About HOW MY NEIGHBOR STOLE CHRISTMAS
A new
winter holiday, enemies-to-lovers romance, from the undeniably funny and always
spicy, USA Today bestselling author, Meghan Quinn.
Living in a year around
Christmas town has it's drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely
cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my
cave--I mean house--keeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits.
And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in
next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple
world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to
enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determine to win.
Well guess what? Over my cold-hearted body.
There was no way I was going to let her win, not after the history we'd shared.
So despite my promise to myself of never participating in the sickening
Christmas season, I entered the competition as well. That's right, I planned on
beating Storee at her own game by pretending this grump’s heart grew three
sizes this season.
And it was working until feelings between us started heating up.
We pretended to date.
We kissed.
And well, sparks flew from there.
Which led to one explosive night involving Christmas lights, the competition,
and a ladder. Don't let me convince you who stole Christmas, I think you need
to find out for yourself . . .

I’ve kind of been reading these a little backwards.
See I saw the promotions for the second generation of the Kings of Kroydon so I
thought I would binge the OG Kings before I read that one. Then I read the new
generation and realised it was the next generation of all of those kids, not
just the footballers but also the actual Kings and the Beneventi’s and so I
added all the other books to my TBR promising myself I would come back before
the next new generation novel and binge the rest. And here I am.
This one kind of overlaps Sebastian’s book so I
felt like I was on pins and needles waiting for things I knew were going to
happen but not sure of the when in this book. And Amelia and Sam were together
but not together and obviously we didn’t know what was going on with them from
Sebastian’s book, so I was trying to guess and coming up way off.
Sam was awesome and I loved how he loved the people
in his life. It was hard to reconcile him as the man who also ran THE family
with the man that loved and protected his family so fiercely. Amelia was just
as fierce in her own way, and she really was the perfect match for Sam.
I can’t wait to read the rest of this series and
all the other adjacent books, but I do feel I need to note that they absolutely
all work as standalones unless your FOMO is strong (like mine). And I really
love getting little bits and pieces of all of these guys as each book
introduces us to each of them in the eyes of their friends and family. And the
timelines are all so close that the occasional crossover is just icing on the
cookie.
Oh, and this one I listened to on audible which was
awesome. But having them all on KU is another cherry on top. Can’t wait for
Scarlett's book next.
I
feel like I've waited for this book forever. Luckily for me I picked up this
series about halfway in, so I haven't been waiting as long as some but from the
first introduction to the Eden's I was hooked. And having to wait for the
lovely Devney to write them was akin to torture in my brain. As soon as this
one was released, I grabbed it on audible so I could listen to it while still
adulting.
The
narration was awesome. I love dual narration. I have to admit since it has been
a minute since I read the last one it did take me a few chapters to get up to
speed on Vera. Then it all hit me like a freight train, and I was completely
immersed in finding out more. Obviously, I knew her secrets and back story from
Vance but to hear it from her was heartbreaking.
The
blurb on this also tripped me up. Because I knew Matteo and kind of knew his story,
but I had this image in my head of him being cold and uninterested in Vera from
the way I interpreted it. Then the book started, and I didn't get the feelings
I was expecting. Matteo was so there, and I couldn't get enough of him.
Plus,
I love that Vera saw Matteo so beautifully yet was so clueless at the same
time. Although the same was true for Matteo. So, once they got on the same page
it was beautiful. The whole relationship progressed so perfectly I couldn't
find fault in any of it. There was no drama or misunderstanding.
The
way everything was tied up with her father was super cute. Not the perfect
romantic ending you might expect but just beautiful closure of the chapter. And
I loved the epilogue, but that bonus epilogue was the perfect cherry on the
top. Thankfully I still have a few of Devney’s other books on my TBR so I won't
go crazy waiting to see what's up next now that our Eden's are all done. Next
generation wouldn't be a bad idea though, just saying.
It's
been so long and so many books since I read the original generation of this
author that I honestly read this as a standalone. I really wouldn't have even
known that this was a second generation except I was absolutely besotted with
the first generation and getting sprinkles of them through this was like a
cherry on top.
But
Gigi and Ryder were their own special flavour of awesome. Although I'll admit
this did start out a little shaky for me, I think that was because I was
listening to the audio version, and it took me a minute to get my head around
all the different characters. And with the general storyline I kept getting
confused as to who was friends with whom and if they were in on the different
things going on.
I
liked the fact these guys were young and in college and actually acted like twenty-year-olds
finding themselves. They made mistakes and they learnt from them. And once they
got over the misunderstandings they talked like adults and got on with it. A
few times Gigi made decisions I didn't like but I could see where she was
coming from. Plus, she owned her actions and didn't try to make excuses.
The
pacing felt a little rushed and there were a lot of details I could have done
without. I'm guessing that is in part to set the stage for the next books in
the series and I'm definitely going to be adding them to the TBR as soon as
they are announced.
I
grabbed this book on KU forever ago when I had my big girl panties on and then
wussed out. But since I'd also added the Audible whisper sync it jumped out at
me today when I was looking for something to make adulting less painful.
And
man was that a terrible choice. Because while I expected a somewhat angsty enemies
to lovers book I did not expect to be crying like a baby for half of the book.
So my adulting was a lot more half-arsed than intended and I spent the last few
hours hiding in my room with my headphones.
Stone
was a really hard read. I thought the dual point of view would have more Stone
so I didn't really feel like I had a good grasp on where he was at. He had
moments of possessiveness where I was sure he was completely invested. Then he
would be walking away or just didn't seem to care and I would be wanting his
point of view so badly. When we finally got it I was so excited and it was
everything.
Dusty
just broke my heart. She just could not catch a break and I completely
understood her attempts at protecting herself. Her whole history was one thing
after another but it did have moments of light. And watching Stone trying to
bring that light to her, with her so firmly holding him at arms length made me
like him more.
Those
epilogues were great and I am so glad I picked this up today even if I did end
up with red eyes.
This
book just reinforces the fact I have no chill. I have been anxiously awaiting
this since I read the epilogue in the last one and was going to grab it from
KU. Then I got my subscription email from the talented Devney Perry and saw it
was already available on audible. So, I bought it and listened to it in one
sitting. #sorrynotsorry.
Lyla
has always been a stable, level-head in the Eden family and was very easy to
like from a distance without much thought. So having her as the heroine and
getting a more in-depth look into her was beautiful. She was so level-headed
and realistic and looked at things logically while still acknowledging that she
felt all the feels. I loved her.
I
have to admit Vance started on the back foot a little with me, but I quickly
got over my reservations and fell in love with him too. He was so upfront, and
no BS and I enjoyed the fact he just put it out there but with the utmost
respect for everyone else and how they might feel or react.
I
did figure out pretty quickly the twist, but I didn't see it playing out quite
how it did. Although I did enjoy watching it happen. And the epilogue and
teaser for the next book has me dying to get my hands on it. Please.
I
am such an idiot for starting this series that the beautiful Devney Perry is
still writing rather than one of the other series she has already finished
because I have absolutely no chill. I can't handle waiting between books
because my goldfish memory promptly forgets all the cute little inside
knowledge I've acquired from the previous books. And although this works as a
standalone, I want to be in the know damn it.
That
said I did remember bits and pieces of the previous characters as they floated
in and out of this book so that was enough to pull me off the ledge. And this
book was so much about Jasper and Eloise that at times I forgot about everyone
else. And I was so unable to put it down I grabbed the whisper sync so I could
keep listening while I adulted.
I
adored this book and Eloise was perfect. Sometimes too perfect as she tried to
prove herself to her parents. But I loved her. Literally everything about her
was great, she didn't play games, she said what she was thinking, and she
genuinely cared about everyone around her. Jasper, I had moments with. And
honestly, I think it's just things my brain decided to focus on that caused me
issue.
Now
I'm going to be vague so as not to spoil anything here, but I need to vent.
Firstly, he expected Eloise to know how he felt when he really didn't give her a
lot to go on. And when there was an incident in regard to a ring, he didn't use
his words. And for me that was a big issue that I felt needed to be resolved
and just wasn't. Which is sticking in my brain like a splinter. "What
about the ring, Devney?" Then there were his inner thoughts on why he was
an arse at family dinner. Yeah, he was using it as an excuse, but it was still a
genuine issue he should have addressed. And I kept waiting and then, nothing.
I
know that those things were me issues more than story issues, but I can't stand
it when people expect you to know what they are feeling or thinking. Use your
big boy words. Luckily Jasper did get better at communication. But honestly it
was all Eloise having the patience of a saint and the stubbornness of a bull.
and the ability to use both to perfection.
Now
we have to wait forever for crimson river. Which sounds freaking amazing and I
can't wait. Gah, I hate waiting.
I kept getting the second book in this series pop up as a recommendation and upon reading the blurb I thought it sounded great, but I had to start at the start of the series since they sounded great too. So, I decided to use an audible credit and listen to this one.
From the first word I was invested. I genuinely liked both characters and I wanted to get to know them better and see how everything played out for them. The small-town setting was awesome and gave me a great feel for the secondary characters who I'm assuming will be through the rest of the series.
The suspense was right on point, and I was dying to see how things were going to unfold. The narration was awesome and next book has been set up so that I'm dying to read it.
I honestly cant tell you why it took me so long to read this book, I loved the last 2 in the series and I adore the whole college sports theme and the authors writing style is perfect so why has this sat on my TBR gathering dust? My brain annoys me sometimes.
Anyway I absolutely adored this book. Sadie was a little much at times but as someone who is often pulled up for her dark sense of humour and sarcasm I could relate to her. And even when she acted like a right bellend she was quick to acknowledge her over reaction and apologise so I grew to like her. Danny was just book boyfriend goals. Honestly I couldn't get enough of him.
And now I am dying to watch the next book in the series gather dust on my TBR until the preorder drops on my kindle in October.
Then as we saw things from Andy and Jane's point of view, I felt like I was part of the inside joke. Throw in the background story and I was so invested in these guys getting together. Even more so as everything Andy had been through came to light.
Because as broken as Andy was once he decided to pursue Jane, he gave the best boyfriend. Like serious #BoyfriendGoals. And watching how hard he worked to be everything he felt Jane deserved while waiting for the other shoe to drop had me sitting on the edge of my chair.
I couldn't put the book down. It had so much sweetness and hotness and drama and I had to know what was going to happen next and how certain things were going to play out or come to light. The story and characters were awesome, and I can't wait to read the rest of the series.
I can't even tell you why I decided to read this book now. I was on audible buying another book that I have had on my KU forever and this one popped up as recommended. But I ignored it and grabbed the book I went on there for and 5 minutes in I couldn't handle the voices or get into the story so I went back and grabbed this and I am so happy I did. Michelle Hercules has a heap of books on my TBR but this is the first one I have read.
And it was perfect NA. I saw most of the twists coming but I was hanging on every word seeing how it was going to happen and how they were going to deal with the fall out from it. Both characters were likeable and had great development and I loved the banter and diversity of friends, family and hobbies. It made them feel very real and I couldn't put the book down. I'm 100% adding book 2 to the TBR mountain.
Ok so this book has been everywhere and when I went to check it out on kindle it was in KU so I grabbed it and then threw on $3.50 whispersync. So, I alternated between listening and reading this and I loved every minute of it.
Clay and Giana were both great characters. They
both had their own life issues happening and they each were just such nice,
likeable people I loved them both. At moments I thought Giana was the absolute
show of the story and then Clay went off and was all boyfriend goals and I thought
he had stolen the show and then Giana would pop up in her sweet awkward
backbone of steel way so in the end I just think they were both awesome and
perfect for each other.
I am so glad I read Fair Catch right before this.
Not because it was needed but just because after I put this down I know I would
be jumping into it since the next one isn't released for a while and I hate
reading them out of order. And I can't wait to get my grabby hands on Holden's
book now.
I read and loved The Wrong Game by Kandi and then went and added a heap of her books to my TBR and promptly forgot that I liked her writing and wanted to read more as her books slowly fell down my TBR. Then Blind Side popped up every-freaking-where and I went to grab it from kindle and saw it was on KU. I got half way through the first page and it mentioned the characters from Fair catch and I realised they were interconnected so I went back to KU and grabbed this one to read first. Then I threw on the whispersync and listened to half of it and I have to say I enjoyed both reading and listening to it.
The characters were great and so was the narration. Riley had moments when she was a little knee jerk reactive to silly things but she was steered straight and got over herself. And now I get to dive into Blind Side knowing who's who and what just happened. Can't wait.
I grabbed this on audible and then felt like I needed to read the prequel first before I listened to it until I finally just jumped in and there was the prequel in the bloody audible version.
And omg the prequel was so sweet and then I was mad. But luckily it then jumped right into this book, and I quickly got over my anger and got lost in the chemistry between these guys because damn I was fanning myself in the middle of winter. These guys were so hot together. I got lost in the story and the narration was perfect. I loved the voices, and it was performed beautifully.
I want to rant about the way it all played out, but I really don't want to ruin it for anyone, and I'll be honest and say that although it's something that I personally am annoyed about it worked for the book and it didn't ruin the story for me I just wanted it to go the other way.
It took me a minute to realise that Harlow was the daughter from one of the couples in the Southern Series and since the next two books are Travis's sisters, I'm hoping that the reason the thing that annoyed me happened is so we get more Travis and Harlow in the next books.
And now I'm off to preorder the next book because this series is just Natasha Madison gold.
I read Let’s Get Textual in January 2020 and promptly added I Wanna Text You Up to my KU library with plans to read it right away, but then life got in the way. And every time I would get the dreaded “you have too many books in your KU library” message I couldn’t bring myself to return this one to make room because I HAD to read it. I so enjoyed the writing of the last one and as full length introductions to new authors went it was perfect. Because I had first read some of Teagan Hunter’s works in the team player anthology and needed more.
Now I gotta admit I couldn’t remember a lot of the previous book. I just remember that Zoe’s BFF had previously dated this guy before she met her books hero and they had parted very amicably. And now said BFF was moving out and leaving Zoe to find a new roommate. Which was where Caleb came in.
I did have a moments doubt because, girl code, but then I was pretty sure that wasn’t going to be an issue with the way Caleb and his ex broke it off. And luckily it wasn’t. However, it also wasn’t ignored and I loved the way that Zoe approached it. The major drama was actually Caleb being a bit of a wussy pillow. The stunt he pulled towards the end of the book would have had me leaving his clothes on the curb. But Zoe was more mature than that and very understanding.
I did listen to the whisper sync version of this, and I think it left me a little confused at times as there was obviously a fair amount of texting going back and forth that I wasn’t seeing. But it wasn’t anything major just every now and then the narrator would say Caleb and I would be like what? Then realise it was a text from him. The voice was good. And easy to follow. I wish we had gotten Caleb’s POV but meh it wasn’t really needed he just needed to use his big boy words more.
Now I’m off to add the next book to my KU library and hopefully I can get to it before next year. Kisses


I didn't know I was that person. You know - the one who gets the kids. But that's what the will said. June Lawler: legal guardian. All my sister's kids have ever known is San Francisco, but I have to take them back to our family's small-town farm.
The last thing I'm expecting is the dark car rolling down my dirt driveway. The man who steps out of it is as rich as he is rude, and I want nothing to do with him. Even if my traitor body didn't get the message.
***
My little brother was everything to me. Now even his kids are gone. Spirited away to Heat Springs, Georgia - population 298.
They're living on a farm that's on the brink of bank foreclosure with a 26-year-old who didn't finish high school. Nowhereville is not the place for little Mastersons, but I'll get them back.
"June Bug" Lawler is poorer than the red dirt she comes from. It's money she must want, and I've got plenty of that. I've never met a problem that my money couldn't solve. This country girl won't be the first.

"Great story and great narration made this the perfect audiobook." ~ Jackie Wright, Goodreads Reviewer
"I loved this book, I loved the whole package, the characters, the story, the added drama. Everything. It was sweet, it was emotional, it was addictive." ~ Pamela Lilley, Goodreads Reviewer

After
being wiped out for 3 days with a migraine I got up this morning still feeling
like arse and a little screen sensitive so I thought I would try an audible
book. First can I say, man, I managed to make that a mission and a half. I
didn't want one that was too long, I had to do a sample of all of them to see
which voices I liked and finally I had to figure out WTF I felt like reading. Yeah
I was dumb enough to consider content last after finding a heap of books that
passed the first 2 barriers only for me to not be feeling them.
Finally,
I picked up Kinda Don't Care because, Lani Lynn Vale and those narrator's. Damn
those were some soothing, easy to listen to voices. I really need to find more
of their books. Now, I don't really listen to a lot of audio books because I
need something to do with my hands and because I find my eyes wandering and
dragging my attention with them. Also because with toddlers being toddlers I am
always having to put it down and pausing always makes me miss a minute, and my
temper from being disturbed.
Rafe
and Janie were great together. They were both very interesting and despite the
fact that there was that slight issue of them both being engaged to other
people I was so invested in their relationship. Although I really wish I had
read some of the other books first because I need to know all their stories. I
love as much as I hate that all these characters are woven throughout all of
these series, cause I keep reading them backwards.
As
always Lani delivered an amazing story that sucked me in from the first page
until the very end. And the voices were on point and I'm so glad I finally
committed to this for my day of rest and recovery because this was the perfect
read. It had enough going on to keep me completely wrapped up in the story and
a heap of really random laugh out loud moments. Loved It.


I might have gotten myself into a wee bit of trouble - and I'm not talking about the "court mandated community service", or "therapy sessions from bashing a bloke in the head" kind of trouble.
I wish it were that simple.
Nope. I'm talking about the "falling in love with one of my client's daughters", kind of trouble...The kind of problem I can't talk my way out of when the truth gets out.
How I ended up with her phone is a long story - and when she called to get it back, I took things a bit too far. One innocent exchange wound up leading to so much more.
Fun, new, and totally immune to my charm, Sutton is different. And I had no idea she was the daughter of Foster Green.
Blame it on the dark colored stout running through my veins, pushing me toward one bad decision after another. Pushing me toward her even though I know right from wrong; even though she's my client's daughter.
Dating her might be the best or worst decision I've ever made. Only time, whiskey, and one more roll around the mattress with her will tell.
