After a blind date stands her up, Catrina Striker stops in O’Leary’s Pub for a sandwich, nothing else. Then Tony Bates, North Salem’s resident playboy, sits down next to her and destiny takes over. Cat knows all about Tony’s reputation, but that doesn’t stop her from doing something she’s never done before: invite him back to her apartment.
Tony Bates has always looked at Catrina as nothing but … nothing but his buddy’s little sister, until a chance encounter one summer night changes all that.
Since the sudden death of his college sweetheart, Tony has kept all his relationships casual and fun. Everyone knows that, which is why Cat and Tony agree to keep their involvement a secret rather than risk Tony’s friendship with her brother. However, what starts out as a secret fling soon becomes much more, and Tony must decide if he’s ready to risk his heart again or lose the woman who completes him.

I really enjoyed Cat and Tony’s story. They have to keep their relationship a secret because she’s the sister of one of his friends, though they’re not close, and the coach’s daughter. They decide they’re just having fun, but when Cat is up for a promotion, Tony is very supportive of her. He doesn’t know that she will have to move to California, if she gets it. No spoilers, so grab your copy and see if their relationship remains a secret or if she gets the job.
Great
Another great book from this series. Each has characters from pass novels and bring others together. I have enjoyed each one.
enjoyed this book very much
I love a romance where the playboy is stopped in his tracks by the younger sister of his good friend…and this one does not disappoint. Cat and Tony didn’t plan for their relationship to become something special but, when it does it creates a big bump in the road and you hold your breath to see is they get their happy ending.
This is the third book in the Love on the North Shore series by Ms Tetreault. Like the previous books in the series, there aren’t any real surprises. It’s a typical chance meeting of two people who decide a fling is in order. They’ve known each other for a long time. She’s a friend’s little sister; he knows it’s a bad idea, but he can’t say no. They vow to keep their “fling” a secret and no hard feelings when it’s over. As expected, that doesn’t work out. The Playboy Next Door is a quick and cute read that will keep you entertained but not enthralled.
A lovely story about getting involved with your brothers friend. Tony lost his college girlfriend through tragedy and then decides to keep all his future experiences with women as short and no strings. Catrina meets Tony in a pub one night and one thing leads to another.
This story has wonderful friends and family, jealous exes, angry brothers and a HEA.
I enjoyed this series
Good Reading for its entertainment.
Not worth the time. I wouldn’t spend a minute with these characters in real life so why waste reading time with them?
I enjoyed reading the Playboy Nezt Door. It’s a great beach read.
The book was so good I went on to read the series
Absolutely loved this! A must read! Great H and h!
This was an “ok” book. She’s written better.
Loved and am reading the whole series
Too bad the author had to throw in the offensive language. I find it took away from my total reading experience.
Typical romance book. But the characters are very relatable and addicting!!!
Good book.
Lots of characters involved and trying to remember how they’re all connected without a big introduction to them. Overall a good read. Playboy changes his ways while dating a friends sister and hiding it.
Pleasant quick read
Loved it want to read rest of series
