"The Dream Guy Next Door" delivered all the feels with its cheeky British MMC and spirited FMC. The chemistry was electric, especially with some spicy moments toward the end. This was my first read from this author, and I can’t wait to explore more of her work!

I loved January and Liam! January is such a fun delight with her daughter Wednesday. She’s a lady carpenter who is very much a straight shooter. The banter she has with Liam and her daughter provided me with some of the best laughs. Liam was a real treat as well. He has an interesting backstory as a single dad. Seeing their relationship go from friendly sidekicks to something more provided me with great enjoyment. If you want a fun lighthearted read, look no further!
The Dram Guy Next Door is book 5 of the “Guys Who Got Away” series by author Lauren Blakely. It is a standalone romance. Dual POV with a HEA.
Tropes:
✔️ forced proximity because… neighbors
✔️ British hero, new in town veterinarian
✔️ single parents
✔️ carpenter heroine
✔️ small town with a glitter factory and a ton of women positive relationships
Single mother and carpenter extraordinaire January is happy with her career and her great relationship with her fifteen-year-old daughter Wednesday.
She isn’t looking for love or a relationship until a sexy single father, veterinarian with the sexiest British accent moves in next door.
Because Liam Harris IS looking for love and marriage, January decides to do the nice neighborly thing and be his dating guru. They can’t deny the attraction and incredible connection they’ve developed, but as they start to fall, can the also find a common ground for a future together?
It was such a treat watching Liam and January’s romance. From their fun, snarky and sexy banter, to their honest conversations about their hopes and dreams.
I loved January’s relationship with her daughter. Liam’s desire to be the best father he can and not miss a thing was incredibly endearing. January’s strength and independence was admirable, and together they were just so perfect I couldn’t help but fall for them too.
The Dream Guy Next Door gave me all the warm fuzzies.

This was a fun romantic comedy! But it also had some added depth to it with January and Liam's lives and the trials they have faced. I adored their dry humor and how everything comes to together is a somewhat messy way. Life usually isn't a perfect equation and I feel like this book highlighted that while also still having a happy ending.
