The Deal

By: R.L. Mathewson

Narrated by: Grace Grant

Some people marry for love. Some marry for money.

Quinn and Dylan married for revenge.

From New York Times Bestseller author R.L. Mathewson comes a new twist in the Neighbor from Hell series, where ultimatums, fake marriages, and revenge turn into something they never saw coming.

Quinn Bradford needed to make a choice:

Get married or lose everything.

The last thing that Quinn wanted to do was get married, but thanks to the ultimatum his parents and their business partners set down, he doesn’t have a choice. He would do anything to make sure that B&T Construction didn’t end up in the hands of a spoiled brat, even marry her little sister.

She knew better than to trust her sister.

It was a mistake, one that Dylan would never make again, and the one thing that cost her everything. If Brooke had kept her promise, Dylan would have happily ignored the ultimatum, but now…

Now, she wanted revenge.

She was going to do whatever it took to make sure Brooke didn’t get her hands on B&T Construction, even if that meant marrying the man who’d been glaring at her since the unfortunate incident involving a tube of super glue and a bottle of glitter when they were little.

So, she would agree to this deal.

She would agree to his rules.

And she would do whatever it took to make sure that she didn’t fall in love with her husband.

Bradford Fan through and through

I love this series and have been reading it since the very first series was released. Such a great time hearing about Bradfords and their neighbors. Quinn and Dylan. Marriage deal trope. This series had Dylan (Quinn Bradford's love interest) having all the Bradford traits though (food lover, kidnapping Quinn to marry him, etc..). I was sad Trevor didn't make an appearance.
It was a quick read but I always feel like the NFH Series always ties things in a neat bow at the end, unlike the Pyte series (which I also love but the Pyte series always has a Cliff Hanger or unfinished business at the end which I'm not a fan of).

I did miss Fran Jules. While Grace acted (and didn't just read) which I appreciated, I had a tough time differentiating the female from the male sections without relying on "he said" or "she said". I appreciated that her voice sounded gender neutral. I still would have liked to hear some changes between the characters' parts.

Love this story

I love this story RL Mathewson is my Favorite author. I do wish Fran Jules were the narrator for this book since she’s done so many of the books from this series, something about this narrators voice or tone just didn’t fit with what was happening in this book. Romance just may not be best suited for her or it may be just my personal preference.

The Deal

I enjoyed the newest edition to the Neighbor from Hell series. However, the book could be longer, it was a short listening experience, but the storyline was fast paced and amusing. Dillion and Quinn couple continue to the antics of Neighbor from Hell to romantic couple who can't keep their off of each other. Once again, another great a edition to the book series.

New Narrator after over a dozen books

Where did Fran Jules go. I have listened to all of these books and she always does a great job then with this book we have a different narrator with a voice that doesn't fit with the rest.

So glad the Bradford are back

I was so excited to get another Bradford story as they always make me laugh. Thank you ..
