Listening to the third one in the "Neighbor from Hell" series.

(Read in August 2015 and March 2016)

Connor & Rory

Read this if you want childhood enemies to professional rivals to lovers, just a touch of forced proximity as well

They do not have boundaries, they have committed many *many* crimes against each other. Frankly, it's a miracle neither of them was imprisoned for a prolonged period of time.

Overuse of hot cocoa, it got the the point where I wanted to block and erase those words and also never drink one ever again.

I greatly enjoyed the first story in this series, but they seem to be going downhill the further I get into this series.

***ZERO stars***

Who the fuck wants to read about an abusive, sexist piece of shit as he harasses and abuses the lead female until she... I don't even know what. Finally succumbs to Stockholm Syndrome and decides she likes him?

Fuck this book. This shit is why women date people like Donald Trump.

Start un-brainwashing yourselves, women.

"Checkmate" je jako zabavna knjiga, kao što sam i očekivala. Često sam se smejala.
Rory je jaka žena i ne trpi nikakva sra*a od Connora otkad su bili deca. Sad su oboje odrasli i imaju zabrane od skoro svakog javnog mesta zbog njihovog međusobnog prepucavanja. Kad spominjem zabrane, braća Bredford i njihove žene su se vratili! :)

Connor: "Push me and you might just find yourself locked in the trunk of a car and on a ferry headed off to Nova Scotia. . . again" he said softly loving the way she practically shook with rage against him.
"I knew that was you, you bastard" She snarled, looking torn between going for his nipples again or just out right killing him.
"You deserved it", he felt obligated to remind her.
She scoffed. "I was twelve!"
"You super glued my shorts to my ass!"
The smile that teased her lips transformed her face from beautiful to breathtakingly beautiful in a matter of seconds. . .
She chuckled softly as she moved to put a little space between them. "I actually forgot about that".

In the previous 2 books, the guys were jerks at the onset, but they had redeeming qualities. Connor has the jerk part down but lacks in the redeeming qualities. To be fair, Rory is a jerk to him as well. I don't mind the harmless jokes and antagonizing but sometimes those pranks involve work and the possibility of losing jobs. That's not entertainment -- that's 2 people making very sad decisions.

As with the last book, things turned around a bit and I ended up being OK with them as a couple. But seriously -- they are cruel to each other. On the upside -- the Bradfords are once again involved.
