Three reasons why rebound s-e-x with my hot neighbor is a very bad idea.

1.My life is already complicated enough 2.He knows I wear Batman undies (please don’t ask) 3.He’s older, sophisticated, and so hot he makes me weak at the knees

I know that’s more than three. But it still didn’t stop me.

On paper, we’re the worst kind of match. He’s rich. I’m . . . not. My second job is pet sitting! He says we’re friends. I say barely, but I do love those benefits . . . The man rocks my world, But he’s so not the one. Which is unfortunate, Because he is the the one who got me pregnant.

Disclaimer: This is not (just) a story about accidental pregnancy. It’s a story about accidental love.

 

My Review:

I am at a perfect loss for words. I just don’t know what to say about this book that won’t give away all the best parts and be more in depth than “I loved every word of it”. Miranda is fiercely independent and uproariously feisty. She’s also pretty sure she doesn’t believe there’s any such thing as true love anymore. James is the hot older guy next door. But that description doesn’t even begin to scratch his surface. (I’m just afraid that if I go much deeper than that I’m going to give away the whole story.) I loved this pair together. They broke my heart and then with hilarity and love they put it back together again. The snarky wit and sniping banter had me howling laughter to the point that my sides ache and I still haven’t completely caught my breath. And did I see inklings of the next pairing on the horizon? I hope so because those two secondary characters pretty regularly ran away with the show and I would love to learn more about them. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author through Bad Boy Update.
