The Playboy Next Door

received an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review

A slow burn at first but built up to be pretty, uh, spicy 4.5 rounded uP

Brandon and Rachel share a duplex, and have a love/hate relationship. Sharing the same type of dog helps open doors and a friendship begins. A lot of back and forth, dating others, fighting, making up, etc. makes for a fun book and one that was hard to put down for the most part. May just be my age 50+ but at times found the swearing a bit much and not needed. Also would have liked to know more about her ex since it was built up a bit in the story. Minor though overall, and would recommend this book.

When Rachel moved into her new home she tried hard to resist the player next door but Brandon isn't going to be that easily discouraged Soon they become friends and then it progresses but her ex is still in the picture by his own invitation Can they have a future together You will have to read top see

This is a story that flows well yes Brandon is all alpha and a little pigheaded but Rachel is just as strong a character together they are volatile

The Playboy Next Door is an interesting erotic romance by Sandra A. Sigfusson, with witty dialogue, exceedingly attractive characters, and jam-packed with twists and turns along the way. Brandon comes across as cocky and self-assured, but really has huge heart and good intentions. And while Rachel seems hard-headed, she’s deeply emotional and looking for a real relationship without all the drama of her past endeavours. Their chemistry is undeniable, and the path their union takes, is believable and nicely paced. I really enjoyed the storyline, scorching physicality and comedic moments too. I look forward to reading more from this author.

I liked the pace from the author too - it was a great read overall and one I would definitely recommend as it is certainly worth reading!

It is 5 stars from me for this one - very highly recommended!!

This romance is exactly as described, a bit of steamy fun that starts off with slightly annoyed neighbors who find their HEA together. The characters weren't as mature or well-developed as I would prefer, but the story flows nicely and kept me entertained throughout. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

When Rachel moves into her new home, she meets Brandon, her sexy neighbor. Under stress of ending a relationship, moving into a new home, Rachel is not prepared for Brandon and thus they keep getting into spats ever time they meet providing some funny laugh out loud situations for us.
Brandon is not willing to ignore their attraction so easily and slowly begins to get into Rachel’s good graces and they finally become best friends. But then Rachel’s ex boyfriend comes back in picture, how will Brandon win over her now ?
The playboy next door is a hot, charming and funny read. Like Rachel I didn’t really like Brandon at the start but slowly he won me over. Their emotions though a little over the top felt real. I enjoyed the storyline and all the funny and hot moments.

This was an interesting, yet strange story for me. I really loved Brandon in the beginning, when his relationship with his older neighbor was described... He really seemed nice & caring. However, when he first met Rachel, his persona seemed to change (what kind of person asks a woman if she’s in the middle of her monthly “shark week”?)... *sigh*

As she goes out with her ex again (who just isn’t good enough for her), that’s when the story gets interesting... Both seem to be a bit interested in the other. Brandon seems nicer here (although a bit self centered... for example, he believes he’s just as good looking as models in fashion shows... a little humility would go a long way here). Whereas Rachel is trying to deal with her boyfriend who just seems jealous & untrustworthy.

They seem to be better when they finally get together. At times they seem to be quite immature, though... For example, he wonders if he should tell her that he didn’t use protection & she wonders if instead of getting tested, maybe she should just trust him more. Or when she sees the value of her side of the duplex is 750k, they seem to discover that both sides must be worth 1.5 m (which is just logical, really).

However, as a couple, they seem to fit well together. I thought for sure that all the misfortunes (the fire, the car accident, the lost ring) would have been caused directly (or indirectly) by Rachel’s ex (maybe with help from Cheryl, esp. when she mentioned her car’s bumper had been damaged... just like Rachel’s car was damaged), but I was wrong... It’s nice to be surprised.

I liked the story of neighbors with an antagonistic beginning that later morphed into something completely opposite and delightful.There was no love lost at the start, not only between these neighbors ,but between Brandon and my initial view of him.His behavior was detestable for the childishness and churlishness of it even while fighting not to chuckle quietly at the ridiculousness of it.Rachel on the other hand ,I found to be a bit too gullible and trusting where a second chance ,much less a second glance was not only unwarranted but foolish.By the end of the book I was cheering for both Brandon and Rachel while seriously channeling an hex on the ex.The story flowed with comic relief and some steamy interludes and was an overall light , entertaining read. The review for this ARC provided by Netgalley was presented without bias.

First book from this author that I have read and I really enjoyed it. Brandon and Rachel were a good couple. I really liked the chemistry between them. What started out as being neighbors was able to turn into something much more real. They had their differences but they were able to work them out to get the HEA they both needed and deserved.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

The Playboy Next Door by Sandra A. Sigfusson a new to me author that I hope to read more books by. A spicy read with likable characters, great character development and dialogue.

Sandra A. Sigfusson gave me exactly what I was looking for today. I wanted a light sexy entertaining read and The Playboy Next Door fit the bill quite well. The premise of neighbors in a duplex and the trials and tribulations of shared wall space made for a meet cute. The hero and heroine, though immature at the start, experience growth throughout the novel. I respect the author for making me care about the happily ever after of the couple. Ms. Sigfusson writes with humor and I appreciated the settings and situations in which she placed her characters. The love scenes were well placed and served to move the story along, always a plus. I would read more from the author.
3.5 I received my copy through NetGalley under no obligation.
