with long runs. Did I mention that he also has a sweet tooth? He is very fortunate that Get Baked, a small local bakery, is just around the corner because the cronuts…well they are addicting. Rhett’s addicted to more than Indie Peterson’s baked goods….her innocent smiles, her indigo eyes, her tiny earlobes. He’s a goner! BUT, she’s taken and he doesn’t cheat on or with anyone.
Indie Peterson lives a stable, happy life. Even with the early mornings and weekends, Indie loves owning her bakery, Get Baked. There is just something about mixing flour, eggs, sugar, and butter to create a masterpiece. Her goal is to sprinkle something sweet into everyone’s day…one morsel at a time. Indie and her boyfriend, Tony, have been together since high school. They have a cute apartment just a few blocks from the bakery and Central Park but something is off. They are off. They’ve been off for the past eight years. Indie is tired. Tired of being ignored. Tired of Tony’s workalcholic habits. Tired of sleeping alone. Tired of cancelled plans. Tired of being taken for granted. Tired of fighting. Is that all there is to love? Shouldn’t you enjoy the company of the person that you love? How much longer can Indie do this? One day, sunshine knocks on her door in the form of her new neighbor, Rhett, and Indie catches a glimpse of what she’s been missing, chemistry. As much as Indie wants to deny it chemistry is chemistry and they have it spades.
Kelsie Rae has done it again! She has written a beautiful love story that I could not stop reading. I’ve actually read it twice now and the second time around was just as good as the first. Her character development is wonderful and you will love to hate Tony although he redeems himself a little bit at the end. Don’t worry, I’m not spoiling anything. Rhett is a sweetheart, a protector, a shoulder to cry on, and a dog lover. What more could you want? And Indie, well she’s Indie…the girl next door with a love for beaches and baking.
I actually give it 4.5 propellers but I’ll round up to 5!- You will not want to miss out on this book! Grab your copy now!
This is a sweet read! ~5 wonderfully awesome stars!!!! Ashley @ Carolina Chic’s read
Rhett and Indie are made for each other! Rhett does not want to be the man his dad was so he will wait for what he wants. Indie is the bakery owner who has a relationship that is name only. What happens when Rhett moves across the hall from Indie? Will the sweet she bakes up in the kitchen transform into something more? Kelsie does it again! I cannot wait to read the next book!
This book will blow you away you will laugh,cry throw your device your reading on just a warning! Indie is In a loveless 13 year relationship that is not rocking her socks but when her hot new neighbor Rhett comes about he melts her panties! The only thing is tony won’t let indie go without a fight! Whew so much chaos! Read this if you love alpha hotness and want to know who Rhett is! And I can’t wait to read sophies story !
What a sweet treat from this author! I read ALOT, and alot of what I read gets dark and twisty and sometimes I need a happy book where its more about figuring themselves out and how to be better and how to find whats missing and add to your life and I feel thats what this author brings to the table. She writes about love that makes your heart smile. Her characters make you feel like they deserve their HEA and I love that. I think so many of us have been where Indie was at some point in our lives, its relate-able feelings. She and Rhett are so cute together. They have certainly been through enough in their own right. You will be smiling at the end of this story, and looking forward to more of this authors work!
Simple but sweet. I loved how easy love came for Indie and Rhett. They made it feel effortless. I love Indie’s passion for baking and Rhett’s comfort in his own skin. I would have liked to get a little bit for background information on Sophie and Natalie but I guess they will have their own books. Great read and highly recommended.
Such a sweet story. This little story brings all the feels and a little pain. It shows how sometimes we have to forget comfort and go with our gut feelings. There are times in our life where we become complacent and scared to do what needs to be done. We are trying to live our life for someone else. When what we really need to do is live our best life. Sometimes that means inflicting heartache on someone else. Seriously, how can you be happy living a lie?
Then there’s the other side where you have to trust someone and stop thinking you already know the answers because someone you love has been hurt in the past by circumstances that have nothing to do with you.
Both Rhett and Indie are the people you want to know. They are beautiful inside and out but both have their issues. The problem neither one communicates fully. It’s a common issue with many people face. Then one of them assumes that they know what’s going on. The problem with assuming is many times you’re wrong.
This little story brings a lot to the table. It’s sweet, steamy, a little angsty, and brings many smiles. You’ll be pulling for these two from the beginning. It will also make you hungry. So be prepared.
I read this book in one sitting. This is my first book by this author I don’t think it will be my last.
When Indie first meets her new neighbor, Rhett, She is in a strained relationship with her longtime boyfriend Tony. Indie and Rett soon becomes friends, even though they are both are attracted to each other. But Rhett has 1 rule. Never get involved with someone who is already taken.
Indie realizes that her and Tony’s relationship is over. But Tony does not feel the same way.
Once Indie is single. her a Rhett’s friendship turns romantic. Things heat up, that is until Tony comes back and tries to destroy Indie’s and Rett’s relationship
If you love a sweet love story then Rhett is a perfect book for you!
This story is full of all the good feels that one has when a new Romance is blooming. He and his new neighbor Sophie have a instant attraction to each other but she is not available. She has been in a relationship with the same man for most of her life, but the chemistry between her and Rhett is nothing like anything she has ever felt before. Once she finally examines the differences in her feelings toward each of these men, she has to pick and it really is no contest at all. She loves them both but she loves Tony as a friend and Rhett holds her heart.
Indie is a routine kind of girl. She bakes in the morning, goes for a quick run in the evening before going to bed by seven, gets up at dawn, and bakes some more. Her new neighbor, Rhett, ruins everything. He visits her bakery every morning with a cocky smirk and a suggestion that she butter his biscuits. He is sexy and works with her boyfriend, who often sends Rhett in his place when he bails on a date. Indie is pushing closer and closer to falling for Rhett, but she is not a cheater. – Rhett is almost perfect. I enjoyed his and Indie’s flirtation. I liked their loyalty. They are good together. This is a good story about trust, faith and love.
Loved it!
Signature Sweethearts series is very aptly named. You get exactly what it says, a sweetheart romance book. Rhett & Indie will give you all the romantic feels you can handle.
Indie has recently found herself questioning the strength of her 13 year relationship with her boyfriend Tony. Her mind and heart start to really question things even more when her new neighbor, Rhett, introduces himself. They quickly become friends. The question is, is friendship all they want from each other?
Want to read a book where the guy says all kinds of charming things to make you swoon? This is the book for you. I found Rhett to be pretty darn close to the perfect man to swoon over. Indie and Rhett are the epitome of couple goals when it comes to a sweet romantic love story.
Another great book from this author. I am loving the Signature Sweethearts series. They are such sweet and charming reads. This Rhett and Indie’s story. This is the fourth book in the series but it can be read as a standalone.
I loved the characters and their playful banter. The chemistry between Rhett and Indie is off the charts. Indie was off limits in the beginning.
Rhett is sweet, honest and caring, but has one rule, no cheating. This is important to him and a rule he does not break.
This series is so much fun and yup I am enjoying each book. This time we get Rhett and Indie’s story. It’s not the typical boy meets girl and falls in love because this time there’s a problem, she already has a live in boyfriend. Indie is unhappy with her relationship, well if you can call it that. Too many nights alone, too many days unhappy, too many let downs. It all comes down to expectations and letting people down. It’s a great read and these two have chemistry that they keep in check especially since cheating is not an option. But what do you do when circumstances and actions keep throwing you together? It’s a slippery slope and it may be their undoing. It’s time for some hard decisions and truths before they lose their chance. Great story!! Love this author and love that it’s a clean read. The passion and heat is felt without the details and the chemistry burns up the pages. Awesome and now I get to move on to Sophie’s story cos it starts here but ends there.
This isn’t your typical girl next door book. Sweet love story. No cheating just love. Rhett and Indie make you want feel good love. Happy endings all around. Must Read!! I could read over and over again.
Rhett and Indie have a pure chemistry that is so sweet and nice ,, i love this storry so much you can feel the emotion of the characters all thru the book and make you realize that love can happen at anytime ..
this is a must read book ..hurry and get this book you wont regret
Rhett Jacobs has just moved into town and is blown away by his next door neighbor. Just arriving in town, how could he meet a sexy girl and one that lived so close to him. But the start off is rocky when he finds out she’s in a relationship.
The part that I love about Indie is that she owns a bakery and oddly she was in a relationship with a guy that is not suited for her. The author displays a good description of the bakery, which can peak your longings for sweets. The relationship with her boyfriend is kapook but she is stuck and can’t end it just yet.
The next door neighbor does interest her, but she feels mixed feelings and knows that she should feel the rush of emotions for her now boyfriend, Tony. Oddly, she doesn’t and this is where the trouble begins for her.
Rhett tried to avoid the wrong kind of ladies, but Indie was a girl he wanted to get to know. Each character had good points, but I have to say that I like Rhett the best, with his outlook on life he could balance and change within the boundaries of his concepts on life.
Indie was stuck, scared, and used to her life. I loved how the author worked them together slowly, and not fast, with real life situations going on.
Overall, this book was a good read and I give it a five.
I loved the ending.
Talk about instant fireworks!! When Rhett and Indie meet for the first time sparks go flying everywhere. But Indie is not single….what will Rhett do and can Indie resist this charmer?? A gorgeous story.
I loved this book so much! Indie and Rhett’s story pulled me and I couldn’t stop reading. I almost felt lost once the story ended. Rhett is the guy that every girl wants to find and fall in love with.
