Publisher's summary

They call him the Anaconda, and I'm pretty sure it isn't because he likes snakes. Nick Jenson is my neighbor. My hot, oh-so-sexy, very-well-equipped neighbor that I'd spend hours watching from the safety of my bedroom window. I saw lots of things I probably shouldn't have. Sometimes I'd touch myself, imagining it were his hands roaming over my body instead of my own. I had just one mission - to find out if the rumors were true.

Then one day, he caught me watching him. I was mortified. I was prepared to quit college, move to another country, and live the rest of my life saying, "Nick who?" But, apparently, life had other ideas. Because Nick? Well, he isn't just my neighbor... He's also my father's best friend. If I thought things were difficult before, they were about to get a whole lot more complicated. Oh, and those rumors? Holy fuck, were they true... Contains mature themes.

This is a book that has been on my TBR for years, and I just grabbed the audiobook at random from my library when nothing was calling to me. Unfortunately, I think it sat too long on my shelf because the story is not one that really interests me anymore, and I ended up barely paying attention to it. I found the heroine to be childish and naive, and something about the hero was cringey. I thought her dad was too involved in their story, and the Hero's kids were not involved enough. Overall, it mostly just wasn't my type of story anymore, and I was bored throughout.

It’s Complicated

My first 🎧book by this author and it was okay, I had really no expectations since I didn’t know what to expect. It was cutesy without it being to unrealistic but something was missing…The main characters were lacking chemistry to make it an explosive listening experience. The ending was rushed and it has a HFN. Is it worth a credit? Thankfully this 🎧book was free but I would say maybe.

Lack’s relationship development

I could not connect with these characters AT ALL! The female character is way to immature to be with this adult single father! She seems like a kid herself! The male character is a POS father who only cares about screwing his friends daughter. He doesn’t even care enough about his kids to be discreet and finds it funny that they knew all along about him banging the neighbor girl. He had numerous one night stands before that and appears to only want sex all the time. There is no connection between the main characters besides that. I normally like age gap romance, but this was just sex with a friends child. He didn’t seem to really miss his wife or care about his kid’s feelings. He felt really slimy to me. Yuck!

anaconda

I love the story of the characters that was told. nothing in life is never easy if it's worth having. the way the story start as a flirty situation that turned in a true beautiful blossom love story. 👏🏽 author on a wonderful love story...

Needed to be a little longer

Character development could have been a little better, felt sort of rushed. Cute story though. Wish the lead female didn’t sound like she had a mouth full of braces though.

Okay

The female character was driving me nuts. She was very immature & whiny.. I like the male character

very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

Quick and Cute

A great story if you are wanting an easy read with a second chance love. There wasn’t a lot of depth to the characters, but the story didn’t really need it. A hea that makes you smile and feel good for the entire cast of characters. If you want a light read, this is definitely the one for you.

Fast pace

I enjoyed and laughed a lot. I liked that it moved quickly. Age gap stories creep me out and is my only negative- but it wasn’t as awkward as it could’ve been. It’s worth the listen.

Disappointed

I was excited to listen to this book but horribly disappointed with performance and story.
