BAD NEIGHBOR is book one in an untitled series by erotic
author M. O'Keefe, the alter ego of romance author Molly
O'Keefe. O'Keefe IS all that and a bag of chips. She is
the queen of angsty romance that puts the reader through
the wringer. I always come out the other side of said
wringer emotionally satisfied and happy, though. I will
buy anything that O'Keefe writes, because I know it will be
amazing -- she always keeps me coming back for more.
BAD NEIGHBOR is written in alternating first person
points of view. This is great, because both Jesse and
Charlotte are tortured characters. It really helps to be
able to see into each one's brain to see what they are
thinking, and how they are processing all the messed up
things that happen to them, individually and together.
Jesse Herrera is an underground fighter. His brother is
working as a hitman for a prominent local criminal lord in
order to work off the huge debt that Jesse's father left
his sons after his death. Jesse is grumpy and
foul mouthed. I love him.
Charlotte provides a lot of lighter touches in the book,
with her cheerful curtains and cute dresses. Charlotte is
an introvert who is in hiding. Charlotte sold everything
from her comfy life in order to provide her sister with
funds to escape a psychopathic ex-boyfriend. Now Charlotte
and her sister have split up and are trying to not be found
by the ex. Charlotte moves into a dingy and dangerous
apartment complex and finds herself living next door to a
surly but super-hot neighbor, Jesse.
Cue the portentous music. Both Charlotte and Jesse know
that they present a danger to each other, but they are
drawn together like moths to a flame. It's a short book,
only 225 pages, so they do fall into bed pretty rapidly.
But wow, the sexual tension is off the charts, and the sex
scenes will leave you drenched. BAD NEIGHBOR is a lovely
story of a sexy anti-hero and sweet introvert saving each
other. Book two will be THE BAD BOY'S SECRET BABY. It's
about Charlotte's sister, it's coming in May 2017, and I
expect it will be a rush as well -- I can't wait to get my
hands on it!
He's sexy...
He's dangerous...
He's right next door.
I gave up everything to save my sister from a monster, and
now I’m lying low in this rundown apartment so I can stay
out of danger. Hiding from everyone.
Except for the guy in apartment 1A.
He’s rude. Silent. Muscled, mysterious, and hot as hell. I
don’t know if he likes me or hates me, but the more time I
spend with him, the less it matters.
I want him.
And for the first time in my life I'm going to go after what
I want.
She doesn’t belong in my world.
From the second 1B moves in, I know she’s keeping secrets.
She doesn’t belong here, much less with a street fighter
like me.
But that doesn’t stop me from craving her. Her softness and
sweetness. She’s a drug, and suddenly I’m addicted.
I know someone is going to try and hurt her and I can’t let
that happen. But unless I push her away and get her out of
my world, that someone could be me…
