Christmas from Hell (Neighbor from Hell, #7) By R.L. Mathewson

Christmas from Hell by R.L. Mathewson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I just love This series and the Bradfords are to die for XD

I liked the idea of them going from someone you hate to someone you can't stop thinking about, especially in Duncan's face.

- I love her Grandpa, even if they keep denying it I Bet there was a Bradford's blood in his veins from once upon a time XD because he seriously just fit in with the lot of them XD

- Though I would say that I expected more from Duncan, but I feel the humor of the Bradfords are lessening with each book, the first five or so were funny, like Jason and Trevor were hilarious, and then Danny was just cute with him being the serious type and huge macho guy to boot but then like any respectable Bradford he gets grumpy and pouty over food XD and when I started first reading this book I expected the same since Duncan seemed like Danny the serious kind, but he was a bit boring to be honest, except the types he acted like a Bradford.

- At first he was a good guy but with asshole tendencies like when he used to hate being around her just because she was a klutz but I liked how he started to notice and I agree with him cause she does sound like a cute character.

- I liked the romantic gataway XD here they showed their true characters XD

Since the last book I thought this one would be about Reese, but it looks like he will be later on

I'm looking forward for more of the Bradfords XD

Overall, *thumps up*

Double Dare (Neighbor from Hell, #6) By R.L. Mathewson

Double Dare by R.L. Mathewson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

It was god yet it wasn't THAT good, not like the previous ones, but I don't want to sound harsh cause it had it's hilarious moments.

- I really felt sorry for Darrin, he was so devoted to her since they met at 7, and I can't believe he spent 6 yrs having sex with her, but not holding her hand in public. I hated when he finally acknowledge he was a fuck buddy so far, where at the beginning he thought of it as some weird relationship, not just platonic sex. I he just keeps getting a blow after the other, I think how Marybeth treating him was a bit high-handed but I guess that's her way of avoiding the issue and sticking up for herself, and they both grew up on that kind of relationship, so I guess they are used to it. But if I had a guy like Darrin who would do anything for me I won't leave him for the world, I guess that's a Bradford trait after they find their woman.

- I looooooooved the gay thing with the mom, it reached to the degree where she was trying to find a guy for him, it just Hhhhhh XD

- Jason and Trevor in the last couple books, seems to have upgraded their occupation to matchmakers and marriage consultants, its funny but in a way I think they d it because they are happy with their families and they want the people they care about to be happy as well. In a Bradford kind of way.

- I loved the parts where Jodi and Danny were mentioned, especially at the ending, it was AMAZING XD

- Hated the whole fight in the book, they kept on let's cut this bullshit and have a serious talk and they just fight and not talk, I almost despaired about their situation and when will they make up and end it, and it didn't happen till the very ending, and because of it I had to do some skimming.

- Can't wait for the next book, I'm curious about who Reese will end up with I just hope it's not the one who was mentioned in this book, because from all accounts she sounded like a bitch.

Overall, *thumps side-ways*

The Game Plan (Neighbor from Hell, #5) By R.L. Mathewson

The Game Plan by R.L. Mathewson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It was a good story, and I have to say it was the one with the most emotions involved in the whole series.

Danny looked like a Bradford but he didn't have such intense Bradford habits, like the food obsession with him was shallow and less intense, the cockiness in him made an appearance couple of ties in the book, and he didn't have the Bradford gasp I so adore. Plus he was waaaaay gentlemanly and sweet, in his tooooooooooooooooooo slow wooing, but I loved all the adorable kisses he gave her.

Tinkerbell was another matter, there are things about her that still doesn't make sense to me, she's close to her dad but doesn't want to talk to him, she almost got married to an asshole just cause she thought he was the only one who wanted her. First her there wasn't any mention f anyone thinking that she might not make it n her own if she told her dad so why didn't she? Second she was the one sending the sisterly vibe and Danny obviously wants her, and like in the book when he asked himself why the asshole and not him? Anyway Tink was fun, I liked how she was a little demon who "thought" that she was a pacifist, I loved the scene at the paintball place, and I love when she gets all high after any kind of medication. I loved the difference between the big guy and his tiny Tinkerbell it was adorable.

This is the only book in this series that made me cried, I cried when Danny realized she left, when he had his outburst, when he had to go to the hospital, how she fought with teeth and nail to be with him, even in her drugged state, I cried when he had the talk with his dad, then with his Tink and later when they got back to their home. And the Tinkerbell tat was a bit ... I have to say much but still cute, Much cause I can't pictured a huge muscled guy with a Tinkerbell tattoo, and cute because he's obviously so into her.

Overall, *thumps up*

Truce: The Historic(Neighbor from Hell, #4) By R.L. Mathewson

Truce: The Historic Neighbor from Hell by R.L. Mathewson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Well this certainly was different. I liked it, even though it was different from the previous ones in this series. For one the main guy wasn't that arrogant and funny.

(Gonna keep it short since I'm sleepy)

- I think the main guy Robert was my favorite character in here. He was funny for some moments in the book, but was serious most of the time. He was the first with the food obsession that became a Bradford signature.

- I loved how he and the heroine kept at it, like the 3rd book in this series the couple were childhood nemesis, and to see them chasing each other even in their twenties was hilarious.

- I liked the heroine, and how she banters with the hero, and how she eats like the hero XD

- I loved the part when they took off to America which was nearing the end, it was the beginning of the hero showing his true Bradford kettle, the one we are used to from the cute overly huge food-obsessed handsome me.

- Loved the necklace tradition.

- Hated their families, except specific siblings

- Loved their moments together

Overall, *thumps up* and good nights *lights out for me*

Checkmate (Neighbor from Hell, #3) By R.L. Mathewson

Checkmate by R.L. Mathewson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Now I'm wishing I own a place and go check if I have a hot guy as a neighbor, and if I was lucky and my mind still in the clouds he might end up being a Bradford XD

Since the beginning I was mulling over where do the Bradfords come in to the story, since not one of the main couples last name is a Bradford, turns out they were related, anyway the way the Bradford got introduced in here was so amusing the I had my own shit eating grin XD

At first I thought of Connor as an asshole cause why couldn't he just leave her the heck alone, but man how I loved him, he was so sweet and good and he had her back for most of her life without her knowing, I really wished she knew. Also At first I was pissed about his arrogant claim and how easily he thought he was gonna steal her employees and shut down her business, but thankfully he confronted her with some truth. True that the beginning of their relationship was bumpy since he blackmailed her in to it, and how they used their deal as a buffer so that they don't admit wanting to get closer, but when he finally spelled his guts and told her that he loved her, to me that's when everything started. And oh boy how he cared, and spoiled her, I was really jealous.

In Rory's case she was a hardcore tough-assed woman, I liked her Hot Chocolate addiction since I'm one myself but maybe not as intensely as her. I from time to time had conflicting emotions regarding Rory, for a minute I would think she's mean then I would feel sorry for her then I would be proud of her and happy, which really interesting. What I liked about her the most was how thoughtful she was like the donation thing, but her problem was over stubbornness and over self-reliance.

- I personally Loved the Pranks and problems they played on each other.

- I loved the Bradfords scenes, and missed Jason and Trevor

- I think Connor was the sweetest hero so far ^^

- And for a change this couple talked before they fucked up not the other way around like the previous couples.

Overall, *thumps up*

Perfection (Neighbor from Hell, #2) By R.L. Mathewson

Perfection by R.L. Mathewson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This series keeps getting better and better ^^ (Today one colleague of mine laughed at me because I kept laughing and trying to stifle my giggles with no success)

Liked the Heroine, but in my books she needs a huge boost in self-esteem, since hers is down bottom. Unlike the previous heroine, this one didn't like her figure and wasn't comfortable in it, but thankfully there was couple who thought differently. I liked how she handles the hero and manipulate him in a way, and her puppy conv's XD and personally I thought she was a cute drunk.

The Hero was a totally different matter, for one he's a Bradford, and like in restaurants that should explain it all XD well his food obsession is less intense than the previous hero but still so amusing. The thing I like most about the Bradfords is their reactions or better is their Overreaction, especially when their is food involved, with all the gasps and clutching the heart and the betrayal thing, I just keep n clutching my stomach from the pain of over-laughter XD

- I liked how in this book Jason (the previous hero) was introduced to the heroine XD

- I liked how they started their agreement *sneering*

- I loved when Trevor FINALLY punched that asshole and it was and in front of Zoe no less

- I liked how Jared and his brother (the uncles of the hero) took her right in, it was so cute to watch older men take care and fawn over their new daughter-in-law (view spoiler)[especially after they new she was carrying his baby (hide spoiler)] XD

- The competitive atmosphere with all the Bradfords regarding food is pretty intense and interesting.

Overall, *thumps up*

Playing for Keeps (Neighbor from Hell, #1) By R.L. Mathewson

Playing for Keeps by R.L. Mathewson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book has instantly jumped to my favorite list

It has the best combination there is, I honestly found it by accident then received recommendations from my GR friends about it, and THANK THE LORD I found it!!! it's just that amazing and cool plus it was so funny I had a hard time not to laugh when I was at work today, and you could rarely see me without a smile today.

The Heroine was a kick-ass kind of woman, the kind I was be like except with her stubborn and over dramatic way regarding her hurt feelings because of the hero, in my case I would have went another direction. I liked how comfortable she was with the hero after their tumbling start, weeeeell the five years they knew each other before they got to know each other doesn't count in my book. I liked the ball game scene and how he kept saving her from assholes of dates. I felt she was cool in her casual way, and kinda get her, cause I'm also like the black sheep of the family (The female part) and they keep at me like they kept at her, with her looks and weight and all that bullshit. Anyway, I found her so natural and instantly lovable, especially that carnival scene you can clearly see that she went all out there XD

The hero in my books is so adorable and cute that it truthfully tops the hotness in him (shocking I know XD) but who can blame me after reading this book. It mainly was about his food obsession, he was cute in every scene any food was mentioned in that I just couldn't help loving him. One thing I felt sorry for him was how everyone kept saying that he wasn't good enough for her, her family and his. I loved how he got her back with the idiots who wanted to score with the heroine, but his ways doing those were a bit extreme and funny and he kinda deserved the shaving XD The scenes I love the most is when he fights over the food, either with his friends, or dad, especially his dad, I kinda wanted to cuddle them all. I liked how he tried to get her to understand at the end that they are supposed to be together, how desperate he was, but at the time to tell the truth she was a bitch. But later she was WOW, the chair scene at the end in my books got the message through that she and him are one for always.

- Loved the Grandma

- Loved the fighting scene between him and his best friend over her, and at the end his friend told him he better kick his ass cause he can't stop ogling her XD

- Fell in love with the epilogue, this one was totally my type, the type that shows that they lived happily for a long long long time. I liked how the kids were exactly like him, how he felt betrayed when they didn't share the food with him, how his best friend got together with her best friend.

Overall, *thumps up* totally worth the read, and gets a big recommendation from me ^^
