And when your pain and fear and past wants you, it comes to get you..

While slowly recovering from a bad marriage, Hannah secluded herself in her parents house. Somehow she had lost the person she was and instead what was left was a women broken in mind and spirit. James was her next door neighbour, her childhood crush. After walking away from his life for the past year, he returned to the house that he had as a child. The divorce from his wife was finally over. It was a marriage that should never have been. His wife had never loved him,only the publicity she got from being his wife. He realized he had never loved her and after he found out she was cheating on him he realized he hadn’t cared. Falling in love with Hannah so quickly after his divorce should have been wrong but instead it was what made everything right. I loved this story with all it’s heartache and pain, finding the perfect someone when you need it the most makes you realize what is really important in life.

The Perfect Girl Next Door Romance
By EscadaMama
LA Pepper’s latest release is a girl next-door romance with a twist. The premise of this book reminds me of the movie Sabrina. The rich family with the handsome son lives in the mansion while their chauffeur along with his daughter lives in the much smaller carriage house nearby. The lanky, plain, chauffeur’s daughter perches on the limb of a tree for glimpses of the neighbor’s rich handsome son, dreaming that one day the son will notice her. After many years away, the chauffeur’s daughter returns home and finally catches the eye of the neighbor’s son. She is all grown up, sophisticated and beautiful and the son falls in love with her.
In Protecting his Secret, Hannah is the girl living in the carriage house next door to the huge brownstone in Greenwich New York. Her parents have moved to Florida and newly divorced, Hannah is escaping a terrible marriage and controlling ex-husband. Suffering from panic attacks, Hannah has given up her teaching job and has become somewhat of a recluse only venturing out for her dog-walking business.
James is the rich boy who now owns the brownstone next door after his parent’s died in a tragic accident. Up until recently, James lived in LA with his starlet wife whom he divorced after he realized she had only married him for his status. In fact, she cheated on him right after they got married! While James was in LA, he allowed his cousin Bette to move into his brownstone after her parents cut her off when she announced she was gay! James and Bette have always been close and he would do just about anything for his cousin. While he was in LA, Bette became very good friends with Hannah. When James walks into his house for the first time after returning to New York he meets Hannah for the first time in 10 years. He doesn’t immediately realize that the beautiful and damaged Hannah is the girl from his past who had a crush on him as a teenager. Their attraction is mutual and James is very protective of Hannah who obviously has some issues from her broken marriage. Hannah tries to fit into James’s world but circumstances arise that have her withdrawing into her shell. Will James’s love be enough to pull Hannah out of her shell? One-click Protecting His Secret to enjoy a warm, steamy romance that will capture your hear!! * I received an advanced copy in return for my honest review.

James is fresh off from a divorce and his next door neighbor Hannah, still coping with an abusive ex-husband. This book has it all infatuation, mixed feelings, love, scandal and the attempted murder. For such a quick read, it packs quite a punch that was enjoyable to read.

A full five stars. Hannah and James lived next door to one another in their formative years. She believed he was the one for her. James’ family was wealthy and lived in a mansion, she and her parents lived in a carriage house. Now ten years later they met again. For him, it was love at first sight. Both had been married and suffered through miserable marriages and their divorces were equally bitter. Their time together was not always joyful mainly due to the ex-spouses. I loved the book. It is well written, has very interesting characters, and is heartwarming. I recommend Protecting His Secret by L.A. Pepper.
