There was nothing more painful than falling in love with your best friend.

From New York Times best-selling author R.L. Mathewson comes the prequel to the disturbingly funny romantic-comedy series Neighbor from Hell.

She couldn’t do this anymore.

After watching her best friend and the man whom she’d been in love with her entire life propose to another woman, Morgan decided that it was time to finally move on. She made plans, plans that Eric didn’t know about, and she planned to keep it that way, but unfortunately for her, one bet destroyed everything, leaving her with no choice but to be there for her best friend one last time.

He was done.

After catching his fiancée cheating on him, Eric Bradford was done wasting his time on women with whom he had absolutely no hope of falling in love. He just needed time, a chance to get away, and he just needed...her.

Determined to figure out how he kept screwing up his life, Eric asks Morgan for one more favor, one that would change everything and leave him with no choice but to do whatever it takes to stop the one woman who meant everything to him from finally walking away.

I love the fact that she is going back and writing stories that are before the series started. This is one of my all-time favorite series. It is so entertaining there’s comedy and romance. I have read so many romance books that they become predictable. So far the series is not predictable and I have reread them many times. I also read some of her other series and she covers such a variety of style of writing. I can’t wait to find more that she has written.
The reader of the story does a awesome job, and she is one of my favorite readers

The whole series is well worth the read
