Playing for Keeps by R.L. Mathewson Review

Playing for Keeps by R.L. Mathewson

Series: A Neighbor from Hell Book 1

Synopsis

Done with being the world’s biggest pushover, Haley decides that things are going to start changing. The first thing that she was going to do was to put a stop to all the crap that her aggravating neighbor put her through. What she hadn’t expected was to be sucked into his world, but Haley has a game plan and she won’t let herself forget what the bad boy next door is capable of.

The last thing that Jason expected was for his shy little neighbor to go Rambo on him over some ruined flowers, but he quickly got over it once he realized exactly what he’d been missing. After he decides to take her under his wing, he can’t help but notice how nicely she fits in his life. Now the only thing left to do was to convince her that this is anything but a game.

*Author’s Note:
There is no rape in any way, shape or form in this book. That is one thing that readers will never have to worry about reading in any of my books. Haley does in fact save herself for the right man and since that man is a Bradford, I’m sure that many readers would agree that she made an excellent decision 😉

I picked this book up when it was free on Amazon a few weeks ago. All opinions are completely my own.

My Review

If you are looking for a funny, sweet, romantic comedy – look no further than Playing for Keeps.

How can you live next to someone for years, work with them, and never really know them? Haley and Jason do just that, but when circumstances present themselves can they actually be friends? Or something more?

Jason (a.k.a. The Food Slut) is Haley’s neighbor and they are both teachers at the same school. It seems like a comedy of errors once they start interacting with each other.

Playing for Keeps kept me laughing, hoping, and I may have swooned a bit.
