Publisher's summary

Elizabeth knows what's expected of her - perfection. She's the daughter of an earl and expected to marry well and say and do the right things with a smile on her face when inside she's dying for a chance to escape. Thanks to an inheritance her godmother left her years ago, her chance will come with her next birthday.

Her hopes of escape abruptly end when Robert, her childhood nemesis whom she hasn't seen in over 14 years, comes back into her life and does everything he can to drive her out of her mind even as he steals her heart. He hated her. At least he tried to hate her, but it was so damn difficult to hate someone that he couldn't live without. He tried to ignore her, tried to focus on anything but her, but nothing worked. Somehow she made her way into his heart and started to make him want things that he never thought possible, made him smile and laugh even while she drove him out of his mind and started a legacy by turning him into...a Bradford.

Love, Love, Love the Bradford Men

This is one of my favorite series. The Bradford men crack me up. I love Mathewson's writing style and pace of the stories. I can't imagine anyone except Fran Jules performing these stories. Fran Jules ROCKS the Bradford Family.

The family trait of the Bradford's, including uncles and cousins is their ravenous appetites and love of food. Their antics against each other cause them to be banned from restaurants, food delivery services and of course all-you-can-eat buffets.

They tend to fall in love with women who are the opposite of what they envision to be their perfect wife. They also tend to bicker with and aggravate these women. I love how the Bradford men will take a statement or argument with their girlfriend/neighbor and turn it around to benefit them.

There's also a lot of sex. The Bradford men are extremely persistent in getting their way in the bed.

I go to these books after listening to an emotional draining story or dark suspense thriller or if I'm in a book rut. These stories also take on real life issues like being overweight, being a foster child, various medical issues but everything always works out with a HEA.

These books are well worth the credit or dollars.

Great romantic comedy

Any additional comments?

Hilarious, surprising, and a small glimpse back to how the Bradford's ended up in America. It's interesting to see familial traits all the way back to the 1800's. Great read. Laugh out loud funny. Great plot, storyline, and character development.

Fun, comedic romance

I discovered this author last year and she has yet to let me down. Her writing ability is fresh and I love the story of the Bradford family. Most of the time the Bradford antics have me laughing out loud. This is an enjoyable love story of how the Bradfords came to. be. I bought it on sale it was well worth the $. While I listened to this particular story, I really do enjoy reading the light wit this author seems to bring alive with her stories.

AMAZING!

10+ stars! I haven’t read a historical romance in a little while, this was awesome. R L Matthewson does such a wonderful job of drawing you in! The way she incorporated the history of the Bradfords in this story was excellent! This series can’t be missed. Don’t even try to guess where things are going, for every one thing you figure out, there are five things you didn’t see coming. The tropes may begin as enemies to lovers, but that’s not all, there is always way more in store for you!
Fran Jules is awesome! I loved her in the previous neighbors from hell books, but this one sealed it, she is now my all-time favorite female narrator! Not only does she do an excellent job distinguishing each character, male and female, but she also does accents incredibly well. I couldn’t put this book down, and at 3:30 in the morning when I finally finished I couldn’t sleep! I can’t wait to go on with the series, but I don’t want it to end, ever!💖

The most seductive neighbor!!!

Yes H/H's behaviors are childish but it seems real to me. Sometimes some people get the worse out of you. This is one of those books that leave you thinking at the end of it. In a way you are happy because the H/H ended up together of course, but in other sad because their life had to be so hard for two people growing up in luxury and with families so well off. Also stories that move forward decades always gives one a sense of melancholy to see it all gone and replaced by the new. Loved the love scenes especially the first one in the orangery. Loved this book.

GREAT FUNNY LOVING STORY. LOVED IT

Any additional comments?

This is a really good story great narration. I love this series so much. Must have book. This is one I can listen to over and over again

Tradition

My favorite part of the book was the tradition that they passed down from generation to generation. I also really enjoyed the relationship between Elizabeth and Robert. This was one of my favorite books in this series so far.
The thing I found most annoying though was the narrator. Her British accent was not good at all and ruined some of it for me.

Truce

I am always entertained by the Bradford’s and their women. I wasn’t sure about this one at first, but found I absolutely loved it. It was really fun to hear how the Bradford’s came to be. I loved the characters. I’d definitely recommend this series!
