Miles is amazing.
He’s working as a bartender in Mercy. He happens to be working for his half brother Noah, who doesn’t know theiy are brothers.
Miles keeps to himself and doesn’t mess around. When his life interes from college shows up, he’s in a quandary. Missy said shallow and degrading things about him to her friends.
I had a hard time liking Missy, because Miles deserved someone special. She’s shallow and it’s only when she lost everything that she re-evaluated how horrible she was.
Told from Miles’ POV.
Recommend.

This is definitely a spicy read. It is also from the male’s perspective. I normally enjoy a dual POV but this is refreshing to say the least.
This could have used a little more editing as sometimes there would be an “n” right in the middle of a sentence. The wrong word would also be used. I had to re-read a few sections to make sure I was understanding what the author was really intending. That being said, it didn’t take too much away from the story.
I would only recommend this to someone over the age of 18.
Who would have thought The Noah Baker would have a brother? Scandal in a small town is never a small thing, so for Miles the “Bastard Brother” coming home to share that secret is a big thing. However not as huge as his college crush, who crushed him, coming back into his life to make amends. All at once his life is turned upside down as he finds his brother and the woman he fell for years ago.
I loved Miles and Missy, you can see their connection right away and you want them to find their way to being together. Any relationship built of friendship is sure to last so these two are just meant to be!

Miles Hennessy has a lot to deal with, a sick mom, a broken heart and a family secret. The last thing he needs is Missy, the heartbreaker, to waltz back into his life and spill the beans at the Neighbourhood Bar. Missy had messed up and when her world crumbled, she tries Miles again because she knows he still has a thing for her.
This is a good short, steamy contemporary romance between a bartender and his ex-friend from college. The characters are well developed and personable. The storyline is good, filled with forgiveness, surprises, understanding, hot sex scenes and romance. The characters grow emotionally and act more like grown ups. The sex scenes work well in the storyline. This romance left me feeling good and wanting to read the next book in the series.

Rekindled friendships in this case makes the better relationship. The history is there to build on and proof that life does point you in the right direction when you least it to.

This is the 2nd book I have read from Tarrah Anders and still I haven’t been disappointed.
Your Neighbourhood Bastard, this one is about Miles, he knew Missy way back when. She hurt him, and as a result the tries to move on with his life without her.(sort of, out of sight out of mind!) Missy, well she’s trying to apologise for being the nasty spoilt little rich girl that she portrayed. So she goes to the bar where he works to try to make amends.
Will that ever happen? Will the misunderstandings be sorted out? Read the one and find out.
Her life is now down in the toilet and she wants to find the one man who could help but she also hurt him. He has a lot in his plate and a secret that others do not. He is still in just with her. What will happen? Can they make amends? See how they get on

Miles works for the Neighborhood bar and so happens to work for his half-brother Noah, but Noah does not know that Miles is his brother nor that his father had cheated on his mother and went to visit Miles all those years. Missy comes to town to hopefully reconnect with Miles but Miles is not happy to see her since she had talked trash about him when they were in college and Miles never forgot. Miles gives Missy a chance since he has always liked her but he liked this new Missy much better and Missy lets the secret out..How will Noah react?

This is the second installment in The Neighborhood series and, I think, even better than the first. Plot twists and turns were hotter and even more fun. The steam between Miles and Missy made Valerie and Noah look almost tame. 🙂 Not matter how you slice it though both of these quick reads are worthy of your time. I look forward to the rest of the series.

This is the 3rd book I’ve read written by Tarrah Anders; she has done a great job at writing a good short story; I can’t wait to read more of her books.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.
I loved the chemistry between the characters.

An entertaining, emotionally deep, and interesting fast pace romance! It is wonderfully written; a shocking secret is revealed, forgiveness is sought and obtained, and a second chance is given. The characters are sweet and likeable; the chemistry between them is off the charts. Definitely recommended!

A Bastard but in what way?
Your Neighborhood Bastard is the second book in The Neighborhood series by Tarrah Anders. It background of this story is The Neighborhood bar in Mercy. We first met Miles, or at least got to read a bit about him, in the first book in the series. j
Miles is a bartender at The Neighborhood bar and works alongside Noah, who owns the place. One night Miles has a very unexpected woman asking for him – Missy. Now Missy is a former friend from college. As it turns out Miles graduated college and instead of staying in “the city” he moved back home to take care of his mother who has MS. It also turns out that there is another reason why Miles moved home and got a job at the bar. But that is for later.
Missy is the ubiquitous beautiful, rich and completely unobtainable girl that Miles crushed on throughout college. For some reason they became really good friends that was deeper than most. But it never went to the physical side. Then one day Miles overheard Missy say something stupid to her other friends, the snotty rich type, that made him turn his back on her. He never talked with her about it but instead stopped returning her calls and walked right by her on campus.
Missy has moved to Mercy after having lost everything…………Daddy did a bad bad thing and Mom does not appear to be in her life. All of her so called friends also pulled away and Missy seems to be on her own. But the one thing that she remembers is “being herself” when she was with Miles. So she moved to Mercy and would like to be friends. But we all know that being “friends” with a bartender when adding in shots can lead to other things. In this case it does but “it does not mean anything”, at least for Miles. Or so this boy thinks as he is definitely waging a war inside of himself with his long buried feelings for Missy. Darn there are those pesky feelings again!!
The Neighborhood Bastard is an entertaining story that those some interesting curve balls along the way. I loved the crankiness of Miles’s mother as she was a hoot. Missy was a good character who was stripped back to her bare self and is trying to figure out who she really is now. Miles is a small town boy who is a good son but holds a major secret. I enjoyed reading this short and funny story.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
Your Neighborhood Bastard is a short, steamy story about Miles & Missy. They were friends in the past that had potential to be more… but their time has come now. The story had great character development and moved quickly. It was easy and fun to read!
