“Grumpy next-door neighbor. That's one of my favorite tropes."


This book really pulled my heart strings. What an emotional rollercoaster of a book. Knox I loved you, then hated you and then loved you again. 

So happy they all got their happy ending

Only thing that ruined if for me was the amount of characters confused me. I lost track of who everyone was. 

Oh and that I made me cry loads ha!

This is what I’m asking when I say spicy especially since there was a plot and steamy romance. I can’t wait to read the next book.

I’ve seen many people say they hated this book, I was shocked. This book is one of my few 5 star reads. It is absolutely amazing, it had me laughing in one chapter, crying the next, and blushing the one after that. It has the mystery, the drama, the spice, and the romance. Absolutely amazing.

Nothing groundbreaking, but still solid. There are plenty of flirty conversations a tightly written plot and a colourful cast of supporting characters so I had a really good time with this. It left me feeling all warm and fuzzy (as good romance tries to do.) 

There was the occasional bit of dialogue/character name etc that made me cringe but it did what it set out to do so I've got no REAL problems with it.

🇳🇱: toen ik aan dit boek begon, had ik er eigenlijk niet zoveel zin in, omdat hij zo dik is. Toen ik eenmaal begonnen was had ik hier totaal geen last van. Het begin verliep in mijn mening wat langdradig en het duurde even voordat ik erin zat, maar toen ik erin zat was het goed. Knox is echt een kan van mijn hart en bevat alles wat ik in een grumpy man zoek. Ook Naomi was geweldig, zij was de typisch sunshine die elke grumpy VS sunshine trope nodig heeft. Hun romance paste ook echt goed bij het verhaal. Het was een slowburn romance, maar dat vond ik juist heel goed bij dit boek passen. Het boek zit buiten spice en romance ook boordevol actie en avontuur, dit zorgde ervoor dat mijn aandacht steeds opnieuw getrokken werd. Al met al een top boek en echt een aanrader (al had hij van mij iets korter gemogen en dan vooral het begin).

🇬🇧: When I started this book, I wasn't really looking forward to it because it's so thick. Once I started, I didn't have any problems with this at all. The beginning was a bit long-winded in my opinion and it took a while to get into it, but once I got into it it was good. Knox is truly my heart and has everything I look for in a grumpy man. Naomi was also great, she was the quintessential sunshine that every grumpy VS sunshine trope needs. Their romance really fit the story well too. It was a slow-burn romance, but I thought that suited this book very well. In addition to spice and romance, the book is also packed with action and adventure, which attracted my attention again and again. All in all, a great book and highly recommended (although I would have liked it to be a little shorter, especially the beginning).
