Neighbor Dearest

De: Penelope Ward

Narrado por: Erin Mallon

The New York Times Bestseller!

An epic STANDALONE friends-to-lovers story that does NOT need to be listened to in conjunction with any other book.

After getting dumped, the last thing I needed was to move next door to someone who reminded me of my ex-boyfriend, Elec.

Damien was a hotter version of my ex. The neighbor I’d dubbed “Angry Artist” also had two massive dogs that kept me up with their barking. He wanted nothing to do with me. Or so I thought until one night I heard laughter coming through an apparent hole in my bedroom wall.

Damien had been listening to all of my phone sessions with my therapist. The sexy artist next door now knew all of my deepest secrets and insecurities. We got to talking. He set me straight with tips to get over my breakup. He became a good friend, but Damien made it clear that he couldn’t be anything more. Problem was, I was falling hard for him anyway. And as much as he pushed me away, I knew he felt the same…because his heartbeat didn’t lie.

I thought my heart had been broken by Elec, but it was alive and beating harder than ever for Damien. I just hoped he wouldn’t shatter it for good.

Another Great Book

I love Penelope’s books. Always entertaining and keeps a great flow. Would highly recommend. Erin Mallon did a great job as usual with narrating both female/male voices.

Good read

More references than most on religious faith. Otherwise, a great, easy, sweet read. The narrator is a little whinny and weak sounding to me. This character wasn’t that weak so the voice didn’t match exactly.

Sweet

I wish this story told us what Elec said to Chelsey when he arrived back to CA. I loved this story and how Chelsey found her HEA. I adored the double d’s. These are wonderful, fun stories.

Great story about trying to fight for true love.

I loved this book! The storyline was great. There were times in the book that made me laugh. I enjoyed this book so much because it really made you feel like you were one of the characters trying to get to know someone you were interested in.we’ve all been there in life falling for someone and questioning why. The amount of excitement and heartache that goes along with it. It had some great erotic scenes, but this book was mostly the story of two people getting to know each other.

“From the very beginning, even when you were pushing me away, I felt like I belonged to you.”

I really liked Chelsea in Stepbrother Dearest, so I loved seeing her get the hea she deserves.

Damien was everything. I absolutely loved him and his needy dogs. I loved how he felt about Chelsea and how he always tried to do what was best for her, even if it meant him getting hurt in the process.

I absolutely loved the connection between them, how they helped each other heal and overcome their fears. Erin Mallon did a great job bringing all the characters and their emotions to life in this solo narration.

Quote: “I used to be afraid of the prospect of dying, but I had somehow accepted it, spent my days painting pictures of all the places I believed I’d never get to see. But things are different now. I can’t seem to accept it anymore. Now, I just want to live. My will to live is stronger than my fear of death now... because of you. You’re the reason I want to live so badly.”
