Things a good neighbor can do for you:
1. Give you a cup of sugar
2. Let you borrow his lawnmower
3. Water your plants while you’re on vacation
4. Make your eyes roll back in your head with his tongue
Katya Tocci has never paid much attention to who lives next door – her career always kept her too busy. She’s a good girl, working her way to becoming the most sought after cake designer in all of San Francisco.
But even a good girl’s gotta cut loose once in a while, right? So one fake dating profile later, and she’s ready to tarnish her squeaky clean image. Little does she know, her fun time is closer to home than she ever imagined.
Throw in a neighbor who wants to corrupt her, and another who just wants to own her, and her entire world is flipped upside down.
Who knew neighbors could be so helpful?
Excerpt
It was no joke.
Liam had been waiting in the lobby for her at nine o’clock, sharp. Liam Edenhoff – “but everyone calls me Eden” – he’d introduced himself again to her before guiding her out to a taxi he’d had waiting.
She felt a little nauseous. She’d chugged down another half bottle of wine, and some crème de menthe, before heading downstairs to meet him. She’d almost talked herself out of going, but she’d made the mistake of telling her roommate Tori about the whole fiasco. Apparently, Katya owed it to women everywhere (and Tori in particular) to explore this opportunity to its fullest. She’d all but been shoved out the apartment, the door slammed and locked in her face.
“Nervous?” Liam Eden-whatever-his-name-was asked her as the cab slowed to a crawl.
“Nope,” Katya’s voice sounded overly loud.
“Liar. Tonight is gonna be an interesting night, angel cake.”
“Stop calling me that.”
“What’s your last name?”
“None of your business.”
“Okay then – when the gang bang starts, I’ll tell them to call you Katya X.”
She couldn’t stop the blush from happening that time. Liam burst out laughing, then soothed the sting by grabbing her hand.
Even when they got out of the cab, he didn’t let go of her. Normally, she would’ve been uncomfortable with a stranger assuming such a familiarity with her, but this time, she was thankful for it. She held onto him tightly as they walked down a crowded street. Then they turned into an alley, and his gang bang joke didn’t seem so funny. He led her to a plain door, above which a simple, small, neon sign spelled out “The Garden”. Outside were several small groups of people, chatting and smoking. Some of them called out greetings to him, all of them using his nickname, but a large and scary looking bouncer addressed him very properly.
“Hey, Mr. Edenhoff, wasn’t expecting you in tonight. Any problems?”
“Nope, just bringing a friend to show her the place, let her see what I do for a living.”
All the blood was quickly rushing from Katya’s limbs, pooling somewhere in her stomach. None of this was a joke. He really did own the place, that much was obvious.
As Liam led her through the door, though, Katya actually felt a surge of confidence. She was still nervous, still more than a little scared, but she was okay with it. Liam seemed like a nice guy, he wasn’t going to take her into some dark room and insert foreign objects into her orifices. She could leave whenever she wanted to, whenever it got too uncomfortable. Everything was fine, and for once, she was doing something exciting. She’d even have something interesting to talk about at work the next day.
Finally.
BLP REVIEW ~ Rebecca
HOLY FUCK.
That is all.
Speechless.
Except for the word Fuck. Which is on repeat in my head. Hot, unexpected, different, totally addictive, read in one sitting Holy Fuck of a book!
I don’t even know where to start.
#TeamLiam
#TeamWulfy
#TeamKatya
#TeamTacos
#Team69
I have no clue whose team I’m on, well no, the last 2 are confirmed but the first 3 are up in the air on a cliff-hanger extraordinaire!
Stylo Fantome’s blown my mind. Again.
Degradation (The Kane Trilogy #1)
I haven’t read in a long, long time a book that I so loved and hated simultaneously, as fascinated as I was horrified. A train wreck of a relationship, as beautiful as it is broken, brutally raw, poignant, passionate, tragic and destructive. If the Devil had a fucked up contemporary fairy tale it would be this and the ride has only just begun…
Completion (The Kane Trilogy #3.5)
“Stylo Fantome … without doubt one of THE discoveries of 2014 … Hide yourself with a stiff drink and come meet Jameson and Tate, let Ms Fantome take you away for a few hours of sheer unadulterated bliss, the odd orgasm or two and make you remember why you read, why imagination is such a powerful and fabulous tool.”
My Time in the Affair
“Stylo Fantome’s talent is huge, her writing is flawless, emotional, thoughtful, sexy and deliciously hot. One click this now, in a sea of mediocrity her star shines brightly,”
Best Laid Plans (The Mercenaries #1)
Living in the frozen depths of Alaska is a still (God knows how) relatively unknown gem who goes by the name Stylo Fantome. As we now hit her sixth published book it is becoming more than clear that she is a talent who is here to stay, her flair and imagination, the complexity and emotional depth of her characters and stories combined with her ability to surprise with choice of genre or subject matter and yet still deliver every single time make her a one click automatic choice with no cover, blurb or info needed – just the author name alone.
When I look back at some of my reviews for her previous books I realise I should not be surprised at the quality of this one because her ability to write engaging, flawless stories across totally different genres is exceptional and consistent. Creativity like this does not come along often, with every single book her talent and growth as a writer shines through. I do worry about a mind that produced The Bad Ones, that was way too dark and fucked up for me even while I could appreciate the storytelling, so I’m very happy that Neighbors is a lighter read. Make no mistake though, it is not a fluffy light, it’s fast paced, surprising, intricate (without appearing to be), hot as fuck, sexy, all about the choices we make, the games people play, and the consequences good and bad of stepping outside our comfort zone.
I’m not going to put much in this review about the characters, the story and the dynamics involved because if you’ve read the blurb you know it gives very little away and that’s the way to go into this book; don’t read too many that give lots of spoilers or tell you the damn story before you get chance to experience this crazy, wild, intense, beyond fucking hot story.
Grab your drink of choice, turn your phone off and disappear into these pages to decide which team you are on, to scream at the kindle when the cliff-hanger ending comes unexpectedly fast because you were so invested in the characters and storyline that time ceased to exist. All three of the main players will fascinate you for different reasons. As always, nothing about any of the relationships is conventional as society sees it. Complex, frustrating at times yet addictive, guilty pleasures abound and it is absolutely flawless, a class of its own.
So as I said grab your drink, prepare snack of choice (tacos will work!!), turn off the phone, get new batteries and toy of choice (trust me the first sex scene, FUCK ME!) and get comfortable with Neighbors.
If it’s your first Stylo Fantome then pop your cherry in style. If you’ve read her previous work then settle in and prepare to be surprised. Either way, enjoy the shining light that is Ms Stylo Fantome and the absofuckinlutely fabulous Neighbors.
About the Author:
Crazy woman from a remote location in Alaska (where the need for a creative mind is a necessity!), I have been writing since … forever? Yeah, that sounds about right. I have been told that I remind people of Lucille Ball – I also see shades of Jennifer Saunders, and Denis Leary. So basically, I laugh a lot, I’m clumsy a lot, and I say the F-word A LOT.
I like dogs more than I like most people, and I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t drink. No, I do not live in an igloo, and no, the sun does not set for six months out of the year, there’s your Alaska lesson for the day. I have mermaid hair – both a curse and a blessing – and most of the time I talk so fast, even I can’t understand me.
Yeah. I think that about sums me up.
